SKYTRAK ST MAX Golf Simulator - Standard Studio Package

The Essentials. Nothing Extra. Full ST MAX Power.

The SKYTRAK ST MAX Standard Studio Package is the most direct path to a complete golf simulator — everything you need for full-swing practice and course play, without extras you may not need. Launch monitor, enclosure, impact screen, projector, and hitting mat bundled together and ready to assemble.

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 in most home environments. Four enclosure sizes (8', 10', 12', and 13' Deep) fit everything from compact garages to dedicated simulator rooms.

For golfers focused on full-swing improvement who want the lowest entry point into the ST MAX ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Standard, Premium, and Ultimate packages?
Standard includes the essentials for full-swing practice (no putting turf). Premium adds embedded putting turf ($500 more). Ultimate adds the 1080p HDR projector, protective case, ball tray, putting turf, and HDMI cable ($1,000 more than Standard).

Can I add putting turf later?
Yes. You can purchase putting turf separately or create your own putting setup. Many golfers start with Standard and add accessories as they dial in their space.

Is WXGA resolution good enough for a golf simulator?
Yes. For most home simulator setups with 100-120" screens, WXGA provides clear, sharp visuals. The ZW350ST's Golf Sim picture mode optimizes colors for simulator graphics. The resolution difference is most noticeable on very large screens or in extremely well-lit rooms.

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 get the protective case separately?
The protective case shields the ST MAX from ball strikes up to 100 mph. If your launch monitor positioning leaves it exposed, consider adding the case (included in Ultimate or available separately).

Is the Standard package right for me?
Choose Standard if you're focused on full-swing practice, want the lowest entry price, already have putting equipment, or plan to customize your setup with your own accessories. If short-game practice is important, consider Premium for the embedded putting turf.
