Forum: Home Simulators - General

Hey All, I am still working on the online store right now (www.par2pro.com/catalog) but I will be starting up the DIY Sim site soon and need your feedback. Since this will be a site that many of you will be posting on, I would love to hear what you would like to see and be able to do on the...

I have had a chance to try different irons Muzuno blades/muscle back, Ping G5 and Tour Edge Exotics irons. All have shiny soles but are progressively larger for more game improvement. The 4 iron sole width was Muzuno 3/4 inch, G5 1 inch and Exotics 1 1/4 inch. All clubs had similair offset. With...

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone who uses their Sim to play the TW08 courses has managed to change the view to more of a "Sim view" (e.g. from 10 or so yards into the ball flight) rather than seeing the player from behind. I have managed to do it by changing the cameras and pressing the...

Hello Everyone! Just wanted to thank everyone for their Optishot thread contribution. It was a long thread but well worth the read. There was also some very educational material about various sims that peak my interest. Just wanted a opinions on everyone's setup, especially those that are...

Anyone have any experience with the Pro Tee simulator? I heard about it from Bubba and checked out their web-site - it looks fairly impressive.

There is another CPG/GSA software program called Hank Haney's World of Golf which is a PC game. It is the CPG/GSA software we are all familiar with under a different brand. But somehow this one works with the Nvidia 3d vision system and can be played in full stereoscopic 3d. Just spent the last...

I just noticed Cog Hill is now available for purchase.

How accurate were golf simulators in the early 1990's and what could you compare them to to todays simulators or not. Regards, Simon:)

Has anyone tried a GolfZon sim? Supposedly measures spin and hitting surfaces that can slope. Not sure if they resell yet in the US though...

Anyone know if you can buy AboutGolf components and build your own with their software and 3track system? Rep says cheapest full sim residential install is 35k. Technology seems nice but obviuosly with a price.

As you probably noticed we have split the forum into 2 sections today. General and Hardware. Please start new threads in the appropriate section. Thanks.

I did a search and there are some threads about the mat people are using to stand on, but what are some ideas to make the stance mat height level with your simulator pad? The GSA PX2 is a little more than 3 inches tall, so how have others dealt with it? Plywood, building a frame from 1x2's,...

Hi, I'm new here.:P Great info in the forum! I have a Net Return Pro which has been great for practice in my back yard, but it's getting kind of boring. I also have 2 little ones which limits my time on the links. So I decided to put the Net Return into one of the bays of my garage and...

There are 2 indoor golf bars opening up in my city, the one now open uses truegolfswing e6, the 2 others are going with x golf simulator and foresight gc2. From rue experiences which would be the most realistic, which the most forgiving and play around? Thanks for any help in advance

Just an interesting note. I tried to open the interface for the Tiger Woods game 08 on my windows 7 computer in the past and it would not compute the swing as it never was compatible but by right clicking on the icon for the interface and then properties-compatibility- then check the run in xp...

I've heard that Trump National in NY has a simulator in the clubhouse, have you guys noticed courses adding them for rainy or cold days or as an alternative to the driving range or an added bonus for members? Trying to understand how most avid golfers view simulators...ie as an alternative to a...

I am having some trouble with the launch angle on my Trugolf when it comes to the woods. The best drive with my 10.5 driver the launch is 2 degrees. My 3 wood and 5 wood and even the hybrid's are bad. Any ideas which setting to tweak for this? The irons are fine.

I have a 512 nivida gratification card. Would I get a better image if I upgrade to a higher one?

The Uvex sim seems to be a copy of the Optishot. Has anyone ever tried it ?

What exactly does the update to version 1.5 do? I can't find any readme or list of updates. Anyone know?

I am using a slightly modified PX1 circuit board from Martin for a golf project I am working on. I have had custom software written for me that integrates with this circuit board. All prior testing of my software and the PX1 has been done using my laptop with a mid-range graphics card. Because...

I see optishot doesn't give a lot or any info on whats new or upcoming features to there system. I watch the PGA golf show about sims and all except optishot gave a lot of info about what they are doing and upcoming changes to there software. I no optishot is a cheap system but it would be nice for...

