[@davidcole2337]

The Standard Skytrak has this feature as well and it really is eye opener on Bag Mapping. Your Driver distant in this video is basically my Average. and yes you get tired hitting all those balls..

[@jamesdunn581]

Thanks for this. I'm super interested in this machine. Hope your foot heals up quick!

[@anthonypapa9407]

You might need a Lie Angle adjustment in your irons go flatter on the short irons and more upright on the long irons. Great feature on the Sky Trak

[@joeb5958]

I was just thinking the same thing. This bag gapping could be a good way to find some of those rats in the bag that lie has been changed for constant swings into the ground

[@LetsPlayThru]

Great suggestion

[@joeola72]

Thanks for a great video! This will be my next buy as soon I have settled in my new house. Will be perfect for winter training and the days I don't have the time to go to the golf course and practice

[@barrywood-pe9pv]

Not sure if it has been mentioned but you can change the offset on the range so that the center line is moved over in line with your ball position.

[@davidadamo8975]

Gabe you can change the offset (center line) go to settings , camera angle, you can slide the center line right to match you path

[@frank2745]

The last skytrak has had issues with higher swing speeds (110+), have you experienced any?

[@coldzero1214]

Just received mine. Having issues with network mode. Do you know how to factory reset it? There’s no pin hole to stick a paper clip on it like the OG.

[@arturopalma7997]

Nice setup, how did you setup your screen that the ball just fall?

[@gregcochennet385]

I have a few questions for you. How big is your screen and what did you use for your projector. I am planning on purchasing one of these in the near future.

[@ednewton271]

How far from the impact screen are you when using the Skytrak+ and does it matter for the accuracy of the unit? Thanks. I enjoy your videos.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Just enough to be comfortable and not have bounce back. 8’ is recommended but it won’t affect accuracy of the read if shorter.

[@robertshields6214]

I’m out of the country so can’t check but the only thing new is wedge option right in the software? I’d like to actually see if I should upgrade from the old to the new Skytrak.

[@LetsPlayThru]

I think the three main reasons why someone would upgrade would be the slightly improved accuracy, the club path, data, and the portability factor if you were going to use both indoors and outdoors. The original Skytrak is still a great device as well so if those reasons aren’t compelling enough, maybe just best to stick with what you’ve got.

[@starwf07]

This unit seems very cool and useful, especially considering its price point. I so wish my house had an ample indoor space for a simulator space, because I would be all over this.

[@ThomasHoffDE]

if you have a garage (even single car) you have enough space. that's where mine is. I just pull my car out to play then park it over mat. love it

[@nupezb]

I'm really liking what I'm seeing from this Skytrak+. Unfortunately, I don't have the space for a permanent setup, but I’m leaning toward this for my temporary setup. I love the space requirement, accuracy, and value.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes optical devices like the ST+ definitely are space savers

[@chasingthesun745]

I have the original Skytrak and it has many of the same features. The main difference is that the new one uses dopplar radar to track the club.

[@ThomasHoffDE]

yes - club face data is the big difference. otherwise I have all of this already. Think Skytrak 1 is a steal now

[@hiro96789]

Great content! Is there a way to adjust the centerline on the screen to match the actual aim point? Seems like that would be beneficial to a more immersive experience.

[@wadesworld6250]

Yes, there is a way to adjust the centerline.

[@dawnpatrolgolf]

Felt the same way with bag mapping. Wore me out hitting all the clubs in my bag with 5 shots each with the original SkyTrak. Wondering how club path and face angle are figured out with SkyTrak+?

[@LetsPlayThru]

Oh yeah, it's nearly too much for one session. Would be great if it could be paused. In addition to the camera, this has a dual doppler, so I think that definitely is going into the calculation.

[@sk8thenp8nt]

Any word on when pre orders will ship?

[@Nate710]

Great video. Two things, does the red dot distract in any way while hitting? Also, how do you like the simulator graphics compared to the GC3?

[@davidadamo8975]

Gabe you can change the offset in settings!

[@SDToom]

Curious on accuracy comparison between this and Rapsodo mlm2pro

[@LetsPlayThru]

Both are great. I’d have to go H2H to give a definitive answer on that.

