SkyTrak+ Discontinued: $1,995 Clearance

Is the SkyTrak+ discontinued?

Yes. SkyTrak officially discontinued the SkyTrak+ in early July 2026. The product page now reads “This launch monitor is no longer available.” Remaining new inventory is being cleared at $1,995 ($1,000 off the original $2,995 MSRP). The SkyTrak ST MAX at $2,995 is the direct successor. Certified pre-owned units are also available through PlayBetter at $1,495.

It’s been three weeks since SkyTrak confirmed the Plus is done. The product page still says “no longer available.” The clearance price of $1,995 still holds. And the question that keeps coming up in every forum and Facebook group is the same one: should I grab one, or is this a trap?

The answer has some nuance.

What Actually Changed

The SkyTrak+ launched in 2023 as SkyTrak’s mid-range play. It used a hybrid system — dual Doppler radar for club data plus a photometric camera for ball tracking. That combo was its superpower. Most sub-$3,000 launch monitors use pure radar, which estimates spin axis based on ball flight. The SkyTrak+ actually measured it because the camera saw the ball at impact.

The ST MAX replaced it at $2,995. The core measurement tech is the same. The MAX adds a second USB-C port (so you can charge and transmit data at the same time), a redesigned housing, and better alignment marks. That’s basically the whole list. The tracking engine, software compatibility, and accuracy are identical between both units.

So SkyTrak killed a product and replaced it with something that costs $1,000 more and performs identically. That’s the polite way to say it. The impolite way is: they needed to consolidate their product line and the MAX was the one they chose to keep.

The Clearance Situation Right Now

I checked SkyTrak’s site on July 14. The SkyTrak+ is still listed at $1,995 with “Save $1,000” and “This launch monitor is no longer available” banners. The inventory system still shows it as available and purchasable. That might change any day.

PlayBetter has CPO units at $1,495. Those are certified pre-owned units that PlayBetter refurbishes. The hardware, warranty, and software compatibility are the same as new units. If you’re OK with used gear, that’s the better deal — $500 less than clearance new and $1,500 less than the ST MAX.

The original SkyTrak (the 2018 unit, not the Plus) has been gone for years. The Plus is now gone too. The ST MAX is the only new unit SkyTrak sells.

The Honest Buyer’s Guide

Buy the SkyTrak+ at $1,995 if: you want a camera-based launch monitor, you need accurate spin data indoors, and you don’t care about having the latest model. The Plus and the MAX produce the same numbers. The only difference is the Plus won’t get software features that require the MAX’s second USB port — and honestly, that’s a small list.

Buy the CPO SkyTrak+ at $1,495 if: you’re comfortable with refurbished hardware. The CPO units go through the same testing as new ones. $1,495 for a camera-based unit with this accuracy level is the best value in the market right now.

Buy the ST MAX at $2,995 if: you want the latest model, you need dual USB for simultaneous charging and data, or you want the longer support runway. The MAX will get software updates first and will be supported longer. That’s worth something if you plan to keep the unit for 5+ years.

Don’t buy anything from SkyTrak right now if: you don’t need camera-based accuracy and you’re open to radar units. The Garmin R10 at $599, Rapsodo MLM2Pro at $699, and Square Golf Omni at $1,599 are all strong alternatives depending on your budget and needs.

What This Tells Us About the Market

SkyTrak consolidating around the ST MAX is a tell. The sub-$3,000 launch monitor segment is the most competitive it’s ever been. Square Golf hit at $699 with no subscription. Shot Scope dropped the LM1 at $199. Garmin pushed the R10 down to $599 and the R50 up to $2,999. The middle of the market is getting squeezed from both directions.

SkyTrak’s answer was to kill the cheaper option and bet on the MAX at $2,995. That’s a bet that buyers want a single premium option rather than two confusingly similar ones. I think it’s the right call. Having both the Plus and MAX on the shelf at different prices was confusing. The MAX is the product they want to support for the next 3-4 years. The Plus was the transition.

For buyers, the window on the Plus is closing. The clearance inventory will run out. When it does, the cheapest way into the SkyTrak ecosystem will be a CPO unit or a used one on eBay. New units will start at $2,995 and go up from there.
