Key Tradeoffs
Premium, highly accurate photometric unit sharing camera lineage with the pro-grade GCQuad (GC3 = 3 cameras vs GCQuad's 4). Spin is directly measured optically — a key indoor accuracy advantage over radar units that must estimate spin without special balls; foresight is also RCT-Verified. Club data

Technology
Photometric / camera-based launch monitor using a Triscopic High-Speed Camera System (three high-speed cameras plus an integrated infrared light source) that optically images the ball at impact to measure ball speed, launch/side angle, total spin and spin axis; club data via…
Ball Data
~10+ metrics. Ball: ball speed, launch angle, side/azimuth angle, total spin, spin axis (side spin), carry distance. Club: club head speed, smash factor, club path, angle of attack. · Measured by camera — total spin and spin axis are read optically by the triscopic high-speed…
Club Data
Measured (camera-based) — requires small metallic/circular stickers applied to the top of each club face. Club metrics: club head speed, smash factor, club path, angle of attack (some delivery angles

Special Balls
No marked or proprietary golf balls required for ball data — the photometric cameras read any standard ball (e.g., a regular Pro V1). Metallic/circular stickers ARE required on the CLUB FACE (not the ball) to capture club data. So: balls =
Mounting
Portable / floor-standing on the GROUND in front of the tee, on the side opposite the golfer (Foresight: "Monitor Position: Ground — Front of tee opposite golfer"). Not behind the ball, not overhead. Tripod-mountable for outdoor/range alignment, but indoors it sits on the floor by the hitting area.
