Foresight Sports has released the QuadMax, a successor to its GCQuad launch monitor that keeps the same four-camera photometric capture system but cuts the unit's weight by 15 percent and adds a touchscreen display, a new speed-training mode and expanded ball-flight data.
Key takeaways
- The QuadMax uses the same four-camera photometric capture system as the GCQuad but weighs 15% less, with a wider carry handle.
- A new "MyTiles" feature lets users save up to six custom data parameters to the device's touchscreen display.
- The device now measures ball apex, descent angle and ball offline on top of its existing ball and club data.
- A new Speed Training mode tracks clubhead speed using a reflective dot, without requiring a ball to be struck.
- The QuadMax starts at $19,999 and pairs with Foresight's Premier+ software for practice, course play and skills games.
What's new on the QuadMax?
The headline change is the touchscreen interface, which replaces menu navigation with swipe controls and introduces MyTiles — a way to pin up to six chosen data points, such as ball speed, launch angle and spin rate for a driver session, or angle of attack and club path for iron work. Foresight has also added three data points captured directly on the unit: ball apex, descent angle and ball offline, alongside the ball and club metrics the GCQuad already tracked.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Capture system | Four-camera photometric (shared with GCQuad) |
| Weight | 15% lighter than GCQuad |
| Battery life | 7-9 hours, field-swappable |
| New data points | Ball apex, descent angle, ball offline |
| Putting metrics | Launch, skid, time-to-full-roll, face-to-path |
| Starting price | $19,999 |
A launch monitor that measures clubhead speed without a ball being struck turns an empty garage into a year-round training session.
How does the new Speed Training mode work?
Instead of requiring a struck ball, the mode reads clubhead speed from a reflective dot applied to a driver or a dedicated speed-training aid, letting players track overspeed and underspeed sessions indoors or in off-season conditions. Foresight has also built out a putting function that captures launch, skid, time-to-full-roll and face-to-path, metrics aimed at fitters and coaches as much as the device's existing club and ball data.
The unit ships with a padded carry case, a reflective alignment stick, storage for its charger and reflective club stickers, and runs on a field-swappable battery rated for 7 to 9 hours. It pairs with Foresight's Premier+ software, which adds practice-data tracking, simulated course play and skills games on top of the raw numbers.
Reviewers have found the QuadMax's photometric accuracy consistent with the GCQuad's reputation among fitters and tour-level equipment testers, while noting the added portability and data set extend its use beyond the fitting bay.

It starts at $19,999.
What's different between the QuadMax and the GCQuad?
The QuadMax weighs 15% less, adds a touchscreen with customizable MyTiles data presets, and captures ball apex, descent angle and ball offline that the GCQuad did not measure on-device.
Does the QuadMax require a golf ball to measure swing speed?
No. Its Speed Training mode reads clubhead speed from a reflective dot on a club or training aid without a ball being struck.
What does the QuadMax's putting mode track?
Launch, skid, time-to-full-roll and face-to-path data for putting strokes.
How long does the QuadMax's battery last?
7 to 9 hours per charge, and the battery is field-swappable.
