So you have a spare room or a garage that you’d like to turn into a place to practice and play golf. Great! Maybe you have a little extra room in the budget or you’ve (finally) got the blessing of your spouse. What to do…and how to do it without spending a million dollars? Launch monitors? Mats? Screens? Nets? Where to begin?

Enter the SkyTrak+ Play Now Golf Simulator Studio, Pro Package.

Powered by the new SkyTrak+ launch monitor, the SkyTrak Play Now Golf Simulator Studio, Pro Package offers everything you need to set up your own simulator without breaking the bank. And even better, with SkyTrak’s easy-build frame, you’ll be set up in less than an hour.

What size is your spare room, basement, attic, or garage? Regardless of your answer, there’s a very good chance SkyTrak+ has you covered.

Check out the specs below.

All New SkyTrak+ Launch Monitor

About the enclosure

The SkyTrak Play Now Golf Simulator Studio enclosures is made from powder-coated one-inch rolled steel and uses a clip system. It’s strong. It’s sturdy. It’s easy to handle.

Speaking of handling, the SkyTrak enclosure’s four-layer screen can handle all your firepower. Balls bounce back no more than foot at up to 130 mph in clubhead speed. The screen features a single-piece design, meaning side and ceiling walls are all one piece. It’s as quiet as it is durable, but should you need to buy a new screen, it’s removable by velcro, so you don’t have to purchase an entirely new enclosure just to replace the screen.

Also, the enclosure features waterproof PVC-based nylon black material for maximum utility and durability.

One person (without a ladder!) can assemble the SkyTrak Play Now Golf Simulator Studio. Additionally, there’s no drilling needed as the projector mount affixes directly to the enclosure — no damage to ceilings, floors, or walls.

A refresher on the SkyTrak+

Complementing SkyTrak’s existing camera-derived ball flight data, SkyTrak+ features a new dual doppler radar with an integrated machine learning algorithm to give users a wealth of club data for the first time at this price point. And it does so without any stickers or special balls.

Sky Trak+’s club data includes:

Club head speed
Smash factor
Club path
Face angle

And it does all this at a price point under $3,000.

Still shots from Feb 2023 Commercial Shoot for ST+

SkyTrak+’s new improved photometric camera system delivers improved ball tracking. And unlike exclusively radar-based units, there are no space limitations/distances from the unit for indoor use. Additionally, the camera system functions well on mats allowing users to practice outdoors, according to SkyTrak.

As you can see below, the SkyTrak+ interface displays carry, total distance, face-to-target, and club path data overlaying the driving range — additionally, previous shots are displayed with a heat map rather than plotted inside an ellipse. Launch angle, spin, and descent angle are displayed alongside suggested optimal ranges based on club head data, along will all the other metrics you’d expect to see in a top-tier launch monitor.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
jgrzask: “Tommy Armour 845u
