Can a SkyTrak launch monitor connect to GSPro?

Name: SkyTrak
Brand: SkyTrak

Yes, using the Springbok connector, and multiple players have gotten it working successfully. SkyTrak's manufacturer has publicly stated it wants to block GSPro compatibility, but as of now it has not been able to prevent this workaround. Putting performance through this connection has not been confirmed as reliable, so test it before relying on it.

The fine print

Mandatory annual subscription ($99.99+) for sim features. Hitting zone ~2 in x 2 in requires precise ball placement. Third-party software support (E6, TGC, GSPro) officially discontinued. Paid annual membership required for sim play. Essential ($99.99/yr) enables range and limited courses; Core/Elite add premium libraries.

Specifications

Core Technology

Core Tech TypeCamera

Technology DetailSingle high-speed photometric camera (machine-vision / optical). The manufacturer's product page describes it as a "photometric camera system" (no radar).

Performance Data

Ball Data9 ball-flight metrics: Carry Distance, Total Distance, Ball Speed, Back Spin, Side Spin, Launch Angle, Side Angle, Descent (Landing) Angle, and Shot Shape. No directly measured club metrics; only an estimated/approximated club (swing) speed derived from ball data.

Club Datanone, ball data only. The original SkyTrak provides no measured club metrics (no club path, face angle, or attack angle); it can give a close estimate of swing/club speed derived from ball data.

Compatibility

Sim Readiness and Software IncludedWith a paid membership, the original SkyTrak runs SkyTrak's native practice/range, Sim Club, PinSeeker and game-improvement modes plus course play via the membership's Foresight/TrackMan libraries.

Device / PC ReqsBOTH. Runs via the free SkyTrak mobile app (iOS / Android) or SkyTrak PC software (Windows). No onboard display. · Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz only) + USB. No Bluetooth, no Ethernet. Three modes: Direct (Wi-Fi), Network (Wi-Fi), USB (wired).

Subscription CostPaid annual membership required for full simulation / course play. SkyTrak revised its plan structure (the older "Game Improvement ~$99/yr" and "Play & Improve ~$199/yr" tiers are discontinued).

Special Balls/MarkersNo special balls required. Any clean, high-quality golf ball works; high-contrast balls aid the camera. A metallic spin sticker / fiducial is NOT needed (camera-based, sticker-free).
