Key Features
What Sets the SkyTrak ST MAX Launch Monitor Apart
Photometric Camera + Dual Doppler Radar
A photometric camera system tracks the ball at impact, and dual Doppler radar captures ball and club data. The result: 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.
14 Ball and Club Metrics
9 ball data metrics and 5 club data metrics. Every swing gives you ball speed, spin, launch angle, carry distance, club speed, face angle, club path, and more.
Course Play via SkyTrak Membership
Play world-class courses including Pebble Beach, St Andrews, Bethpage Black, and more through SkyTrak's Core and Elite Memberships. Foresight Pack (49 courses) and Trackman Pack (51 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 and outdoors on a hitting mat. Outdoors, SkyTrak says to keep direct sunlight off the lens. 1.7 lbs with a rechargeable battery -- take it to the range, the backyard, or your sim room.
Club Data
SkyTrak ST MAX Club Metrics
Measured by dual Doppler radar on every swing. No stickers or marked clubs required.
Club Head Speed
Speed of the clubhead through impact -- the foundation of your distance potential
Smash Factor
Energy transfer efficiency (ball speed ÷ club speed) -- higher means more distance from the same swing speed
Club Path
Swing direction through the impact zone -- if you push or pull shots, this is the first number to check
Face Angle
Clubface orientation at impact -- the biggest factor in where your ball starts
Face-to-Path
Difference between face angle and club path -- the primary driver of draw, fade, or straight ball flight. If you are fighting a slice, this is the metric to watch.
Ball Data
What the ST MAX Tracks on Every Shot
Captured by the photometric camera system and dual Doppler radar. No special balls required -- SkyTrak calls for a clean, white golf ball.
Ball Speed
Velocity off the clubface at impact
Back Spin
RPM of backward rotation affecting trajectory and stopping power
Side Spin
RPM of lateral rotation -- the spin that curves your shot left or right
Launch Angle
Vertical launch angle off the clubface
Side Angle
Horizontal launch direction -- how far left or right of target
Carry Distance
Distance to first bounce (air distance)
Total Distance
Carry + roll for full shot distance
Descent Angle
Landing angle -- affects how your ball checks on the green

Setup Guide
How to Set Up the SkyTrak ST MAX Golf Simulator
1. Unbox & Charge
Charge the ST MAX before first use: SkyTrak says to charge it for a minimum of 6 hours. Use one of the two USB-C ports with an included USB-C cable and the wall charger.
2. Download the App
Download the SkyTrak app on your iOS, Android, or Windows device. Create your SkyTrak account, register the ST MAX under My Device, and start your 14-day trial membership (Sweetens Cove plus all game improvement features).
3. Position the Unit
Place the ST MAX beside the ball, level with the hitting surface and parallel to your target line. Once connected, it projects a red laser dot: set the ball (or the base of the tee) on the dot. SkyTrak recommends alignment sticks to check your target line.
4. Connect Wi-Fi or USB
Connect the ST MAX over Wi-Fi in Network Mode through your home router (SkyTrak's recommended mode) or in Direct Mode. On a Windows PC you can also connect with a USB-C cable in the right port while the other port handles power.
5. Choose Your Software
Use SkyTrak's native app for practice tools and course play. Upgrade to Core or Elite Membership to unlock additional course libraries with Pebble Beach, St Andrews, and more.
6. Start Hitting
Swing and watch your data appear in real time. Use Skills Assessments and Bag Mapping to build your practice routine.

Frequently Asked Questions
SkyTrak ST MAX FAQ
What is the difference between the SkyTrak ST MAX and the SkyTrak ST+?
SkyTrak calls the ST MAX its most advanced design yet. SkyTrak lists these ST MAX features: Speed Training Powered by GOLFTEC (exclusive to the ST MAX), dual USB ports for simultaneous charging and data transfer, a new modular internal design that reduces internal components, enhances system stability, and maintains precise calibration, and a new charcoal grey finish.
Does the SkyTrak ST MAX require stickers or special balls?
No. The ST MAX captures ball and club data with its photometric camera system and dual Doppler radar, with no ball or club stickers. SkyTrak's user guide calls for a clean, white golf ball; for the best spin readings, turn a marking such as the brand logo toward the lens.
Can I use the SkyTrak ST MAX outdoors?
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.
What software is compatible with the SkyTrak ST MAX?
The ST MAX works with SkyTrak's native membership software. Essential covers the driving range and the practice, game evaluation, and challenge libraries. Course play comes with Core Foresight (the 49-course Foresight Pack, including Pebble Beach), Core Trackman (the 51-course Trackman Pack, including Pebble Beach, St Andrews, and Bethpage Black), and Elite (both packs). The ST MAX also includes a 14-day trial membership with access to Sweetens Cove and all game improvement features.
