GCHawk - The basics
The GCHawk is Foresight Sports’ ceiling-mounted launch monitor, designed for high-end indoor golf simulators and commercial setups. It uses the same Quadrascopic camera technology as the GCQuad but offers a hands-free overhead design, making it ideal for multi-user environments and left/right-handed players without repositioning the unit.
- Hitting Zone: 52" x 30" hitting area supports all clubs, including putter, and both left- and right-handed players.
- Multi-Sport Capability: Tracks soccer performance with the SKill Drill software in addition to golf.
