We take a look at the Skytrak Launch Monitor, and answer basic questions that our customers have. We feel Skytrak is the best mid-range launch monitor for Home Golf Simulators due to its low space requirements, short game/putting capability, and overall accuracy.

1. What is Skytrak?

A SkyTrak Golf Simulator is a device that uses a high-speed camera and advanced software to accurately track and measure the flight of a golf ball when hit with a club. The data is then used to provide real-time feedback on the shot, including ball speed, launch angle, spin rate, and distance. This information can be used by golfers to improve their swing and get a better understanding of how their shots will behave on the course. Some SkyTrak Golf Simulator can connect to a screen, projector or TV and provide a virtual golf course to play, providing a immersive and realistic golf experience

2. How does Skytrak work?

A SkyTrak launch monitor uses photometric technology to track and measure the flight of a golf ball after it is hit. It has a camera that is pointed at the ball and uses the images captured to track the ball's flight and determine its trajectory, speed, spin, and landing location. This information is then transmitted to a computer or mobile device via a wireless connection, where it can be analyzed and used to improve a golfer's performance. The device typically can be set up in backyard, driving range and indoor. It works by projecting a laser light pattern on the ball at the point of impact and using the camera to track the movement of the ball in relation to the laser pattern.

3. What are the space requirements?

The space requirements for a SkyTrak launch monitor will vary depending on the specific setup you are using and the type of shots you plan on hitting. One of the best Skytrak features is that it doesn't need any space requirements between the ball and screen, or behind the ball much like doppler radar LM's like Garmin R10, Mevo+ etc

In general, however, the following space requirements should be considered:

A hitting area: The hitting area should be large enough to accommodate a full swing and have a clear line of sight from the launch monitor's camera to the ball. A landing area: The landing area should be large enough for the ball to land and roll out without hitting any obstacles.

Room for a setup, at least 2.5mhigh and 3m wide.

Additionally, it's important to ensure that the launch monitor's camera has a clear line of sight to the ball and that the area is well-lit. If you plan on hitting shots indoors, make sure that the hitting area has enough space and the lights are bright enough to avoid shadows on the ball or hitting surface.

It's good to keep in mind, If you're using the SkyTrak launch monitor in a residential setting or indoor, you'll want to be mindful of the space constraints and make sure you're not hitting into any walls, furniture or any other objects that may be damaged by a golf ball.

4. What software can I use?

SkyTrak is a personal launch monitor that is compatible with a variety of golf simulation software. Some of the software options that are known to work with SkyTrak include TGC 2019 and E6 connect. Some people chose to use other
