Just ordered mine today. It's supposed to ship this month. Can't wait. No discounts for the equipment, but your discount will be helping me get some courses added later. I went with the Players Package and 20 courses. Can't wait. So excited!
This is awesome..I ordered my Sim in a Box Eagle Plus Package with the GC3...They had it to me 6 days later...couldnt be happier with everything so far👍
Thanks for your review and insight on the GC3, this is my first home simulator and I am super excited about what this system has to offer! You are the only person who has done an in-depth review of the system and I learned a few things. Thanks again and I hope you do more videos on the GC3!
I was able to grab a Bushnell Launch Pro on launch so I took the bite - glad they added the complete software unlock without subscription so the Launch Pro and GC# are the EXACT SAME!
I know a lot has changed with the Bushnell launch pro, from cost of device, cost of subscriptions, something about GSPro? Can you do an update on everything? Thanks
I actually have only really covered gc3 since that is the unit I have but I can really do the same since the hardware is identical. Let me work on it. Thanks for commenting
Just got mine. Love it. Couple of things. If you want to get it fast you can buy course add ons and you can get it quickly. I think it was an additional 1500 for 10 courses (additional). Have had a hard time connecting via wireless so I been using the USB cord. Also, the busnell can be subscribed with a lifetime software as well for additional 4K. So in theory it comes in at the same cost as the FS one. Also, the FS rep told me that we will get a free upgrade to the new software when launched.
I got one and it’s just ok to me as of now. I also only have the basic subscription, so not sure what to make of it. If was to have the gold, May be more impressive but that’s kind of expensive to me. The basic subscription said it came with a 3-D range but apparently it’s only a 2-D range, which is less than impressive for $3500.
You must be referring to the Bushnell launch pro vs gc3. That is the price you pay and it’s offset with the subscription model. You could look at connecting gspro which is really common.
Jay, great content as always. It is very frustrating that Canada get no choice on the Bushnell Launch Pro and only option is to purchase the GC3. Originally I didn't think the subscription model was worthwhile, but with how fast technology is moving and not needing all the features of a gold subscription, the Launch Pro seemed a great option for the next 3-5 years. I was just about to tear down my existing setup and model it around the Launch Pro only to find Canada are no better off than than the rest of the world. Poor show Bushnell! Maybe they have a plan to line up with FSX Play being bundled, that would be the perfect solution but it remains super frustrating to have to wait for these offerings to make sense or even be available to purchase. Your channel is great btw, just a rant that I'm sure others on this forum feel.
As usual the best review on RUclips! Great content - Question: How durable is the unit? Specifically in the context of commercial application, when you have golfers of all skill levels using in in an indoor club and bar setting - There will be many a person toe-ing the ball into the unit... anywhere you can suggest we can get protective enclosure for the unit and/or GC QUAD?
They said you will get the club data for putter with 1 dot but not face angle etc. just like the other clubs. I had 3 stickers on for my gcquad and sounds like a programing thing they were fixing.
Hi, I’m confused about the battery. At about 7:35 you said the GC3 has a permanent, non-removable battery. Then about 30 seconds later it seems like you said I could send the unit to Foresight if I have a problem with the battery. I saw online that the owners manual says, “Battery to be replaced only by a service professional.” So I assume by “permanent, non-removable” you actually meant that the battery isn’t changeable by the end-user, but it is changeable by Foresight. Is my understanding correct?
Great video thank you very much! I just purchased one and should have it in 3 weeks. I had the Mevo + and really disliked how it reads the ball when you sim. This is a huge improvement and you did a great job answering most of ?s. I'll check out your actual 9 hole video.
Woah! Shocked to see the clubhead info with the putter. Did you say your licenses between the quad and GC3 are linked or no? If so maybe that has something to do with it
Seriously thinking another getting ths Bushnell version to hit on the range. Dont have the room for an indoor Sim setup but love the idea of having the option if I get some room.
Great video! Was always looking to purchase a quad for at home but the introduction of the new GC3 has me thinking I get that instead. I am curious about accuracy from the GC3 compared to quad. Anyway we could see a video comparing drivers/wedges on both units. Thanks for the great content!
