Perfect timing on this video! I have the opportunity to upgrade from my R10 and buy a used Skytrak and I know you are an expert on the unit. This video along with your prior reviews solidified my decision to make the deal. Thanks Mitch!
Enjoy mate! 🙌🏼⛳️
Love the review of the OG ST. Got mine during covid and it's one of the biggest factors to reducing my handicap down. I was shooting in the high 90s and in one season, I got it dropped to single. And now I'm playing around a 4-5 hdcp. Time to start practicing short game this season more than the range. Also trying to improve my swing speed with The Stack System so I can use my shorter irons more often to get GIR
Best of luck mate! 🙌🏼⛳️
Excellent content again. Really enjoy watching these. In the future I will get one. That’s the dream.
Thanks mate 🙌🏼⛳️
Just finished my garage setup and your videos helped me decide on the OG skytrak with gspro. Picked up a used skytrak on ebay which has been perfect for my needs and I’m loving it so far.
Brilliant! Enjoy your setup 🙌🏼⛳️
how has skytrak paired with gspro been?
I too bought my original Skytrak in 2020. Still works. I still use it often. No problems.
🙌🏼⛳️
Great advice there Mitch. Another really helpful video. I’m using Skytrak 1 & love it, re misreads, I rarely get one. What I can say is if I move my club in front of the ball the red lazer stop for a second or 2 & if you then hit the ball in that time, it will not read it, so look out for that. Also careful with the colour of your tee. Stick to black.
Skytrak 2 is lacking angle of attach, so a no-go upgrade imo. Love you man 😉
Top man thanks Dave 🙌🏼⛳️
I'm a weekend golfer and was saving up for the MLM2 Pro. But after seeing this review I think I'll do a little more saving and get the original Skytrak. I just like the interface better. I'm 59 with a 20+ handicap but I believe with something like the Skytrak that I can use in the privacy of my own home I could possibly shave a few points off my handicap going into my retirement years. Thanks for the in depth review.
I would definitely recommend SkyTrak to help improve your game 👍🏼⛳️
Looks like SkyTrak has them form $995 right now. And it worth the $300 Difference. MLM2 PRO is a paper weight without Subscription. SkyTrak you still get Driving Range regardless is you have Subscription.
You can get for $995 to include the protective case @@davidcole2337
Just bought OG skytrak new. It's great. Seems accurate and rarely misreads
Amazing! Enjoy 🙌🏼⛳️
OG skytrak just dropped again! Got mine new for $949 from 2nd swing golf for my back yard deck driving range. Very happy with this set up.
yes its just dropped another £100 here too!
damn you're my hero, just got one for $650! never knew about that site!
@@iannaccmcan you share more. How is your setup?
Has it gave you any issues using it outdoors? I plan on doing the same thing
Just picked an OG for £500 on eBay. After a few weeks of testing and getting used to swinging indoors, I can confirm the data is bang on - it matches the data I’ve been getting on Toptracer driving range. I’m lucky to have very few no-reads and I’m starting to dial in where the ball needs to be for putts - although I have to halve the distance from GSPro😕
£500 is a great deal! Enjoy 🙌🏼⛳️
I got the skytrack plus and i would say the original is still worth it. The extra club data is all the plus really does and its way of. Skytrak once told me to turn the club data off to stop looking at it. This pretty much just made it a original skytrak
I have had the SkyTrak in my SIM for a few years now. I have the Carl's golf hitting bay. The Sig Pro Softy stance mat and hitting strip. An LED focused on the hitting area. I have about 1 in every 25 regular shots not register. Usually being with a longer high speed club. About 1 in 3 of the high loft flop type shot either not reading at all or extremely inaccurate reading. Sometimes it will read something that has you totally miffed like a 6 iron with 12k back spin and 100 side spin. If I had to do over again I would have waited and saved to get and overhead system.
Nice info there mate it might help someone reading this out a lot, thanks!
Yes mitch lad this is class proud of you mate
Haha legend nice one mate 🙌🏼❤️
Bought mine in October and have about 3-4 months of daily sim golf under my belt. If you’re not looking for club data this unit is incredible and I couldn’t recommend it enough.
