Forum: Home Simulators - General

These guys are crazy. I seriously hope no one pays for this. The device comes with free built in bluetooth, but only for Andriod? If you want to connect to apple it's an extra $500? :thumbsdow

GC2 users - I created this thread for us to collect our wish list of upgrades to the redchain software for the GC2 simulator. This is not a complaint list but a way for us to collect our recommendations for feature enhancements. Heard foresight / redchain are planning a software revision for...

So todays challenge for those of you with Augusta on your sim is to drop the ball in the trees on the 10th where bubba was and get it down in 2- you win the masters.

Just kinda throwing this stupid question out there. But is the type of golfball you are using noticeable on the best simulators/range finders? I just bought the gc-2 system, and was curious to see if I could see a noticeable distance / spin change when using different types of golf balls. ...

New to site, have probably read every thread from three years old to recent,hard to know what changes have been implemented if any, I'm planning on being thrilled with my set up, hope I'm not disappointed. Many years of putting all this and the room together,here is my plan, would love comments and...

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 must say that I am very happy with the Protee bunker play. The ability to setup the bunker penalty is great. I focus on the technique of opening the club, wider open stance and not grounding the club in the sim just like real bunker play. The Fiberbuilt mat is quite good. Its great to practice...

I'm working with very specific space requirements. Is it better to have more width or more depth? I can configure my custom indoor cage to be: - Very deep, but 10 ft wide (can I do L/R with this?) or - Very wide but would have to hit 10' away from screen I'm considering ProTee and...

I've read everything recent that has been posted about these two units, but I still have some unanswered questions. I would appreciate any advice those of you with hands on experience can give. I'm looking to build a simulator in a room with plenty of height and width. My goal is to work on my...

Anyone know of a list that shows the GSA course names vs the actual course names? For example Akron = Firestone CC A brief description of the course would be coo too. 85 is a lot of course to keep track of and remember.....

Good day, I am new to this board and to the simulator world. I have read quite a few threads, and got a lot of info. But I still have a lots of questions. I have started a new thread, so I do not interfere with the more advanced conversation on the GSA thread. My first of many questions...

Hey All, I am looking for feedback on the new Par T system. Seems they have a couple of sims out there (models ES9000 & ES1100). Would love to hear from anyone who has one or has used one. Cheers, Cory

Against my better judgement, I've narrowed my decision down to the px5 I think. I live on the west coast and made arrangements to go see martin in Florida and boy was I not impressed. After spending on an extra flight, rental and hotel, He still feels no need to follow up as promised. But I...

I have been a lurker on the site for a little while now andI cant thank all of you on here for all of the information I have learned. I realize I am about to ask the most frequently askedquestion on the form but my situation is a little different and I will try toexplain my needs as well as...

Planning on building a new house with an area in the basement. Looking for equally accurate ball flight and a top notch graphics. I'm open to anything, tired of looking at all the different websites trying to claim they are "the best". If this has been covered already, I apologize.

Anybody want to tee off with me online when I get my GSA courses? It would be nice to start an online golf league of some sort here. Imagine Ryder Cup style: USA vs Canada. i can set up a very nice interactive website for something like this.

I was wondering if other PX2 users could show some screen shots of your settings and whatever you can. I just want to see what others have there settings and things set too. Plan on getting cams but we r looking next fall/winter for that so want to make the most of just the sensor board. Thanks

I have the opportunity to either purchase a used P3ProSwing Champions Studio for $5k or build my own from scratch using Optishot or other DIY sim components. Is this a no-brainer? I'm assuming I won't be able to build a better system than the P3 Champions Studio for <$5k? I'm looking for...

It says High Definition Golf will be displaying their NEW Curved Simulator Screens at the PGA Show. It says it will give you a total feeling of immersion. I wonder how different the feeling would be from a traditional flat screen???

It says "Online Play is Here" on the packages now on their site! That is really cool! I think they are the first sub $5-grand sim to do that? I don't see any info yet on it.. I'm guessing it will be updated along with the PGA Show going on now or in a couple days? So the P3ProSwing PRO...

I contacted Foresight Sports about transferring ownership of the Foresight GC2 and software yesterday. The funny thing was that the guy I talked with in Foresight was surprised about that question. He told me, he never heard of anyone asking that question before. Has anyone bought a used GC2?

Hey all, I've been reading the forum the past few days and Im trying to narrow my home sim choice down. It seems the p3p, the vector or maybe y'all can talk me into another brand. (i know the vector is more of an analyzer but seems very accurate) I had a question in regards to the grass/rubber...

I have a budget of about $5000 to spend on a sim which would be in my garage. What I would like it to be is more like the sims at GolfTown. I currently have the optishot which is OK but does not give me accurate numbers. I would like spin #, height of shot, backspin, etc. I take golf lessons...

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

Currently using GC2 with redchain software. It seems like other sims that interface to redchain (gsa / protee) may allow users flexibility to either create an interface to the software to make adjustments to the algorithms. If this is true how do you do it? Meaning does gsa / protee provide...

I have been using the Kinovea for some time. Its an awesome free motion analysis software which can be used with high speed video cams. Very, very good for FREE!!!! http://www.kinovea.org/en/forum/ Check it out and give some feedback.

I'm looking for a minimal distance between hitting net and wall so that the ball does not bounce off of the wall. Didn't find a specific thread, some mention 12"-15" for an impact screen. Any hints?

Does anyone on this forum have any experience with the Extreme Green Putting System? There aren't any in my area to personally check out, but it certainly appears to be a good value if it's as good as it looks.

I have been on here for a long time now. Lot's of great info and help. Always looking for more info. Are there any other Sites that have lot's of Simulator Forum talk that you go on? :)

First I'd like to say I'm very glad I finally came across this site. I've been researching my "personal golf dome" for about 3 months now and didn't find this forum until yesterday. Since then I've been reading through the threads and have learned more in the past 24 hours than the previous 3...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMxqMY0r7wE Check out the video above from Cory. Face angle doesn't seem right to me. Foresight showed off a club measuring device at last year's show and it also had problems. The full featured HTM sells for $6500 I think.

Does anyone have any News or Links from Optishot or P3ProSwing from PGA Merchandise Show showing any new features they came out with?? I heard about Optishot's new Package and P3ProSwings new online feature, but anything else from either of them? Thanks

I just heard from Red Chain that they're releasing a new update to Martin that sounds really good. The list of changes are: * Sidespin slider * Fixed a bug in practice affecting club choice * Rough penalty slider * Bunker penalty slider * Added a slider in the game options to tilt the shot...

I am close to purchasing the P3Pro but wanted to get some advice from folks within the forum. There is a wealth of knowledge within this forum! $1000.00 is the most I want to spend, which is about how much the P3Pro base unit + grass cover cost (over 2x the cost of optishot). First, is this...

i have the grass top i set the tee height for irons to 5/8 and it seems pretty close. is woods for driver and fairway woods cause i dont tee the ball for my fairway woods and have to switch it every time. is there something that im missing?
