SkyTrak Launch Monitor

[Maverick]

I saw that too. It's not for sale yet but there are other testers besides bubba22 and me. I don't believe that app is the current version.

Please wait for our review.

SkyTrak will be at Wyndham Championship.

So about 1500? More than I wanted but way better than GC2.

Just did a little bit of detective work.. If you google translate the link below, it says the unit might be available in september for price of 220 000 yen ($ 2155). I don't know if that site can be trusted but decided to post it here anyway.. I hope the pricing would be a little lower.

Not what I wanted to pay but still a bargain compared to GC2. I'm sure we will get a definite answer soon.

Those sites don't look legit to me.

Doesn't look too bad. Do we have any indication on what the software will be? Bubba was saying they will build one in-house? If I read that correctly that could take a while?

I really hope this isn't accurate or I'll have to buy an Optishot. I can't spend anywhere near that much on a Launch monitor because there are so many other costs in building a sim.

Nothing concrete yet if you were referring to PC sim software.

It doesn't jive with what we've been told. If it's a change, it would be unfortunate.

Welcome to the forum Robert.

The X-wing R is looks exactly like the Foresight GC2, which is a great LM. Again, something about that site/business tells me it's bogus.

Z, XSwingGolf is a legite company. They are a big GC2 reseller in China. I have seen them twice in Beijing on the PGA show.

Thanks for setting me straight Dennis.

My friends that work and live in China told me that Golf is exploding in popularity there but it's also seen as a sport for the rich and gluttonous. Many of the political elite in China will play golf under different names to avoid backlash in the media. Golf courses use too much space in a country of 1.2 billion people. I'm surprised the Chinese haven't taken over the golf simulator market already, indoor courses must be popular there and I assume they could mass produce clones at a fraction of the cost like they do with all other technology.
