SkyTrak+ Discontinued? We Fact-Checked (Updated July 8)
Here's What's Actually Happening
The Short Answer
SkyTrak+ is discontinued at $1,995 clearance. ST MAX at $2,995 is the successor. CPO units at $1,495 still available. Updated July 8 with the confirmed news.
Two different golf content sites published articles in the last week with the same theme: “Is the SkyTrak+ Discontinued?”
The headline lands in your inbox. Your pulse jumps. You were this close to buying one.
Don’t panic.
The actual answer after checking with the primary retailer: the SkyTrak+ is not discontinued. It’s on sale.
Like, on a real sale. The kind where they knock $1,000 off the price because they want to sell more units, not because they’re clearing the warehouse.
The Actual Numbers
PlayBetter, the biggest SkyTrak retailer in the US, has the SkyTrak+ listed at $1,495 right now. $1,495.
The regular price is $2,495. That’s a $1,000 discount. That’s a 40% haircut on the most popular camera-based launch monitor in the home sim market.
What’s in stock and for sale right now:
| Product | Price | Status |
|---|---|---|
| SkyTrak+ (new, base) | $1,495 (was $2,495) | ✅ Available |
| SkyTrak+ with Essentials Package | $1,585 | ✅ Available |
| SkyTrak+ with Core Foresight Course Play | $1,745 | ✅ Available |
| SkyTrak+ with Core Trackman Course Play | $1,765 | ✅ Available |
| SkyTrak+ Certified Pre-Owned | $1,350 | ✅ Available |
| SkyTrak ST MAX (refurbished) | $1,595 | ✅ Available |
Every single variant on PlayBetter shows as available. There’s no “clearance” tag. There’s no “last chance” banner. What there is, right now, is a giant summer sale banner that says “$1,000 OFF SKYTRAK+.”
This is pricing aggression, not a fire sale.
So Where Did the Rumor Come From?
Two sources started the conversation:
Lasco Press published “SkyTrak+ Is Discontinued — Is Now the Time to Buy?” — a headline designed to grab attention. The article itself is more measured, but the damage was done.
Breaking Eighty followed with “Is the SkyTrak+ Still Worth Buying in 2026? Actually, Yes.” — a more balanced take that gave readers a path forward regardless of the discontinuation claim.
Here’s my read on what’s happening: the original SkyTrak — that first-generation unit from 2018 that was a breakthrough at the time — has been end-of-life for years. That product is genuinely gone. It hasn’t been in production since the SkyTrak+ launched.
The SkyTrak+? Different story. It’s still being manufactured. It’s still being sold through every major retailer. It has active software development happening (new membership tiers with Foresight and Trackman course play just launched). This is not a dead product walking.
Why Would They Cut the Price $1,000?
Competition.
The Square Golf Omni hit the market at $1,599 with four cameras, GSPro support, and no subscription requirement. The Rapsodo MLM2 Pro sits at $699 with Doppler radar and 40,000+ courses. The Garmin R50 does the “no PC needed” thing for $2,999.
SkyTrak needed to answer. Dropping the SkyTrak+ from $2,495 to $1,495 is a statement.
It says: “we know the market got more competitive. We know there are cheaper options. But at $1,495, with our ecosystem, our community, and our proven accuracy — we win on value.”
And you know what? At $1,495, they’re right.
What About the Membership Model?
This is the part the rumor articles are actually circling around. SkyTrak changed their membership structure in 2026. You now have more options than ever:
| Membership | Price/year | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| Game Improvement (Essential) | $90 | Basic driving range, game modes, skills challenges |
| Core Foresight | $225 | Essential + Foresight course play (30+ courses) |
| Core Trackman | $270 | Essential + Trackman course play (30+ courses) |
| Elite | $450 | All courses from both + all premium features |
The old model was simpler. The new model gives you more choice. But change creates confusion, and confusion creates rumors.
Nobody’s killing the product. They’re just changing how you pay for the software — which, if you’ve been in this space longer than five minutes, is what literally every launch monitor manufacturer does.
What Actually Matters to Buyers
Buy the SkyTrak+ if:
- You want the best-supported camera-based LM under $2,000
- You value software options (E6, TGC 2019, Awesome Golf, GSPro via connector)
- You want a massive community for troubleshooting and tips
- You see $1,495 as the best camera deal on the market (because it is)
Don’t buy the SkyTrak+ if:
- You’re fine without course play (buy the Square Golf HE at $699)
- You need portability for outdoor use (get the Garmin R10 at $499)
- You’re a data nerd who must have club path and face angle without stickers (buy the GC3 or save for it)
Verdict
The SkyTrak+ is not discontinued.
It’s more popular than ever. The price drop isn’t a funeral — it’s a market signal. SkyTrak knows Square Golf, Rapsodo, and Garmin are coming for their customers. The answer wasn’t a graceful exit. It was a $1,000 price cut and a software overhaul.
If you’ve been sitting on the fence because you read those “discontinued” headlines, get off. The SkyTrak+ at $1,495 is the best camera-based value in home sim, and it’s not close.
