Let me know what you think! And yeah subscriptions are super frustrating, but it does provide different structure for people who want it - so its nice to have options I suppose!

The GC3 is an unlocked launch pro

it detects all of that and much much more spin , angle of attack , club patch, launch angle , ball speed , club speed, carry distance , total distance , etc , etc... its a great product. I have one and vouch for it. It is super accurate , same as trackman or GCquad He makes some good points but in my experience this is the most accurate and best launch monitor next to the 18k GCQuad or Trackman.

As I understand it, no, they are exactly the same. When you boot up the Launch Pro it says "Foresight Sports." You use the Foresight app for everything, so I believe it's literally the same hardware. I havent used the GC3 personally, so I can't tell you which one is fastest. But I'd assume it's pretty much the same for both.

@@breakingeighty thanks, what about response time with the other launch monitors you use?

Once you buy the full unlock, the FSX 2020 you download is the same one that you download for GC3 (whereas the subscription based FSX 2020 is a different executable file). So as far as FSX 2020 usage is concerned, it's the same. However, with GC3, you can also use FSX play which is a simulation with much better graphics, although there are certain features within FSX 2020 simulation that is better (some of this is subjective). FSX Play should be available for BLP in the future according to the FSX play page of the Foresight website, but no date is given. I've also noticed that the number of courses you get with the GC3 essentials plus bundle is 11 courses, vs. the 9 I got when I unlocked my BLP, but that doesn't bother me much personally (for all I know, it could be a documentation error). I personally don't think Bushnell (who owns Foresight) had developed a very robust plan on how to differentiate the two (effectively same) models from the consumer's perspective, other than one offering the subscription option. The documentation is poor, it often refers to documents in the Foresight website for instructions, etc., while Foresight refers you to contact Bushnell support if you own BLP instead of GC3. It almost feels like they're pointing fingers at each other, and not acting like a unified company. The product, despite some initial issues that I had that seems to have been solved by recent firmware update, is solid. I personally don't think the FSX Pro is all that difficult to understand, my only issue with it is random disconnects via wifi (so using FSX2020 with hardwired connection to the unit is the most stable, and obviously FSX2020 has lot more features than FSX pro). With a recent sale they had on full unlock, I saved over 1500 over the GC3 (although even the GC3s were on sale for a short period of time), and the unit itself I got it sales tax free. It's been tremendously helpful (and a great time saver, which helps to justify the cost) to see my swing path and angle of attack with some swing changes I'm making.

@@jl9752 thanks, I figured that there had to be something different, even if it was small.

@@jl9752 just bought this and it’s way better and more accurate than the Mevo plus, etc. i got mine from Playbetter (no tax) and the download from Bushnell is tax free as well when you buy the Gold package. Saved $1500 as well. Setup was actually easy and I just use it for training outdoors and get ACCURATE NUMBERS!! I have at least 4-5 radar based launch monitors that I’ve purchased in the past 5 years and wasted probably $1500.

Checkout the Flightscope Mevo Plus or Garmin R10

If you don't need simulator features, then the iPad will work great.

Personally I dont see any reason why this wouldnt last far more than 5 years, so I dont know if that would be a buying concern for me personally. But if you're going to do anything simulator related, then you'll need a PC. If you have the right cord/projector you can probably find a way to project the ipad app onto a screen or monitor, but that will just essentially give you the driving range setup, not actually playable simulator courses.

The best? Launch pro or Mevo plus in the sub 3k price point

the launch pro /gc3 are the same and their software is the same as golf fitters. With the PC you get the screen and shot tracer with all the stats

It won't stop while people keep paying it. Capitalism, which I agree with by the way, has problems, one of which is retailers selling / marketing products for the highest profit margin possible. Which is easy to do now that most companies also directly retail as well as wholesale.

Thanks for the comment, Frank! Since I recorded this Bushnell changed their whole pricing structure. I’ll be doing an update this next month!

More accuracy, less missed shots, and all of the added stats/features from the subscription (biggest being you need to buy at least the silver membership to do simulation and get 3D ball flight)

@@evansnyder5948 I heard the Bushnell Launch Pro does not provide Face Angle. Is this true?

because he made another video on why you should

@@soupy01833 like I said I originally had no desire to buy one anyway. Thanks though 👍🏼

And now it’s $2999 again lol

Yes the bushnell does the only difference between this the gc quad is no loft/lie face angle impact location or closure rate the bushnell is very accurate exactly the same technology as the gc3

And I believe the channel let’s play thru has a video outside with the bushnell or find one of the gc3 they are the same device

Here’s the video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtd5hMVpyZmVnnU.html

yes it will show if you top the ball , chili dip the ball , hook , slice and the hole 9 yards , 30yrd wedge shots with spin etc...etc.... You do need to use the software like FSX pro , FSX play or FSX 2020 and use a PC just like at the stores or the golf fitters.

@@amoslrogers Many thanks. I posted a question there :"You two 7i shots look straight, but Bushnell show big right for those two shots. Driver seems directions are off too. If Bishness can't even get direction right, who cares about the distance?"

you get some club head data with the sub.

you do not get face angle

Yeah the Bushnell pricing and subscription tiers have changed a bit since I recorded this video. $250 for the base subscription which gets you all the metrics you need is annoying, but reasonable. But if you want any simulator features, you'll have to pay much more.

the r10 estimates spin and is not good on spin axis. it is good for the money but not going to compete with the gc3 or BLP

@@soupy01833 r10 gets me in the ball park.. i can tell by shot shape and distance if I had a good back spin number.. maybe you got the money for the BLP, but I didn't think the unit, the subscription, getting a gaming computer was worth it for someone like me, who will prob peak at mid handicap. spend the money on a lesson or two and rent trackman time to check your numbers.

@@richg7264 i agree. it is great for the money. does what it supposed to do. I like playing indoor sim courses and the r10 would not cut it as well for me

Yeah it definitely is. Not sure why they do that, can't imagine there are any hardware issues with doing so.

Licensing agreements with Foredight for sure. Oh well, I'll likely get the MEVO + when I'm ready to invest that money. No subscription fees is big.
