So, Foresight Sports took their GCQuad launch monitor, which was already a big deal, and made it even better with the QuadMAX. It still uses the same four-camera system but has some extras, more info, and is easier to use. I had to try it out to see if it was a real upgrade or just the same old thing in new packaging. Turns out, it’s way more than just an upgrade—it’s a total redo of what a portable launch monitor can do.
First thing you notice is the touchscreen. Unlike the GCQuad, where you needed other devices to see your data, the QuadMAX shows everything right there. And it’s not just numbers, you can change it up. You can set up MyTiles to put the data you care about most where you want it. If you want quick access to club path and face angle but not spin axis, you can set it up that way. It’s small, but it makes a big difference.
One of the best things about the QuadMAX is that it can track swing speed without hitting a ball. So, you can use it for speed training, which is getting popular with golfers who want more distance. Before, you had to hit a ball to get swing speed data, but now you can just practice swing. If you use SuperSpeed Golf training sticks, this feature alone might make the QuadMAX worth it.
Accuracy has never been a problem with Foresight Sports launch monitors, and the QuadMAX is as accurate as they come. The GCQuad was already super accurate, and the QuadMAX makes it even better by adding more ball data. Now you get Ball Apex, Ball Descent Angle, and Ball Offline measurements, which give you a clearer of ball flight and dispersion. When I tested it with other monitors like TrackMan and the GCQuad, the QuadMAX was dead-on. If you’ve seen a PGA Tour driving range, you’ve probably seen these devices behind the players. There’s a reason they trust them.
The QuadMAX is also more portable now. The battery lasts longer, so you don’t have to stop as much during practice. The new handle makes it easier to carry, and it feels even more sturdy. Whether you’re at the range, in a simulator, or on the course, the QuadMAX can handle it.
It also works well with software. The QuadMAX works with simulator platforms like FSX Play, FSX 2020, GSPro, and E6 Connect. Whether you want data-driven practice or a course simulation, this launch monitor can do it. The virtual driving range and coaching tools in FSX Play makes it feel like a personal golf lab, while GSPro and E6 Connect let you play some of the best courses anywhere.
Compared to other Foresight Sports launch monitors, the QuadMAX is the best for portability. The GC3 is still good if you don’t need putting data, and the GCQuad is great for pros. The Falcon and GCHawk are awesome for indoor simulators, but if you want accuracy in a portable package, the QuadMAX is the way to go.
Basically, the QuadMAX isn’t just a GCQuad replacement—it’s a totally different kind of portable launch monitor. With a touchscreen, swing speed tracking (no ball needed), lots of data, and better portability, it’s one of the most complete launch monitors out there. If you’re a serious golfer, coach, or simulator fan, this launch monitor has what you need.
