I tested the Foresight Falcon at my brother-in-law’s place in Miami, Florida. I can say right away, this thing is fast. He recently upgraded his home setup from the Uneekor EYE XO to the Falcon, and I was curious to see how it stacked up. I’ve spent a good amount of time with the GCHawk and even own the GCQuad, so I had high expectations. The Falcon, being an overhead-mounted launch monitor, had a lot to prove.
This system is built for serious golfers and those looking for a commercial setup. Right away, the quadrascopic high-speed cameras impressed me. These aren’t just your average launch monitor sensors. This is the same technology found in the GCQuad and GCHawk, and it’s the reason why Foresight dominates the indoor launch monitor game. The Falcon captures ball speed, launch angle, spin, side spin, spin axis, and carry distance with insane accuracy. If you add fiducial stickers, you also get club path, angle of attack, face angle, impact location, closure rate, and smash factor.
What surprised me was the hitting zone. 59 inches wide by 28 inches deep. That’s actually larger than the GCHawk, which I wasn’t expecting. And since this is mounted on the ceiling, it makes switching between left- and right-handed golfers seamless. If you’ve ever used a portable launch monitor, you know how much of a hassle it can be to constantly move the unit when switching players. With the Falcon, you don’t even think about it.
Installation wasn’t too bad, but this is not a DIY project unless you know what you’re doing. My brother-in-law had it professionally mounted about 10 feet high and 4 feet in front of the hitting area, which is the recommended setup. I’d say if you’re getting this for a business or high-end home setup, get professional installation. It’s just safer. The calibration process was simple. Once connected via Ethernet, you just use the Foresight Calibration App to get everything dialed in. It was a one-time setup, and after that, it was ready to go.
The FSX software suite is where this system really shines. FSX Play, FSX 2020, and FSX Pro all worked smoothly, and if you’re serious about simulator golf, you’ll appreciate GSPro and E6 CONNECT compatibility. I tested FSX Play, and the graphics were top-tier, especially at 5K resolution. The course detail was next level, with realistic lighting, 3D textures, and even environmental effects. FSX 2020 was great for skills challenges and club gapping, and FSX Pro is the go-to for detailed shot analytics. My brother-in-law also has Awesome Golf, which is fun for more casual play.
Performance-wise, the Falcon is ridiculously fast. The instant shot feedback is what sets it apart from many other systems. I hit drivers, wedges, and even putts, and there was zero lag. The smash factor, attack angle, and spin readings were dead-on, aligning closely with my GCQuad. One minor issue was that the club data zones are smaller than the ball data zones, so if you want full club tracking, you need to make sure you’re hitting from the right position. Once I adjusted, the impact location tracking was spot on.
At $14,999, it’s still a serious investment, but compared to the $20,000 GCHawk, it makes a lot of sense for those who want pro-level accuracy without spending more than necessary. The only thing missing is multi-sport functionality. The GCHawk has soccer tracking, which isn’t available on the Falcon. That’s not a deal-breaker for most, but if you’re running a commercial setup and want that feature, it’s something to consider.
After testing it all weekend, I can see why people are calling the Falcon the best ceiling-mounted launch monitor for serious golfers. The combination of speed, accuracy, and ease of use makes it a perfect option for businesses or high-end home setups. If you want the best indoor golf experience without dealing with a portable launch monitor, this is the one.
