Spending over $20K on a launch monitor had me questioning my sanity. But after months of research, testing different setups, and talking to people who actually use these things in high-traffic environments, I went all in on the Foresight Sports GCHawk. Now that I’ve had it installed for a while, I can confidently say: this thing is a beast.
What sold me immediately was the overhead design. No more dealing with launch monitors that sit on the floor, constantly needing to be repositioned for left- and right-handed players. With the GCHawk, players just step up, take their shot, and the system automatically detects who’s hitting. That’s a game-changer if you have multiple players or a business setup where you don’t want to waste time adjusting equipment.
Accuracy? Insane. I’ve used a lot of launch monitors, but this one picks up ball speed, spin, launch angle, carry distance, and even putting data with pinpoint precision. Whether I’m launching a driver, dialing in wedges, or just messing around with half-shots, the data is consistent and reliable. No weird misreads. No guessing. Just pure, tour-level accuracy.
I was seriously considering the TruGolf Apogee because of its instant impact tracking, and I even looked at the Foresight Falcon since it’s another elite overhead system. But when I spoke to an owner at The Sports Barn in Missoula, Montana , he made one thing clear: overhead tracking is the best way to keep things moving efficiently. He said, “I can get people in and out.” And that hit me.
With a portable launch monitor , you’re constantly adjusting for different players, making sure alignment is correct, and dealing with occasional misreads. But with an overhead unit like the GCHawk, everything just works. It’s hands-free, automatic, and seamless.
Now that I have it? Zero regrets. It’s ridiculously accurate, smooth, and takes all the hassle out of tracking shots. If you’re looking for a serious launch monitor, whether it’s for a home setup or a business the GCHawk is as good as it gets.