You actually can't run them simultaneously I tried it. They must interfere someway. But it's already been benchmarked and stacks right up. Foresight basically made sure the data was comparable.
Great video as always! I'm pretty new so would benefit from a tutorial on all the various components used in Sim golfing. Do you have a video that explains the various components and which ones come packaged together versus needing to buy separately? From what I gather so far you have: launch monitor, screen, projector, practice enclosure, hitting surface, software for various things like: sim courses, replicas of real courses, driving range, putting, online group play. Maybe I missed a few also? Thanks
I just got into the sim game myself and learned that it can be quite the rabbit hole with so many options out there. I was able to get a pretty sweet setup that doesn’t break the bank with SkyTrak in this overview video I made that goes over each product in detail. I have a Launch Pro on order that will be replacing my SkyTrak. ruclips.net/video/cADE-QSq5Sc/видео.html
Great video. I’m looking to pick this up soon. Where did you get your mats. I’m not a fan of the ones that the sim in a box comes with. I like the look of your mat setup
my bud bought this for this winter. while its fun we have found a ton of issues. launch pro. short putts seem fast, long putts extremely slow,(easy to get used to but odd), hole preview will say 173 yards par 4 or par 4 573. so odd and incorrect. but really surprising is short carry driver numbers for everyone. one thing ive noticed for sure is spin seems off. i can nut a tsr2 dead middle of face launch 13 and lp reporting spin 1000. 1200. no way when hitting a good shot can a tsr2 head launch at 13 go 260 carry and have a 1000 spin. do we have a lighting issue, need special balls? add stickers? also i have a bud that is 175 ss, he is a beast, on foresight hes carrying 270 if lucky. weird. by the way i have years of gc2 experience and trackman, these number on lp dont make sense.
Looks like an amazing device. 1. The bushell instructions imply the alignment aid works the same as gcquad. 2. Fs need to patch FSX to support the gc3 putting, it made a dogs dinner of reading your putter with three dots and the data looked garbage.
According to the instructions I read, you go into alignment then lay the stick down. The putter data in sure was off I had the wrong dots configuration as I mentioned.
That's not the plan. I can ask but it's made for 1 dot. Path only. Not sure what is going on with the putting. I didn't even know it was going to provide and putter club data. They told me path only. I had dots for quad on my putter.
Thank you. This is an awesome video and answered most of my questions. The only thing I'd wonder is the accuracy verses a Quad. I do plan on using it as a training aid in my garage. I'm currently using a SwingCaddie and it's not accurate at all probably because of my hitting space.
Thank you for another excellent video! I would be interested to know whether the GC3 can be connected to an iPad and an iPhone at the same time? On the iPad the data from the GC3 is displayed and with the iPhone the swing is recorded at the same time?
I have searched for months, but can't find the result anywhere. Every video clip on youtube compares Bushnell Launch Pro to Trackman and GC Quard indoor, and yes, it is on par with those. The thing is nobody compares bushnell data to real ball flight. Such as, if the ball fly 3 degree to the left, does bushnell show 3 degree to the left? If ball flight has a draw, does bushness also show a draw. I had Skytrack, distance and backspin are all about correct, but the direction that skytrack shows can be off quite a bit. Would you please take Bushnell on the range outdoor and compare the data to real ball flight? If confirm good, I will buy Bushnell.
Indoor/Outdoor Hello jay, GC3 spec. on the Foresight page said it doesn't have blue tooth. Is this true or false or recent upgrade? Otherwise great video review on the unit. Thanks, Craig
Great vid, but Foresight's first product was the game changer. It was definitely named correctly at the time, but GC2 especially with HMT brought it forward by quantum leaps just as GC3 will for home LM. Wish it did putting but other than that I'm stoked for mine to arrive.
Great video, I’m really interested in this product, would love full club head data but can’t justify the cost of GCQuad. In terms of the path data, is this relative to target because it does not measure club face? If so can you start to determine face to path with ball launch direction? I want to upgrade from my SkyTrak to get better club head data around face and path but without the cost of Quad. Many thanks
Love the video! Was wondering, I only have a net, so I imagine I can run the gc3 through a big screen TV and laptop? Until I can afford a projector and screen😀
Here in Canada the GC3 is $12390, for the total package with everything unlocked and all the course, But it's $14220 for quad all in, would it be worth the $2000 or so more at this point to just get the quad ?
