The business chief in launch displays has introduced an addition to their increasing lineup of simulation applied sciences.
Introducing Foresight Falcon.
This overhead launch monitor and golf simulator goals to seize the rising want for indoor golf simulation at a lower cost (and smaller measurement) than Foresight’s profitable GCHawk overhead launch monitor.
Right here’s what you may anticipate from Foresight’s Falcon launch monitor and the way it is likely to be the precise launch monitor to your indoor house.

Rising Demand
If there’s something I can surmise from the discharge of the Foresight Falcon, it’s that golf simulation is in excessive demand. Shoppers are craving the power to play, apply and be taught indoors.
That’s the bread and butter behind the Foresight Falcon. Whereas the Falcon is (considerably) billed as an leisure piece, it’s backed by the Foresight accuracy and belief. Constructed on the identical four-camera photometric system because the GCHawk, the Falcon supplies the identical stage of accuracy and wealth of knowledge in a type issue that’s roughly half the scale of its predecessor.
“The Falcon packs every little thing you anticipate from a Foresight product right into a smaller, lighter mannequin that beats each aggressive newcomer function by function. Within the simulation house, the GCHawk was the class creator,” mentioned Foresight Sports activities Co-President, Jon Watters. “The Foresight Falcon would be the class expander for these on the lookout for a simulator expression that matches their house, use case and price range.”
If the Falcon’s golf simulation capabilities are its engine, Foresight’s photometric digital camera system is the gasoline that powers it.
Maybe essentially the most underrated (and helpful) factor concerning the new Falcon as in comparison with one thing just like the tried and trusted GCQuad is the truth that it’s meant to be mounted overhead.
In layman’s phrases, this removes the necessity to “flip” the launch monitor backward and forward relying in your handedness. Because the token lefty at MGS HQ, I’m typically not noted of the workplace GCQuad competitions as a result of flipping it between photographs simply looks as if an excessive amount of work.
A Few Lacking Options
For those who personal the unique GCHawk, you’re most likely questioning if it’s value upgrading to the Falcon. Based mostly on measurement and weight alone, the Falcon is a extra formidable system for the on a regular basis golfer constructing their golf simulator.
That mentioned, there’s one weak point (albeit small) of the Falcon that I’d have preferred to see. The GCHawk incorporates a multi-sport mode that means that you can play soccer, too. The Falcon doesn’t have that functionality.
Sure, it’s a small change. However in the event you plan on utilizing your simulator house for each sports activities, you’re going to have to stay with the larger, dearer GCHawk.
It’s additionally value noting that, as a result of smaller measurement, the Falcon’s hitting space is a little bit bit smaller (solely three inches) than that of the GCHawk.
Coming to Ceiling Close to You
The Foresight Falcon seems to be essentially the most budget-friendly overhead launch monitor available on the market. And powered by Foresight’s quad digital camera system, the info assortment is nothing in need of world-class.
You should purchase the Foresight Falcon beginning tomorrow, Jan 3.
