SKYTRAK ST MAX Golf Simulator - Premium Studio Package
The Complete Simulator. Streamlined for Value. Powered by GOLFTEC.
The SKYTRAK ST MAX Premium Studio Package delivers everything you need for a complete golf simulator experience at a streamlined price point. Launch monitor, enclosure, impact screen, projector, hitting mat, and putting turf — all bundled together and ready to assemble in your garage, basement, or spare room.
At the heart of the package is the SKYTRAK ST MAX Launch Monitor, featuring dual Doppler radar and photometric cameras for tour-level accuracy on both ball and club data. Exclusive Speed Training powered by GOLFTEC provides guided drills and measurable insights to help you build swing speed and unlock more distance — a feature you won't find on any other launch monitor at this price point.
The included Optoma ZW350ST projector delivers 3,600 lumens of laser brightness with a 0.521:1 short-throw lens, creating clear simulator visuals even in rooms with moderate ambient light. Four enclosure sizes (8', 10', 12', and 13' Deep) fit everything from compact garages to dedicated simulator rooms.
For golfers who want the full ST MAX simulator experience with a smart, value-focused approach to accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Premium and Ultimate Studio packages?
Premium includes the ZW350ST projector (WXGA, 3,600 lumens) while Ultimate includes the GT2000HDR (1080p, HDR). Ultimate also adds the ST MAX protective case, ball tray, and HDMI cable. Premium saves approximately $500.
Is WXGA resolution good enough for a golf simulator?
Yes. For most home simulator setups with 100-120" screens in dedicated dark rooms, WXGA provides clear, sharp visuals. The resolution difference is most noticeable on very large screens (150"+) or in extremely well-lit rooms. The ZW350ST's Golf Sim picture mode optimizes colors for simulator graphics.
Can I upgrade the projector later?
Yes. The ZW350ST can be replaced or supplemented with any short-throw projector that fits your mounting configuration. Many golfers start with the Premium package and upgrade the projector later if desired.
What computer or device do I need?
A Windows PC (i3 minimum, i7 recommended), Mac with M1 chip, iPad Pro, or compatible device. The ST MAX connects via Wi-Fi or USB-C.
Is a SKYTRAK membership required?
The 14-day trial is included. After that, basic features remain free, but Course Play and advanced Game Improvement tools require an Essential, Core, or Elite membership (sold separately).
Can I use GSPro or other third-party software?
Yes. The ST MAX is compatible with GSPro, E6 Connect, TGC 2019, Creative Golf, and other major simulator software.
How accurate is the ST MAX?
The dual Doppler radar + photometric camera system delivers tour-level accuracy comparable to high-end launch monitors. Club data is measured directly by radar, not calculated from ball flight.
Do I need club stickers?
No. The ST MAX captures club data without requiring reflective stickers on your clubs.
Which studio size should I choose?
Measure your space and consider ceiling height for your swing, not just the enclosure. Studio 8' fits compact spaces. Studio 10' is popular for standard garages. Studio 12' adds width. Studio 13' Deep is premium for dedicated rooms with 10'+ ceilings.
Should I add a ball tray and protective case?
The ball tray is convenient for practice sessions (holds 100 balls with cellphone holder). The protective case shields the ST MAX from ball strikes up to 100 mph — recommended if your launch monitor positioning leaves it exposed. Both are available separately or included in the Ultimate package.
