The Trackman 4 is the dual-radar launch monitor that has been the tour and fitting standard since 2016. Two synchronized Doppler radars plus a camera measure the complete ball flight outdoors - spin, carry, apex and descent are measured, not modeled - along with full club-delivery data including impact location, on any ball with no stickers. Trackman publishes no list price: the recorded street price is $25,495, it is bought through dealer and quote channels, and simulation requires Trackman's own software at a dealer-stated $1,100 a year. There is no official GSPro support. Its 40 advertised parameters cover indoor and outdoor use on the same unit.
