Our take Our assessment (based on published specs)
Both use Foresight's camera technology and the same Foresight+ memberships (Silver $199 a year, Gold $599, Course Pass $295). The price gap is $4,000: $2,999.99 for the Launch Pro and $6,999 for the GC3.
What's published: both work indoors and outdoors, both measure ball launch data from images, and both need reflective club markers for club data ($49.99 and $50 per 192). Bushnell asks for 13 ft of depth and 6 ft of width indoors and says the Launch Pro keeps working as a standalone device. Foresight doesn't publish room requirements for the GC3. Both makers' pages contradict themselves on which club data needs a paid membership.
What's not: on the facts we track (price, room, device, spin, club data, extras and plans) nothing published puts the GC3 ahead of the Launch Pro. If the GC3 is better for you, it is for reasons Foresight doesn't state as specs we can check, and we won't guess them.
Our read: unless you have a specific reason tied to the GC3, like a fitter or coach who uses one, the Launch Pro gets you the same family of technology and memberships for $4,000 less. We haven't tested either unit; this is based on published specs.
