Has anyone seen this on youtube. Man does that look expensive. Check it out. I am not sure how to post a link. I see that Cory looked at it at the PGA Expo. I would guess that this would cost 70K plus. It has a lot of features and looks good.

Just curious if anyone has experience with any of these devices. They look very interesting...not sure if they'd be suitable to integrate with simulator software (as an alternative to something like the DD), but I think they're a very interesting option to add on for someone with a camera-based...

Hello everyone, I have been looking at the forum for some time as a guest and now I want to buy a golf simulator. But with so many choices I have no idea what to buy. I have enough space and I am willing to spend up to $30k. I want to have the simulator for improving my play and to have some...

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.

Just pressed the button on Motionview advanced- $225 and a second PS3 Eye Camera. this will upgrade my video analysis to 2 cameras at 75 fps and be able to do 4 simultaneous screens so I can compare to a pro side by side- back and side view at same time. Anyone with Motionview advanced can...

I have a P3ProSwing now but they are too slow to develop any ball measurement capabilities. I have been eyeing the Golf Achiever. As always, I am not well versed with the product, not to the extent of the inside stuff that is discussed here. I know several of you who ownded the P3Pro and...

Currently have a indoor batting cage and pitching facility. There have been a lot of inquiries about adding an indoor golf simulator. There is nothing like this in the area and it would be mostly for entertainment I assume. Would anyone have any recommedations for which would be the best for...

I am having fun on Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 Xbox 360 Kinect. In the living room , with my clubs and the full body motion of swinging a club Tiger Woods 13’s Kinect support is pure fun. Using the Kinect to swing feels natural because you are literally swinging a club. This works best when...

Does anyone have direct experience with the Flightscope in a simulator situation ? I really like the portability and it appears to give more club data than a GC2 (without HMT). I know it won't work for putting. Is it possible to have an additional sensor for putting in the E6 software ? I'm waiting...

Hey All, Wow, so this was a bit of a shocker for me this morning as I have worked with both companies for a while now... You can check out the press release here: http://www.golfsimulatornews.com/?p=129 I will be talking with the guys later this week to get all the details.

My Dad has been playing for years and I'm trying to convince him to get a home simulator. He's not willing to spend $30k for one, but he seems open to the idea for a $5k one. He's by no means a great golfer, but loves to play and wants to practice when he can't get out to the course. I, on the...

hello my friends, after a year of saving and research on this great forum, based on my budget i have decided on the trugolf technique personal. it should arrive next week so it will give me time to find a pc and touch monitor. i noticed when i demoed the sim the graphics did not run as...

Why I bought the P3ProSwing over Optishot. Tips for you to ponder if you are choosing. First - Fathers day sale date sensitive comment: (probably every year however) This is not an add as I have nothing to do with it or gain nothing But Golfsmith is selling the P3ProSwing for the usual $599 but...

Bubba22 got to play on a Foregolf simulator the other day and was kind enough to share his findings with me. Foregolf is basically a North America distributor for Sportscoach. Both use the same hardware/cameras and the GPS simulation software. The complete system with enclosure and installation...

Is this a good plan or not? Buy both simulators Part 1) Buy the P3Proswing. I read and conclude (right or wrong I don't know yet) That I should buy the P3Proswing for superior accuracy in my quest to improve my swing Part 2) Forget the additional fee course for the P3Proswing and save...

Hi, I've got a TruGolf Prestige setup and it is telling me that my 8-iron is only going about 70 yards on average (I hit about 50 shots and none above 85 yards). I'm a sub-100 golfer and that distance is off by about 50 yards for me. Any advice on how to configure the TruGolf to have more...

Other than the GC2 being cheaper what are the big differences between these two? Is one more accurate than the other, or is the simulation software substantially better in one of them?

P3ProSwing has some refurbished simulators for for $499.00 plus shipping. Below is a listing for the simulator. Would you go Optishot or this route? Would like your thoughts on which way to go because of the free courses you get with optishot, compared to the expense of getting courses for the...

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has the same problem? In Tigerwoods 08 mode, no matter what player or swing setting I use, it seems like I only get a half swing and a driver goes max 160 yards.(normal for me is 260). Also, is it normal to have a long delay after my swing?

The launch cam for Protee has arrived... Just testing the final touches on the Protee cam. It works like a charm. Just what I have been waiting for and it is great. The launch angle is recorded perfectly and the ball speed as well. I am very happy with the software integration with the...

Just curious how far from the screen is everybody hitting on their sims. I have a GC2 unit and I am hitting just barely over 3meters from the screen. How about you???

Watching the The Players golf tournament on the Golf Channel and they are using simulation to show the hole layout that looks a lot like GSA. Anyone agree or feel the same way? The Trees sure look like GSA trees.. Not sure why I care.. Just found it interesting.

The New Flightscope T-box simulator that was Introduced just at the PGA Merchandise Show, and a video was put up by it.- Is there any info online about or the price? Might go by a different name? Thanks!

I used my GC2 on a practive putting green yesterday and was not impressed with any numbers I was getting off it, the ball speed was consistant but nothing else was. I aligned it straight ahead at the hole and figured as I putt the straight putt it would say something very close to straight, but...
