Foresight Sports GC3 Review

There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.

WHAT WE TRIED

The Foresight Sports GC3

WHAT IS THE FORESIGHT GC3?

Golfers are looking for the next big thing, and the Foresight GC3 might just be it.

The Personal Launch Monitor space has, shall we say, left plenty to be desired when it comes to accuracy. The entry of the Foresight GC3 may have pushed the cost of ownership above the $500 point that golfers have become accustomed to, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

The GC3 PERSONAL LAUNCH MONITOR

The GC3 retails for $7,000, which admittedly might be out of reach for most golfers, but with that, not only do you get more data than you get with other personal launch monitors, that data is actually reliable. With the GC3, Foresight provides a robust number of data points, including the most important/relevant data that consumers need.

Here’s how GC3 compares to Foresight’s enterprise-class GCQuad:

Most of these metrics aren’t available in personal launch monitors within the $500-$2000 range. It’s also notable that the GC3 offers a Barometric Sensor. For those who don’t know what that means, here it is in a nutshell.

Temperature, humidity, and altitude vary across the world. I’m guessing you knew that. If your launch monitor numbers assume sea level, but you’re playing in the mountains, your actual distance will be significantly longer than what the data suggests because of the altitude and air density. Temperature matters too.

A barometric sensor takes into account the environment and gives you accurate data based on where you are. You just take this unit to the course you’re playing and you are good to go with your real numbers. No more guessing. It’s that simple.

WHY ARE WE TRYING IT?

Foresight is one of the leaders in the Launch Monitor world. Hell, we use the GC Quad because we want the most accurate data possible for all our testing needs. So when Foresight announced they’re coming out with a Personal Launch Monitor, it was a no-brainer to take it out and put it through its paces.

Foresight use is rapidly growing on TOUR and without sponsorship dollars pushing the shift. The majority of PGA TOUR pros inside the Top 25 own GCQuads. Pay attention next time TV cameras scan the range. You’re going to see a significant number of Foresights.

The best players in the world trust the GCQuad, but is there any chance the GC3 can provide the same level of accuracy for average golfers?

We had to find out.

PRODUCT EXPERT

Hi, I’m Harry, and I am a professional golf product tester. (Yes, they exist.) I test a lot of things at MyGolfSpy and play professionally when I’m not checking and comparing specs on gloves, rangefinders, bags, ball retrievers, etc.. You can call me the Director of Product Testing here at MGS. You can also just call me Harry. That’s fine, too.

USING THE FORESIGHT GC3

My first impression of the GC3 is how compact the unit is. It’s like a mini-me of the GC Quad. Well kinda. It’s a little lighter and offers one fewer camera. One thing that the GC3 offers that the Quad doesn’t is simple touch screen control. It’s intuitive, easy to use, and totally customizable.

How do you set it up to record data? Turn it on, plonk it down parallel to your target line, and hit. It’s that simple. Point and shoot, if you will.

When using the Foresight GC3 outside, you can link the unit up to a tablet or phone to get more data than what’s offered by the screen alone. If can also provide head data with one fiducial (the technical word for a sticker) placed high and in the middle of the face. If you’re lucky enough to have room to hit balls inside, you can link the GC3 up to a computer or via wifi to play Pebble Beach, hit the range, or just have some fun with a skills challenge.

Downloading and installing the software is easy, and setting up the device takes no time at all. I was off and running in a matter of minutes. Trust me, it’s every bit as fast, if not faster, to get rolling with the Foresight GC3 than most of the $500 Personal Launch Monitors we’ve tested.

For the money, I suppose it should be.

HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO THE GC QUAD?

Ok, let’s face it. The GCQuad is the holy grail of photometric (camera-based) launch monitors, but, it turns out, the GC3 doesn’t lag much behind. It’s true; the GC3 doesn’t give you Loft/Lie, Face Angle, Impact Location, or Closure Rate. It doesn’t measure putter data either. That might be a letdown for some, but, honestly, the only metrics I’d personally miss are face angle and maybe Loft/Lie. The other metrics aren’t as necessary, and in most cases, can be extrapolated or figured out some other way. Plus, for $7,000, you get a massive amount of data. It gets you a good bit of the way to the $18,000 GCQuad.

The question I have been asked the most is, “how reliable is the new GC3 compared to the GCQuad?” Well… I’ll just leave this data up for you, and you can see how it compares for yourself.

Honestly, I’m not surprised one bit. Both units leverage the same flight algorithms, and both capture data reliable. Even with the challenges of running both units in parallel, The ball was exceptionally close – consistently closer than we’ve seen with any personal launch monitor we’ve tested to date. While I did hit a single shot where the units disagreed by about 300 RPM, a healthy number of shots were bang on, often within 50-100 RPM of the GCQuad.

What about head data?

Unfortunately, while we can capture ball data while running the units side-by-side (well, across from each other), the same method won’t work for head data. What we’ve seen suggests the Foresight GC3 does accurately capture head data, and given the capture methodology is the same as the GCQuad, the expectation is that head data will be consistent and accurate.

