SkyTrak ST MAX Golf Simulator - SIG8 Complete Package

Dual Radar + Camera Accuracy. GOLFTEC Speed Training. Works on Mac, iPad, iPhone, and PC.

The SkyTrak ST MAX Golf Simulator Bundle pairs SkyTrak's most advanced launch monitor with the SIG8 Golf Simulator Studio — bringing hybrid dual Doppler radar and photometric camera tracking to the most space-efficient enclosure in The Indoor Golf Shop's Signature Series. The ST MAX delivers 14 ball and club data points with accuracy trusted by serious golfers worldwide, no club stickers required, and no special balls needed.

What sets the ST MAX apart from every other monitor in this lineup is two things: the exclusive Speed Training powered by GOLFTEC — structured drills designed to actively build clubhead speed and add real distance — and native Mac support, making it the only major launch monitor brand that works first-party on macOS. If you're an Apple user or focused on getting longer, the ST MAX is the clear choice.

The SIG8 Studio fits rooms as narrow as 9' wide, houses the SIGPRO Premium Impact Screen (MyGolfSpy's independent testing winner), and assembles in an afternoon with its color-coded push-pin system. Select your mat, add a projector if needed, and you're playing.

Key Benefits

• ✔ Dual Doppler Radar + Photometric Camera System
  Hybrid tracking technology captures both ball and club data with precision comparable to launch monitors costing $10,000+. No stickers on clubs, no special balls — just accurate data from every swing.
• ✔ Speed Training Powered by GOLFTEC — Exclusive to ST MAX
  The only launch monitor with integrated speed training built by GOLFTEC's coaching team. Train without hitting a ball, follow guided drills, set speed goals, and track progress over time. Watch real distance gains show up in your data.
• ✔ Native Mac Support — Unique in the Category
  SkyTrak is the only major launch monitor brand with first-party native macOS support. Also works natively on iPad, iPhone, Android, and Windows — the broadest platform compatibility of any monitor in this lineup.
• ✔ No Stickers, No Special Balls
  The ST MAX works with any clean, quality golf ball using its hybrid radar and camera system. No club-face stickers, no marked balls, no proprietary equipment needed.
• ✔ 70+ World-Class Courses
  With a SkyTrak membership, play Pebble Beach, St. Andrews, Royal Portrush, and dozens of other iconic courses — plus immersive practice ranges designed to accelerate improvement.
• ✔ Premium Game Improvement Suite
  Skills Assessments, Bag Mapping, Wedge Matrix, Shot Optimizer with color-coded feedback, and benchmarking against millions of shots in the SkyTrak database — the most comprehensive practice toolkit in this price range.
• ✔ Dual USB-C Connectivity
  Charge and transfer data simultaneously. No more swapping cables or interrupting sessions to recharge.
• ✔ Indoor & Outdoor Ready
  Use it in your SIG8 or take it to the range. Improved outdoor performance over the original SkyTrak — avoid direct sunlight on the lens for best accuracy.
• ✔ SIGPRO Premium Impact Screen — MyGolfSpy Independent Testing Winner
  Three-layer tight-knit polyester rated for 250 MPH ball strikes. Superior durability, quieter operation, and reduced bounce-back versus leading competitors.
• ✔ Compact SIG8 Enclosure — Fits Tight Spaces
  At just 8'4" × 8'4" × 5', the SIG8 fits apartments, spare bedrooms, narrow garages, and offices where larger enclosures won't go.
• ✔ Color-Coded, DIY-Friendly Assembly
  The SIG8 frame uses push-pin poles and color-coded connectors — quick, frustration-free setup without professional help.

What's in This Bundle

Speed Training Powered by GOLFTEC — Exclusive to ST MAX

Speed Training is the defining feature of the ST MAX — not available on the SkyTrak+ or any other model. It's a structured speed development program built by GOLFTEC's coaching team and integrated directly into the unit.

• Speed Mode — Train for speed without hitting a ball. Unlimited swings, real-time clubhead speed feedback, goal tracking, and muscle memory development.
• Range Mode — Test your added speed with live ball data. See exactly how each extra mph translates into carry distance and shot shape.
• GOLFTEC Drills — Guided drills covering strength, tempo, and swing efficiency — designed to build sustainable speed, not just a one-session spike.
• Progress Tracking — Session history, improvement graphs, and new goal-setting as you get faster.

