The planner draws each unit to scale with your room and your swing: where it sits, and whether your swing clears the ceiling, walls and screen. Put in your room once, then switch units in the planner to compare.

Better for SkyTrak ST MAX

  • Cost-Effective Buyer

    $1,695 at every retailer we track for SkyTrak's current model: the same camera-plus-radar approach as the SkyTrak+ it replaced, with a hitting zone about four times the area, current-model support and a longer software runway. While closeout stock lasts, the discontinued SkyTrak+ is about $600 cheaper ($1,095 new) for the smaller zone.

  • Performance Seeker

    GOLFTEC speed training module adds genuine practice value. Same accuracy as the SkyTrak+ in a current-gen package.

  • Space-Constrained

    Beside-the-ball placement needs no ball-flight depth. Plan on 18 ft of length (our room planner: SkyTrak's recommended 10 ft to the screen, the 7 ft behind the tee Shop Indoor Golf and Carl's Place advise, a foot behind the screen; SkyTrak's own room guide says 12) and 11 ft of width (the ST MAX guide prints its width minimum as both 10 ft and 3.35 m, which is 11 ft). SkyTrak recommends 15 ft each way.
