@@stefanbild6869 Software will always come down to personal preference. The reason I say this is even if you build a feature list of each, everyday someone tells me why they like one better than the other. It can be budget, features like games, number of courses, some just like the look of certain ones, some like how they can run some on lower end PC's ipad, some like games offered, some like certain type of gameplay characteristics, it's honestly fascinating to hear how so many people like so many different ones. I would say TGC 2019 is probably the all time most popular for SkyTrak, GSPRO is probably one of the most all around popular for launch monitors right now, E6 still has a huge base of users and might grow with the new APEX coming. Creative Golf still is successful with it's easier to achieve graphics demands. Heck even WGT has a bunch of users, but I have to say the gameplay on that is far from realistic regardless of what someone says imo unless there was a huge update recently which I have not heard of.

So, I had all the ranges you see within your video there, but all but the six you see on first screen disappeared within the view all screen. Reached out to Skytrak and was told it was a mistake and we lowly paying customers weren't supposed to see the additional ranges. Pretty frustration since I was also told a year ago, when I bought my Skytrak+, that angle of attack and clubface impact heatmap would be something released soon and it's been more than a year with no release. The clubface impact heatmap was also something found within Skytrak stat explanation videos but not released to the public. Seems like quite a few mistakes teasing something out there but not available to us peasants.

Yeah I am not sure other than they said essential package customers will get the improvement ranges.
