Better for SkyTrak ST MAX
- Recreational Player
Native Mac and iPad apps (M1 or newer) are rare in this price range. Polished SkyTrak software with easy course play.
- Family Setup
Polished SkyTrak software is forgiving for non-technical household members. Ambidextrous play possible with a unit move; native Mac and iPad apps (M1 or newer) don't lock you to a single OS.
- 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.