[@coldzero1214]

For those of us upgrading from the OG Skytrak it would be good to know if you’ve experienced any issues with connectivity or missed shots. Looks like you’re using USB mode, have you tried direct or network mode?

[@LetsPlayThru]

Nope, none. I have only tried USB though

[@johnhahn77]

If upgraded from skytak to plus would this affect my current subscription plan? I have contacted support but no response after a week.

[@LetsPlayThru]

I would guess that it will roll over, but I do not know that answer for sure unfortunately.

[@theCycleReport]

I love the Skytrak Software for practice (i have the gen1 ST)

[@baseballfan9848]

I have to say, I am very impressed with your commitment to produce content. At 4minutes in I'm am exhausted sitting here watching what you did to map your bag. 70 + swings. I would assume that you could pace yourself but what a work out. Even changed shirts Kudos. I'll continue to watch this and see what other cool features you have to uncover. Might I suggest a less grueling demonstration of Putting? Thank you for taking the time to show not only the features of the device, but the uses and how powerful this device can be for game improvement. Do you feel this device is missing an additional camera to watch your swing? (Body, arms, legs, etc...) or club face impact camera such as the Uneekor Eye Mini has. I am curious to see what differences there are, and what value each can bring. Might be a new birthday or Xmas gift to myself.

[@LetsPlayThru]

I do think it would be nice if you could hook up a mobile device to act as a camera. Maybe we will see that functionality down the road. Fingers crossed anyway.

[@mdamiano88]

This looks really good, great informative video as always. I use my Mevo+ outside with a net, but this skytrak may need to replace it. I’d like to see how it works outside. Have you heard any issues with reads on higher swing speed drives/longer clubs? My flightscope originally struggled with that but has become very good since the RCT ball and recent updates.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes def plan to take it outside soon

[@mattsolomon6292]

Thank you for the video. Can you access the advanced data layout (with face data) while doing the exercises as you can on the range? Please take it outside. At this point it feels like ST has told influencers not to take it outside yet. Is that the case?

[@LetsPlayThru]

It’s not the case, in fact, they claim it is a big improvement outdoors over the last Skytrak. Unfortunately, I have been injured so I’m doing all the videos in my studio this week.

[@mattsolomon6292]

@@LetsPlayThru sorry to hear that, frustrating time of year to be injured. TY

[@andrewfraser2760]

Watching this as I await the first charge of the SkyTrak+ - can't wait until I get to turn it on and take it to the range :-)

[@markzinda8863]

I’d buy it for the Wedge Matrix alone.

[@justinhamrick384]

This is interesting. Does it record your swing, or have any options to add that capability? That is one thing that is nice on some other units. Looking forward to seeing how this does outdoors.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yeah I REALLY wish it did. I’m hoping they add some functionality to setup a Bluetooth connection to mobile devices soon.

[@Blackcloud319]

Your videos are beyond helpful despite you tiring out. That’s a lot of shots you put up in this video lol. I’m completely sold on this unit, what will set it over the top is if GSPro works for it🤞🏽

[@LetsPlayThru]

Glad they help 😀 GS Pro is def the best, I assume it will

[@Blackcloud319]

@@LetsPlayThru do you think using the WGT in the subscription, they’ll have tournaments how GS Pro does things? I’m interested in seeing the differences between both programs. If I’m going to spend 250/year on GS Pro, WGT plus all the other perks in that level subscription might be a better option in the long run… what are your thoughts?

[@jamestio8952]

Anyone can explain what does "powered by Rapsodo" means? It's not the made by Rapsodo right?

[@topgunbass]

Are these features included with the unit or is this the paid membership option. I think it's a nice unit but for the cost and membership mevo + seems better with the 15 free courses.

[@LetsPlayThru]

You get these features with the $99/year subscription

[@lederboard1955]

Will you do a review of the new swing caddie sc4? Nobody seems to be reviewing it which is very odd. Thanks.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes. The problem is they have been promising simulation and it hasn’t been ready.

[@lederboard1955]

@@LetsPlayThru understood. Still would like to see how accurate it is. Thanks.

[@JorgeMorales-do5pr]

Great review like every time. Thanks

[@alains751]

Great video Gabe. Supper informative as always.

[@alains751]

Btw. Can you tell me the best public golf courses in Tampa in your opinion?

