Personal launch monitors provide cost-friendly (relatively speaking) indoor golf simulator setups and are competing with state-of-the-art launch monitors.

SkyTrak is one of the leaders in the personal launch monitor market. So the question we want to address is: For $3,000, is SkyTrak+ worth it? We headed to the MGS Lab to put it to the test.

SkyTrak+ versus Foresight GCQuad

From an “at-home” golf perspective, SkyTrak+ offers tremendous upside. It is your 24/7 accessible practice range. Who doesn’t like that?

If our 2023 personal launch monitor test taught us anything, it’s that not all personal launch monitors are the same. Yes, there are similarities and the performance gap between consumer-grade and enterprise class is narrowing, but weaknesses remain.

How does the SkytTrak+ compare to a Foresight GCQuad head-to-head with data? We know Foresight GCQuad is the gold standard for indoor testing. That’s why we use it.

Arrcos offers a golf shot tracking device that records every shot for all golfers using their stroke recording system.

Longer drivers have an obvious advantage as they are always hitting shorter approach shots but they also hit some errant shots which are further into no-man’s land. The key here is to slow the handle of the club and let the whipping action, of the clubhead, speed up for to deliver more power and distance.

Comparison of 5 Handicap and 13 Handicap Averages

1/ Focus on better Ball Striking: Optimize your drives by keeping more of them in the fairway to give yourself a better chance to hit the green in regulation.

2/ Your second shot makes all the difference: The approach into the greens is where the biggest gain in strokes is made. The 5 index golfer hits 17% more greens in Regulation. Focus on hitting the center of the green and distance control will follow.

Almost every golf shot you hit throughout a round could be different from the last. A different lie, a random gust of wind, in the thick stuff, in the fairway—we could go on and on. While it would be a delight to have a club for every one of these unique situations, there are limitations.

How Many Clubs Can You Carry?

In order to even the playing field, the USGA has stepped in and capped the number of clubs you can carry at 14. This is outlined in Rule 4 of the 2023 USGA Rules of Golf, titled “The Player’s Equipment.” The rulebook states: 

You must not start a round with more than 14 clubs or have more than 14 clubs during the round. 

If you start a round with fewer than 14 clubs, you may add clubs during the round up to the 14-club limit.

When you become aware that you are in breach of this Rule by having more than 14 clubs, you must immediately take the excess club or clubs out of play, using the procedure in Rule 4.1c.
