Foresight Sports’ GCHawk™ delivers next-level gaming and entertainment to the range and simulation studio.
The ceiling-mounted launch monitor’s promise to deliver unprecedented player freedom without compromising performance has resulted in an industry-wide surge in demand.
One year after revealing an early-stage prototype of its latest tracking technology, the GCHawk™, Foresight Sports is unveiling the highly anticipated launch monitor at the 2019 PGA Merchandise Show. Designed specifically for the rapidly growing simulation and entertainment range market, the GCHawk’s sleek, ergonomic form factor is elevated above the player to provide a new level of in-game freedom and design flexibility.
Harnessing the same object-sensing and image capturing technology found on the award-winning GCQuad™, the ceiling-mounted GCHawk fits seamlessly into a commercial or residential environment and, according to Foresight Sports’ Director of Sales Rick Cuellar, makes the virtual game experience as true-to-life as possible. “With the GCHawk, players of both right and left-handedness can hit shots without ever having to think about where the tracking technology is located. And because it delivers the same level of accuracy and reliability found in its GC2 and GCQuad predecessors, all players have to worry about is hitting a great shot.”
Ease of use aside, the innovative launch monitor’s large ball-capture range also make it ideal for a wide range of gaming applications beyond golf – including such sports as baseball, soccer, and even hockey. “The GCHawk can deliver a variety of never-before-seen game experiences,” says Cuellar. “We’re already developing new apps that leverage the platform’s multi-sport capabilities.” Like its predecessors, the GCHawk is fully compatible with Foresight Sports’ FSX2018 simulation software, as well as the company’s growing collection of performance and game apps.
As testament to the rapid growth of the simulation and entertainment range market – and direct interest in the GCHawk – pre-orders for the launch monitor have already far exceeded the company’s sales forecast. According to Cuellar, demand for the product is simply a sign of the times. “The GCHawk’s unique capabilities and unmatched accuracy satisfy such a wide range of needs – from residential simulators, to entertainment ranges, to fitting and instruction studios – that the huge interest and demand shouldn’t surprise anyone.” Foresight Sports will be showcasing the GCHawk at the 2019 PGA Merchandise Show at Outdoor Demo Day Tee #7. The company’s full line of solutions will be showcased at indoor exhibit booth #1227.
The 2019 PGA Merchandise Show kicks off with Outdoor Demo Day on January 22 at the Orange County National Golf Center. Exhibit halls open at the Orange County Convention Center January 23.
