HUGE SkyTrak Update: Honest First Impressions

[@1102sparten]

Also, all the ranges are not shown when you do All Ranges, you have to select View All so you see them on a list on the right, download and then select and hit ‘Tee Off’ on Bottom Right.

[@davidcole2337]

It is a huge update. Integrated Course for $220. And updated Graphics for Driving Range and Skill test.

[@hcpgolf]

I think you need to the Essential plan as well to get courses, which is another $129

[@JG_20_25]

SkyTrak just released version 5.1 for Apple iOS. It would be great if you can do a review of that…specifically the Course Play. Thanks!

[@hcpgolf]

I’ll look into it 👍🏼

[@JG_20_25]

Thanks. Much appreciated. Always enjoy your videos!

[@davidkirbell9000]

Nice review Mitch. I’m interested to see the ball physics on course play. On the range the ball always seems to stop dead on skytrak where in real life there would often be more roll out. Gs Pro physics are pretty good and my gut feel is skytrak physics for course play will let this product down. Interesting to see how this now evolves. Best wishes good sir.

[@hcpgolf]

Ye that’s a great point I’d be interested to see the ball physics too

[@jerrywbissey1797]

And more positive feelings about the product. Golf course graphics are very competitive on a quality basis with GSPro.

[@hcpgolf]

I’m yet to try out the course software

[@peterbates7969]

Accuracy island is 30 metres wide, seen it on an email from SkyTrak

[@hcpgolf]

Ye I found that on the description of the driving range towards the end!

[@zacryan2095]

does this only comes if you pay for the membership correct or you just get the old version with no add ons?

[@hcpgolf]

If you don’t pay for any membership, you will be on the basic/free package which just gives you access to the standard driving range and none of its features

[@TheGeordieGolfer]

Good honest first impression Mitch. I’ve not got this, but based upon this, I think I’ll wait a while as like say, it doesn’t look finished & some of the features are a little odd. Good video tho mate 👍🏻

[@hcpgolf]

Thanks mate I appreciate that. Hope you’re all good pal 👍🏼⛳️

[@TheGeordieGolfer]

@@hcpgolf all good mate. Been busy with work, some golf, but not much time for doing any content, so channel been very quiet for last 2-3 months tbf

[@NS-ok4ov]

Are you using OG Skytrak in this video? Or plus?

[@hcpgolf]

Original SkyTrak 👍🏼

[@JH-sb2kz]

I have the OG SkyTrak since winter 2018. I get tired of the no reads

[@hcpgolf]

Must admit I’m starting to get more & more frustrated with them

[@davidcole2337]

it works with new update. Also you need well lighted area and no white background behind you.

[@JH-sb2kz]

@@hcpgolf yeah me as well. I’m at the point I am ready to move on to another brand.

[@JH-sb2kz]

@@davidcole2337 yeah I’ve done it all. I’ve had it for going on 6 years and know all the quirks of it.

[@Evan_Rodgers]

@@hcpgolfMitch if you do change it’d be great to see a multi-video shootout of the contenders (guessing- GC3, Eye Mini Lite, Mevo +, Maybe a ceiling monitor and any new LMs that might be released)

[@citizensauto]

Does it have an Angle of Attack metric? That's a key metric Skytrak doesn't have

[@mozzarella3416]

Not on the original. You need club data capture to get that

[@Evan_Rodgers]

Great vid, mate. Everybody in the Sim/LM space is really bringing the heat this year. Hope a company releases a surprise LM later this year hmm ;)

[@hcpgolf]

I feel like you have something in the pipeline? 👀

[@mambawatts]

Hi r u running your skytrak via network or usb mode?

[@hcpgolf]

USB mode 👍🏼

[@johndixon9965]

Think it's picking up your white trainers.

[@hcpgolf]

You’re probably right, but I’ve always worn white shoes when using the SkyTrak and for whatever reason on this particular day it was no reading a hell of a lot more than it usually does 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@OllieMartinGamer]

Are you not meant to smash the wall? I guess you hit it and it breaks, then it moves furher and further away?

[@hcpgolf]

Hmm possibly?

[@nbargolf]

@@hcpgolf no I hit the wall all it did was bounce off

[@pmata814]

🤣🤣🤣

[@jerrywbissey1797]

Love your videos Mitch but this one could have been researched better. Other reviews I’ve seen have now provided more answers.

[@hcpgolf]

Why what’s wrong with it? It was purely a first impression of the software 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ElVerdeVida]

GSPRO Was, is and will be the best option. 350 Not worth it. maybe 200 at most would be... and maybe not even that, maybe 150 would sell good. Cause for 200..i still prefer to add those 50 and get gspro

[@hcpgolf]

The software does look pretty impressive, but not a patch on GSPro and everything you get within it for the price

[@Eleq84]

That’s pants… Get the courses Mitch, do it for the people! 😜

[@hcpgolf]

😂😂 I probably will!

[@csc30]

I just downloaded and the regular driving range looks like and behaves like windows 95 graphics..wtf. AND I need to pay more money for the courses when I already have the more pricey version. Honestly - not impressed and will revert back to the previous version.

[@hcpgolf]

I do quite like the new range offerings, but as for the price of the courses I think its pretty steep (especially if you have the highest end subscription)

[@justinnovak7747]

I agree I put the old software back on... The graphics of the standard driving range was ugly!, yardage markers don't show numbers wtf..

[@jgixrod]

Looks like absolute trash. That brick wall reminds me of when I used to play doom in the 90s

[@hcpgolf]

😂😂

[@jerrywbissey1797]

Very unimpressed with this update.

[@hcpgolf]

I think it’s a good update, just could have been a little more thought out

[@burningbum]

Hmmm, don't think I'll be buying a SkyTrak

[@coreyd1474]

if you are a good enough player that you have the ability to work the ball, and know how your ball reacts when its on the green you will HATE these devices. they're TRASH. they're made for the average to high handicap golfer to have fun and play terrible courses and for people who like to putt in a simulator.

[@hcpgolf]

Interesting. I know a fair few low/scratch and even plus hcp golfers who feel that these launch monitors are pretty accurate

[@coreyd1474]

@@hcpgolf well i guess i just got unlucky with mine then even the st+ won't register ball speeds over 180 correctly at all.
