GSA Golf Control Panel (CP) Updates
V 10.1.6.8 August 30, 2024
Click the above green button to download the latest CP update.
This is a fast download and installation,
suitable for most users that have done updates and initial installations within the last year or so.
Please note that if you using the older Flir or Point Grey cameras, then these new CP updates are not guaranteed to work
as these updates are generally specific to the functionality of the new SSi cameras.
Don't forget to run the download after it's downloaded!
A number of customers don't realize that a CP update is a dual process
i.e first download and then run the download
Note: This is an update only for previous full installations.
You cannot run this update without having first installed the full base version
if you are a new user
Click the large red button below to install the full version first if you are a new user.
Only download and run the update after downloading and installing the full version if you are a new user

GSA Golf summer special low prices coming to an end as of September
The lower summer prices of all GSA Golf products will be coming to an end this weekend.
Prices of the GSA Golf CP software will go back to its original price of $299 and $399 respectively.
The SCX IR price will increase from $2,699 to $2,999 (still less than half the price of its competitors)
And the LX2 increases from $2,499 to $2,699 and LX1 increases to $1,699.
SCX track systems now also being laser precise pre-callibrated with camera alignments fixed.
As one of the most important but somewhat difficult for users to setup is the camera alignment.
Thus, all new SCX Track systems being shipped from now on will also have laser precision pre-calibrated cameras and aligned fixed camera mounts.

LX2 Horizontal camera IR light

August 21 10:10 am
CP 10.1.6.3
New : Improved SCX ball spin detection.
August 20 4:30 pm
New LX1 and LX2 launch monitor camera and IR panel now moved to front of base
Due to the overhanging club tracking camera and IR light of the LX2, the original idea was to place the unit in the middle of the base
in order to prevent the unit from tipping over forward.
However, as the power supplies and electronics at the rear of the unit are quite heavy,
we can move the cameras and IR light panel all the way to the front of the base without any fear that unit will tip over.
August 19 2:30 pm
Brilliant new SCX IR lighting
After the success of the new LX lighting, I moved on to the SCX IR lighting.
Using just 2 CM Vision 24s but with 10 degree lenses on them, the results were astoundingly good.
Even though the exposure time was just 150 micro seconds and the gain just 200 db.
The above is the test SCX used without the IR front panel
Due to this success, I can now reduce the price of the SCX IR from $3,499 to $2,699.
The cased visible light track version will now be made redundant (i.e. too many versions) as will the SCX Pro, but I'll keep the non-cased SCX track light version for the moment.
Price goes back down $1,999
August 18 2:20 pm
New LX1 and LX2 launch monitors now ready for production
Casing design is now completed with cased on-board power supply featuring illuminated push button on/off switch.
First production run should be ready by next week end.
All parts - including black anodized frame, IR acrylic front panel, IR LED lights, cameras and lenses, power supplies, base and an assortment of fittings -
are either all in stock or on order,
August 15 2:40 pm
LX1 and LX2 mods
Both the LX1 and LX2 will now get dual 12 LED CM Vision lights for the vertical IR lighting instead of one 24 LED light.
This will allow the vertical camera to be center mounted instead of side mounted and vastly increase light spread
August 14 12:20 pm

Hi Martin, I just wanted to drop you a note to say how amazing the new VisTrak camera is.
I am still playing around with the settings and learning but the video capture and being able to see the frame by frame impact is awesome!
I also really like the way you show the ball ready/playback buttons as an overlay on the TGC.
The best part of my day is going to the tech page and seeing your latest updates - keep up the good work!
Richard L. Illinois 12/17/2020
Hi Martin- I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your efforts.
I could have bought any of the expensive and well-known golf simulators, but I’m glad I ultimately took the chance and bought your products.
It wasn’t an easy decision, as it takes a leap of faith to take the road less traveled, but it has made all the difference.
I love that your products are not perfect (no one's are) but that you strive for perfection while pushing innovation.
You’re clearly never satisfied. As soon as you develop a new software feature, or build a new camera system, you're immediately back at it working on the next iteration.
You’re a true inventor and engineer. Almost every day I download the latest beta and see how it enhances the simulation.
It's like Christmas morning everyday.
Sometimes there’s a marked improvement. Sometimes the new feature “breaks” something else.
But over days and weeks, I feel how the collective innovations are improving the overall experience.
Your products aren’t for everyone but they are a clear alternative to the high-margin corporate products that have an arm's length association with their user base.
Buying a GSA product is buying into you and becoming part of your user community.
You listen, you care, and you explore. I know many of us appreciate it but perhaps not enough of us say thanks.
Martin, thank you for an enjoyable and rewarding journey with your products in 2020.
You’ve made a COVID 19 year more endurable.
