SkyTrak+

At $1,195, the SkyTrak+ sells today for less than half its $2,995 list price, because it is on final closeout: the record marks it superseded by the SkyTrak ST MAX, with remaining stock selling down. That closeout status is the whole frame for this review - the aggregated coverage says the measurement holds up brilliantly, while the software walls around it are exactly where a buyer needs to look first.

GolfSimCompare has not performed hands-on testing of this device. This review aggregates the cited professional coverage, the manufacturer’s published specifications, and owner feedback from the linked communities. Every observation below is attributed to its source, and the category scores are an editorial aggregate of that cited coverage, not GolfSimCompare measurements.

Accuracy: 8.5/10

Breaking Eighty’s review, updated August 2026, ran the SkyTrak+ against a Trackman reference and reported clubhead speed, carry and spin “all right in line” across gap wedge, 7-iron and driver - while flagging that side carry roughly doubled the Trackman’s numbers, a useful picture of both the strength and the edge of sim-grade accuracy. The same review scores it 9.2/10 overall and calls it a steal at closeout pricing.

The mechanism per the record: dual Doppler radar fused with a photometric camera, measuring ball speed, launch angle, launch direction, spin rate and spin axis optically on any ball - no marked-ball consumables - plus measured club speed, club path and face angle. Attack angle and impact location are not reported. The recorded accuracy tier is sim-grade: dependable for simulation and practice, a step below the tour-grade photometric class.

Sim Experience: 6.5/10

This is the score that needs the most honesty. The record is explicit: GSPro and E6 Connect support was dropped for new customers in 2025-26 - existing SkyTrak+ owners keep their connections, per Breaking Eighty - and GSPro’s current supported-hardware list carries no SkyTrak model. The TGC 2019 retail listing states outright that it is not compatible with SkyTrak or SkyTrak+. For a new buyer today, simulation means SkyTrak’s first-party world: Course Play arrived in the 5.0 update in mid-2024, with licensed Foresight and Trackman course packs added in 2025.

That world is subscription-shaped. Per SkyTrak’s membership pages: a free Basic tier covers the driving range with full ball and club data; Essential runs $99.99 per year for the game-improvement suites; the Core tiers at $299.99 (Foresight pack, 49 courses) and $349.99 (Trackman pack, 51 courses) add course play; and Elite at $599.99 per year unlocks all 95+ premium courses.

Ease of Use and App

Camera-side placement keeps the footprint small - the record notes it works in rooms roughly 8-9 ft deep where radar units cannot - and iOS, Android and Windows apps are recorded, with the Mac situation disputed between SkyTrak’s FAQ and reviewers. The recorded quirks: a single USB-C port means charging or a wired PC connection, not both at once, and wifi handles the rest.

Value at $1,195

$1,195 is the verified closeout price, and the record’s cost table shows why the subscription question decides everything: the first-year cost with Elite is $1,794.99, and the three-year cost is $2,994.97 - at which point the software ladder, not the hardware, is 60.1% of what you have spent. Stick to the free range tier or Essential and the math stays excellent; commit to Elite and you have effectively paid list price after all, spread over three years.

Coming From an Original SkyTrak - or Eyeing the ST MAX

For original-SkyTrak owners, the record frames the SkyTrak+ as the same software world with substantially better hardware - but not a mandatory upgrade if the original still serves your practice needs, especially with the ST MAX now the supported flagship. For new money, the honest cross-reference: the ST MAX is the current model with the same membership ladder, and the SkyTrak+ discount is the payment you receive for accepting a feature-frozen, superseded device. Both routes live or die on being comfortable inside SkyTrak’s own software.

Who Should Buy the SkyTrak+

Bargain-focused practice golfers and sim builders who want measured spin on any ball at a verified closeout price, and who are content with SkyTrak’s first-party courses or the free range.

Who Should Skip It

Anyone whose plan involves GSPro or E6 Connect - that door is closed for new buyers, per the record - and buyers uncomfortable owning a superseded model whose long-term software support is a bet rather than a promise.
