They sold out in record time in America and now the GC3 is finally available in the UK. Hannah Holden has all the details

Foresights Game Changer (GC) line have been growing from strength to strength with more GCQuads appearing on the PGA Tour each week. Now Foresight are back with a more affordable-option for the wider golfing community.

GC3 Launch Monitor: First impressions

To say this is the most affordable Foresight Sports product to date, it is really hard to tell. The whole package looks really high end. I like how this echos the styling of the GCQuad but has its own unique features.

This comes in at a third of the price of the GCQuad with FSX software making it a great option to fill the gap between tour and club golfers in terms of personal launch monitors.

GC3 Launch Monitor: The technology

The GC3 launch monitor uses the same advanced photometric technology seen in the companies GCQuad.

This is a combination of infrared object tracking and high-speed high-resolution cameras to precisely track the club head and ball. This allows the device to capture thousands of images per second creating a virtual 3D model.

The GC3 has three precision cameras for both ball and club data. There are four ways for you to connect to the device. It also has a touch screen display that’s easy to read indoors and out and gives you real time data.

The GC3 can be used as part of an indoor simulator, outside in a net and of course outside on the range or golf course.

The GC3 captures the following data:

Ball data: Ball speed, Launch angle, Side angle, Total spin, Backspin, Spin axis, Side spin

Club data: Club speed, Efficiency, Angle of attack, Club path

There are numerous package options available including simulation packages such as the Sim-in-a-box range.
