SkyTrak+ Review
By GolfSimulatorSource Editorial Team | Updated:
Quick Verdict
Note: SkyTrak+ new direct units are no longer available from SkyTrak. The SkyTrak+ CPO (certified preowned) is available direct from SkyTrak at $895 (current sale, MSRP $2,495); PlayBetter lists remaining new stock at $1,195. The successor is the SkyTrak ST MAX ($1,695, End of Summer Sale promo, no stated end date; $2,995 list). The SkyTrak+ at CPO pricing is the strongest E6 Connect option under $2,500 — Foresight's compatibility guidance lists Bushnell Launch Pro on Gold/Unlocked plans plus a separate E6 license for E6 (confirm with Foresight before buying for E6). Hybrid camera+radar gives you ball AND club data without club stickers. The catch: no built-in display (needs iPad/PC), 6-month warranty (vs. BLP's 1 year), connectivity issues for some users, and it's discontinued for the ST MAX.

Who Should Buy the SkyTrak+
E6 Connect users. SkyTrak+ supports E6 Connect directly; a SkyTrak membership is required for third-party software access (tier not stated on the membership page — confirm at skytrakgolf.com). Foresight's compatibility guidance lists Bushnell Launch Pro on Gold/Unlocked plans plus a separate E6 license — confirm with Foresight before buying for E6.
UK and Canada buyers. BLP is US-only. SkyTrak+ works everywhere. For international buyers wanting a camera/hybrid unit, this is the natural choice.
Golfers who switch clubs frequently. No club markers needed — radar handles club data without any stickers. BLP requires metal stickers on every clubhead.
CPO deal seekers. At $895 direct CPO pricing with Essential + GSPro, the 5-year TCO (approx. $2,645) is lower than the ST MAX even at its current $1,695 promo price plus the same subscriptions.
iPad-first users. SkyTrak+ integrates natively with iPad — E6 on iOS, WGT on iOS, SkyTrak app on iOS. No gaming PC needed.

What Owners Say
| Source | Rating |
|---|---|
| Golfstead | 8.7/10 |
| MyGolfSpy Forum | Positive overall |
| Reddit r/golfsimulators | Mixed — accuracy praised, connectivity frustration |
Most Praised
- • Direct E6 Connect integration (active SkyTrak membership required; the E6 subscription itself is paid to TruGolf)
- • No club markers required — radar reads club data with any club instantly
- • Outdoor performance significantly improved over original SkyTrak
- • 5GHz Wi-Fi + Direct Mode (creates device hotspot) — more flexible than BLP
- • Global availability — UK, Canada, international (BLP is US-only)
- • CPO pricing at $895 (direct); PlayBetter's $1,195 new-stock unit is also cheaper than ST MAX at its current $1,695 promo price
Most Criticized
- • No built-in display — requires iPad/PC for ANY shot data (BLP has built-in LCD)
- • Connectivity/reliability issues documented in long-term owner reviews
- • Smaller hitting zone (4.5"×4.5") vs. BLP (7"×10") — more position-sensitive
- • Only 6-month warranty / 25,000 shots (BLP offers 1 year)
- • Club data uses ML algorithms — less precise than dedicated quad-camera systems
- • GSPro via unofficial connector — ghost shots over Wi-Fi (USB-C fixes it)
- • New units no longer available direct from SkyTrak (CPO only at $895–$2,495, or $1,195 new via PlayBetter); ST MAX ($1,695, End of Summer Sale promo, no stated end date / $2,995 list) is the current flagship
- • Software conflict — must close SkyTrak app before launching E6/GSPro/TGC
"My Skytrack disconnects constantly network or USB connected. It's like 10ft from the router, no other device in my house has an issue."

Alternatives to Consider
SkyTrak ST MAX
$1,695 (promo) / $2,995 (list)Direct successor — similar hitting zone (~4 × 4 in on ST MAX vs 4.5 × 4.5 in on the ST+ — slightly smaller, not larger) and tracking technology as the Plus, plus dual USB-C ports and GOLFTEC Speed Training. The Plus is closing out CPO-only; ST MAX is what new buyers should consider for warranty and support continuity.
Bushnell Launch Pro
$2,999.99Better accuracy, built-in display, 1-year warranty — but Foresight's E6 compatibility guidance lists Gold/Unlocked ($499/yr) + a separate license for E6 (confirm with Foresight), and it's US-only
FlightScope Mevo+
$1,099Cheaper, E6 included, no subscription — but needs 16ft+ room depth
Rapsodo MLM2PRO
$699.99Much cheaper, measured spin, portable — but subscription required, driver issues
