Forum: Home Simulators - General

I have been having trouble with the length that sand wedge shots go with my protee. I have had a lot of help trying to diagnose things, but am still having the problem. The basic problem is that about 1 out of 5 times, the measured club speed is way too high (like 90+ MPH instead of 50-60 MPH). I...

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!

I like the easy setup. I am still deciding on GC2 or Protee...I am assuming both will work and are easy to install and take down?

I am looking and can't find the answer..I am getting close to a decision and can't find if you can do short game and putting with GC2? Is it good? I am sorry if this has been asked before...please forgive me!

I am still doing my research...a quick question, how hard is it to switch from Left handed to right handed golfer when using GC2? I like the mobility but my main golfer partner is left handed and I am right handed and not sure how easy it is to switch between when we are playing a simulated...

If it possible I would like to start the journey of making this space into a golf simulator. I would like to place it against the back wall. I have 9' 9" of width to work with.

I am looking for golf simulators that have projection capability and are easy to take apart and move to another room. I am look at TruGolf (Technique Personal) and P3proswing (Champions Studio). Does anyone have other recommendations?

Hey protee guys, I'm not sure if its for real but there is a protee united ultimate edition on sale on ebay today until 3pm. Eastern stanfard time. The highest bid right now is 1125.00 for all the bells and whistles !!! It seems too good to be true ???

Hello all, I am in the market for a golf simulator and have tried to digest all the information on this forum but still have many questions. I know this is common but I am hoping that some of you can provide viable opinions on the best system for me and my budget/needs. Budget: 4k (note -...

I have a local golf retailer that is going out of business and liquidating their complete aboutGolf range setup. Specifically: Anyone have any experience with these units at home? Anyone know if it can be installed in a location with lower ceilings than the Range setup (ideally a basement with...

I'm in the process of finishing my basement and I am providing myself a dedicated golf simulator/home theater room. I was deadset on getting the PX5 GSA system until I saw the "New Game Changer" LX Surround. Then I came upon this forum and read a thread that started years ago with Martin claiming...

I found swinging at nothing, no ball, on a Simulator like P3Proswing I can't hit the ball straight, no matter how hard I try and think I'm squaring up perfectly at impact. BUT, if I put anything on the base at all to hit at, my shots are almost automatically perfectly what I think they should do....

Hey fellas, finally got my optishot and am researching on materials to build my stance mat. What type of foam underpadding is recommended?

If I had four golf simulators running Protee 2.0 Software and I put one golfer on each machine (as a foursome) - how long would it take for them to play 18 holes? Would one golfer hold up the rest of the group? Would the golfers be needing to 'rush' in order to keep pace (ie, machine is too fast...

Hey guys a new place just opened in Montreal with trutrac and E6 2 software. I'm going to check it out. Has anyone tried this Sim ? If so how is it ?

Hey guys I just noticed an anti aliasing option in my Dancin Dogg settings. I'm not sure if I should set it at 16 ( the highest) or disable it ? It was at 16 .What do you guys set it at ? Thanks,

I would like people to list ONLY Tips you have learned to make the P3Proswing easier or better to play. If anyone knows how to pick a club by hitting a hotkey (like #3 for 3iron) or how to pick a loft of a shot your about to hit (like low for knock down) please let us know! The more the...

Do they exist? The closest I've heard of is ProTee using the WGC2011 courses, but even they have to be 'enabled' by Redchain, right? Many, many years ago in desperation I hacked Links to remove the golfer and change the view angle, but without the source code I had to convert the data from...

Hello from Norway Are there anyone in this forum using the PX5 who can give me some help? I've been using the PX5 for almost 2 years now, and (after a lot of help from Martin :)) it works really good. One problem is unsolved thow. All shots are being detected as outside in. - when moving the...

Hey guys , I was just wondering what your real golf score is and your simulator score is ? In real golf I shoot mid eighties and on optishot I am about 8 shots better . I would imagine that on all sims your score should be lower. Cheers

Recently purchased some limited flight balls from Point5. http://www.pointfivegolf.com/index.html. These are a 1 piece surlyn ball. They are designed b folks that had. Link to th Caymsn ball but much, much better....

Good morning to all! I wanted to throw a question out there. Is anyone using a floor projector box (I guess similar to the Trugolf Prestiege series) in your home simulator? I can see a few benefits from this type of setup, but am not sure of the drawbacks, other than the obvious worry of ball...

The perfect parallel site has been quiet for a while. On the forums there, they said they are working on a completely new website, and have also been working on some deal to use their software on television broadcasts to render holes for fly-bys and stuff. Their facebook page has some images...

anyone tried wgt? costs a bit but it is very realistic. discuss as you will.

So I will start this thread in pure hope that FS get their act together and enable online play.

http://www.par2pro.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=22_51&products_id=242 Curious to know what you think of this simulator? Did a search and the results came up very empty for user reviews. This one would be at the top of my price range... also thinking about the P3ProSwing.

I usually carry 140 with 7 iron, but optishot shows me just about 110 and swing speed is around 65.(normally 78)I found my optishot is not very accuracy about the swing speed. is anybody have the same problem with me? So everyone should reset the club option when we brought it home? or it is the...

I added a big garage and wife wants a simulator. She also wants a bar n table in the back. My life is hard with such demands. We have astroturf over concrete for the floor with wirsbo. Nothing else is set in stone.... i had hoped to build it 15 x20 inside dims and accomodate both hands. She is...

Hey guys just registered and wanted to ask a few questions I'm looking for a golf simulator that I can use for the cold winter months coming up to help improve my swing and overall game. I am going back and forth between the Optishot and the P3ProSwing Obviously the optishot is much more...

Hi, I move my Protee setup on an new pc (Windows 7 64 bits), when i want to calibrate my HCAM and VCAM, no cameras appear in the combo box , but when i look in my device manager both cameras are ok (I tried 32 bits and 64 bits FlyCapture drivers installation). When i use the PointGrey...

Just though I would start a discussion on some of the simulator numbers (ball spin, launch, direction and club data- path and face angle) and how well or not so well these numbers add up. Some of the sims like the HD golf sim are quite expensive and claim to be the most "accurate" by measuring...

I am sure you will find this interesting- So I looked up electricspin and the site is now called "GolfPro". -http://golfprosimulators.com/ I was like is this the Launchpad or did they get bought out or what? The simulator looks identical to the last Launchpad Pro but is re-labeled and even...

Hello I'm looking for information or reviews on the lx products. I really like the idea of the lx surround which should be out in December, but i'm from England so bit worried on customer service. I really like the idea of the unit being off the ground. Im a lefty and will be doing club...

Im thinking of setting up a simulator at home. Probably some budget choice like P3proswing and just a net. Big problem however is that I live in an apartment. Don't want to upset the neighbours :) Will it be silent enough to use almostgolfballs or some foam ball? Anyone tried?

Have any of the other GC2 owners had any luck connecting the GC2 via bluetooth? I get to the point of attempting to connect, but the connection always times out. My laptop has built in bluetooth and I am running Windows 7. I notice in the instructions that it indicates that you must be running...

I'm in the planning stages of building a new house for me and my family and I want to make a designated area for a golf simulator. If money wasn't an issue, what's the best/most realistic simulator you can get installed in your home, in the US?

We consist of dad, mom(14HI), son 9yrs (loves golf) daughter 7 (dad/mom want her to love golf). We think a simulator will be useful in northwestern ohio. We have a 21' deep by 25' wide by 10'-2" height basement area that is ready for a simulator. Thought we were going with an aboutgolf system,...