[@LetsPlayThru]

Tampa should be much better for public golf than it is. We have some great layouts that are not in good condition. I guess I’d say WestChase, TPC Tampa and The Eagles in that order. If you can get to Southern Hills that’s fun and of course Streamsong is about an hour outside Tampa.

[@alains751]

Awesome. Thanks Gabe 👍

[@deanmackogolf8023]

Hi Gabe, really helpful video but all of these features are already available to us OG skytrak users. I think you are best positioned in the KZbin Universe to give us some definitive statistics on accuracy versus the blp. That's what everyone is waiting for!

[@LetsPlayThru]

From what I can tell it looks pretty bang on. The only thing I have a question about would be the driver. I can’t go head to head with the BLP because they need to sit in the same place but I could set up a Mevo + to test that.

[@deanmackogolf8023]

@@LetsPlayThru I would put the skytrak in left hand hitting mode and swing at the ball through the "channel" created by both units. That is how you would test the skytrak versus the blp. Testing the skytrak versus the mevo plus is not going to give us the answers we want, given the mevo plus has a relatively weak track record on its own.

[@JohnFrancisPorter]

@@LetsPlayThru While I don't have experience with the BLP, I assume it's similiar to the GCQUAD? If so, the original SkyTrak laser is 12'' from the unit and at approximately a 45 degree angle. The GCQuad hitting area is 14'' x 14'' square that is 22'' from unit and parallel (no angle). Therefore, for a right handed golfer, you should be able to place the BLP (if the same as GCQuad) to the right and 10'' behind the SkyTrak and use both units simultaneously. I own a SkyTrak and have the Plus on the way. My golf club uses a GCQuad (or a Trackman) for fittings. I've not done this before, but based on my experience with both, I think it's possible. One thing you may encounter is I know the GCQuad (not sure about BLP) requires stickers for clubface data. In my experience with SkyTrack it is susceptible to misreads with impact stickers, white drivers/woods, shiney club faces, or even white golf shoes. I am not sure if the stickers will cause an issue with the photometric algorithm they use.

[@chuckgauthier2374]

Very intrigued by this! Looks awesome! Do you prefer this or the bushnell?

[@LetsPlayThru]

From a software and game improvement standpoint, I think the Skytrak wins out. Still testing accuracy and other things so I can't make a full determination just yet.

[@chuckgauthier2374]

@@LetsPlayThru awesome! Thx! Looking forward to more videos!

[@nelsonnoriega814]

Hey Gabe when are you doing the tournament at CCC this year

[@LetsPlayThru]

Don’t have any plans to do it this year

[@sebmarc]

Those features are exactly the same as the Skytrak, no evolution. Same features, same screens. The new one has some data display with some new like face data, swing plan and measured club speed, spin. A review on those will be helpful.

[@Wade__T]

Thanks!

[@LetsPlayThru]

I truly appreciate the support, Wade. Thank you!

[@braxtonbuffington5518]

Great vid, man

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks pal

[@BuckeyeRiver]

You may want to flatten your short irons and wedges a little.

[@duxbury2002]

Terrible unit. I have had two. First one the battery wouldn’t charge so had to return it and it was exchanged for a new one. The new one stops working after a few shots. Sometimes 2 max 12. Go from all green lights to the red tick staying on the the other two lights flash blue and then turn green but the tick stays red with no laser. Have to turn unit off and on again to get it working then exactly same thing after a few hits.

[@jwheels9876]

What did they change with this new model? the delay is still there.. IMO, pay more the first time for a better machine instead of regretting it after the fact. Get a GC3 or Uneekor machine and never worry about accuracy or shot delay

[@LetsPlayThru]

Major changes are the improved accuracy, club face / path data, and outdoor resiliency. It’s a pretty big leap in price between this for 3k and a GC3 for 7k. So this fits well for a lot of budgets.

[@jwheels9876]

@@LetsPlayThru I probably should have said the Bushnell version for the same price but they get you on yearly subs as well. i started with skytrak went to GC2 and settled in with Uneekor QED the last few years. The original skytrak could drive you crazy with no reads, mis-reads and the shot delay if you had used a machine with instant feedback. Hopefully this one fares better with some of those issues. I enjoy your content, especially the on course stuff, keep up the great work.
