Foresight Sports GCHawk
Space requirements
Ceiling-mounted in front of/above the hitting zone. Per Home Performance Lab's 2026 review of Foresight specs: 9.5 ft ceiling minimum with 10-10.5 ft the recommended working range; at exactly 9.5 ft the hitting zone shrinks. Hitting zone 52 in x 30 in.
- Width: 10 ft workable offset, 14 ft for a centered both-handed bay (industry guidance — see model).
What it measures
Ball data (9): ball speed, vertical launch angle, horizontal launch angle, total spin, spin axis, carry distance, apex, descent angle, offline from target
Club data (7): club head speed, smash factor, angle of attack, club path, loft at impact, lie and face angle at impact, impact location on club face (full club data uses Foresight fiducial club markers)
Measured vs. calculated: Quadrascopic overhead cameras directly measure ball launch and club delivery; flight modeled in FSX from measured launch.
Accuracy: Foresight markets GCHawk as commercial-grade with the same quadrascopic photometric measurement as GCQuad; Home Performance Lab's 2026 hands-on review found accuracy consistent with Foresight's portable units.
