   Was looking forward to seeing this however the two units clearly interfering with each other 😩 I think Il go with square just on speed of the shots showing and how good it already is, with the potential to get better with updates. I hope they change the range though it looks shit and needs a centerline with a metric for offline 👌

   Fair comparison as they're both budget photometric launch monitors! While the Skytrak is from 2014 it still holds its own, but there's just too many downsides to recommend it today. Spin and shot shape discrepancies aside, there are many quality of life issues. Newer technology and cheaper, square is difficult to beat as the new budget king.

   Do you use the Skytrak alignment where it displays 2 dots to align it. Must be interference MyGolfSpy the folks that test everything golf published this

   Which ball are you using ? I think this video confirms that Square golf just killed the MLM2 . Rapsodo just are taking way to long to do any thing . Square took 2 months to get GSpro integration . Its been 2 years with the MLM2 and still nothing . I don't care for videos of my swing or taking it to the range . I just want to play GSpro and the unit seems to be accurate . I can only imagine how much better they will get . I got 6 months left in my MLM2 subscription and then its hello Square !! Keep doing these updates . I used to watch you long ago and have only rediscovered you again . What is this new space you have ? Is it in your home ? Looks great like Harry Shaws place .

   I don't think the skytrack cameras are perfectly square to the box…. I find I have to situate my skytrack, a degree or two off kilter, sometimes to get center.

   I did the same as I wanted to start now with my iPad, even if I have to hit into a net. I was dead set on getting the Garmin R10, then The Skytrak+ due to the room. After seeing mixed reviews on the Skytrak+, I decided the Eye Mini Lite would be better as I wanted to play sim golf with chipping and putting.

   Then the Square came out and decisions. I saw the ST+ for $1,600 and grabbed it, a demo unit. Because of the iPad capability I bought a Square too, as it’s no subscriptions.

   My 1st comparison, the ST+ disconnected at least 1/2 a dozen times in direct mode. The Square read instantly, the numbers were similar enough, the the ST+ struggled with chips and putts. I boxed it up and sent it back.

   Get the Square, at 2-4 times the cost, the Skytrak+ wasn’t as good as the Square. I practice at least 25 putts with my Square every time I take it out. The Square is cheaper and better in my opinion.

   If it turns out bad, or has issues down the line, I would get a Bushnell Launch Pro.

    Just because the sky track is straight in the sim they had massive issues with alignment. I remember when I had mine years ago I had to have it slightly aiming to the right for it be a straight shot

    I love my OG skytrak although it has a draw bias for sure. The need for dotted balls put me off the Square. The Garmin R50 looks accurate but has lots of features I won't use as I'm currently GSPro user. So, I'm waiting on the PGA show in Jan 2025 to find out whether there is anything newer and better coming in the next year that is worth waiting/waving for.

    i have skytrak but i would definetly recommend SquareGolf.. its just miles way better than skytrak and no pay needed to get all data. all in all squaregolf its the future of launch monitors i can bet on it (budget) and it competes even with 7k LaunchMonitors.

    Some of your alignment issues appear to be caused your camera offset in the skytrak software. You appear to be hitting from a slightly right of center position with the units set parallel to the booth, meaning your target line needs to be further right to be parallel with your hitting position. Every time you hit the ball at the line, the unit sees it as going left because you are hitting left of the parallel line.

    What about the opityshot novo. Can you review that please looks good for £1750

    @smokinjaws3310 8 months ago

    Not sure why you didn’t just aim the sky track a bit left. That’s what you’re supposed to do.

    I have both of them. So I already got the comparison test before. In exactly the same way. The result was very similar to your result. And I found out the club markers(reflective stickers) interrupt and obstruct ball detection of Skytrak. So now I am using Square Golf only. To use skytrak, I have to remove those silver stickers from my club. I don't know which data is better. But SqG. is more convenient. The Driving range of Skytrak is much better than one of Square G. But I am using GSPro now.

    Been enjoying the content, I’m currently building my setup and was originally thinking mevo+ but the square is starting to sway me a little. Keep up the great content.