What is Speed Training Powered by GOLFTEC?
Speed Training Powered by GOLFTEC is a swing-speed program exclusive to the ST MAX. SkyTrak says it provides guided drills and measurable insights to help you build swing speed and gain distance.
What is the difference between SkyTrak Membership tiers?
Essential ($99.99/yr) includes the SKYTRAK Driving Range, PinSeeker Access, the Practice Range, Game Evaluation and Challenge libraries, Sim Club Membership, and $25 off a GOLFTEC Game Evaluation. Core Foresight ($299.99/yr) adds 49 courses including Pebble Beach. Core Trackman ($349.99/yr) adds 51 courses including St Andrews and Bethpage Black. Elite ($599.99/yr) includes both course packs (49 + 51 courses), the full Pebble Beach Resort Pack, 2 new courses monthly, 10% off the SkyTrak Shop and GOLFTEC services, and a free GOLFTEC Game Evaluation.
What room size do I need for a golf simulator with the SkyTrak ST MAX?
SkyTrak recommends a minimum unobstructed space of 10 feet wide by 10 feet deep, with enough ceiling height to safely swing your longest club. The ST MAX sits beside the ball, so it does not require any ceiling-mounted hardware.
What is included in the box?
The SkyTrak ST MAX box includes the ST MAX launch monitor, two USB-C cables and a wall charger. Registering the unit starts a 14-day trial membership. The SkyTrak MAX/ST+ Protective Case is sold separately.
Does Top Shelf Golf offer financing for the SkyTrak ST MAX?
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.
What is the warranty and return policy?
The ST MAX is 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. Under our return policy, you must tell Top Shelf Golf you intend to return the unit within 30 days; returns must be in new, sellable condition in the original packaging, the original shipping charge and a 3% payment processing fee are deducted from the refund, the customer pays return shipping, and a restocking fee may apply to damaged or incomplete returns.
How accurate is the SkyTrak ST MAX?
SkyTrak says the ST MAX brings tour-level accuracy, using a photometric camera system together with dual Doppler radar. SkyTrak notes that photometric systems do not need the long ball flight that radar-based units do, which suits indoor simulators. For consistent readings, keep the unit level with the hitting surface, aligned parallel to your target line, and the lens clean.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 152 reviews.
Love the products. Only ask would be step by step instructions for set up. More detailed than they provide. Customer service was very helpful.
SkyTrak+ Simulator Series Premium Package
Store owner replied: Thank you for your feedback Mark! As mentioned during our conversation, the product assembly video covers all necessary installation steps. Please feel free to reach out if you need more guidance, we would be more than happy to assist!
So much fun. Having all my friends over this weekend
Oh my so much fun. Actually harder than real golf. But I bought this to improve my game.
We love our setup in the garage. We got everything from TopShelf golf and that made it very easy. The retractable screen is excellent and Skytrak+ is pretty great. We also got the TGC 2019 with our purchase and that works well. Installation was easy and my wife and kids all love it. Topshelf had good customer service and overall I highly recommend these products and Topshelf!
Works as advertised
Had a loft upstairs that was not being used at all. This setup fits perfectly. The complete combination is perfect for practice and game playing. I wish I had set this up years ago!
I came from the original SkyTrak and I'm really enjoying the new metrics on the SkyTrak+ compared to the old one. The new swing path and face angle info has helped me correct bad habits and find the feeling of swinging "in to out" more. While there are still the occasional misreads/no-reads, they seem to be much less common than the original.
One of the most impressive things about the SkyTrak home golf simulator is its accuracy. As you can see in the video all you have to do is place the ball on the little red light. The simulator uses advanced technology to accurately track your ball flight, providing you with a precise picture of your shot's trajectory, spin, and speed. This level of accuracy is unmatched by other home golf simulators, and it makes the SkyTrak an excellent choice for serious golfers who want to improve their game. Out of other simulators I’ve tried like the mevo + and the garmin the SkyTrak is my favorite for an indoor simulator. I would highly recommend this product to anyone with a limited amount of space indoors!!
Still have some work to do on simulator and accessories but I love the Skytrac! It has worked seamlessly and can’t wait to beable to use it more! Here I am hitting my first shots with my new screen up!
I am absolutely obsessed with this simulator. I'm out there every day practicing. I should have bought it a long time ago.
Work as advertise very happy with it.
Amazing product that came with quick shipping and good service
Set up was was super simple besides attaching the monitor. My 2 kids love it along with their friends and we have family golf scrambles. So nice to be swinging the club during snowstorms
This is going to help our players in our program improve during the winter months especially with our younger players. Looking forward to the results.
