YouTube · Sep 10, 2026 MixedI own a SkyTrak St Max and love everything about it except one thing: It does NOT show face impact of the golf ball. It would be very helpful if it showed, like so many other simulators, toe or hill shots and low or high strikes on the face. IT DOESN'T! This is a big omission.

YouTube · Jul 2, 2026 PositiveIts accurate. I have had the monitors for over 3 years. The yardage is accurate as well. I hit in my shop and then go out to the range and I see the same results. The only difference is turf vs real grass. You do not get true results with a fat hit, but you feel it!

YouTube · Apr 3, 2026 Positive@michaelgiammarino7313 The plus adds radar with the cameras of the original, and I think that it as a little more accurate. Also it has a larger area around the red dot that it reads strike from making it less finicky about ball placement and info on a strike displays slightly…

You mentioned shed, just make sure it’s not a metal one as it’s said to throw off the radar which is the same that happens with other radar based ones…

The game improvement/skills features on the Skytrak blow the R50 out of the water. I was sold on the R50 because of the course…

YouTube · Feb 16, 2026 MixedI've used the new ST MAX and the MEVO+. Put both against the Trackman IO, MAX is 4% and Mevo+(RCT balls) is 1% difference from TRACKMAN data. I didn't see video of my face impact or location of face impact on the SKYTRAC (a must have). Its a good monitor, its not the MEVO+.