Hi great video! If you buy the unlocked version or the gold subscription do you have to buy the FX software or is it included? If is not what software come with the unit and what are the diferences from the FX you demonstrated? tks a lot
Off my hip, I think exact and follow. My PC is way overboard just due to 4k for the channel videos. It is a custom desktop with i9 10980, RTX 3090, 128GB ram, and 2 TB m.2
Thanks for sharing. I have 15” depth in my room. How much bounces from the screen you face when you hit balls? Do u think I can make SIM like yours in my room? Thanks. I have 10ft ceiling.
Have you tried to use yours on the range and connect your iPad FSX Pro to the GC3, without being on your home WiFi? For me it is extremely buggy. I have to reboot both ipad and GC3 to establish a connection between unit and iPad. It still does not connect to the iPhone app. It is an amazing device and super accurate otherwise.
GC3 or QED? I’m not planning on bringing a photometric monitor to the range. Trying to figure out what the pros and cons are (other than the obvious that one is bolted to the ceiling lol). Thanks!
Yeah I am more of a one and done buyer. I do not want to deal with that but I totally get it for someone that wants to get the data now for less. Kind of like a financing options.
FYI, BLP now has an option to purchase the fully unlocked software for $4k as a one time fee vs. $800 per year (which basically gets you the same thing as the GC for the same price).
I have my gaming PC setup in my garage via Ethernet cord because my Wi-Fi signal isn’t that strong. Will I be able to use the GC3 without having to hook it up via Ethernet cord ? Thanks
Hey. Was there ever a Trackman/GC3 driver comparison anywhere on the channel? I read about it on one of your shorts videos. It would be very interesting to see. Most of all what would you consider to be equal smash/efficiency in those? I've tried gc3 once, I felt I had around 1.45 at best with "same" hit as 1.50 in trackman. Any experience there?
I’ve been waiting for a video like this on the GC3. I’m looking to purchase a launch monitor and build my home sim. I’m looking at the uneekor eyexo or the CC3, any thoughts on one over the other. Keep up the great videos
Both are great choices. Besides portability EYEXO - gives you more clubface data such as club impact, dynamic loft, and face to path. 3rd party simulation is allowed in EYEXO and GC3 at this moment is unknown with 3rd party software and has limited club data but it's also 3K cheaper.
Hey nice video, i thinking about one of these. I dont need a simulation software because i already have one but can i use just this range software for free?
When you swing a 7 iron on this system…how much backspin are you usually getting? I have one and I’m just wondering if my backspin is in the normal range …it’s around 5000 rpm
@@GolfSimulatorVideos I looked at Couer D'alene also. Played it in person and played it 1000x on TW02-05. I bought Pitch and Putt as I practice wedges by far the most of anything I hit and have been happy with it.
You know what is funny!? I did not even look lol. I literally made this video in under an hour from unboxing to finish. I just grabbed a gcquad sticker I had out already. I will check though. Thanks for waching!
Kind of frustrating that it was giving the full range of club data when it first came out before they updated the firmware and took it away. I mean it’s obvious that cameras that take pictures at 10,000 fps can accurately capture a clubhead moving 3 mph. Mine was recording face angle and strike location at the beginning just like yours, but it has since been taken away.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos Mine was reading on other clubs as well, and seemed to be pretty accurate given the other measured metrics. I looked at the underlying data files stored on my computer and I can see that there was a number in the data file when it was reading it and it is replaced with X's now. It almost definitely can measure it, but is blocked for obvious reasons.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos By the way, what makes you say the data was way off? Other than the one putt, it seems pretty much in line with the numbers you get from GCQuad and Exputt in your other videos and matches up to the way the ball ended up rolling.
Stefan, I looked at it this way...I bought the Bushnell and went with the Silver package ($399 per year). That will allow a great simulator experience for me (and 3 friends) and the break even cost, vs buying the unlocked GC3, is 10 years! Surely the technology will become cheaper and better over the next 10 years and I will probably have upgraded to another device by then!
