Published

on

So you have a spare room or a garage that you’d like to turn into a place to practice and play golf. Great! Maybe you have a little extra room in the budget or you’ve (finally) got the blessing of your spouse. What to do…and how to do it without spending a million dollars? Launch monitors? Mats? Screens? Nets? Where to begin?

Enter the SkyTrak+ Play Now Golf Simulator Studio, Pro Package.

Powered by the new SkyTrak+ launch monitor, the SkyTrak Play Now Golf Simulator Studio, Pro Package offers everything you need to set up your own simulator without breaking the bank. And even better, with SkyTrak’s easy-build frame, you’ll be set up in less than an hour.

What size is your spare room, basement, attic, or garage? Regardless of your answer, there’s a very good chance SkyTrak+ has you covered.

Check out the specs below.

Included with the kit

  • All New SkyTrak+ Launch Monitor
  • One Year PIP (Play and Improve) Membership
  • SkyTrak Play Now Golf Simulator Studio Enclosure (Pick your size)
  • Side Nets for Enclosure (Comes in a pair)
  • SkyTrak Hitting Mat 5 x 5

  • HDMI Cable

About the enclosure

The SkyTrak Play Now Golf Simulator Studio enclosures is made from powder-coated one-inch rolled steel and uses a clip system. It’s strong. It’s sturdy. It’s easy to handle.

Speaking of handling, the SkyTrak enclosure’s four-layer screen can handle all your firepower. Balls bounce back no more than foot at up to 130 mph in clubhead speed. The screen features a single-piece design, meaning side and ceiling walls are all one piece. It’s as quiet as it is durable, but should you need to buy a new screen, it’s removable by velcro, so you don’t have to purchase an entirely new enclosure just to replace the screen.

Also, the enclosure features waterproof PVC-based nylon black material for maximum utility and durability.

One person (without a ladder!) can assemble the SkyTrak Play Now Golf Simulator Studio. Additionally, there’s no drilling needed as the projector mount affixes directly to the enclosure — no damage to ceilings, floors, or walls.

A refresher on the SkyTrak+

Complementing SkyTrak’s existing camera-derived ball flight data, SkyTrak+ features a new dual doppler radar with an integrated machine learning algorithm to give users a wealth of club data for the first time at this price point. And it does so without any stickers or special balls.

Sky Trak+’s club data includes:

  • Club head speed
  • Smash factor
  • Club path
  • Face angle

And it does all this at a price point under $3,000.

Still shots from Feb 2023 Commercial Shoot for ST+

SkyTrak+’s new improved photometric camera system delivers improved ball tracking. And unlike exclusively radar-based units, there are no space limitations/distances from the unit for indoor use. Additionally, the camera system functions well on mats allowing users to practice outdoors, according to SkyTrak.

As you can see below, the SkyTrak+ interface displays carry, total distance, face-to-target, and club path data overlaying the driving range — additionally, previous shots are displayed with a heat map rather than plotted inside an ellipse. Launch angle, spin, and descent angle are displayed alongside suggested optimal ranges based on club head data, along will all the other metrics you’d expect to see in a top-tier launch monitor.

    Very compelling price, as long as it will become compatible with GSPro. Most sim in a box come with a PC. I didn’t see that mentioned. If not, the GC3 setup may be better.

Spotted: Tommy Fleetwood’s TaylorMade Spider Tour X Prototype putter

Published

on

Tommy Fleetwood has been attached to his Odyssey White Hot Pro #3 putter for years now. However, this week at the Wells Fargo Championship, we did spot him testing a new putter that is very different, yet somewhat similar, to his current gamer.

This new putter is a TaylorMade Spider Tour X head but with a brand new neck we haven’t seen on a Spider before. A flow neck is attached to the Spider head and gives the putter about a 1/2 shaft offset. This style neck will usually increase the toe hang of the putter and we can guess it gets the putter close to his White Hot Pro #3.

Another interesting design is that lack of TaylorMade’s True Path alignment on the top of the putter. Instead of the large white center stripe, Tommy’s Spider just has a very short white site line milled into it. As with his Odyssey, Tommy seems to be a fan of soft inserts and this Spider prototype looks to have the TPU Pure Roll insert with 45° grooves for immediate topspin and less hopping and skidding.

The sole is interesting as well in that the rear weights don’t look to be interchangeable and are recessed deep into the ports. This setup could be used to push the CG forward in the putter for a more blade-like feel during the stroke, like TaylorMade did with the Spider X Proto Scottie Scheffler tested out.

Tommy’s putter is finished off with an older Super Stroke Mid Slim 2.0 grip in blue and white. The Mid Slim was designed to fit in between the Ultra Slim 1.0 and the Slim 3.0 that was a popular grip on tour.
