SkyTrak ST MAX & PlayBetter SimStudio™ Home Golf Simulator Package FAQs

How is the SkyTrak ST MAX different from the SkyTrak+?


The SkyTrak ST MAX adds Speed Training capabilities and an upgraded dual Doppler radar plus photometric camera system for unmatched club and ball data precision. It’s faster, more accurate, and performs better outdoors while providing enhanced club tracking and spin metrics.

What room size do I need for a PlayBetter SimStudio™?


PlayBetter SimStudios are available in various sizes to fit most spaces. Generally, you’ll need about 8.5–10 feet of height, 12–18 feet of width, and 16–20 feet of depth — depending on your swing, club length, and comfort level.

How difficult is it to assemble the SkyTrak ST MAX SimStudio™?


Assembly is quick and simple. Each PlayBetter SimStudio features a tool-free frame design that snaps together easily. The impact screen mounts securely with bungees, and the pre-cut turf and mat fit perfectly into place — so most users are ready to play within hours.

Why choose a PlayBetter SimStudio™ over other golf enclosures?


PlayBetter SimStudio™s stand out with professional-grade impact screens that deliver excellent image clarity and sound dampening. The heavy-duty enclosure, premium turf, and clean design create a realistic, safe, and visually stunning golf simulator environment.

Is a SkyTrak membership required to use golf simulation software?


Yes. To connect your SkyTrak ST MAX with simulator software like GSPro, The Golf Club, or Creative Golf, you’ll need an active SkyTrak membership. It unlocks full simulation access, SkyTrak Course Play, and advanced game improvement tools for a complete experience.

How Much Space Do I Need for SkyTrak ST MAX & PlayBetter SimStudio™ Home Golf Simulator Package?

You'll want to take into account the ceiling height of your space not just for the enclosure, but to make sure you have enough room to swing a club! The sizes of the enclosures are below:

PlayBetter SimStudio Golf Simulator Bay Golf Enclosure

  • SimStudio8™: 8' (Wide) x 7.5' (Tall) x 4' (Deep)
  • SimStudio10™: 10' (Wide) x 8' 6" (Tall) x 5' 4" (Deep)
  • SimStudio12™: 12' (Wide) x 8' 6" (Tall) x 5' 4" (Deep)
  • SimStudio13™ Deep: 13' (Wide) x 10' (Tall) x 10' (Deep)

As for the length & width of your space - the main consideration is around the launch monitor you choose. Some launch monitors sit behind you (like the FlightScope Mevo+ and Garmin Approach R10) and require a certain amount of distance to the screen. Others (like the SkyTrak+ and Bushnell Launch Pro) sit directly to the side and require a few feet of space width-wise.

If you're unsure - contact our Golf Studio Team (or call 888-738-5527) and they'll be more than happy to help you out!
