ST MAX

SkyTrak buyers who want the quickest, most responsive version and value reduced shot delay over saving money.

~$2,995 approx 2026 street price (launched late 2025; sale prices near $2,495)

SkyTrak's late-2025 refinement of the SkyTrak+ keeps the same photometric-plus-dual-radar engine but adds a faster processor that trims shot delay to roughly 1-2 seconds, a hitting zone about 40% larger, dual USB-C, and GOLFTEC-powered speed training. The core accuracy story is unchanged from the SkyTrak+, so this is an experience upgrade (quicker feedback, less waiting between shots) rather than a data leap. Several reviewers note the older SkyTrak+ remains a smart-money alternative when it is discounted. Buy the MAX for the snappier feel; buy the + to save.

Common questions

What is actually new on the ST MAX versus the SkyTrak+?
A faster processor with shorter shot delay (about 1-2 seconds), a roughly 40% larger hitting zone, dual USB-C ports, and GOLFTEC-powered speed training. The underlying ball-and-club accuracy is the same.
Should I buy the ST MAX or the cheaper SkyTrak+?
Buy the MAX if quicker shot-to-shot feedback and the larger hitting zone matter to you. If you can find the SkyTrak+ discounted, it delivers the same data accuracy for less.
