Highlighted rows differ. Figures come from each product's sources; room depth, distances and brightness are FOREference calculations using the same method for both.
Which should you choose?
SkyTrak ST MAX
Choose the SkyTrak ST MAX if you want club delivery data (path, face, loft) or price leads the decision ($1,304 less).
TruGolf Launch Box
Choose the TruGolf Launch Box if you prefer its maker, seller or ecosystem — the published figures do not favour it.
Before you buy either
- Check the room: room size calculator and ceiling height calculator.
- Confirm what each seller includes — accessories, software trials and bundles change often.
- Read the limitations on each full reference page.
