Better for GC3
- Performance Seeker
Industry-standard photometric accuracy, used in club fitting and tour facilities. The data lineage the rest of the category is measured against.
- Showroom
The Foresight name and the resale market behind it. Worth knowing the premium no longer buys included software — a Bushnell Launch Pro is the same sensor on the same membership for about $1,000 less at the GC3's $3,999 sale price ($4,000 less against its $6,999 list), though its warranty is one year to the GC3's two.
- Family Setup
Portable enough to share between rooms; ambidextrous play with a unit move. Budget the Foresight+ membership for course play — roughly $500-$1,200/yr depending on how many courses a household wants.
