Square Golf Home vs. SKYTRAK ST+: Which Fits a Small Indoor Simulator Better?

Published 26 September 2026

Both Square Golf Home and SKYTRAK ST+ sit beside the ball, so they save the rear tracking space required by a radar unit positioned behind the golfer. The important 2026 update is availability: Square Golf Home is a current $699 product, while SKYTRAK now says the ST+ is no longer available new. The comparison still matters if you are considering a used or remaining ST+, but a new-product shopper should also compare Square with SKYTRAK’s current ST MAX, which SkyTrak lists as an indoor unit.

First, know what you are actually shopping for

SKYTRAK still keeps the ST+ specifications online, but its current product page clearly marks the launch monitor as no longer available. The former page shows a $1,995 sale price and $2,995 regular price, but those are not useful new-purchase prices now that the model is discontinued. SkyTrak still sells certified pre-owned ST+ units.

Square Golf Home remains a current product at $699. That availability difference should be settled before you spend time comparing minor specifications.

Both are friendly to short rooms

Square Home sits beside a compact hitting zone. The ST+ also works beside the ball. Neither needs another 6 to 9 feet behind the golfer just to give the launch monitor a radar lane.

That is the main reason both products show up in small-room comparisons.

Square is built around indoor use and a low entry price

Square positions the Home Edition as an indoor launch monitor and currently sells it for $699. It is designed to sit on a flat surface at ball height, and its manual warns against strong direct sunlight on the sensing area.

For a basement, spare room, or enclosed garage, that indoor focus can be an advantage because you are not paying for outdoor flexibility you may never use.

The ST+ offered a broader indoor/outdoor package

The legacy ST+ combined photometric cameras with dual Doppler radar, supported indoor and outdoor use, and reported both ball and club data. Those capabilities can still make a used ST+ attractive if the price and condition are right.

But buying discontinued hardware is a different decision from buying a current model. Warranty, replacement options, and future software support deserve more attention than they would on a new product.

Software support can still decide the purchase

Square's support page lists connectors for GSPro and Creative Golf, and Awesome Golf lists Square among the launch monitors it supports on Mac. That gives a low-cost indoor unit a few paths beyond the company’s own software.

An ST+ owner can still use the SKYTRAK ecosystem. A new buyer should know that SkyTrak describes the ST MAX with the same photometric camera and dual Doppler radar pairing, but lists its location as indoor.

The room still has to fit a golfer, screen, and projector

A side-mounted launch monitor only solves the tracking-space problem. You still need enough ceiling height, side clearance, screen distance, and safe containment for a normal swing.

If the room is small, mark the golfer and screen first, then choose the launch monitor. SkyTrak lists its certified pre-owned ST+ at $895.
