Full Swing KIT vs Foresight GC3 vs GCQuad vs Bushnell Launch Pro | Which of These Top Golf Launch Monitors Should You Buy?

Here's what you need to know about the Full Swing KIT golf launch monitor:

• It's the GLM Tiger Woods uses.
• Provides 16 points of club & ball data: Carry Distance, Total Distance, Spin Rate, Spin Axis, Face Angle, Face to Path, Attack Angle, Launch Angle, Ball Speed, Club Speed, Smash Factor, Club Path, Horizontal Angle, Apex Height, Side Carry Distance, & Side Total Distance.
• Includes a high-quality 4K camera that will auto-record your swing from start to finish.
• It has an excellent app experience to see and analyze your data how you want.
• The Full Swing KIT has a super-clear data display on the unit.
• Full Swing KIT battery life is good for many sessions!
• It's conveniently portable and easy to set up and use.
• Compatible E6 Connect simulation software (more to come).
• It's the only doppler-radar on this page. And while according to our reviewer, Gabe, it had some spot on measurements he wasn't expecting at the range, doppler radars can struggle a bit with indoor spin numbers.

Watch the Full Swing KIT review to see all the reasons Gabe loved it and where her thought it could be improved.

A beautifull collaboration happened when Bushnell Golf's parent company bought Foresight Sports—and it's called the Bushnell Launch Pro golf launch monitor.

Bushnell's mission: get the best golf launch monitor technology in the world into a unit that a wider range of golfers can afford. Sure, at $4,000 to start, it's not cheap. But it lets you get your foot in the Forsight Sports golf tech door for $10,500 less than a GCQuad and $3,500 lest than a GC3.

That's right, you get a unit that is on the inside, exactly the same portable launch monitor as the Foresight GC3—which is a triscopic (camera-based) system that is only a level below the GCQuad.

Why is the Launch Pro price so much lower? Bushnell wanted to offer tiered subscription plans to unlock levels of practice and play options for a wider variety of golfers and budgets.

The Basic Plan is free your first year when you purchase.

The GC3 golf launch monitor from Foresight Sports is the sweet spot for golfers with budgets between the lower tiered Launch Pro plans and the GCQuad. It is professional-grade on a personal level with profound accuracy, reliability, and build quality.

The GC3 is the fully unlocked version of the Bushnell Launch Pro and has 4 main differences and a few subtle ones from the GCQuad which you can see in the comparison below.

For starters, here's what you need to know:

• Ball Data Measured: Launch Angle, Side Angle, Ball Speed, Total Spin, Carry, Side Spin/Spin Axis
  
• Club Data Measured: Club Head Speed, Smash Factor, Club Path, Angle of Attack
• GC3 has a hitting zone of 7" x 10"
• World Class accuracy with four high-resolution, high-speed optical sensors working together to deliver unrivaled quadroscopic image clarity.
• Does not offer putting analysis.
• Offers an outstanding indoor experience with FSX Software packages.

Full Swing KIT Price Starts at: $3,999.00

Bushnell Launch Pro Price Starts at: $2,999.99

Foresight Sports GC3 Price Starts at: $7,500.00

Foresight Sports GCQuad Price Starts at: $14,500.00

There are 4 major differences when it comes to the Forsight GC3 vs the GCQuad.

1. As you may have deduced by the names, the GC3 is a triscopic (3- camera) system, while the GCQuad is quadrascopic or a 4-camera system. While both of these units are super accurate, 4 cameras are a bit better than 3.
   
   
2. The GCQuad offers a bit more club data: Loft/Lie, Face Angle, Impact Location, Closure Rate
   
   
3. The GCQuad has a larger hitting zone: 18" x 14" vs 7" x 10"
   
   
4. The GC3 does not offer putting analysis while the GCQuad does.

What You Need to Know:

• Physical Differences
  • One launch monitor's badges read “Foresight Sports”/“GC3” while the other's read “Bushnell Launch Pro”/“Foresight Sports.”
  • The guts of it—the circuitry, the cameras, all the hardware and software—are 100 % the same.
• Price
  • Bushnell Launch Pro Base Price: $3,999.99
  • Foresight Sports GC3 Base Price: $7,000.00
• Functionality
  • The Launch Pro unit provides you with limited data and you must chose from a tier of subscription plans to unlock options. The Base Plan is free for the first year. Jump to our Launch Pro Subscription Plan Chart to compare all your options.
  • The Foresight GC3 is the is a fully loaded unit; you will need to pay for software separately, of course.

What You Need to Know:

• Number of Cameras
  • The Launch Pro is a triscopic (3- camera) system.
  • The GCQuad is quadrascopic or a 4-camera system. While both of these units use super accurate Foresight Sports technology, an extra camera can make a margin of difference if you need it.
• Funtionality
  • The GCQuad is Foresight's most comprehensive ground launch monitor, offering the most data, an expanded ball capture area, putting analysis, and more, along with superior accuracy.
  • The Bushnell Launch Pro's data and functions are unlocked according to the subscription plan you choose. See our Launch Pro Subscription Plan chart for all the details.
• Price
  • The Launch Pro allows you to customize your Foresight technology and software experience according to your budget, with the unit price starting at $4,000.
  • GCQuad's base price is $14,500, not including software and measurement add-ons like Clubhead and Essential Putting Analysis.

What You Need to Know:

• Doppler- vs Camera-Based System
  • Full Swing KIT is a doppler- or radar-based golf launch monitor. Radar-based technologies analyze ball and club head performance results from behind the club head and then largely calculate performance based on the geometric center of the club head.
  • Foresight Sports GC3 uses exact photometric measurements taken with a clear, direct view of the impact window. These devices measure rather than calculate, so they are largely more accurate indoors because they require less space and don't rely on calculation.
• Space
  • The KIT needs to be placed 10 feet behind the ball.
  • The GC3 sits in front of your golf ball, using alignment technology.
• Accuracy
  • For reasons explained above, the camera-based Launch Pro is going to have an edge when it comes to consistant, reliable measurements. However, for a doppler-based radar, the Full Swing KIT is top-of-the-line—just ask Tiger!