Has anyone heard if they may release a Head Measurement Tracker (HMT) add-on for the GC3 in the future that would add measurements for face angle, loft & lie at impact, impact location, and closure rate? I believe this currently requires 4-dots on the club face with both the GC2 and GC4 to get those measurements.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos Thank you for your quick response. That would make sense. On another note, I love that the ball flight tracker starts on the screen at the position where the ball hits the screen. I believe that GCQuad does the same thing. Keep the videos coming.
Just head to projectorcentral and use the throw calculator. It will let you select 16:9 and mess with screen sizes and even put in projectors to see the location for the throw etc. Thanks for watching
Jay - I just noticed the hitting/ball placement rectangle area when shown on the screen is rotated 90 degrees to the left from what I would expect. If you think of the perspective it is showing on the screen, I would expect moving the ball toward the GC3 would move it right, but it moves it up on the screen instead. Am I seeing that right? Seems counterintuitive. Am I missing something or is there some reason they did it that way? Assume it is an FSX thing, not a GC3 thing?
If you have it offset, do you still align straightforward or do you angle it towards the center of your screen? Have had an ST and it's offset but we just aim straight with alignment stick and not towards the actually target on screen?
My G3 just came last night and I’ve been spending all day trying to set up the software on my laptop but my question I should I be using a PC? Because on the range my ball flight reading once I hit a shot is so choppy and taking forever to get to the final distance. I’ve contacted support and feel like I’ve tried everything to get a real time hit instead of delayed and slow graphics
Meevo+ just announced the pro package and they made it a hard decision for me to choose between saving for the GC3 or just save the money and go with the meevo+ with pro package. The Bushnell Launch Pro is also enticing (except that dang subscription). What's your quick take? Also, is the GC3 available right away? I just missed yesterday's preorder for the Bushnell Launch Pro.
I'm definitely going to test Mevo+. But the fact that I TrackMan 4 can be off indoor I would be shocked Mevo+ could be this precise. I mean if it gives a good estimate there is good value there. Just have to see. Thanks for watching!
I missed that second part. I like the unlocked gc3, just one and done. Shoot me an email and I can introduce you to the sales director and check GC3 shipping status. a98cr125@gmail.com
@@GolfSimulatorVideos we got some optimism regarding GsPro and the Mevo+ yesterday so I think for basic sim play the Mevo plus is a great value even without the pro package. Hopefully, the fusion tracking tightens up the short game even more than the last firmware update did. GC3 is awesome though. Thanks for the video!
Can you tell me where to find those tech specs like 1/100,000 of a second etc. in writing. Can't find that anywhere. I own the GC3 so I know it's awesome but want to find out these details on the net somewhere.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos Okay no worries. I will be happy with the incredible results I'm getting on all clubs. Too much good going on with this system in my garage! WOW.
This is going to be superior to skytrak for several reasons. First keep in mind $1999 vs $7500. But it actually measures the club data it is puting out, it has nearly no delay, it has a big hitting area vs the SkyTrak dot placement, it sits further away from the ball, it has a build in screen, it is made for outdoors too, plus has a higher level of accuracy and can read fast driver with no misses.
I usually play tgc2019 on skytrak and would like to upgrade. Afaik there is no option to play tgc, but I really like the community and to play online tournaments. Is there anything comparable on foresight?
@@GolfSimulatorVideos ok, will takr some time anyway until this is avalable to europe, so this winter season will still be skytrak and tgc. Skytrak is ok for its price, but it gets annoying when you try to play competitive...
@@GolfSimulatorVideos So if my net is only 3-4 ft away, or if I want to practice putting indoors and putt up against the wall from a couple feet away I am still able to use this? That's pretty awesome. I have a super tight space in my backyard or garage that I could use it.
@@mattperrault8932 as I stated, it doesn't need flight, it is only reading about less than 18 inches or so of flight or roll. As long as you are safe you are good.
It’s really not up to gc3, it’s up to whichever software you want to run. They have iOS apps like fsx pro. Then PC software like Pro, 2020, and Play. 3070ti or above are recommended depending on your resolution you will run 1080, 4k etc. Other software you can run like GSPRO have their own minimum specs as well

I would be interested to know whether the GC3 can be connected to an iPad and an iPhone at the same time? On the iPad the data from the GC3 is displayed and with the iPhone the swing is recorded at the same time?
