If you are in the market for an extremely accurate launch monitor that can be used indoors for a home golf simulator, then you’ve most likely been comparing SkyTrak with the Foresight GC2. These gc2 golf sim are two great products that use photometric technology to give you an accurate representation of your ball flight.
However, there are some major differences in costs, software integrations, and performance that you should be aware of. This article will clear up a few of those to make your decision a little easier. As always, the staff here at Shop Indoor Golf is more than happy to answer any specific questions you might have.
Foresight GC2
The Foresight GC2 has been one of the most popular launch monitors on the market since it became available. It’s accurate, dependable, and can be used both indoors and outside for a number of applications.
The GC2 is a commercial-grade launch monitor that is well-suited for indoor use because of its use of high-speed cameras. It is used by teaching professionals, club fitters, and for simulation purposes. Since the company launched their newer GCQuad model, you can now purchase a refurbished GC2 for far less money than it initially cost when it was first released.
There are a few things to consider about the Foresight GC2 if you are using it for a home golf simulator. First, the unit itself is a larger investment at $5,400. If you want to add on the HMT Club Head analysis, which will provide accurate data on your swing and impact location, it is an additional $4,900. Lastly, their FSX software package, which will allow you to play 5 simulated golf courses, will cost around $3,000.
Adding that up will put you in the neighborhood of $8,000 – $13,000 without including costs for your mat, net, and other equipment.
If you have the money to invest and want one of the most accurate and advanced home simulator options, then the GC2 is a worthwhile investment. However, compared to SkyTrak there are some interesting comparisons to make because there is such a large price differential.

SkyTrak
When SkyTrak was released it shook up the home golf simulation market. It was the first launch monitor geared towards recreational golfers that offered accuracy comparable to commercial-grade systems for far less money. That’s the main reason Golf Digest voted SkyTrak the 2017 & 2018 Best Value Golf Simulator.
Additionally, its vast collection of software options at competitive prices made it one of the most versatile products.
SkyTrak also uses high-speed cameras to capture ball data, which is a more accurate solution if you are playing indoors. Radar-based systems such as Trackman and Flightscope require more space to see the ball travel, which makes them difficult to use in smaller spaces.
