  • Asking again. Any regrets either getting the Quad or upgrading from GC2/HMT to Quad?

    I'm back revisiting getting a Quad as I've done at least a couple times every year since it came out in 2017.
    Lets face it. Some of us are very fortunate to have the money to purchase such an expensive piece of kit.
    For some it's just not that much, for others it's a huge purchase/commitment toward your golf game. I'm somewhere in between. And I hope to use it enough to get the most out of it to improve my game and just to be able to put in practice/sim play at home when you just can't get away for a 4 to 5 hour round or the weather is not ideal for golf.
    Already have the GC2/HMT but moving it around to two different locations at home can get a bit cumbersome. And I also don't take it to the range/course because of the slightly awkward package.
    So hoping some additional input/feedback will help make a decision this time around on the Quad.

    Are we expecting anything new to come out and compete with Foresight? Do we think they will ever add the missing club data to the GC3?
    Any input/thoughts are appreciated.

    Thanks all.

    I've had one for 3 years, glad I have it, never felt it wasn't worth the cost. I'm a bit anal so I love all the data (not that I can correct it sometimes!) I wouldn't wait for them to add club data for the GC3, I'm guessing they will offer something in between the Quad & the GC3.

      I have had mine for a little over a year. It's great. There is a reason you see them lined up and down the range at all PGA tour events. It is a big investment, but you get what you pay for. There are plenty of other more reasonable options out there, that are more than adequate, if your budget does not permit about $18k (with club data). Many people on here complain about the lack of software options. I think FSX 2020 is great. I will likely upgrade to Play in the future.

        I was in the same boat as I had the gc2/hmt combo and it worked great and I always kept it at home. That being said I was interested in the portability of the gc3..but I wanted all the data of the quad so I was torn.

        I ended up selling the gc2/hmt and got the quad with just ball data new for 9750.00 since I already owned fsx2020. By the way a gc3 could be had for 4500.00 and a couple people got them for 3900 a month before on a 3 day sale from what I heard in discord..
        I didn’t get club data yet because I’m hoping for a good sale since they’ve offered it at 50% off a couple times last year…fingers crossed it comes up soon but I still have 30 days of the demo period with club and putting data.

        I absolutely enjoy the quad and playing around with the putting data I’ll get that too if it’s 1,000.00 again. I’ve already taken the quad to the course/range with me as I never did with the gc2. The larger hitting area, alignment stick and newer tech has won me over to be honest.
        The sales rep has already offered club data at 25% off but like I said I’m holding out for 2000-2500.00 range.

          FSX 2020 is a great program. FSX Play, not so much but getting better. That being said, no regrets buying the Quad. It is a great machine.

            Gc2/hmt to quad isn't necessary. With that said I have zero regrets and would do it again.

              My thoughts exactly. Although I think I would’ve even be content with GC3 since I rarely use 4-dot data.

                I went from GC2/HMT to GC3. No regrets. If at some time they offer up a little more data, great. If not, still happy.

                  Super happy with the Quad. And I use the data more often than I thought I would. I would (and have) strongly recommend it. That said, if the data is not going to be used - the GC3 seems cost effective.

                    Thanks to all for your input. Decisions, decisions.
                    I think if you're going from GC2 (no HMT) to GC3, or if GC3 is your first launch monitor, you won't miss the extra club data as much. But when you're used to seeing strike location, face to path, and dynamic loft-lie all in one place, paying $7K+ for GC3 to get less data is a tougher pill to swallow. Especially if your unit will stay in one place. But I do see the appeal of the GC3 compared to the cost of the Quad.
