Look at that gotcha is the new sky track plus worth the $33,000 price tag I’m going to put it to the test so that you can decide whether or not your money is well spent with that bad dog you right there here are the categories we’re going to consider to determine whether or
Not you should spend $3,000 on that thing one how easy is it to set up and use communication with your software all that good stuff overhead projector is it easy or is it a pain in the neck two how accurate is this thing is it giving you realistic numbers we’re going compare it
To trackman just to see how close it is with like a $25,000 system number three features and benefits like what kind of things can you do with sky track that makes it more fun or more usable and finally and maybe most importantly is will it help you get
Better voila all right sky track is hooked up via Wi-Fi to my home wifi router setup my Wi-Fi and that is communicating with my PC gaming system it’s a G kind of a gaming computer for I use it for trackman and everything else so syncs right up to that thing the
Software you just open it up log in you’re good to go it’s all connected to my overhead projector straight to my screen so this is my indoor Studio it uh was virtually kind of idiot proof in terms of sinking everything up you got to log in but so if you’re technical you’re
Going to even have an easier time than me has an app for your Apple phone whatever app you need phone whatever it hooks up to that so you can look on your iPad or your phone done that a million times super easy as well I’ve also used a number of other systems
So I’d say for ease of use this scores like a 95 out of 10 now let’s jump to the accuracy portion of the testing phase we’re going to hit some wedges 54 degree wedge we’ll hit seven iron and driver and compare Sky trck syn it up to
Trackman and we’ll see if this sky trck is with in the realm the parameters of acceptability compared to trackman here we go 54° wedge love the display looks fantastic love the ball flight here we go 98 carry 103 and we got 96 carry on trackman spin
Rate is going to be critical I want accurate spin rate if I’m spending three grand these days Sky track’s giving me 9,097 Spin and trackman with the wedge is giving me 9489 to be honest I’m not as critical with spin rate numbers with the wedges I want to know driver because
When I’m selecting or working on my drives I want to know am I spinning it too much so that’s really where it’s most critical but nonetheless one more wedge I love the carry distance everything was pretty spot on or really close decent shot from myself we’ve got
A 99 total so Sky track’s giving me 94 carry 101 total 9400 Spin and ball speed is 79 mph let’s see what trackman says we are at so it’s pretty close it’s really close here with the wedge on both sky track and and trackman spin again is
400 off so we’re getting 400 more with trackman and we are using the RCT ball so it’s got a little uh thing inside there for easy readability here we go let’s hit a seven iron and see how the accuracy is between the two here we go 152 carry on Sky trck 160
Three total and a 5900 spin okay I’m I’m happy even with the shot shape little baby draw I love that okay trackman’s got me 151 carry 160 total 6 thou so we’re only like a 100 less than 100 off on the spin rate that’s really good same basic ball
Flight Sky trk you know if you just align it just slightly different it’ll give you a slightly different ball flight so we’re really close and I love that ball speed is like 1 mile hour difference so as we go higher up in the clubs we’re getting closer in terms of
Accuracy now we are hitting our driver we use one of these little birdie teas pop it up and this is where a lot of Home simulators kind of in this price point could start losing you know accuracy but we will see here we go that’s not bad that felt pretty
Good okay Club speed 103 little baby fade I love it 149 ball speed on sky track 242 267 2800 spin a cut shot fade would produce a little more Spin and a draw let’s see what trackman has to say about this all right this has 100 miles hour
Hour Club speed I like sky track better already 148 ball speed so 14 like within a mile of an an hour ball flight is virtually the same 2900 spin rate we’re within like a 100 Revolutions a minute in terms of spin rate 240 carry 265 it’s virtually the same so accuracy wise with
Every Club the longer we go the more accurate sky track becomes which seems like it would be harder to do since the ball’s traveling faster you think you start losing it a little more but as we go higher really it’s just a little bit not the same so accuracy wise the
Scoring there I’m going to give sky trck like a 9.2 on the accuracy scale because as we go and driver I want to know am I slicing this thing in someone’s backyard or am I hitting Fairways the rest I could kind of figure out for myself but with the long
Clubs that’s where out of bounds comes the most which we want to avoid now when it comes to features and benefits of Sky trck you can use the E6 app and other programs to get gameplay and things like that so that’s all going to be additional cost too you can buy
Different courses and things like that so that’s kind of standard across the board with all of these price point LUN monitors so that’s really good so features and benefits I’d say sky track’s going to be as good as everybody else I don’t necessarily say I would
Give an edge to sky trck or someone else or in that field that they all have all kinds of different things you can add on to it so there I’m going to just say 85 Sky trck features and benefits what’s really important to me is can I get
Better will it help your game or is this just a nice thing to have to have fun with your friends and family so one of the cool things that sky track has is this skill assessment this is where I think the majority of time should be
Spent if you want to improve your game are on things like this here we’re going to test and it will evaluate how good you are and gives you scores based on how good you are at numbers so this is the 60 yard test and that’s a miss so when you’re practicing
Indoors it’s going to be critical to understand how far back do I take my club with a particular Club to hit the distance I’m looking for there we go we got a hit so that’s my shot right there if all we do is play courses we really are not going to
Improve we’ll have fun though that’ll be a good time but we’re not going to get any better and I’m okay with you not getting better if you don’t want to get better but a lot of people wonder why they don’t improve even though they play golf even on the golf course every
Single day yet they’re still a 15 handicap the reason they don’t get better is because they don’t work on the skill shot if you want to get better you got to start hitting the ball closer to the hole you got to start hitting the green when you’re 70 80 90 100 120 yards
From the green you cannot miss greens that will help you improve the most the fastest so doing things like this will ultimately and dramatically improve your overall game when you go out on the golf course and play will this help you get better yes it will if you do the right things with
It so for improving your game I’m going to give sky track like a 9.1 for improving your game so should you purchase sky track plus the original sky trck is like $1,500 so if you just want to hang out and have fun friends family and play games with your kids or
Whatever sky track one is probably a better option if you want the more accurate dual Doppler radar system of sky track plus then I would say yes it is worth the added price and it’s now double the original currently so 3,000 basically for this bad boy
So I love it it’s a phenomenal home setup type of situation the only negative here is that if you have a left-handed player and right-handed players in the same household you’re GNA have to move it to the other side it’s not that big a deal you can see I’ve

Do you love flowers?😛
FYI that is a laser, it can damage camera sensors.
