The Foresight Falcon features a reinforced aluminum frame that’s 4.5 kg (10 lbs) lighter and 112 cm (45 in) shorter than its predecessor.
Its compact design and ultra-fast processor make setup and calibration a breeze. It also features rubber shock protection, three connectivity options (Ethernet, USB-C, Wi-Fi), and a built-in power supply.

Foresight Falcon Review 2025
Design
The Falcon’s sleek, compact design immediately impresses. At approximately 1.9 m (3.5 ft) long and 11.7 kg (26 lbs), it feels sturdy yet manageable (compared to the 7-foot, 36-pound GCHawk).
Build Quality
The aluminum construction provides exceptional durability, and the streamlined form factor is a significant improvement over the bulkier GCHawk.
From the polished case to the intuitive, minimalist layout of ports and mounting points, the attention to detail is evident. Falcon’s lighter, thinner frame offers greater maneuverability and flexibility in a home simulator environment.
Accuracy
Foresight Falcon delivers tour-level tracking accuracy using the same quad-camera system as GCQuad and GCHawk. This advanced optical tracking technology captures thousands of frames per second, accurately measuring ball and club data.
Unlike radar-based systems that track ball flight over distances, Falcon analyzes impact at the moment of impact, making it one of the most reliable systems for indoor use.
Testing results show Falcon’s accuracy is nearly identical to GCQuad’s, and it boasts a large 59-inch x 28-inch hitting zone.
This allows golfers to place the ball anywhere within this area without having to precisely adjust its position before each shot. However, to collect club data, shots must be taken within one of two designated 11-inch x 11-inch zones, the standard limit for overhead monitors.
Performance
Another key advantage of Falcon is its consistent performance, even in indoor environments. Unlike radar-based systems like TrackMan iO, which are affected by lighting conditions, room size, and even ball type, Falcon delivers the same level of accuracy regardless of environmental factors.
This makes it ideal for home simulators, training studios, and professional-level practice environments where precision and repeatability are crucial.
Software and Simulation
Foresight Falcon is specifically designed for golf simulation on a real-world hitting range, as it lacks on-board data display capabilities. Therefore, superior software options are even more essential than portable GC2, GC3, and GCQuad devices.
Fortunately, Falcon is compatible with Foresight Sports’ core software platform and apps, including FSX 2020, FSX Play, FSX Pro, Foresight Fairgrounds, and the Foresight App.
Furthermore, a valid FSX license allows integration with a variety of third-party solutions, including E6 CONNECT, GSPro, Awesome Golf, Creative Golf, and Swing Catalyst.
Conclusion
If you’re looking for a professional ceiling-mounted launch monitor solution as part of a fixed installation, consider the Foresight Falcon. It brings the accessibility of the GCHawk to a practical level at a much more affordable price.