Bought this for my dad as a Christmas present since he has been wanting one forever but looking forward to the whole family getting together to use it! The shopping process was easy and they clearly stated what was included in the bundle. Loved the free shipping since I was worried that was going to tack on another $500. Everything arrived quickly and safely. The buying process online was simple too and the customer service was great. Can’t wait to put in a few hours on the simulator and see how much it improves our game!
The package came timely and has everything I need to improve my game at home. I’m able to roll up the screen when we’re not using the simulator and get full access to the room. I’ve wanted to put a simulator together for years now and with Top Shelf, I’ve been able to do it!!!
It's great that you can reclaim the space with the Homecourse Pro Screen. I installed it just right above the garage door, but it ended up too short, with about 1 foot gap below. To clear the garage door, I installed it at 8'4" above finish floor to the bottom screen housing. Based on the manual, installing it between 8' and 9' should have been okay, but now I'll need to look some sort of platform below so that the screen is resting correctly. Other than that, I know I'll enjoy having this setup, pairing this screen with Skytrak will provide much more practice time at home.
One of the tubes came bent. Called and had a new tube the next day, awesome service and the back there equipment. They were always there when I had a question. Great service
This simulator is perfect for training my great granddaughters learning the great game of golf. They are already using it before we got it completely setup and love to see the results of their shot. I will have to wait until they gone to school before I get to practice. We are completely satisfied with the simulator and highly recommend it.
Great device for the price. Perfect for your average golfer.
I want to thank topshelf golf for the excellent service and customer support for my purchase of the SkyTrak simulator. I am looking forward to practicing and hopefully improving my golf game. Once again, thanks, Kevin
Accurate and easy to use.
Ordering my skytrak was simple and easy! Any questions I had was in the description. Shipping was probably the best and easiest experience I have had, they always updated me on where my product was and only took a week to get here! The skytrak and net was simple to setup and I highly recommend this product.
The Skytark works as advertised and has helped me get back into golf swing shape. No more driving an hour to and from the driving range, and standing in line to get a spot. Just the comfort of my garage and now knowing how far I hit each club!
It arrived on time and perfect condition having a lot of fun on it.
Customer service was fantastic. Promptly answer all my questions. Very timely with the delivery. Would recommend in upgrading the mat to avoid have the club bounce.
We love the skytrak so far. Top shelf was great to work with and very helpful. My boys will not stop playing!!
This is the best purchase ever. My whole family loves it and can’t wait to play each day. This has saved the winter months.
Only have had it for 1 week now. So far i like it. Mark
The Skytrack works very nice. The start up instruction for wifi connection is quite confusing and not detail for low tek guys like me. I called their service desk - they helped great. So all in all - great!
Bought this after first buying an opti shot and it’s a night and day difference. 10/10 would recommend!
I really love this SkyTrak golf simulator. I was worried regarding the shot delay, watch my video that's totally negligible. Practice modes are great.
Bought the Skytrak for me basement setup and it is working out great. I love being able to come home and hit balls all winter long whenever I want. All of the capabilities of the sky track and all the information it provides is very helpful
Nice to work on my game during the winter.
DIY SIMULATOR GARAGE BUILD: The Skytrack product speaks for itself. I tried a budget device but it was so complicated to set-up with cameras and angles and other math involved that I sent it all back and went with the Skytrack. Skytrack is what it says it is: very easy setup, very easy to interface (TGC 2019) and so damn fun to use. I had it operational a full day before guests were arriving. The challenge I had was with 21 coming for Thanksgiving and many of those looking forward to using the Simulator. Since it was the Monday before I was stuck because the original launch monitor was not functioning. I surfed Golf Retailers and ended up calling them not trusting the inventory positions online. I was ecstatic when Top Shelf told me, "we have the Skytrack in stock and I can call our Distribution Center and ensure it is expedited to you." Sure enough, actual follow through and they made it happen. I received it in Oregon the next day after ordering it at 2pm Eastern Time. Unbelievably good coordination and attitude to get it done. Plus I was hitting balls in the Garage Simulator with 8 of my 21 guests. Outstanding!
Performs well, looking forward to using it during these Midwest winters! Also looking forward to pairing it with a simulator software, but the start up process was easy to follow. The shipping was crazy fast, I wasn't expecting to get mine for another month or so and I got it within a week with standard shipping! Thank you so much for the fast shipping and great communication!
We love our Skytrak. Have seen complaints about the delay but its very minimal. It even picks up my daughters plastic golf ball!
Love my set up from Top Shelf Golf. Everything was easy to set up and is very good quality. Customer service was great.
I contacted Topshelf about a launch monitor. They were very helpful in accommodating me with a monitor that would work with my existing PC/Smartphone. It works perfect as they suggested. Shipping was fast. I highly suggest Topshelf for their experience and professionalism.
