Hey guys, im new to this forum but am long time competitive golfer who is finally going to take the plunge and build my dream golf studio at our CrossFit facility. we have a spare room that measures 25'L x 23'W. I want to make it a REALLY nice studio but am such an avid DIY'er that i cant imagine...

Ive been away for a while. I read the massive thread-specific for GC2 and LX. Question 1: does GC2 need an add on peripheral to allow putting? Question 2: does the LX need marking on the ball similar to Vector? Question 3: is LX more comparable to GC or the Vector? Thanks

I just got an email for their new driver. Plus Abu Dhabi Golf Club is now free with new order. The times I tried it when actually taped, it read fine. I can hardly hit my own driver, let alone another lol

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...

Is anyone running Optishot on an Apple product such as an iMac or Macbook? Is there any way to do this? 4 computers at home, all Apples! let me know!

Not sure where else to put this and ask. There is a course on P3pro called Montery Bay for the Prem Courses and the fringe has about a 50% penalty for terrain. Would this be an issue when the course was made or would this be a P3pro issue? Is that a course that any other simulator uses and...

Hi Guys, Ok back to the drawing board here, I'm having a new home built and wish to place a golf simulator/home theatre in the basemement, and as such would like to find out what option would be best for me. Knowing that is a very open ended question here is what I'm looking for (and I realize...

Hello all, I am new to the forum, but from Google this is the BEST forum for launch monitors/sims/etc. I'll be posting in the introduction section but wanted to get my question out first. I've been thinking of trying to create a business model to rent a launch monitor. As just in the past...

Hello Golf Pro in Ireland, have had GolfTek Pro 7 simulator for five years paid alot of money but been working perfect but recently launch sensor is not working properly. So when I went to look up GolfTek I see they are no more. Does anyone know of company or persons who are able to fix my Pro 7?...

Anyone use or try the Sony Action Cam for filming your golf swing? It is integrated with the V1 golf app for the iPad and thus you can record video via the action cam and transfer it to the iPad wirelessly.

Has anyone experienced large distance discrepancies between commercial simulators/launch monitors? I've been working on a Flightscope recently. The other day I went to a place that uses HD Golf. My numbers were 30 yards less. There is a difference in hitting surfaces between the two. The...

Hi, Firstly, let me thank members like bubba, rdh, zmax and mmlincon for your commitment to this forum. Your wealth of knowledge is invaluable and you guys have really helped me to start to understand this technology. I was hoping to hear what you guys think about what sim to buy for under...

Very interesting night. So while the little one was at soccer I decided to go to GolfTown to check out the sim and the new R1. GolfTown for those who don't know are a major Golf retail in Canada. Right now GolfTown are using the About Golf 3 Track system but will be switching to the GC2 very soon....

Hey fellow sim players. I would like to know everyone's Clubhead speed . Mine is SW : 65mph for 90 yards and Driver : 92-102 for 250- 280 yards. Is this below average or average ? I am tweaking my optishot with thicker turf and wondering if my speed is slower ? I think I have to go to golftown...

I found some tees online for the p3proswing that has a round tip that supposedly will not fly out of the rubber tee holder. I cant find the link again. Anyone familiar with this product and were to order them?

Is this basically the Optishot? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unex-Advanced-Golf-Simulator-/271032563743?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f1accb81f#ht_2065wt_922 Any takers? Interesting!!!!!

I've been doing some research and came across this board. It seems as though everyone here is pretty educated about the different launch monitors and different technologies used in them and simulators. I recently built a home and have a large area in the currently unfinished basement where I...

Hey All, I'm on my way to the PGA Merchandise Show and will be taking videos of all of the latest and greatest stuff. I will be uploading the videos to my YouTube Channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/Par2ProVirtualGolf) and then posting the links here as well. If anyone wants me to check...

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

I started a new classified ad forum for you guys to buy & sell used sim gear. The forum is to be used for private sales only - no commercial ads, or links to promotions. It's just a place to move gear between users. Home Simulators - Equipment

Hello everyone, Can anyone tell me what kind of net is used in front of the projector screen on the Golf Fix program? I would like to put up a net to quiet the impact but still have images projected through the net. Thanks!

Anyone have info on this new simulator? http://www.dmswing.com/index.html and http://www.dmswing.com/spec.html

I'm going to be putting a SIM in the finished basement of the home I'm building this summer. I've spent countless hours reading threads, and I think I've got a couple of options in mind, but I thought I would pick the brains of the experts here. 1. I'm a 10 handicap. My friends are in the...

With so many devices on the market which gives you true and accuate club head data???? I know trackman is the holy grail for ballflight data but does it give you accurate club head data? What about Swingbyte and Proswing swing analyzer? What about Protee? What about GC2 HMT The reason I ask is...

Maybe this is old news, but I am now seeing the GC2 being sold on-line at Golfsmith.

I'm a regular lurker here, as I'm planning on putting a SIM in the new house I'm building this year. I've been following the GGS LX launch monitor thread over in the hardware forum, but I'm confused about who is who. Can anyone help me differentiate between these two players? ...

Just announced is Swingbyte 2.0! Here is a video- http://vimeo.com/57813905 (at the end they show the redesigned Swingbyte and new app) The story is here- http://www.thegolfwire.com/stories/278082 BIG News is the "Intelligent Target Recognition". It now uses video (camera from...

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

They are now taking pre orders and the app is available via the Apple App Store. It looks very promising, but who knows how accurate it is. Maybe Cory will see it at the PGA show.

I am looking for software to use with my Vector Pro. I have not been terribly impressed with Vector Pros driving range and wanted to see if there were some better ones on the market. To my understanding Ping nflight can be used with the Vector Pro but, I have called Ping and they will only allow...

With all these new attachment gizmos being released, would it be feasible to make simulator software that takes into consideration all the statistics provided by the analyzers? These things supposedly give numerous stats, like tempo, swing speed, path, club face angle, etc., so couldn't...

I've recently purchased the P3Proswing and am getting odd readings for wedge shots 60 yards and in. 95% of the time it shows the face angle wide open at impact forceing shots right. I know this isn't right because the actual ball goes straight. I've adjusted my lighting and my full shots get...

Hi guys, if anyone has modified their ceiling to get more clearance can you please share your experiences with us or post a few pics ? I'm thinking you could get another foot of room if you swing between a joist but I don't think it would be enough lateral room so maybe you have to cut one and...