I have not tried this but I will. 👍
I have searched for months, but can't find the result anywhere. Every video clip on youtube compares Bushnell Launch Pro to Trackman and GC Quard indoor, and yes, it is on par with those. The thing is nobody compares bushnell data to real ball flight. Such as, if the ball fly 3 degree to the left, does bushnell show 3 degree to the left? If ball flight has a draw, does bushness also show a draw. I had Skytrack, distance and backspin are all about correct, but the direction that skytrack shows can be off quite a bit. Would you please take Bushnell on the range outdoor and compare the data to real ball flight? If confirm good, I will buy Bushnell.
Hi
Thank you for the video. Have you tried putting the dots on your iron to see what it reads?
Not yet. Literally did this video at night directly after unboxing and posted the next morning haha :)
thanks it was very helpful... cant wait to get my gc3 in the mail
Thanks for watching
Do you know, and can you show the difference between the Foresight premium courses and the standard courses....thanks
Premium is just because those courses require licensing. Graphics are the same.
Indoor/Outdoor
Hello jay,
GC3 spec. on the Foresight page said it doesn't have blue tooth. Is this true or false or recent upgrade? Otherwise great video review on the unit.
Thanks, Craig
Very interesting, the putter was picking up loft and face angle
Yeah from what I was told it DOES provide putting club data but I think only path but going to verify it all.
Great vid, but Foresight's first product was the game changer. It was definitely named correctly at the time, but GC2 especially with HMT brought it forward by quantum leaps just as GC3 will for home LM. Wish it did putting but other than that I'm stoked for mine to arrive.
Hi Jacob, It does putting? I demonstrate it in the video.
Any idea yet on what we’re supposed to see for putting? 3 dots are working on my GC3 as well. Hoping it sticks around.
I was told path. I didn't think it was going to do any putting so had my GCQUAD dots on there.
Great vid. We won’t get these in Europe until next year.
It would be interesting to see a direct comparison with GCQuad.
I do plan on seeing if that can be done easily. Thanks for watching!
Great video, I’m really interested in this product, would love full club head data but can’t justify the cost of GCQuad. In terms of the path data, is this relative to target because it does not measure club face? If so can you start to determine face to path with ball launch direction? I want to upgrade from my SkyTrak to get better club head data around face and path but without the cost of Quad. Many thanks
Yeah this really provides a lot to work with.
Thanks for the review, I have the GC2 do you know if they will have a trade in or upgrade program in place. thanks again
I'm not aware of one yet but I would contact them and inquire for sure.
The CC3 doesn't get impact data or does? I didn't think it did, but watching this, I thought it did. I own an X3 flightscope
No it does not. Thanks for watching
Love the video! Was wondering, I only have a net, so I imagine I can run the gc3 through a big screen TV and laptop? Until I can afford a projector and screen😀
Absolutely. This is very common and makes it much more affordable. Feel free to email me for more info. a98cr125@gmail.com
So compared to gc quad for a casual user ? Best save more and purchase the more expensive unit ?
Here in Canada the GC3 is $12390, for the total package with everything unlocked and all the course, But it's $14220 for quad all in, would it be worth the $2000 or so more at this point to just get the quad ?
If you have the budget GCQUAD is great. I do find the step up worth it based on what I use. But every user has their own preferences and needs.
Hi great video! If you buy the unlocked version or the gold subscription do you have to buy the FX software or is it included? If is not what software come with the unit and what are the diferences from the FX you demonstrated? tks a lot
I have not confirmed that specifically, but I believe yes the Bushnell unlocked license is basically what comes with Gc3.
What are your settings for ball tracking and camera angle etc? What pc specs are you using?
Off my hip, I think exact and follow. My PC is way overboard just due to 4k for the channel videos. It is a custom desktop with i9 10980, RTX 3090, 128GB ram, and 2 TB m.2
Have you been able to confirm if putting analysis is possible?
Not yet, you can get putting ball data as well as putting path but not sure on other abilities at this time.
What are your thoughts of the GC3 versus GC Quad? You do get more club data with the GC Quad but is it worth the extra money?
It is really only necessary for instructors, fitters etc. Gc3 is a great unit for most.
