Forum: Home Simulators - General

I'm opening a golf simulator business but I am having a tough time thinking of a catchy name. Any ideas? The best idea I've been able to come up is "19th Hole Golf"

Here is the course list on the new P3Pro Simulator Software> P3ProSwing Virtual Course - Course Guide Book Abu Dhabi Golf Club Pelican Hill Ocean Course - South Augusta National Golf Club Bro Balsta Estonia Golf & Country Club - Sea Course Old Course at St Andrews Sharjah Golf & Shooting...

As the title says been reading some links here and from what I can say people seem to like the accuracy of the p3 pro much more than the optishot. At this time these are the only two that I can really afford. Question I guess I have is from the members here is, would you say this opinion is...

After one month of use, I'd have to say I'm generally pretty pleased with the DD. However the visibility of the ball (among other things) in the camera views is really limiting our overall enjoyment of the simulator. It's just not very realistic. When my wife and I first got the DD we...

I am planning on setting up my simulator in my garage. It has a 10 ft ceiling. I would like to use my exisiting projector, although it is not a short throw type. My concern is that because the PX2 requires an overhead light to work, I am going to have trouble with the light from the projector...

There's been a lot of discussion of nice features E6 offers regardless what sim you use. Thought I ask the E6 experts on what their top feastures are they like the most. Please identify your top features / aspects of E6. Also note what sim you used it on and if the feature was an interface...

For those that have their sim setup in a garage or unfiinished basement do you use any special portable heating during the cold months? My sim is in a room in the house but the practice greens are in an unfinished basement. Gets a little chilly in winter. Was thinking about some type of...

Been a long-time lurker, surprised no mention of this new entrant so figured I'd join to inform the only simulator forum on the Internet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF6HSrdlkD8 Can't tell if it is a radar unit that tracks the club or what. Seems to give distance but no indication if it...

Does anyone have any experience with a Holidliday Golf sim. How does it compare to the Pro Tee and the GSA

I have gotten to try out the P3PRO and I must say it was really really accurate with almost any club I tried, all different types (at Sports Authority). BUT the thing is the Base Package is a little off in a couple ways compared to other simulators. Most others include a grass top and some...

All, The GC2 calculates side spin in RPMs, but other devices calculate spin axis in degrees. Can side spin RPMs be converted to spin axis degrees?

What are your favorite camera views? I like the chase ball cam. What camera view do people generally use?

Hi A quick technical question. Does anyone know anything about the flight formula which are used in golf simulators to work out the ball flight? I have come across a number of formulas to calculate the ball flight based on initial launch conditions (e.g launch angle/velocity/direction and...

Can anyone post HD Screenshots from Optishot's new improved courses or P3Proswings new courses or both??? The ones online are very small plus low-resolution. Thanks!!

I just heard that the P3pro launch monitor will not be integrated with the GSA courses at this time. To say that I am dissapointed would be an understatement. It sounds like they are busy with other projects and have put the launch integration on the back burner for now :grumpy:. I think they will...

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...

Received my Optishot two days ago and I am still testing. Got some strange results using the practice range with the swing speeds. If I use the same physical club (6 iron) and only change the club selection in Optishot I get different swing club speed measurements (when swinging the 6 iron at the...

I am curious if anyone has ever figured out an issue similar to mine. I am a natural hooker of the ball and for some reason I am getting 15-22 degree open club face result. I have tried to turn all light off, overload a room with lights and so forth. I even have tried to super hook it and the...

I was curious as it comes to software or getting updates on the optishot, are there and downfalls of buying a system used? Apears you can get it for about 100 dollars off on some units that are used but when it comes to registering your product anyone ever run into any issues?

So to keep a long story short we only have a 6 month golf season or so where I live. I bought the optishot really to just have some fun gets a little boring just hitting balls into my net. Anyway I am about a plus 1 handicapt with swing kind of like bruce litzke not orthadox hit big slice but I...

Hello, I am new to this forum, I purchased the optishot last year around this time and played on it maybe about 2 weeks and then stored it away because of such inaccurate results, I am a golf teaching pro and play to a 2 handicap I know when i put a good swing on the ball and exactly where i hit in...

In either viewing mode (Follow the ball, or Player's perspective) we find the ball so small it is very hard to see. In fact, in the "follow the ball" camera mode we basically don't see the ball until it drops out of the sky as a tiny spec at the last second and rolls on the ground! Instead of...

Has anyone attempted to run the GC2 simulation software on an Apple Macbook running Windows? I see the notebook specs are as follows: WINDOWS 7 (32 or 64 bit) 3Gb RAM or greater 2.0 GHZ Dual, Quad Core, or i series processors or greater (AMD or Intel) Video Card – 1 GB RAM or greater with...

Not to be confused with Optishot. Uses 1 single high speed cam at 1000's of frames per second. Cam is angled to allow for ball measurement, speed, spin and vertical/horizontal launch angles. Then the software takes over and simulates. Seems high end at a cost well over $30-40K. Interesting that it...

I understand that one of the down-side to the GC2 is that if you are playing with another play who swings the other way, you are going to need to move the unit between shots. Has anyone done this with the GC2? Is it a real pain? Are there wires involved or is it wireless?

Has anybody seen or used one of these? Who makes the sensor? http://www.golfindoor.com/golf_simulator_video_multimedia.html

Just for fun I took the Optishot out to the driving range today in order to compare the simulation with the actual shots in realtime as I hit them. My driver swing speed varied between 100-105 and agreed within a couple mph with my radar gun. Occasionally there were silly readings of 85 mph...

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,...

What simulator would you pick for a indoor golf simulator? Which simulator provides the best mix of realism, accuracy, easy of use maintenance, and start up cost? Which software would you select?

Just thought I would start a new thread to discuss how any sim help with 2 of the weaker areas in most amateurs - Target Alignment and Short Game (including chipping, putting and sand play). My feeling is no sim really helps that much in these areas but interested in everyones thoughts.

What's your favourite indoor golf center you've been to?

Any info on the Konami Golf Connection? It kinda looks like the GC2 but has a sensor in the backas well. The videos don't do it the best justice for horizontal accuracy but perhaps the setup is not great. I wonder what software engine they are using? It sounds like an online simulator system....

What happened to the thread that was pinned to the top with pictures of peoples' set ups? I just received my PX2 and am now scrambling to select other gear and put things together. I received the PX2 from Martin much sooner than anticipated and am not prepared. :-)
