Foresight Launches the GC3

[GolfSpy MPR]

Duration: 00:38:41

The GC3, Foresights newest member of their launch monitor family, is now available (when it's not sold out, that is). Can it provide the same accuracy as its bigger brother at less than half the price?

So my takeaway is that I either pony up $7000 (or $3000 that will eventually be $7000+) or don't consider buying a PLM. Let's qualify that as a "connect and project" PLM system that provides ball and club head data with some courses/game capability.  That's a pisser, because I've been following a couple of the DIY PLM studio projects and they are the path I was heading.  But those use Mevo+ and SkyTrak and, according to this, they aren't worth having.  Anyone disagree with Tony?

Since there is no way I'm spending $7K for the GC3 or Bushnell Pro, now what?

I found this to be one of the better comparisons.

I’m in the same boat as you, we are going to be moving to a new house next year and I was already planning for my golf studio. I was hoping to find something in the 3-4K range but it doesn’t seem like that’s going to be possible.

I currently have a SkyTrak, but I can tell you that I hardly ever use it.  Granted, I lost most of the winter/spring due to injury when I think I would have used it the most.  I will always prefer to hit off grass and be outside at a driving range or course.  

My largest issue is that I don't have a defined space in my house for the launch monitor.  I am confident that if I had a dedicated golf studio, it would be fantastic.  I think I would use it almost daily, even in the summer time if I had that.  However, right now it's a garage set up where I have to put up and take down all the components after each and every use.  

I find the data to be accurate enough and the misreads aren't terrible.  I feel like the technology on the skytrak is aging.  If I had an inkling of the GC3 coming out, I think I would have held off and saved a bit more money for longer to get something like this.  There are other great units in the price range like the Uneekor, but that is not mobile.  I know the GC4 is great on both turf and grass so if the GC3 would be similar, it would be a no brainer to me.  

The main item I am not sure of with the GC3/GC2 are the software golf course simulator options.  I've always been drawn to TGC2019 due to the open course design and allowing for any and every course to be available with great graphics in my opinion.  

Time will tell what I end up doing, but I have not made the plunge for TGC 2019 yet, because of my apprehension in keeping the SkyTrak unit overall.

Mine arrives Saturday, full GC3. Will have my indoor hitting bay finished by then. Got the hitting screen assembled. Tomorrow I'll get the projector mounted to the ceiling and the side curtains hung. 

I've rearranged the hitting mats, but will have a 8' wide 9'tall screen to hit into. 

So just stop by anytime you need it. I charge $2/hr to rent it

I just don’t understand this one.

Foresight just dropped the price on the GC3 basic bundle down from $7,000 to $6,000, yet their certified pre-owned GC2 (no software provided) is going for $5,400 on their website… go figure.
