SkyTrak’s biggest weakness has always been club data.
The SkyTrak+ needs stickers. The ST MAX gets some club metrics from its dual-radar hybrid system, but it’s not at GC3 or EYE XR levels. You want real club data — Angle of Attack, Face Angle, Swing Plane — you’re looking at spending triple what a SkyTrak+ costs.
That just changed.
SkyTrak partnered with SkyGolf to integrate SuperTags — those Bluetooth club sensors that stick on the butt end of your grip and capture swing metrics while you play. Beta is available now. And for the first time, SkyTrak users can see what their club is actually doing without spending Foresight Uneekor money.
What SuperTags Actually Give You
SuperTags are small sensors — less than a single swing weight’s worth — that attach to the top of each club grip. They measure club movement through the swing using accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers. Think of them as a swing analyzer that lives on the club, not on the ground.
The initial SkyTrak integration unlocks four new swing metrics directly in the SkyTrak app:
Angle of Attack — How steep or shallow your club is descending at impact. The difference between pinching an iron and catching it fat.
Shaft Lean — Whether your hands are ahead of or behind the ball at impact. The difference between a piercing 6-iron and a moonball that comes up short.
Shaft Angle — The orientation of the shaft through the swing plane. Coaches use this to diagnose over-the-top moves and early extension.
Backswing Length — How far you actually take the club back, measured objectively instead of guessed from video.
That’s in the SkyTrak app right now. Beta download is live at skytrakgolf.com/pages/downloads.
But the real story is what happens when you go deeper.
The Full SuperTags Ecosystem (This Is Where It Gets Interesting)
Pair SuperTags with SkyGolf’s own apps — GameTraX 360, SwingTraX 360 — and you get roughly 25 swing and club metrics, 3D swing visualization and replay, automatic club identification, Strokes Gained analysis, and continuous performance tracking across simulation, practice, and on-course play.
That “automatic club identification” part is worth unpacking. One of the most tedious parts of simulator golf is telling the software which club you just hit. With SuperTags, the system knows. Every shot is attributed to the right club without you touching the screen. It sounds minor until you’ve played 18 holes manually clicking through club selection.
The broader play here is obvious: SkyGolf is building an ecosystem that works across every environment. Simulator. Driving range. On-course. The same SuperTags you use in your SkyTrak sim bay work when you take them to the course with SkyCaddie’s GPS. Your data follows you.
What This Means for Home Sim Buyers
If you own a SkyTrak+ or ST MAX, this is the most meaningful upgrade you can make without buying new hardware.
The SkyTrak+ is a $1,500 launch monitor that measures ball data accurately but gives you almost nothing on club delivery. The ST MAX adds radar-based club speed and path, but Angle of Attack and Face Angle are still gray areas on the spec sheet. SuperTags fill that gap for less than $300.
For comparison:
- Foresight GC3 club data — included at $7,000
- Uneekor EYE XR club data — stickerless at $5,999
- Trackman iO club data — $14,500
- SkyTrak+ with SuperTags — roughly $1,800 all-in
That’s the story here. SkyTrak just made club data accessible at a price point that undercuts every dedicated launch monitor on the market.
The catch: it’s not real-time launch monitor club data. SuperTags measure the club’s motion through the swing, not the exact moment of impact. The data is swing-oriented, not impact-oriented. For a GC3 or EYE XO buyer, that’s a meaningful difference. For a SkyTrak+ user who has never seen their Angle of Attack, it’s revelatory.
What This Means for the Industry
This partnership is a signal about where the market is heading.
Launch monitors measure ball flight. Club sensors measure swing motion. The two are complementary, not competitive. SkyGolf has been signing integration deals across the industry — TruGolf, The Golf Lab, now SkyTrak — and building a club data layer that works with any launch monitor.
The endgame is a world where your launch monitor handles ball data, SuperTags handle club data, and the combined picture gives you what a $10,000+ system delivers for a third of the price.
That’s good for consumers. It’s terrifying for companies trying to charge $7,000 for club data.
The Bottom Line
The SkyTrak SuperTags beta is available now. It adds meaningful swing metrics to the most popular home sim launch monitor in existence. It does not require new hardware, new subscriptions beyond what you already pay SkyTrak, or sticking sensors on your clubs every time you hit.
For $200-$300 in SuperTags, you get club data depth that previously cost $5,000+.