Can we swear to it? No.

Are we confident? Definitely.

COMPARING THE GC3 TO R10 AND RAPSODO

The question is, how does the GC3 hold up against other Personal Launch Monitors? It’s a bit of a loaded question given the not entirely insignificant price difference.  Apples and oranges, perhaps, but if you’re wondering what you get for the extra cash, here is a comparison between the Garmin R10, Rapsodo, and the GC3 compared to the GC Quad.

As you can see, both of these personal launch monitors don’t even sniff the GC3. While the more inexpensive units do well for a couple of metrics, a 7.64% average difference in carry can amount to more than a club length. And it’s not consistently 7.64%. Sometimes it’s less, sometimes considerably more. So I’m not sure if I would rely on that data to translate to the course.

Let’s talk about what the GC3 could improve on!

I’m going to be upfront with you. Unless you absolutely have to have a few more metrics (and are willing to pay another for $11,000 to get them), this unit is a game-changer. I haven’t found anything from a data, visuals, or satisfaction level that disappoints. The only negative about the GC3 is maybe the price.

If Foresight priced it in and around the Sky Trak price range, you’d see a lot of GC3s in basements, backyards, and garages. However, the GC3 is the better device (and it works reliably outdoors in full sunlight), so does it make sense to compete directly on price?

I don’t know. I don’t price products, I review them. And I definitely can’t predict the future.

FINAL THOUGHTS ON THE FORESIGHT GC3

Here’s the deal. Figure out which of these best describes you:

  • A Serious golfer
  • Someone who has or will have an indoor hitting space
  • Someone who wants indoor golf entertainment

To be fair, if you’re any of the above would be thrilled with the Foresight GC3.

If you’re a serious golfer, you can get dialed in with ACCURATE numbers. You can also take it to your events and still get reliable data regardless of temperature, altitude, or humidity.

Those who have or will have an indoor hitting space in their house can benefit immensely. You can link the GC3 up to a computer or iPad and play famous courses around the world without leaving your house. Plus, in the off-season, you can get grinding on your swing with more data than has been available to you before.

Finally, if you’re looking for something to take your mind off work, you can use the GC3 in the simulator setting again via an iPad, computer, or iPhone and play the Fairground games or Zombie Apocolypse.

The Foresight GC3 is more capable than other units in the Personal Launch Monitor market. It’s that simple.

I understand that the GC3 costs $7,000 and can be out of the price range for some golfers. However, you have the option to buy the Bushnell Launch Pro model for $3,000 and add the features you want via software subscriptions. If you want the same capabilities as the GC3 straight away, The Gold package is $799 a year.

I want to be clear that the Foresight GC3 and the Bushnell Launch Pro are the same exact device and will provide the same data with equal accuracy. The only differences are the logo and the upfront costs.

Is this GC3 something that you’re considering? Let me know in the comment section below.

      Hi Harry, I’m overseas and looking for a LM for a new garage setup I’mworking on. Would you recommend GC3 or the Uneekor eye XO, (I have a friend selling his for 8.5k). So it’s 7 vs 8.5 and mainly for indoor use. Answers from the community will be highly appreciated.

      The problem isn’t how it compares to a Quad. The problem is that it’s more expensive than a GC2 and objectively worse because it has no upgrade path to FULL club data.

      The upgraded tech (USB-C etc) is nice, but that is a serious downside that cannot be understated. Anyone in this market would have to think long and hard about passing up on the older model.

      Love where the tech is moving but 7k is just too much. In a few years expect a lot of other players to be offering much better priced products, similar to every other tech . Remember when the newest and best TV’s were over 15k?
      I own a used skytrak and take lessons on a GC quad. The combination has got me to single digits and in a good place moving forward. No piece of equipment will help much without lessons. I’d still be hacking away hitting bucket after bucket wondering why tf my hook or push keep popping up.
      I’m in a good spot where I can actually afford more but I don’t see the value. I spend about $700 a off season on lessons, money way better spent than in the newset toy.

      Thank you for the review Harry. You mention several times about being able to use an iPad. I though that you have to have a pc to be able to use the Foresight software or play simulated courses. Can you confirm what you could see on your iPad? Was it just the range or was it simulated courses?

      No, the iPad would be used with FSX mobile. It’s just a robust range, numbers, and flight simulation.. The sim courses are all in FSX 2020 and you would need a PC.

      Honestly for that amount of money I can get many, ,many golf lessons from a top teaching pro that has even better equipment. Unless I am seriously considering golf as a career or at least an avenue to pay for a college education this seems not to be cost effective. Of course there are those for whom this money is meaningless. If you are one of those perhaps you could place one under my Christmas tree.

      I’m in the market for a unit, but feel club data is key (face angle and path).
      7K for the GC3 without it, ouch. Using a GC Quad regularly and there’s no doubt it’s accurate and reliable.
      The Full Swing Kit is just coming to market and lists club data with it at 4K which sounds great. I hope you can review and compare it to others.. I’ve heard the Full Swing Kit products can be glitchy.