With that being said I just preordered the new eye mini lite. I really want the club data and uneekors impact videos are amazing but I think for 800-900 bucks the OG skytrak is a great starter unit
The Eye Mini Lite looks like a great option if you don't need portability! ⛳️
Hi Mitch, I think I have a similar setup in my small 1930's garage with an OG skytrak and GSPro. I have been using skytrak range and skills practice of late but now want to get back into GSPro. I tried the GSPro range and operation 36 level 5 and noticed my shots usually seem shorter with more spin or curvature in GSPro than skytrak. Skytrak level has me at zero for tilt and roll, GSPro connector had me around 0.25 for each. Could this be a factor? I was only swinging irons as my garage is small.
Thanks, love your reviews
My OG SkyTrak is still working great.
Mine too 🙌🏼⛳️
I have the original sky trak, still love it
Same!
Why dose the hight on ur device say 5yards mine gives me low hight readings too when I know on coarse mine go really high ?
still have my OG Skytrak. It just keeps on going... I'm not sure I would get a Skytrak Plus. Would get the Eye Mini Lite when it comes out.
Ye I think I’d look into a GC3 here in the UK for an upgrade. I’d love to try the Eye Mini though to see how it is ⛳️
I have had the OG SkyTrak since 2017. I use it outdoors with a large netted cage/net return and iPad. It still works well, even outdoors. Since there is always more money you can spend on golf, I started exploring if I should upgrade to the SkyTrak+. While I like the additional data, I'm hard-pressed to justify switching at this stage. If I was buying a launch monitor without already having one, I probably would go with the SkyTrak+. Has anyone made the switch and seen the value?
This is likely the same approach I would take. If I had the budget then I’d go for ST+ because of the extra data points it provides, but if I only had enough budget to get an original SkyTrak I’d say just go for it as you won’t be disappointed 👍🏼⛳️
Just picked up one on EBay for $800. Well worth it
Happy days! Enjoy ⛳️
I like my OG Skytrak but will most likely replace it this year for a Eye Mini Lite this year just for the additional data points.
I need to look into the Eye Mini lite ⛳️
Hello, great video. Can I use a SkyTrak outside to the same effect?
Yes you can. I used mine for a good 6 months outdoors before moving indoors. Some people say it doesnt work as well in direct sunlight, but I never had any issues
GC3 5hc currently. For me its having the data to practice with. In a lesson i work on path a lot and without the data its hard to work on
I think GC3 may be my next upgrade one day 🙌🏼
Best thing i did
Good video. I am looking in ti getting one of these. One thing i cant find out on line is if you can use foam balls?
You can but you won’t get accurate data. And the SkyTrak probably won’t read the foam balls every time (you’ll get plenty of shots that aren’t picked up by the launch monitor)
@@hcpgolf thanks
I have a problem. The red laser does not appear whenever I am using the TGC. It works when I am just using Skytrak practice range.
Whats the ceiling height of your room it looks quite small? Also do you think 2.8M height will be enough for swinging a driver, im 6ft 2 and do have high hands at top of back swing? Under UK permitted development i can go 3m building height hence the question, thanks.
My room is only 2.4m high so I can only swing up to a 6 iron. If you can go to 3m without the need for planning permission then I would definitely recommend doing that. 2.8 you might be ok but until you swing your driver in there you won’t know for sure 👍🏼⛳️
I’ve got the Uneekor Mini Mitch in Manchester, great bit of kit though 4.5k 🙄
Where did you get it from? Wouldn’t mind testing one out! ⛳️
I am a newer golfer, and have a pretty bad deflecting slice with my swings... Would the skytrak accurately show this to me? I want to buy a LM but want something that will be accurate so I know when i'm slicing and improving.
