Foresight Sports has launched the GC2 golf launch monitor priced at $1,699, aiming to simplify swing data and make it more affordable for golfers. Unlike more complex models, the GC2 focuses on essential metrics like ball speed, carry distance, launch angle, spin, peak height, and shot direction, which are displayed on a user-friendly color screen. The device uses two high-speed cameras to capture the ball's movement immediately after impact, delivering accurate launch data for both indoor and outdoor use. Pre-orders opened on October 1, 2026, with shipping scheduled between October 9 and October 15.
The GC2 offers comparable camera quality to Foresight’s higher-end GC3 and GCQuad models but with streamlined functions that cater to average golfers who don’t need overwhelming numbers like lie angles or club closure rates. Jeff Foster, President of Revelyst Golf Technology, highlighted that the goal with the GC2 is to remove barriers for golfers, allowing more people to experience Foresight's trusted accuracy without the complexity of advanced data. The GC2 can be purchased as a standalone monitor or bundled with Foresight’s simulator packages.
Alongside the launch of the GC2, Foresight unveiled its new Premier software after a year of development to address previous software limitations. Premier supports all Foresight devices and includes enhanced features such as course play, performance analysis, and fitting tools, significantly improving the user experience. Foresight also revamped its subscription services with free, Silver ($199/year), and Gold ($599/year) tiers, offering various levels of access to practice modes, drills, swing video capture, and course play options.
To support the GC2’s debut, Foresight is rolling out its first-ever marketing campaign featuring TV advertisements and retail displays, a clear departure from their past strategy. Marketing Operations Director Tim Tiel emphasized that the company is now investing in brand awareness, confident the product’s price point and capabilities justify wider promotion. Additional subscription packages let users play virtual courses, with Course Pass Pro allowing access to 111 courses including famous ones like Pebble Beach and Bethpage Black, providing a comprehensive golf simulation ecosystem around the GC2.
