Foresight today announced the successor to its GCQuad launch monitor: the QuadMax, which continues to leverage the company’s four-camera photometric capture system to deliver its wealth of data points while adding some notable features.

Foresight QuadMax launch monitor: What’s new, key technology

Customizable data display: “MyTiles,” allows users to personalize on-screen data, showing a player only what s/he wants to see. This was added in response to a request from teachers and students.

Internal memory capabilities: The unit can capture shot and session data (up to two billion shots!) on its internal memory to be transferred to the app later. This allows golfers to avoid the distraction of phones or tablets.

Extended data parameters: All the data points from GCQuad are available, as well as club closure rate, ball apex, descent angle, and ball offline from the target.

Swing speed measurement capabilities: Particularly useful for golfers engaged in speed training, QuadMax can measure a golfer’s swing speed without a ball being struck. This can even be used with a reflective marker-bearing speed training aid instead of a golf club.

Enhanced usability: Targeting ease of use, QuadMax features a new touchscreen display.

Improved battery life: QuadMax has a 15 percent larger battery that is also 15 percent lighter.

Regarding the development of QuadMax, Foresight Sports Co-President Jon Watters said: “2024 is a pivotal year for us in terms of delivering best-in-class technology to golfers. With QuadMax and our new simulation-focused Foresight Falcon launch monitors, we’re delivering the pinnacle of performance analysis in terms of accuracy, reliability, and build quality. Combining this with our SIM IN A BOX simulation and FSX software offerings, there isn’t an aspect of performance improvement or golf entertainment experiences where we aren’t leading.”

The QuadMax is available for purchase February, 2024. It will retail for $19,999.

Spotted: SuperStroke Pistol Lock 1.0 & 2.0 grips

SuperStroke’s Pistol series is one of its more popular models with an oversized — but still traditional — shape that fits in the hands comfortably.

This week, we spotted a new grip on the practice green at the Cognizant Classic with the “Pistol” name but a little different shape. The traditional pistol shape flares out into the palm on the upper hand and usually has a flat top for your thumb to rest easily. The new grips feature two sizes at the moment, the 1.0 and 2.0, with the latter looking significantly larger.

This new Pistol Lock grip looks to have a similar flat top and flared-out back in the upper hand like the original. The taper to the upper hand looks to start further down the shaft and has a more pronounced shape at the top of the grip. The lower-hand section also might look to have a touch more taper to it, but sometimes these shapes are hard to tell from just photos. Here are the new Pistol Lock grips next to the current Pistol.

Check out the rest of our photos from the 2024 Cognizant Classic
Also spotted at the Cognizant Classic: LA Golf Malibu X putter with a new face insert