Just picked one of these up for my home sim, it is a great launch monitor
For Inside use it is one of the best Simulator you can get for Average Home User. Brother has older Model and it has help both our games.
Nice job on review.
The humor in this video is spot-on! Laughed from start to finish. Comedy gold delivered with impeccable timing.👄
PhiGolf2 simulator is more my price range,lol. Can you do a full review?
I think we need a Mevo plus limited comparison!! Maybe the Bushnell, also.
I have the Skytrak+. A huge upgrade from using the Garmin R10. My only complaint is it always boots me off from network mode. Maybe 5-10 mins into a session it gets me off network mode. I did everything that Skytrak customer service suggested and it still doesn’t work. When I switch to Direct Mode, I have no issues other than I cannot use mirror mode to pair with my TV. I’m sure they’ll work out the bugs. It’s very minor and I’d still roll with this until even with the minor hiccups. Great video Matt!🏌🏽
OG skytrak owner. The only good thing the plus did is make the OG ~$1k used. An extra 2k for club head speed isnt worth it. I usually recommend to my friends who ask about cost to start cheap and then go all in once you determine the upgrades that are important to you. I still wish Uneekor had their whole lineup when I got started years ago.
I have the Skytrak+ and I did it for the club data. My golf pro uses Trakman. I’ve discovered that club data is off, especially swing path. Did you see a big difference?
I thought about Bushnell but I don’t like the $500 per year requirement or the stickers on clubs
Club face, club path, or any other data available?? I find these very important when grinding to get better.
If you’re using it outside you need a shady spot, it struggles in the sun. I needed to swap to BLP because I don’t have indoor ceiling height.
You’re a fool if you spend 3k for a skytrak instead of a Bushnell Launch Pro. Yes you need to add the subscription but it’s worth the little bit extra. Used BLPs are 2.5k easy
I have the Skytrak+ and my main complaints are it really struggles to pickup shots when you open the face with anything greater than 55 degrees. I'll hit my SW 5 times with an opened face and none of them will get picked up until I just hit it normally and then it has a better chance of being picked up. Also, it struggles with ball position sometimes. If I have the ball way up in front of my stance for a chip, it will sometimes not be able to read it. Not sure if it's my shoe color or what. And lastly, the unit doesn't give the Angle of Attack metric. This would be super useful, especially with driver. I've heard it collects the metric but the Skytrak app doesn't reveal it. I hope they can reveal it soon. Lastly, it seems to have some network issues from time to time. My network is stable for every device I own but sometimes the Skytrak+ just loses connectivity and can't regain it without a restart.
So overall pretty good but for the money I'd expect the software to be a bit better. It feels janky at times. But when it's working right (and usually is) it's excellent. It just drops certain shots more often than it should and has connectivity issues at times.
Looks pretty good, but I fail to see how it is $2300 better than Rapsodo MLM2pro.
Good review. Love your new hitting mat,Matt
You must realize your talking to a small group of people at that price point. Plus you need an indoor facility.
I took 16 strokes and off my game in 16 months, with a Garmin
At my level of play would
A more expensive launch monitor have helped more? Maybe but I have it optimized and reads very true and good enough for me.
Results were great for me. Update someday, maybe.
Spend the extra 500 on a blp. Trust me I have them both.
Great review, Keep up the good work!
I don't think Trackman is the best indoor unit. I wouldn't count it's numbers as the absolute "correct" numbers.
NO!!!😂
Dude! You forgot to show CLUB PATH! Great new feature !!!! 😮
How does the dual Doppler work from the headon view like that? I thought Doppler field was best served from a down the line position to track the ball? Or maybe the doppler field instrument is on the side of the unit and is down the line in that setup, but is offset (but corrected with the optical measurements)? I don't have clue what I'm typing. Just freestyling!!! 😂
A main feature of the skytrak+ vs the OG are the clubface and path data points. Can you do a comparison of those to the trackman?
Great video, Matt. I’ve been considering Skytack v the Bushnell Launch Pro.
