| 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. | Current SkyTrak flagship — adds GOLFTEC speed training, dual USB-C, and a faster processor over the SkyTrak+, which most reviewers call not worth the extra $1,000. |