Just curious if anyone else has encountered a problem with the Software not launching the ball on the course. Control panel is reading the trajectory etc....Box is green in both the control panel and GSA gold as well as the Prox but when I hit the ball it does not launch on the course. If I right...

Does anyone have any experience with the Custom Design Golf - BentGreen? I need to work on my putting -- and I am looking for some type of indoor solution. My main focus is on 10' and in. Thanks

It has come to my attention that users here may need a reminder that we have rules of conduct on this forum.

Gentleman looking for some opinions, i play 3-4 games in the sim every winter and never know what course to pick. What are some of your favourites? Keep in mind im not looking to play something absolutely tree lined, a little bit of forgiveness is nice!

They had 3 open GC2 Range bays to try demo clubs at Golfsmith today. I must admit it is Amazing!!!!! The kind of feedback you get from your swing and data is a major help. It was very easy too to use. It really made trying different clubs out fun, seeing the advantage to each one.

Hey All, Well the PGA Edmonton Show has come and gone and we had a great time providing the equipment and operating the Closest-to-the-Pin fundraiser. We were able to challenge a lot of people and raise about $1200 for the Ronald McDonald House to help support children in need. The KP was 8"! ...

Anyone ever used one? I can't find much on it and found one for sell for 6K.

Well still looking and trying to find a system to put in my ready to go room but nothing new out there. Have been talking with simtech quit a bit but still nothing positive about its out date. Anything else coming out that someone knows about?

Hi everyone and thank you from Italy to let me be part of your big and wonderful community and explain so many interesting things about golf simulators

Hey All, I was able to get out to the PGA Expo again this year and got some videos for y'all :) PS: No other company was there (ie. SkyTrak, SimTech, Full Swing, HD, etc.), just TrackMan, FlightScope, Foresight Sports and Ernest Sports. Demo Day at Cascata in Boulder City, NV PGA...

Hi everybody, I ran into a problem where the FSS now crashes the computer on startup yesterday and have been unable to run it since. Foreisight looks to have removed the software updates from thier website for the FSS software, so I'm curious what the latest version is and if anybody has a link...

Building a new simulator and need help choosing a projector. I'll start by saying I am not tech savy and I've tried the Projector Calculator Website and I'm still confused. I am using the ProTee system with a 14x10 impact screen, I'd prefer to set the projector overhead and I have up to 25 feet...

I have the performance fitting app for the GC2. Why doesn't it give you an option to switch it to lefty. When a lefty is swinging, the data is extremely confusing to read especially since they don't reverse the club face (I have HMT). Like for instance, the display can say the swing is...

I have been away a bit. I just visited the Foresight Drivers/Download section and noticed two new things.. 1. Foresight Sports Swing Camera 2. Shot Counter Recharge Application I don't know anything about these..can someone shed some light on them? Thanks!

Saw this on Martin's site: November 11 2014 Possible massive GSA Golf course software price increase and E6 exclusive It has come to our knowledge that the supplier of the GSA Golf Courses software has been acquired by another rival golf simulator company. At present we are not...

Working on the final stages of my optishot simulator setup. I have made two hitting surfaces, one for lefties and one for righties. I have 1 friend that will be playing occasionally and he's a lefty. I will be simply moving the optishot sensor pad for the time being when he is playing. My question...

I have left my unit inside my golf bag for almost a month in the trunk of my car. Yesterday I tried to use it in the range, but the unit does not start. I'm not using the original AC adapter- never got it - and the battery is busted. Has anyone has this happen to them, and, if so, how did you...

(Delete thread, sorry )

Check this out:http://www.virtualgreen.com/#features The contours Actually change of the putting surface!!!! Could you imagine that setup in a simulator? Putting would actually be intuitive for the most part.

Moved to classifieds

I am currently testing our new set-up and will post a review soon but would like to get more time on it. The one thing I have found so far is the mini map on the GC2 software does not represent the correct hole (usually stays on the first hole) or is sometimes blacked out. Does anyone have a fix...
