Out of genuine curiosity as I also saw it off the Best Launch Monitors video, is there a reason that the trackman isn’t used for the best of the best, same with the GQ Quad? Have they had a massive drop off or do they fit into a different category?

Thanks for your question! There hasn’t been a dropoff for both Trackman and GC4. That said, it’s just easier to recommend a device like the Launch Pro that’s plenty accurate for the average golfer at a price point that’s actually affordable!
