Launch Monitor Protective Case
Hardened case (steel or HDPE) that surrounds the launch monitor and absorbs ball strikes. Mandatory for SkyTrak / SkyTrak+, Bushnell Launch Pro, and Foresight GC3 — without the case, ball strikes are not warranty-covered. SkyTrak HDPE case ~$130–$170; metal case for Bushnell/GC3 ~$125–$200 depending on vendor (Etsy/Shank Tank, PlayBetter, Mid Journey Golf).
Who this is for
Honest match per persona.
Good for
- Performance Seeker
Mandatory if the build has a camera-based LM. The case is the warranty.
- Showroom
Steel case with Lexan window matches the premium aesthetic and protects the $2,500+ LM.
- Recreational Player
If the build steps up to a SkyTrak+ or Launch Pro, the case is non-optional. Quote directly: 'no case = no warranty on ball strikes.'
- Family Setup
Kids and casual hitters miss more often. The case earns its $150 in one shanked 7-iron.
Not for
- Cost-Effective Buyer
Cost-effective builds typically use radar (Garmin, Mevo) which don't sit in the impact zone. No case needed.
- Space-Constrained
Same as cost-effective — radar units used in tight rooms don't need cases.
