5 Reasons NOT to Buy the SkyTrak+

[@markholbrook8792]

I just got Skytrak+ and love it. So far it has been very good. No launch monitor is perfect but this one reads our shots 99% of the time. Only in rare cases does it miss. Usually lightly or some other issue. Price was $1000 less than the uneker mini. Yes no numbers on the device but having a screen is NOT a downside for me. We have a full sim space with projector. Having it side mounted really helps. We can sit more people behind to watch. Compared to the MLM2Pro P.O.S. that I had this thing is a dream. We have, since I purchased it, had 3 solid 18 hole simulation rounds with lots of practice before and as well. It's been great. Is it for everyone. Certainly not.

I have a Mevo+ and am currently looking at swapping it out for the SkyTrak+. The main reason being is just I find the set up of the Mevo+ is very specific and if, like me, you don't have a permanent area to leave it all out it's just a massive hassle. I was put off the original SkyTrak as it wasn't meant to be much good outdoors but those issues seem to have been resolved on the + so will almost certainly be making the switch. BTW, I find putting on the Mevo+ incredibly hit or miss as well.

[@breakingeighty]

Totally get those issues! My least favorite aspect of the Mevo Plus is the setup process, which depending on where you're setting it up, can be relatively painless to quite frustrating. And putting on ANY launch monitor (except maybe the Golfzon Wave) is not going to be great. I wouldnt expect it to be much better on the SkyTrak+, so set your expectations correctly. And as long as you're not hitting off grass outside, the SkyTrak+ should be great!

I'd love to see a special video on putting practice for the winter months! I'm just starting to explore the Stack putting app now and have a Birdieball matt, but would love to level up my indoor putting practice

[@nunyab9780]

Mine is very inaccurate… it slices extremely… when i visually see the ball go straight

[@OMG-2]

The BIGGEST PROBLEM for most people to tackle IF the want to use it in sim is SPACE. SKYTRAK, BUSHNELL, EYE MINI, solve this problem and the latter 2 provide great putting & chipping as well. Now that the Eye Mini is selling for less than 4k and its subscription model is so much cheaper than the Bushnell it has to be considered as a contender as well - how about a review?

[@unitedbacon]

Eye Mini haven’t tried yet. Their site says it’s $4500. Packages are $199, $399/year or $2k unlimited - can’t tell if that’s $2k/year or lifetime/onetime. I don’t consider that in the same price range as ST+ nor BLP, plus most everything else is less. The one video I watched shows it coming with its own mini suitcase but even just the unit looked larger & bulkier, so the least portable of these 3. Have you tried & compared it?

[@OMG-2]

@@unitedbacon On sale now for $3500 til 10/8 --> Seems like $199 plus GSPro makes it much cheaper over the long haul than Bushnell My Understanding is the $199 - is basically a supported connector to E6 and/or GSPRO which is purchased separately. $399 is all of 199 and their Refine software and more cloud data $2K is one time with Refine+ and all of $199 but unsure if it includes updates.

[@sellnbrew1]

Uneekor Eye Mini owner here. The Eye Mini with ball and club data is $199 annually. $399 gets you a handful of golf courses that are vastly inferior to Gspro. The EM plus GS pro is hands-down the best portable combo in golf simulation (IMO). Annual subscription on the BLP is $699. Too much in my opinion.

[@pedroaneses2380]

None of these are red flags

[@RolandDobbins]

The Skytrak+ has no real downsides, except price. R10/Awesome Golf is a great budget alternative, but requires more physical space. Your complaint in your previous video about the lack of a case is absurd. Just buy a $30 case for your $3K launch monitor; golf isn’t fair. A more legitimate complaint would be the fact that they charge an extra $250 for the protective cage.

[@anthonyserritella1333]

The protective case for ST+ is only $99. Original ST case is $149.

[@RolandDobbins]

@@anthonyserritella1333 - I thought I paid $250 for it at launch.

[@user-sf3zc2bp5m]

Skytrak works great with TGC but it has trouble with other programs. I love GSPRO so the skytrak had to go and I bought the GC3.

[@boileaub]

At that price point, why not just getting the Bushnell Launch Pro? Seems like a no brainer,

[@unitedbacon]

BLP subscription $700 vs $130 or $250 per year. Also it does not after club path to club face I believe they call it, but ST+ does. Does BLP offer E6 access? Or just GSPro? So, there a few reasons leaning against what appears to be a simple decision for you.

[@kurtislowe6749]

Because the yearly subscription is a ridiculous if a price

[@GayCatDad]

BLP if $2k more than ST+ for the face and path data

[@elh93]

I'm not buying one because it's really out of my budget and I'm coming to the end of golf season without a space to setup an indoor simulator. I'm waiting for Garmin to release an R50, and/or a price drop on the R10.

[@live2sled]

You might want to mention TGC as a simulator option. I think 90% of us SkyTrak people use it for simulation software …

[@clints8888]

uneekor mini is the new king in this range

[@damiensmith8351]

It's not really in the same range, though, is it. Its £5500 vs 2k/3k. Almost double.

[@clints8888]

@@damiensmith8351 can’t be 5000 pound surely?

[@damiensmith8351]

@clints8888 check the price, its £5495

[@clints8888]

sorry it’s way to pricey over there as it’s $8,800 here in oz

[@unitedbacon]

A few more downsides I can think of which may outweigh one of your top 5’s: - Requires a screen - iPhone, iPad, computer, etc. - Setting up a simulator E6 is not straightforward. Extremely cumbersome and needs an “easy button” - On a Mat vs on grass - I’ve heard the red dot it displays it’s hard to see in the sun. Also that it has accuracy difficulty if blades of grass are involved. When I asked their support I was told debris & grass gets in the camera lense’s way - so Jury is out

[@OMG-2]

You are right those are additional downers but I am not focusing on range work, just indoor sim. If my focus was range then Mevo or MLM2PRO would be more obvious choices than SkyTrak+

Garbage thumbnail for clickbait.... "Oh, I actually think it's really really good." KZbin content makers: Please stop misdirecting for clicks. Be genuine.

[@clw22580]

No gs pro not as accurate as gc3

[@scottgrabowski6110]

TGC19 works just fine. Garbage review. I love my Skytrak+

[@somguy5035]

Sorry if Mr Skytrak is your dad or something

[@Mobev1]

As a pro who has made over 22 million usd on the South American tour winning in llano grande I use this everyday. Excuse my English

[@The559Jeff]

Skytrak glitches and crashes, no customer support. Yeah don’t buy.

[@anthonyserritella1333]

My first ST+ had issues. After 5 minutes on live chat they sent me a return authorization number. Had new unit in just a couple days. It works perfectly. Support will have to be by live chat. Impossible to reach cust svc by phone.
