Bushnell X Foresight Launch Pro

ForeLeft

Interesting stuff. I felt fullswing golf (Full Swing Kit) was going to be king of the castle in this space, but they have been radio silent since last November....Foresight has scrubbed the Gc2 from their site and this looks to be the next generation personal launch monitor. I'm guessing anywhere from $2.5-5k.

It appears Bushnell will be selling it; just using Foresight's name and technology to boost the reputation.

Getting excited for this! I'm building another house next summer, and my wife already gave me the approval to build a 3rd stall garage with a 12 foot ceiling for a sim.

Noyes26 My guess will be 4-5k

Noyes26

ForeLeft I’ve heard everything from $2k-$6k. I’m just ready to know.

ForeLeft so it’s a GC Trés?

ForeLeft

PureStickGolf funny you said that, as that’s what it’s actually being marketed at internationally. Launch pro in the US, But GC3 everywhere else.

I’ve been following this very closely as I will be getting one. Here is what the rumors are now based on talks with sales reps.

I think the breakdown of the international unit is more like this (all in USD):

Base Unit: $3,000
FSX software (forced to purchase it on the international version).....$2,750
One dot club data:$1,500
Total: $7,250 USD (which equals the estimated price of the international version converted from CAD)

For those wondering what the one dot data is, image attached.

Appears to be the same company that owns Bushnell. It's all starting to make sense now.

ForeLeft "hey, we wanna talk about licensing your launch monitor algorithm. better yet, I think we're just going to buy your entire company outright instead". 😂

PureStickGolf

ForeLeft they’re just looking to diversify lol

Check your emails. Would love to hear people’s thoughts.

Oi, not a fan of the Bushnell pricing model out of the box, too watered down IMO and subscription models suck for consumer

So it would take 5 years to have the prices equal out. At the rate this technology is likely to improve, I don't see a reason to pay the upfront cost for the Foresight model. Competitors and upgrades will certainly come along in the time frame.

ForeLeft

Well. Bit the bullet and bought the launch pro today. As well as a fiber built mat and a net.

Net will be temporary in current house 3rd stall. Building another house next summer and will have a dedicated sim room and will transition to a projection screen.

I'm going to go subscription model, as I think it forces innovation and no Paid updates...and can possibly upgrade if something better comes out 5 years later and not really be out anything.

Noyes26

ForeLeft excited to hear your thoughts and experience with it!

Same, I’m really contemplating it. Can’t wait to hear your feedback.

ForeLeft

Appears both GC3 and BLP initial batch sold out quick. They will have more units in when they get more chips in to finish builds.

Noyes26

ForeLeft just ordered a LP from this pre order. Let me know if there’s anything I need to know that you’ve come across since owning yours please!

Noyes26 trick to quick connection:

turn on BLP first, then launch the software. (If you do software first, it takes a while for unit to pop up, even if hardwired connection)

Also make sure to right click software and open with high peforance graphics card, otherwise it will crash. Doesn’t use that card by default.

finally, make sure to login each time you launch software. If you don’t, none of your shots will be saved to cloud.

DM me if you have questions. Happy to hop on a call, FaceTime, or text!

I know you’ll love the BLP.

ForeLeft thanks dude I’ll get with you after the holidays
