What Sets the SkyTrak ST MAX Launch Monitor Apart
Dual Doppler Radar + Camera
Two Doppler radar units track your club through the impact zone while a photometric camera captures ball flight. The result: accurate club and ball data from a single compact unit -- no stickers, no special balls, no extra sensors.
Speed Training by GOLFTEC
Exclusive to the ST MAX. Guided drills and measurable insights from GOLFTEC help you build swing speed and unlock more distance. This is a structured speed-gain program, not just a number on a screen.
21 Data Points
9 ball data metrics, 5 club data metrics, and 7 calculated values. Every swing gives you ball speed, spin, launch angle, carry distance, club speed, face angle, club path, and more -- all measured natively.
88+ Courses via SkyTrak Software
Play world-class courses including Pebble Beach, St Andrews, Bethpage Black, and more through SkyTrak Membership tiers. Foresight Pack (43 courses) and Trackman Pack (45 courses) available separately or bundled in Elite.
Dual USB-C Ports
Charge and connect simultaneously. In a permanent indoor setup, this means no cable swapping -- keep the unit powered while transferring data. A small upgrade that makes a big difference for daily use.
Indoor + Outdoor Ready
Works indoors under normal lighting and outdoors on hitting mats. Improved outdoor performance over the original SkyTrak. 1.7 lbs with a 4-hour rechargeable battery -- take it to the range, the backyard, or your sim room.

SkyTrak ST MAX FAQ
The ST MAX is the successor to the now-discontinued ST+. It uses the same proven dual Doppler radar and photometric camera technology and measures the same data points. The ST MAX adds three exclusive upgrades: Speed Training Powered by GOLFTEC (a structured swing-speed program), dual USB-C ports (charge and connect simultaneously), and a new modular internal design for improved stability and calibration. The exterior has also been updated with a new finish.
No. The ST MAX measures all club and ball data natively using its dual Doppler radar and photometric camera. You can use any standard golf ball -- no stickers, no markings, no special equipment required.
Yes. The ST MAX works both indoors and outdoors. For outdoor use, SkyTrak recommends hitting off a mat and avoiding direct sunlight on the camera lens. Outdoor performance has been improved over the original SkyTrak model.
The ST MAX works with SkyTrak's native membership software (Essential, Core, and Elite tiers with up to 88 courses), as well as third-party simulation software including GSPro, E6 Connect, and TGC 2019. Third-party software is sold separately and does not require a SkyTrak Membership. The ST MAX also includes a 14-day trial membership with access to Sweetens Cove and all game improvement features.
Speed Training is a structured swing-speed program exclusive to the ST MAX. Developed in partnership with GOLFTEC, it provides guided drills and measurable insights designed to help you build club head speed and gain distance. It is included with any SkyTrak Membership tier (Essential or above).
Essential ($99.99/yr) includes game improvement tools: Skills Assessments, Bag Mapping, Wedge Matrix, Randomized Practice, and Speed Training. Core Foresight ($249.99/yr) adds 43 courses including Pebble Beach. Core Trackman ($299.99/yr) adds 45 courses including St Andrews and Bethpage Black. Elite ($499.99/yr) includes both course packs (88 courses total), the full Pebble Beach Resort Pack, 2 new courses monthly, and discounts on SkyTrak accessories and GOLFTEC services.
For a comfortable indoor simulator setup, you need a minimum of 10 feet wide, 8.5 feet tall, and 12-15 feet deep (from the screen to where you stand). The ST MAX sits beside the ball on the floor, so it does not require any ceiling-mounted hardware. Wider rooms (12+ feet) give you more comfortable swings with driver.
The SkyTrak ST MAX package includes: the ST MAX launch monitor unit, a USB-C charging cable, an alignment tool, and a 14-day trial membership activation code. A protective carrying case is available separately.
Yes. We offer financing through Affirm. You can split your purchase into low monthly payments and prequalify with no impact to your credit score. Affirm options appear at checkout.
The SkyTrak ST MAX includes a 30-day satisfaction guarantee -- if you are not satisfied, you may return it within 30 days (see return terms). It is also backed by a 6-month manufacturer warranty or 25,000 shots (whichever comes first), covering defects in materials and workmanship. Physical damage or tampering voids the warranty. A restocking fee of up to 40% may apply if the unit shows damage upon return. Customers are responsible for return shipping costs. Please retain all original packaging.
The ST MAX uses dual Doppler radar for club data and a photometric camera for ball data -- the same hybrid approach used by professional fitting studios. Independent testing shows ball speed accuracy within 1-2 mph and spin within 200-300 RPM of tour-grade systems. The dual-sensor design cross-validates measurements, producing more consistent readings than single-technology units. For home simulator use, the accuracy is more than sufficient to track improvement, diagnose swing issues, and produce realistic ball flights in simulation software.
Yes. The SkyTrak ST MAX is fully compatible with GSPro, one of the most popular third-party golf simulation platforms. GSPro connects via the SkyTrak app on a Windows PC using WiFi or USB-C. It offers 200,000+ courses, online multiplayer, and frequent updates -- all for a one-time license fee (no subscription). GSPro is sold separately and does not require a SkyTrak Membership. The ST MAX is also compatible with E6 Connect and TGC 2019.
Yes. The ST MAX replaces both the original SkyTrak and the now-discontinued SkyTrak+. It uses the same proven dual Doppler radar and photometric camera as the ST+, measuring the same 21 data points. The ST MAX adds three upgrades: Speed Training Powered by GOLFTEC (a structured swing-speed program exclusive to the ST MAX), dual USB-C ports (charge and connect simultaneously), and a redesigned modular interior for improved calibration and long-term stability. If you own an original SkyTrak (ball data only), the ST MAX is a significant upgrade -- you gain full club data without stickers, GOLFTEC speed training, and improved outdoor performance.