      Stickers on the ball specifically are for radar devices. You only have to put a single sticker on the club if you want to get club readings. Otherwise, stickers are not required with the gc3 for ball specific readings.

      Looks great, although I really wish it had face angle possibly impact location as well. If you are really looking to improve you must know the club path and face angle relationship. Impact location can be found easily enough with foot powder spray so I could let that one go, plus if you’re a seasoned enough player you know immediately where it’s been struck. I’m wondering if a software update will yield more information or if that missing camera is the one you need to calculate those missing metrics. .

      I agree 100%. I was planning on getting one, but without face angle, I’m not so sure. When I practice, club path and face angle are probably the two most important numbers. My guess is that this is intentionally gimped to differentiate between the Quad.

      Reply

      Clint Wilber

      3 years ago

      If you understand basic numbers, then having face angle is not critical. You can extrapolate that with path and spin. Not sure why that would sink the gc3 for you.

      100% Correct Clint Wilber. This cracks me up – extrapolate it and work backwards. If the swing is what you’re also looking to improve not just your numbers then I’d suggest both units. Camera F/O & Doppler DTL.

      Does Side Angle more closely align to Club Path or Face Angle?

      Face angle. Side angle is the degree off from the target line the ball starts. That is 99% face angle. Spin is then dictated by the face angle relationship with club path.

      GC3 through the alliance of Bushnell through the merger will make it a household and trusted name. Trust has value in the consumer market. The price is right at entry level ($3K) to get people to make the initial purchase. Those who are familiar with Foresight GC products will get the $7K version right out the gate as it’s at least half of GCQuad. This is a game changer. Golf has never been cheap and that’s the barrier to the growing the game, so this price point for PLM is right if you’ve consistently invested in playing golf. Budget for it and get the real deal – Foresight.

      This is interesting stuff; I’m always interested to understand what the true market demographic for this is?

      I can’t help but think the majority of golfers would be better off going to their local pro, jumping on their launch monitor, and have a lesson at the same time.

      $7,000 could buy a lot more improvement than buying a launch monitor outright…..which is the whole point, right?

      The market is for those that invested in Club fitting, play a lot of golf (private or public courses) and serious about improving. It’s about convenience and having the data anytime you want to improve your game. Obviously if your swing is broken go for lessons. But sometimes a person needs data to prove to themselves what is actually wrong. Arccos is another great tool for game improvement.

      That’s kind of a weak response. Can you produce some data? The $5k difference would be hard to justify if a few % difference. Your comparison was to a low-end rapsodo and R10 (~$500 range) which the R10 I read struggles. Also, I’m not sure you can play TGC with a GC3 and it doesn’t read putting?

      Hi
      I currently have a skytrak in a garage sim set up over the pond in the UK.

      I am thinking of upgrading to a GC3/bushnall laugh pro, however I have a question about the hitting area.

      I am in a narrow garage where I can swing a driver and all irons into a hitting screen with projector, however I have to hit into the right hand side of the screen, and can’t set up hitting into the middle of the screen, there just isn’t room.

      Does the GC 3 have a setting like the skytrak where you can move the hitting line to the right / left hand side. This is excellent on the skytrak but can’t find an answer to this for a GC3 / quad?

      Yes to a degree this can be accomplished through the alignment stick that comes with the GC3. You lay down the alignment stick hit a button and BOOM you’re good to go.

      Excellent, thanks for replying. That was my main concern about the GC3.

      Now just to decide whether to go for the GC3 all in or the Bushnall Launch pro? Have plenty of time to think about it as Foresight have said not around UK until early 2022 at the absolute best.

      Also Foresight quoted around £6500 – £7000 for the full on GC3 in the UK.

      Yes, this is available in the initial software setup. I just did this myself where I hit offset on the right side of the screen and it works perfectly.

      Biggest problem is $7k in the US (equiv £5k GBP) will end up £8.5k in the UK if they follow the pricing applied to the GCQ.

      I also suspect the UK wont see much of the GC3 until H2 2022.

      Can you test it against skytrak and mevo +, the 2k launch monitors that are most used?

      The one message about electronics is their real price(adjusted for inflation) almost always goes down over time. The question is where will they “plateau” and when. Cheap swing speed monitors have dropped to about $100 in the last couple of years. I wonder where device like this will end up?

      The problem – tracking a golf ball photographically and extrapolating it’s flight – is well defined (club tracking let’s put aside for a moment). It’s not a ridiculously demanding high speed camera application. And the end result – accurate data – is measurably correct or not.
      Personal LMs are just now reaching a critical consumer mass (the Garmin G10).
      I confidently expect an end point similar to laser rangefinders, 100 dollars within ten years from now.

      I would be curious to see how this compares to the Flightscope Mevo+. I am a bit bias as I own one but feel it’s a pretty accurate unit, even inside, even more so outside. I may be wrong but the Rapsodo and Garmin are also radar units? Would be cool to see how a better radar unit would stack up to this without going to a Trackman or X3. Mevo+ being a similar price point to the GC3/Launch Pro. Great article.