Great video as always Jay! If GC3 can measure one dot club data on putter, will it also provide AoA other than club path?
I need to verify all points. But putter path for sure 💯
Thanks for sharing. I have 15” depth in my room. How much bounces from the screen you face when you hit balls? Do u think I can make SIM like yours in my room? Thanks. I have 10ft ceiling.
I know a lot of people that are in 15ft or so and it would well for them. It's all about your setup.
Have you tried to use yours on the range and connect your iPad FSX Pro to the GC3, without being on your home WiFi? For me it is extremely buggy. I have to reboot both ipad and GC3 to establish a connection between unit and iPad. It still does not connect to the iPhone app. It is an amazing device and super accurate otherwise.
GC3 or QED? I’m not planning on bringing a photometric monitor to the range. Trying to figure out what the pros and cons are (other than the obvious that one is bolted to the ceiling lol). Thanks!
Email me and it will be easier. Too many things to just comment. Many differences.
Thanks for the video.The GC3 seems the way to go versus the subscription based BLP.
Yeah I am more of a one and done buyer. I do not want to deal with that but I totally get it for someone that wants to get the data now for less. Kind of like a financing options.
BTW, thanks for watching!
FYI, BLP now has an option to purchase the fully unlocked software for $4k as a one time fee vs. $800 per year (which basically gets you the same thing as the GC for the same price).
I have my gaming PC setup in my garage via Ethernet cord because my Wi-Fi signal isn’t that strong. Will I be able to use the GC3 without having to hook it up via Ethernet cord ? Thanks
Yes there are offline modes you can use in some software after activation is done using internet
Hey. Was there ever a Trackman/GC3 driver comparison anywhere on the channel? I read about it on one of your shorts videos. It would be very interesting to see. Most of all what would you consider to be equal smash/efficiency in those? I've tried gc3 once, I felt I had around 1.45 at best with "same" hit as 1.50 in trackman. Any experience there?
I’ve been waiting for a video like this on the GC3. I’m looking to purchase a launch monitor and build my home sim. I’m looking at the uneekor eyexo or the CC3, any thoughts on one over the other. Keep up the great videos
Both are great choices. Besides portability EYEXO - gives you more clubface data such as club impact, dynamic loft, and face to path. 3rd party simulation is allowed in EYEXO and GC3 at this moment is unknown with 3rd party software and has limited club data but it's also 3K cheaper.
Hey nice video, i thinking about one of these. I dont need a simulation software because i already have one but can i use just this range software for free?
It comes packaged with the FSX software. You can't use other software at this time.
When you swing a 7 iron on this system…how much backspin are you usually getting? I have one and I’m just wondering if my backspin is in the normal range …it’s around 5000 rpm
Mine can range 6000-7000. 5000 is a little low. Could just be the strike or your loft or ball. Many things can attribute to it.
You got some recommendations for courses to buy? Been looking at Oakmont, possibly one of their packages like Best Sellers or Staff Picks.
That is a tough one, they are all very different. A few of my favorites are Abu Dhabi, Egypt Valley, Emirates, Wentworth, and Coeur d'Alene
@@GolfSimulatorVideos I looked at Couer D'alene also. Played it in person and played it 1000x on TW02-05. I bought Pitch and Putt as I practice wedges by far the most of anything I hit and have been happy with it.
Mine is showing up today! It comes with some 1 dot sticker in the box right? lol
You know what is funny!? I did not even look lol. I literally made this video in under an hour from unboxing to finish. I just grabbed a gcquad sticker I had out already. I will check though. Thanks for waching!
I love how accurate this machine is specially at 31:24 mins "Too many balls Detected" LOL
What are your thoughts about the backspn data? Seems to me an 8 iron should be spinning at more than 5480 rpm.
Spin is great. Understand every golfer, ball, and club spins differently. Thanks for watching
Spin is great. Understand every golfer, ball, and club spins differently. Thanks for watching
So is the GC3 artificially software limited or do you really need the quad’s 4 cameras to get the full club data?
How much is the GC3 club head data add-on? I'm in Ontario, Canada.
Shoot me an email I can get you connected in Canada. a98cr125@gmail.com
Jay, does the display have a backlight. Like the quad and the gc2 ?
