SkyTrak+ Discontinued: $1,995 Clearance

The SkyTrak+ is gone. SkyTrak’s product page now opens with a line in bold italic: “This launch monitor is no longer available.”

Hardware discontinuations always have a rumor period, but this time the whispers are real. The SkyTrak+ is officially done, and the only question left is whether the clearance price makes sense or whether you should redirect your money toward the ST MAX.

The State of Play

Here’s where everything stands on SkyTrak’s site right now:

SkyTrak+ (new): $1,995 — marked down from $2,995. That’s a $1,000 discount off the launch price. The inventory is what’s left. When it’s gone, it’s gone.

SkyTrak+ Certified Pre-Owned: $1,495. These are refurbished units with SkyTrak’s certification. Same device, just not new-in-box.

SkyTrak ST MAX: $2,995 — full price. This is the replacement. It’s a different device with dual Doppler radar, photometric cameras, and GOLFTEC Speed Training built in.

Original SkyTrak: Still available at $695, marked down from $1,995. The original is a different conversation entirely.

SkyTrak has also kept the SkyTrak+ Certified Renew Studio Package at $2,995, which bundles the CPO SkyTrak+ with a hitting mat and accessories.

Who Should Buy the Clearance SkyTrak+

If you’ve been waiting for a deal on the SkyTrak+, this is it. The SkyTrak+ was the best mid-range launch monitor on the market for most of 2024 and 2025. It’s a camera-based unit (photometric) that sits next to the ball and captures impact data. It works with GSPro, E6 Connect, TGC 2019, and the full SkyTrak game improvement suite. The difference between it and a $5,000 GC3 is marginal for most home golfers.

The $1,995 clearance price puts it in the same range as the Rapsodo MLM2PRO with its subscription costs baked in, and well below the Bushnell Launch Pro at $2,499. If you want a camera-based launch monitor and you don’t need the club data that the ST MAX or GC3 offer, the SkyTrak+ at $1,995 is a legitimately good deal.

The $1,495 CPO units are the real value play. SkyTrak’s CPO program is solid — these units go through the same refurbishment process, get the same warranty, and the only difference is the box isn’t factory-sealed. At $1,495, you’re getting SkyTrak+ hardware for less than what Shot Scope charges for the LM1 at its regular price.

Who Should Skip It

The SkyTrak+ has one meaningful gap: it doesn’t measure club data natively. You get ball speed, launch angle, spin rate, spin axis, carry distance, and club path (with some estimation). But you don’t get face angle, club path from impact, or angle of attack at the level the ST MAX delivers.

SkyTrak recently partnered with SkyGolf for SuperTags integration, which adds Angle of Attack, Shaft Lean, and Shaft Angle through the tag system. That’s a partial fix — it adds club data through an accessory rather than the onboard hardware. If that matters to you, the ST MAX is the cleaner path.

The SkyTrak+ also requires a membership to unlock game improvement features and course play. The Core plan is $99/year, the Elite plan is $199/year. The ST MAX uses the same membership structure, so that’s a wash between the two.

What the ST MAX Changes

The ST MAX at $2,995 is a fundamentally different device from the SkyTrak+. It uses dual Doppler radar (like a TrackMan) in addition to photometric cameras. That means it captures club data at impact — face angle, club path, angle of attack — without needing tags or extra hardware. It also includes GOLFTEC’s Speed Training system, which is a guided speed-building program that tracks your progress over time.

The ST MAX is the future of the SkyTrak lineup. The SkyTrak+ was the bridge product — the one that took the original SkyTrak’s formula and added better cameras, faster processing, and WiFi. The ST MAX is the next step: a device that competes directly with the Bushnell Launch Pro and the Uneekor EYE MINI on data quality, while keeping the SkyTrak software ecosystem that the + built.

The Bigger Picture

SkyTrak discontinuing the + and moving everyone toward the ST MAX tells you something about where the company is headed. They’re betting that club data is the feature that separates the mid-range from the entry-level. The original SkyTrak at $695 covers the budget buyer. The ST MAX at $2,995 covers the serious golfer who wants full data. The SkyTrak+ existed in the middle — good data, no club data, and a price that made you think about whether you should just stretch for the Launch Pro.

That middle is gone now. If you want a camera-based launch monitor in the $2,000 range, your options are the clearance SkyTrak+ (while it lasts), the Rapsodo MLM2PRO ($699 plus subscription), or the Square Golf OMNI ($1,299, no subscription, club data included). There’s a world where Square Golf’s OMNI is the real winner of the SkyTrak+ discontinuation — same price range, more features, no subscription.

What to Do

If you want the SkyTrak+, buy it now. The clearance stock won’t last, and once it’s gone, the CPO units are your only option for the + form factor at a discount. At $1,995 new or $1,495 CPO, it’s still a capable launch monitor that works with every major sim platform.

If you want club data and a device that won’t be discontinued in 18 months, get the ST MAX. The extra $1,000 (or $1,500 over the CPO price) buys you dual-Doppler radar, real club data, GOLFTEC Speed Training, and a device that will be the standard in SkyTrak’s lineup for the next 3-4 years.

Either way, the SkyTrak+ era is over. It was a good run. The device was solid. But the market moved, and SkyTrak moved with it.
