Foresight Launches GC2, a $1,699 Camera-Based Launch Monitor

Foresight Sports has introduced the GC2, a $1,699 launch monitor that brings camera-based ball tracking to its lowest price point yet. Pre-sales are open now, with a full retail launch set for October 12.

How does the GC2 track ball data?

Unlike radar-based monitors that estimate flight data through an algorithm, the GC2 uses two high-speed cameras to physically capture the ball at the moment of impact. Foresight says that approach is what has made its higher-end units, including the GCQuad and QuadMAX, a fixture on professional driving ranges.

The device measures launch angle, ball speed, launch direction and carry distance, along with total spin, backspin, sidespin and tilt axis. It does not report detailed club data, a feature Foresight reserves for its more expensive models. A built-in screen faces the golfer directly, so results can be read without a connected phone, tablet or computer, though the GC2 also connects over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ethernet or USB-C.

Where does the GC2 fit in Foresight's lineup?

The GC3 starts at $6,999, while the tour-validated GCQuad and QuadMAX run $15,999 and $19,999. Built for indoor and outdoor use, the GC2 gives golfers Foresight's camera-based tracking at roughly a quarter of the GC3's price.

The GC2 brings Foresight's camera-based tracking to a price point a quarter of its previous entry-level model.

"From the professional game to the elite amateurs, we've seen firsthand how access to trusted data unlocks performance," said Tim Tiel, Foresight Sports' director of marketing operations. "The GC2 brings that same data to every golfer, so they can practice with confidence and turn precision into better play on the course."

The GC2 ships with a 30-day free trial of Foresight+, the company's connected simulator software, letting buyers test the platform before subscribing.