Yes it does. Thanks for watching
Kind of frustrating that it was giving the full range of club data when it first came out before they updated the firmware and took it away. I mean it’s obvious that cameras that take pictures at 10,000 fps can accurately capture a clubhead moving 3 mph. Mine was recording face angle and strike location at the beginning just like yours, but it has since been taken away.
Mine never was only for putting which was a software issue and you could see the data was way off due to it.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos Mine was reading on other clubs as well, and seemed to be pretty accurate given the other measured metrics. I looked at the underlying data files stored on my computer and I can see that there was a number in the data file when it was reading it and it is replaced with X's now. It almost definitely can measure it, but is blocked for obvious reasons.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos By the way, what makes you say the data was way off? Other than the one putt, it seems pretty much in line with the numbers you get from GCQuad and Exputt in your other videos and matches up to the way the ball ended up rolling.
If you get the Bushnell with the gold subscription, is it the same as the GC3? So brake even is at about 4.5 years?
Yes same exact hardware. So yes either pay all now or pay later and potentially more if you keep the subscription going.
Stefan, I looked at it this way...I bought the Bushnell and went with the Silver package ($399 per year). That will allow a great simulator experience for me (and 3 friends) and the break even cost, vs buying the unlocked GC3, is 10 years! Surely the technology will become cheaper and better over the next 10 years and I will probably have upgraded to another device by then!
Has anyone heard if they may release a Head Measurement Tracker (HMT) add-on for the GC3 in the future that would add measurements for face angle, loft & lie at impact, impact location, and closure rate? I believe this currently requires 4-dots on the club face with both the GC2 and GC4 to get those measurements.
No sign of that at this time. I think the goal would probably be to make quad that option.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos Thank you for your quick response. That would make sense.
On another note, I love that the ball flight tracker starts on the screen at the position where the ball hits the screen. I believe that GCQuad does the same thing. Keep the videos coming.
@@cthoesen yes that is one of my favorite features! Makes it very Immersive
Will a 10x13 size screen be optimal for a 16:9 ratio?
Just head to projectorcentral and use the throw calculator. It will let you select 16:9 and mess with screen sizes and even put in projectors to see the location for the throw etc. Thanks for watching
Jay - I just noticed the hitting/ball placement rectangle area when shown on the screen is rotated 90 degrees to the left from what I would expect. If you think of the perspective it is showing on the screen, I would expect moving the ball toward the GC3 would move it right, but it moves it up on the screen instead. Am I seeing that right? Seems counterintuitive. Am I missing something or is there some reason they did it that way? Assume it is an FSX thing, not a GC3 thing?
Reported that right away! :)
Appreciate you watching
Excellent will comment again afterwards good job buddy on getting this out to us
Thanks, Karl!!
...you mentioned "2020" software; is this package updated since 2020?
They just released FSX Play. Check out my video on that. It will be available to GC3 soon.
If you have it offset, do you still align straightforward or do you angle it towards the center of your screen? Have had an ST and it's offset but we just aim straight with alignment stick and not towards the actually target on screen?
Straight ahead.
My G3 just came last night and I’ve been spending all day trying to set up the software on my laptop but my question I should I be using a PC? Because on the range my ball flight reading once I hit a shot is so choppy and taking forever to get to the final distance. I’ve contacted support and feel like I’ve tried everything to get a real time hit instead of delayed and slow graphics
Is there any minimum distance to the screen for the GC3. I have limited space and therefore only 2 meters ball flight to the screen.
No, just whatever necessary to safely swing etc. It only needs about 1-2ft of ball flight!
Meevo+ just announced the pro package and they made it a hard decision for me to choose between saving for the GC3 or just save the money and go with the meevo+ with pro package. The Bushnell Launch Pro is also enticing (except that dang subscription). What's your quick take? Also, is the GC3 available right away? I just missed yesterday's preorder for the Bushnell Launch Pro.
I'm definitely going to test Mevo+. But the fact that I TrackMan 4 can be off indoor I would be shocked Mevo+ could be this precise. I mean if it gives a good estimate there is good value there. Just have to see. Thanks for watching!
