| Verdict | Discontinued and clearing at $1,995 — same core performance as the $2,995 ST MAX, but buy it for SkyTrak's ecosystem, not GSPro. | 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. |
