SKYTRAK Golf Simulator FAQ: Everything You Need to Know Before You Buy

Thinking about creating a home golf simulation setup or upgrading your current golf simulator experience? Whether you're new to SKYTRAK or just have a few questions before getting started, this FAQ covers everything you need to know - from setup and space requirements to data accuracy and software options. 

What is SKYTRAK?

SKYTRAK is your all-in-one launch monitor and golf simulator - designed to bring the driving range, the course, and all the feedback you need right into your home. Whether you're chasing lower scores, working on your swing, or just looking to tee it up with friends, SKYTRAK makes golf fun, accessible, and personalized.

• Ball speed
• Launch angle
• Backspin and sidespin
• Carry and total distance
• Clubhead speed (ST+ model only)
• Face angle, club path, and angle of attack (ST+ model only)

The result? A realistic and highly accurate golf sim experience you can trust.