Yes 👍🏼⛳️
Just started golf and i got a second hand skytrak for 500$ and a bigger version of net return like net for 300$ shipped
Bargain 🙌🏼
Important to note if your gonna buy one the skytrak and skytrak + are compatible with gs pro however they are not supported by gs pro so you'll rely heavily on the legends in the discord to act as tech support I also reached out to skytrak to ask if there will ever be a collaboration and qas told they have no intention of it at the time of writing
Does the ST+ work fully with GSPro now? I mean can you do putting as well? ⛳️
@hcpgolf not too sure about the putting but I know there still not offical partners so whoever created the software that allows skytrak play ers to play gs pro is all the supports there is that's why i didn't upgrade to the plus but if I knew that before I bought 1 I would of bought one of the office lm that gs pro supports
Skytrak software and ease of use is excellent. Fsx is good as the data is very accurate but the software isnt the easiest to use. Take a while to figure out what everything does
Do you mainly use FSX for practice or do you use something else (e.g. GSPro/Awesome Golf)? ⛳️
Fsx mainly
Hello, do you need to pay annual fee from Skytrak to play GSPro?
No, all you need is SkyTrak’s free basic package 👍🏼⛳️
@@hcpgolf Best new ever hahaha Thank you so much!
At this moment does anyone know if you have to have the essentials plan to us gspro or just basic free plan
Basic free plan is all you need 👍🏼
@@hcpgolf appreciate you a ton man!
Looking at the mlm2pro. I have plenty of room and it’ll be my first simulator so I want to save on cost.
Have you done a review of the mlm2??
Not yet but I will be doing in a few weeks 👍🏼⛳️
i just bought the skytrak and ive been having issues with distance i cant seem to get realistic carry numbers i can barely get an 8i 120 and my 5w which is a money 200 cant break 160 ive looked at discord threads but cant seem to figure out the issue any idea what you think it could be? people say indor swing syndrome but ive been hitting balls in here for 3 months and feel very confident that somethings off
Have you got the SkyTrak at the same height as your hitting mat and aligned correctly?
@@hcpgolf yea i have everything level and straight ive tried it a few different ways to see if anything changed it. i was actually able to get it to reset finally and have been getting much better readings i also messed with the altitude i saw alot of people say that the altitude can affect the ball distance so now im about 10 yards ish off from my normal distances so i feel like its working much better.
Good 👍🏼🙌🏼
1 in 15 no reads is miles away from my experience. I’d guess maybe 1 in 300 in my case. I’ll go 6 or 7 rounds easily without a single one.
That’s great 🙌🏼⛳️
What’s the ongoing skytrack subscription cost for skytrack to work with GSpro?
Nothing - you don’t need a SkyTrak subscription to access GSPro
@@hcpgolfso buy the hardware then pay nothing ongoing is that ongoing cost only for the skytrack+? That starts to make it seem attractive
Want size room is that? 10x10?
2.4m high x 2.4m wide 👍🏼⛳️
@@hcpgolf I’m in the United States, so in feet, I believe that’s just under 10x10 in feet if 10 feet 🟰 3.048m
Thank you
No it’s only bout 8x8ft, slightly less
How wide is that room mate?
2.5m 👍🏼⛳️
Wow is that all, mega….
So are you more to the right hand side of the room when you swing or ?!?
I’m thinking of one myself. I have a 3m wide space, I didn’t think that would be wide enough.
Yes I am more to the right hand side. You should be fine with 3m width - but you’ll be more to the right as well but it shouldn’t be a problem 👍🏼⛳️
@@hcpgolf top man, thanks. 🏌️♂️
Just got one. Not even close to accurate or consistent. Went to a range that also has a trackman to track the same shot. TM says my drives were 270. ST anywhere from 210 -235 for the same shot. It was reasonable for irons up to 4 then diverged wildy . Says i hit my 4 170 when i hit my 5 180, and the trackman said 200plus. I did a reset and it didnt do much. It read about 1 in 5 or so the same as the trackman for long irons and woods. Such a disappointment. Its just flat out not that good
Do you have it at the same level as ball/hitting mat?
@@hcpgolf yes
Have you got high ball speed? I’ve heard it doesn’t perform great with high speed driver shots etc
What do you think
