SkyTrak SkyTrak+ discontinued
Space requirements
Sits next to the ball, saving depth vs radar units that need up to 8 ft behind the hitting area. SkyTrak guidance: 7 ft clearance around the player, tee 10-12 ft from screen, 9-10 ft ceiling.
- No space needed behind the ball — the unit doesn't sit on the target line behind the tee.
- 6 ft minimum ball-to-screen per manufacturer/retailer guidance.
- 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, launch angle, back spin, side spin, side angle, descent angle, carry distance, total distance, shot shape
Club data (5): club head speed, smash factor, club path, face angle, face-to-path
Measured vs. calculated: Photometric camera system measures ball launch directly; dual Doppler radar measures club delivery (speed, path, face angle). Distances modeled from measured launch conditions.
Accuracy: Shop Indoor Golf's ST MAX review: testers using SkyTrak+ and ST MAX side by side 'consistently report no meaningful accuracy difference' — same dual Doppler radar + photometric core.

Notes
Pricing: Officially discontinued (announced 2026); selling through remaining inventory at $1,995 ($1,000 below the $2,995 MSRP). No restock coming — ST MAX is SkyTrak's sole model going forward.
Left-handed players: Unit sits beside the ball; handedness set in software, player stands on the opposite side — no unit repositioning documented ('configuration flexibility mentioned').
SkyTrak discontinued official third-party simulator-software support for new customers in the 2025-26 membership restructure; existing lifetime plan holders keep access with at least an Essential plan. GSPro connection is community/unofficial only.
