What we like

  • Dual-camera accuracy rivals units twice the price
  • Compact and portable; works outdoors too
  • Clearance pricing: the accuracy benchmark under $2k while stock lasts

What to know

  • Locked into SkyTrak's own software — third-party support ended for new buyers in 2025, and GSPro was never official
  • Course play effectively needs the $299.99/yr Core membership
  • Needs ~12 feet of room depth to read ball flight
  • Discontinued — a 6-month warranty and an uncertain support runway
  • 8–10 second shot processing feels slow next to radar

The SkyTrak+ answers the question every serious home-sim shopper eventually asks: how close can I get to tour-van numbers without spending tour-van money? After the original SkyTrak defined the budget photometric category, the plus model added a second camera, a faster processor, and a doppler-assisted club read — and it shows. One thing has changed since launch: SkyTrak has discontinued the unit in favor of the newer ST MAX, which puts the SkyTrak+ on clearance at $1,995 while retailer stock lasts.

Accuracy: where the money went

Ball speed, launch angle, and spin tracked within a whisker of reference units in aggregated owner testing. Carry distances on full shots landed inside 2–3 yards of premium camera units. Where it gives ground is club data — head speed comes from the doppler assist, but face angle isn't measured at all. If you're chasing swing-fault diagnosis, that matters; if you're playing casual simulator rounds, it doesn't.

The specs

Room fit: the dealbreaker check

This is the spec that sends a third of buyers elsewhere: SkyTrak+ wants the ball roughly 9 feet from the screen and the unit needs to see ball flight, which in practice means 12 feet of room depth minimum. Ten-foot ceilings keep your driver swing honest, and because the unit sits beside the ball, a shared lefty/righty household means physically moving it. Measure twice — there is no firmware update for a small room.

Software: the half of the purchase nobody specs

This is the part that changed in 2025, and most older reviews haven't caught up: SkyTrak ended official third-party software support for new buyers. E6 Connect, TGC 2019, and ProTee connections now apply only to grandfathered legacy licenses — and GSPro was never officially supported, whatever the forums improvised. A SkyTrak+ bought on clearance today lives inside SkyTrak's own app, full stop. Budget that honestly too: Essential ($129.99/yr) covers practice ranges, and real course play starts at the Core tier, $299.99 a year. If GSPro league nights are the dream, this is the wrong unit — that's not a knock on the cameras, it's the ecosystem decision SkyTrak made for you.
