Key Tradeoffs
Premium, highly accurate photometric unit sharing camera lineage with the pro-grade GCQuad (GC3 = 3 cameras vs GCQuad's 4). Spin is directly measured optically — a key indoor accuracy advantage over radar units that must estimate spin without special balls; foresight is also RCT-Verified. Club data

Special Balls
No marked or proprietary golf balls required for ball data — the photometric cameras read any standard ball (e.g., a regular Pro V1). Metallic/circular stickers ARE required on the CLUB FACE (not the ball) to capture club data. So: balls =
