| Verdict | Discontinued — FlightScope no longer sells it new, and the $299 figure is the certified pre-owned price. A used-market buy only; still practice data, never course play. | Ground-level dual-camera unit on GSPro's official list at $1,500 with zero vendor fees — the open-platform budget pick, though clubhead data is derived, not measured. |