Membership & Software

The ST MAX includes a 14-day trial membership. After the trial, a paid plan is required to access most features. Choose the tier that fits your goals:

Third-Party Simulator Software: GSPro connectivity is available through community-built APIs (widely used, requires separate GSPro subscription at ~$250/yr). E6 Connect integration is limited as SkyTrak has moved toward its native Course Play platform.

Platform Compatibility: Windows 10/11 · macOS (native) · iPad · iPhone · Android 4.4+

Hitting Mat Options

Select your hitting surface at checkout. The ST MAX is floor-mounted to the side of the ball, using a laser dot for precise positioning. The SIGPRO Softy 4'×7' is well-suited for this setup, providing a larger surface that keeps the unit level alongside the hitting area.

Note: The SIG8 is not wide enough to accommodate the 4' × 10' double-sided mat. For a center-tee left/right alternating setup at mat level, consider the SIG10 or SIG12 bundle.

Projector Options

The ST MAX connects to your simulator software via Wi-Fi — no direct cable to the projector. For the full projection experience on the SIG8 screen, a short-throw projector is strongly recommended. The SIG8 has a 1:1 aspect ratio, resulting in approximately 80% image fill with slight letterboxing when using a standard 16:9 projector.

SkyTrak ST MAX — What's Measured

Note: The ST MAX does not measure Angle of Attack or Dynamic Loft. These metrics are available on some competing systems. If these specific data points are important to your practice, contact us and we can help you find the best monitor for your needs.

Choose SIG12 if you have 13'+ room width and 10'+ ceilings and want the largest screen and tallest frame in the SIG Series — 14'3" diagonal, 9'4" tall frame.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need special balls or club stickers?
No. The ST MAX works with any clean, quality golf ball using its hybrid dual radar and camera system. No stickers, no marked balls, no proprietary equipment required.

Is a membership required?
A 14-day trial is included. After the trial, a paid membership is needed to access most meaningful features. The Essential Plan at $129.99/yr is recommended as a minimum — it unlocks Shot Optimizer, Bag Mapping, Skills Assessments, Wedge Matrix, and Speed Training. Course play requires a Core or Elite plan.

Does the ST MAX work with GSPro?
Yes, via community-built APIs available through the GSPro Discord community. This is widely used and works well, but it is not an official SkyTrak integration. GSPro requires its own subscription (~$250/yr).

Does it work on Mac?
Yes — SkyTrak provides first-party native macOS support, which is rare in this category. It also works natively on Windows, iPad, iPhone, and Android.

What ceiling height do I need?
The SIG8 enclosure is 8'4" tall and requires a minimum 9' ceiling for comfortable full swings. The ST MAX requires a minimum of 8.5' — both are satisfied at 9'+.

What is Speed Training and is it included?
Speed Training powered by GOLFTEC is exclusive to the ST MAX (not available on SkyTrak+ or any other model). It is accessible with the Essential Plan and above — included in your 14-day trial, then requires a membership to continue.

What's the warranty on the ST MAX?
The ST MAX carries a 6-month warranty or 25,000 shots, whichever comes first. SkyTrak also offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. The SIG8 Studio is covered under The Indoor Golf Shop's standard warranty. Contact Golf Sim Depot at (770) 766-5571 with any warranty questions.

Does the ST MAX measure Angle of Attack or Dynamic Loft?
No. The ST MAX does not measure Angle of Attack or Dynamic Loft. If these specific metrics are important to your practice, contact us at (770) 766-5571 and we can help identify the right monitor for your needs.

Why does the SIG8 screen show ~80% image fill?
The SIG8 has a 1:1 (square) aspect ratio, while most projectors output a 16:9 image — creating slight letterboxing above and below. The SIG10 and SIG12 use 4:3 screens with 100% image fill. Letterboxing is cosmetic and does not affect gameplay.

Does the bundle include a projector?
A projector is optional — select your preferred model at checkout, or choose "No Projector." The ST MAX connects to your simulator software via Wi-Fi — projector selection is independent of monitor connectivity.

Does the ST MAX detect putting?
Yes. The ST MAX detects putts up to 30 yards — compatible with the SIG8 Simulator Flooring option's integrated putting green.
