- Range Mode: Put your added speed to the test. See exactly how each extra mile per hour translates into more distance and better control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need special balls or club stickers?
No. The ST MAX works with any clean, quality golf ball and doesn't require stickers on your clubs. This is a significant advantage over many competitors.
What's the difference between ST MAX and SkyTrak+?
Same tracking technology and data parameters. The ST MAX adds Speed Training powered by GOLFTEC, dual USB-C ports, a faster processor, and a new charcoal finish. If speed training matters to you, the ST MAX is the clear choice.
Does it work with GSPro?
Yes, through community-built APIs available via Discord. It's unofficial but widely used and works well. GSPro costs approximately $250/year separately.
Can I use it outdoors?
Yes. The ST MAX works outdoors on hitting mats. Avoid direct sunlight on the lens for best accuracy. The improved photometric system performs much better outdoors than the original SkyTrak.
Does it measure Angle of Attack?
No. Neither the ST MAX nor ST+ measures Angle of Attack or Dynamic Loft. This is a limitation compared to some competitors.
What's the warranty?
6 months or 25,000 shots, whichever comes first. SkyTrak also offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
Do I need a subscription?
Basic functionality is free, but the Essential Plan ($129.99/year) is required for most practice features and third-party software connectivity. Course Play requires additional subscription tiers.
Does it work with Mac?
Yes. SkyTrak is the only major launch monitor brand with first-party native macOS support — a major selling point for Apple users.
What ceiling height do I need?
Minimum 8.5 feet, with 10 feet recommended for comfortable full swings with driver.
Choose options
SkyTrak's most capable monitor. Radar + cameras. Speed training. Charge while you play.
Two tracking technologies, one device. The photometric cameras capture precise ball data at impact — reliable indoors without needing full ball flight. The dual Doppler radar adds club data: path, face angle, attack angle, and more. Combined, they give you a more complete picture than either system alone.
Exclusive to the ST MAX. GOLFTEC's structured speed training program is built directly into the unit — guided drills, live speed readouts, and session summaries that track your gains over time. Speed Mode for pure swing speed focus, Range Mode to immediately test how your new speed translates to a real ball. The most compelling reason to choose the ST MAX over the SkyTrak+.
The biggest frustration with the SkyTrak+ was one USB port — you had to choose between charging the unit and connecting to a PC. The ST MAX has two USB-C ports. Charge continuously while transferring data to your simulator. For permanent home bays that run long sessions, this matters.
15 ball and club metrics per shot, displayed instantly in a single clean layout. Shot Optimizer compares your data against ideal launch conditions and flags what's working and what isn't — green means you're in the zone, red means something to fix. Bag Mapping gives you accurate carry distances for every club. The complete game improvement toolkit.
Play world-famous courses — Pebble Beach, Kingsbarns, Spyglass Hill, Royal Portrush, and more — through SkyTrak's own course play platform, available via membership. Course libraries are powered by SkyTrak directly, with new courses and updates managed within their ecosystem.
The hybrid radar + camera system is built to perform in both environments. Indoors, the photometric cameras read the ball at impact — no full ball flight needed. Outdoors, radar tracks the full flight. Set it next to the ball, connect to the SkyTrak app, and start swinging. Setup takes minutes whether you're in a garage bay or on the range.

Let customers speak for us
I’ve tested multiple overhead launch monitors looking for the best mix of accuracy, reliability, and price. Nothing has come close to the ProTee. It simply works every time. The tracking is fast, consistent, and doesn’t require constant tweaking or recalibration like others I’ve owned. The software is a standout too: intuitive, polished, and far more advanced than I expected at this price point.
For anyone building a home simulator and wanting overhead performance without spending 20k, this is the new standard. ProTee absolutely nailed it.
Have had the ProTeeVX set up for a little over a week and it's been amazing so far. Wasn't totally clear on the dimension requirements and Golf Sim Depot was super helpful through their chat feature and answered all my questions. Bundling this, the protective cover, GSPro AND getting two free swing cams is an incredible deal for a top quality product.
The best company to work with Kyle is very responsive and very easy to work with!!
I had questions about the Protee VX so I called Golf Sim Depot. Kyle answered the phone right away and answered all my questions. I am working on revamping my simulator so he also spent some time talking to me about it and some of the choices I have for the revamp. I bought the Protee VX from Golf Sim Depot and couldn't be happier.
Great company with quick delivery, prompt answers to my questions! Will highly recommend them!
I've been a business owner since I was 12 years old; customer service is the blood that flows for the success of any business. Kyle and his team at Golf Sim Depot have met those standards, from choosing the right sim for my space to following through when an issue arose with my screen. Thank you, Kyle; you have a customer for life.
ProTee vx is the new king of indoor launch monitors. If you want to know every detail of your golf swing then this is the one to purchase..
Couldn't be happier with the ProTee vx.
It is my second Softy. It is worth my health. I am 65. I have hit my share of fat shots. No one had any issue with smacking the club. The last straw was my friend hitting the raised back edge. The first is a little warn in the center - still usable but needs repair gluing the corners and edges after forcing it into a cut out in my mat. This new one fits like a well fitted golf glove. I could not be happier with the product. Regarding Golf Sim Depot: I have had several great experiences with Kylie upgrading from Skytrak to Uneekor EML and then Uneekor's Optix package. This Softy was derived quickly like all the other purchases.
Kyle knows sims. He worked with me and gave me insights that really helped me move my business in the right direction. My launch monitors arrived in less than a week, would highly recommend doing business with Golf Sim Depot.
Needed garmin r50 by certain date. Kyle made it happen even with holiday weekend. Would recommend to anyone looking to purchase.
I received my unit very quickly. Golf sim depot was very flexible and easy to deal with.
They will be the first place I go for any additional needs.
Respond well and fast to questions.
Great customer service. Worked with us very well.
Outstanding customer service and communication. Bought most of my setup here and they got everything to me on time or ahead of schedule.
These guys are great! Called on a Saturday and he went straight to UPS so I had the product on Monday. Very good pricing too. Highly recommend!
