Foresight Sports GC2 Launch Monitor: What Golfers Need to Know
Worldwide Golf is now offering the all-new Foresight Sports GC2, a dual-camera launch monitor designed to bring the company’s ball-tracking technology to a broader range of golfers.
Built for practice, coaching and simulator use, the GC2 focuses exclusively on ball data, capturing 13 ball-flight measurements in a compact, portable design. It also connects with Foresight’s software platform, giving players access to shot data that can help them better understand what is happening with each swing.
How Does the Foresight Sports GC2 Work?
The GC2 uses two high-speed cameras to capture the golf ball through impact and produce flight data.
Because the unit sits beside the hitting area rather than behind the golfer, it can work well in tighter spaces. A built-in color display shows shot data right on the unit, and its compact design makes it easy to take from one location to another.
What Data Does the GC2 Measure?
The GC2 provides 13 ball-flight metrics:
• Carry distance
• Total distance
• Ball speed
• Launch angle
• Launch direction
• Back spin
• Side spin
• Total spin
• Spin axis
• Offline
• Peak height
• Descent angle
• Hang time
Together, those measurements provide a broader picture of how a shot performs.
Ball speed, launch and spin help explain what happens immediately after impact. Carry distance and peak height describe the flight through the air, while descent angle offers insight into how the ball is approaching the ground or green.
Reviewing those numbers over multiple swings can help golfers recognize patterns that may not be obvious from distance alone.
Designed to Go Where You Play
The GC2 can be used indoors or outside, giving golfers flexibility in where they gather shot data.
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB-C provide several connectivity options, whether the unit is being used in a hitting bay, on the driving range or as part of a simulator.
That portability allows the GC2 to serve more than one purpose without being tied to a permanent installation.
Use the GC2 for a Home Golf Simulator
The GC2 can also serve as the measurement component of a home golf simulator, allowing golfers to play virtual rounds as well as practice indoors.
With Foresight Premier, golfers can access more than 100 courses, depending on their Foresight+ membership and Course Pass. The GC2 can also be incorporated into Foresight’s SIM IN A BOX packages or another simulator configuration based on the available space and equipment.
Connect With Foresight+
Purchase of the unit includes a 30-day trial of Foresight+ Gold Membership with Course Pass Pro, giving users an opportunity to explore the platform alongside the data captured by the launch monitor.
The Gold tier adds features such as club comparison, real-course overlays and compatibility with third-party simulator software like GSPro, giving golfers a fuller look at everything the connected experience offers.
Who Is the Foresight Sports GC2 For?
The GC2 can serve golfers with a variety of goals.
Players working on their games can track changes in launch, spin and carry over time, while coaches can use the information during lessons. Its simulator compatibility also gives golfers another way to incorporate the unit into year-round golf.
For anyone interested in camera-based ball tracking in a portable format, the Foresight Sports GC2 offers a new way to bring more information into each session.
