ST MAX Review: what to know before you buy the ST MAX
The ST MAX has been tested by our team at The Indoor Golf Shop and by our partner at Practical Golf, Jon Sherman. We've come up with a short list of details you should know to help you decided on purchasing the ST MAX launch monitor. You can also learn more with our overview video for the ST MAX!
The SkyTrak ST MAX is a refresh of the SkyTrak+. The refresh brings new features that help with customer experience and frustrations with past units. One of the biggest complaints with the SkyTrak+ was the singular USB-C cable that could only allow for charging or connection to a computer (not both). The ST MAX features two USB-C ports so you can continue your practice session and keep the unit charged.
A new feature that was introduced by the ST MAX is the exclusive swing speed training. Most golfers know their swing speed as it directly correlates with their shaft flex (faster swing speeds normally utilize stiffer shafts). Swing Speed can be trained an improved which also helps with power and increasing distance with your golf clubs. Jon Sherman with Practical Golf created a full blog on swing speed and why it is important, and how you can use the ST MAX to improve your numbers!
The ST MAX has a starting price of $2,995 and offers multiple subscriptions for simulated course play. SkyTrak has 5 memberships available - Basic Plan (Free), Essential Plan ($129.99 per year), Core Plan: Foresight Sports Software ($299.99 per year), Core Plan: Trackman Software ($349.99 per year), and the Elite Plan: Foresight and Trackman Software (599.99 per year).
Overall the new ST MAX brings a fresher look and feel to SkyTrak's collection of launch monitors, similar pricing, and a better user experience!

Exclusive Speed Training Powered by GOLFTEC
A standout feature exclusive to the ST MAX is its integrated Speed Training powered by GOLFTEC. This innovative tool provides guided drills and measurable insights specifically designed to help golfers build swing speed and unlock greater distance. Whether you're looking to add yards to your drive or improve overall clubhead velocity, these specialized training programs offer a structured approach to enhancing your power. The ST MAX also incorporates a new modular internal design for enhanced stability and features dual USB-C ports, allowing for simultaneous charging and data transfer. This addresses a common limitation, ensuring your device is always ready for action. The unit weighs a mere 1.7 lb, making it highly portable for use at home or at the range. Explore our range of golf mats and golf impact screens to complete your training setup.
Effortless Setup and Optimal Placement
Setting up your SkyTrak ST MAX is straightforward, designed for ease of use in various environments. The unit is placed roughly 12 inches to either side of the tee, making it suitable for tight indoor spaces and ensuring accurate data capture. While the ST MAX itself is compact, the recommended full simulator room dimensions for an optimal experience are a 9-foot ceiling, 14 feet wide, and 18 feet deep. The actual ceiling height needed will depend on the golfer's height and club length to ensure an unobstructed swing. The hitting zone required is a compact 4" x 4", providing flexibility in your setup. The ST MAX needs at least a 10' x 10' unobstructed hitting area to function effectively. For professional assistance with your installation, consider our professional assembly and installation services. You can also explore our golf simulator enclosures for a complete setup.
Seamless Connectivity and Device Compatibility
The SkyTrak ST MAX offers versatile connectivity options, including USB-C and Wi-Fi, ensuring a stable and reliable connection for your practice and play.

Comprehensive Software and Game Improvement Tools
The SkyTrak ST MAX works seamlessly with SkyTrak's own golf simulator software, offering a rich ecosystem for practice and play. The Basic plan is included with your purchase, providing access to a driving range, Sim Club membership, and Pinseeker. For those seeking to further enhance their game, paid annual plans unlock additional practice and game-improvement tools, as well as course play on a variety of courses, including Foresight or Trackman courses. These advanced features include Speed Mode (which doesn't require a ball), Shot Optimizer, skills assessments, bag mapping, randomized practice, and a wedge matrix. While the ST MAX primarily integrates with SkyTrak's software, it offers a robust platform for serious golfers.
The ST MAX runs on SkyTrak’s own golf simulator software. What you can do with it depends on the yearly membership plan you choose, and every plan runs on Windows PCs, Android devices, and Apple Macs and iPads with an M1 chip or newer. The Essential plan ($99.99/year) is built for practice: the SkyTrak Driving Range, Sim Club, PinSeeker, and libraries of practice drills, game evaluations and challenges. Core: Foresight ($299.99/year) adds course play on 50+ Foresight Sports courses, including Pebble Beach. Core: Trackman ($349.99/year) adds 50+ Trackman courses instead, including Bethpage Black and the full Pebble Beach Resort pack. Both Core plans add a new course every month.
