Where to buy - PlayBetter vs Rain or Shine vs Amazon vs Direct?
Ready to buy my SkyTrak+ and seeing it available from multiple retailers at the same price.
Does it matter where I buy from?
PlayBetter: Shows up on lots of recommendations. Affiliate marketing? Rain or Shine: Golf sim specialists, might have better support? Amazon: Easy returns if something is wrong Direct from SkyTrak: Probably best warranty support?
Any experiences with customer service or returns from these retailers?
Also, anyone know if any of these run sales? Should I wait for a deal?

I bought from PlayBetter and had a great experience. Their customer service was really responsive when I had questions about setup.
The "affiliate marketing" concern is real - they pay content creators for referrals - but that doesn't mean the product or service is bad. They're legit.
Rain or Shine has great bundles if you're buying a complete setup. Got my enclosure, screen, and mat together and saved about $200 vs buying separately.
They also have golf sim specialists who can help with setup questions. Felt more personalized than Amazon.
I'd avoid Amazon for launch monitors honestly. Too many stories of counterfeit or refurbished units sold as new. For something that expensive, I want to know it's legit.