I missed that second part. I like the unlocked gc3, just one and done. Shoot me an email and I can introduce you to the sales director and check GC3 shipping status. a98cr125@gmail.com
@@GolfSimulatorVideos we got some optimism regarding GsPro and the Mevo+ yesterday so I think for basic sim play the Mevo plus is a great value even without the pro package. Hopefully, the fusion tracking tightens up the short game even more than the last firmware update did. GC3 is awesome though. Thanks for the video!
Bushnell now has a lifetime subscription option so it's the same all in as a GC3. The difference is the name on the unit and perhaps availability.
@@tchomicz1992 yeah same hardware.
Does it say what the minimum operating temperature is? Curious about outdoor winter use
That's a great question. I would not doubt it can handle some pretty low temperatures but I will look into that.
Do you know when they plan to release these in Canada
Yes they just had units show up at foresight Canada
Thanks for all the specifics! #justUnderstand! 😜
Chipping and putting? WTF?
@@CoryLancasterYT 😂
How did you get the grass to fly off the ground when you hit an iron? What setting is that?
No special setting that is part of the graphics. Unless it might only go on if on Full Graphics. But mine always shows that.
Can you tell me where to find those tech specs like 1/100,000 of a second etc. in writing. Can't find that anywhere. I own the GC3 so I know it's awesome but want to find out these details on the net somewhere.
All the specs I discussed were just direct from a lead engineer. I don't think they have them posted anywhere.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos Okay no worries. I will be happy with the incredible results I'm getting on all clubs. Too much good going on with this system in my garage! WOW.
Is there a good way to get an idea of your face to target since the G3 does not give you that data?
Are dots easy to remove and are they allowed in tournaments. Thanks
How do you think this stacks up to skytrak for home simulation?
This is going to be superior to skytrak for several reasons. First keep in mind $1999 vs $7500. But it actually measures the club data it is puting out, it has nearly no delay, it has a big hitting area vs the SkyTrak dot placement, it sits further away from the ball, it has a build in screen, it is made for outdoors too, plus has a higher level of accuracy and can read fast driver with no misses.
I usually play tgc2019 on skytrak and would like to upgrade. Afaik there is no option to play tgc, but I really like the community and to play online tournaments. Is there anything comparable on foresight?
FSX play is coming and I think will have it all but still under development
@@GolfSimulatorVideos ok, will takr some time anyway until this is avalable to europe, so this winter season will still be skytrak and tgc. Skytrak is ok for its price, but it gets annoying when you try to play competitive...
Do you know if there is a plan in near future to integrate with E6 Connect?
No Bluetooth on GC3 or Launch Pro!! Just thought you'd like your subscribers to know. Good review
What screen are you using? It’s looks mega bright and tight? The one Im looking at looks like wrinkles on the side. Any help please
Do you know if the Bushnell model can connect to gspro and tgc 2019?
They are not officially supported at this time. Thanks for watching!
did you find that the ball was'nt bouncing at all after each shot, look kinda weird to me
I had greens set to soft, but there is bounce just not much. You can adjust all of that. Thanks for watching!
What's the minimum distance from a net do I have to hit from? I'm not sure if you said it or I just missed it.
The beauty of this camera system, there is no minimum! Basically if you can safely swing!
@@GolfSimulatorVideos So if my net is only 3-4 ft away, or if I want to practice putting indoors and putt up against the wall from a couple feet away I am still able to use this? That's pretty awesome. I have a super tight space in my backyard or garage that I could use it.
@@mattperrault8932 as I stated, it doesn't need flight, it is only reading about less than 18 inches or so of flight or roll. As long as you are safe you are good.
I like how he knelled down in front of the cameras and it immediately said to many balls detected.
LOL, I did catch that when uploading.
Really wanner know, Bushnell Launch Pro & gc3 is the same thing???
Yes same exact hardware. Bushnell just offers the subscription model of pricing.
Will foresight be able to play TGC2019?
What computer specs are required to run GC3? Thanks!
It’s really not up to gc3, it’s up to whichever software you want to run. They have iOS apps like fsx pro. Then PC software like Pro, 2020, and Play. 3070ti or above are recommended depending on your resolution you will run 1080, 4k etc. Other software you can run like GSPRO have their own minimum specs as well
