Forum: Home Simulators - General

Hi All, Thought I would create a thread to get feedback on whether using a simulator has improved your actual game. Has your handicap reduced as a direct result of using your simulator? If so, which part of your game has improved (e.g Driving, Long Irons, Chipping, Putting etc..)? Indeed, has...

Hi Guys! I got the chance to try the Virtual Golf Sim at a friends house Hotel today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRuYSeUkM_g I am not that technicaly educated on the hardware of these sims but I think to the side at floor level is a high speed camera. On the ceiling their is what looks like...

I'm looking to set up an area at home... given that I'm using something like a Protee or GC2 where there is no minimum space behind the mat (e.g. Flightscope or Trackman) what do you think the minimum length, width and height requirements might be? Thanks, T

Hi guys, I'm wondering why someone hasn't produced a simulator solely using webcams? Sounds like the Protee Sim is successfully using a webcam to track ball launch. Why can't a couple of webcams accurately monitor club data? If such a system could be produced it would have a couple of...

Sorry if this is way off topic but I was wondering if people have tried Tiger Woods 2012 on PS3 with the Move. I'll probably be in the market for a golf sim when I move into my own place (rather than an apt) but for now this will have to be my fix. I just got the game and the Move and can't...

Hi guys, First I would like to say that this forum has been an amazing experience for me. It is great to see a community of people who genuinely want to help other golf enthusiasts. The amount of time and patience that some of the main guys have shown on here with newbies like myself is...

For those who are wondering what P3ProSwing is like, here are links to videos I made. This should give you a pretty good idea of the experience: Version 4.2 Swing Analyzer Demo w/ Video Capture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4j4rT3EWVaM Doral Blue Monster Long Drive Challenge:...

So we had a demo day at the club today and the Calaway guys had the trackman which seemed really accurate but Im not sure how well it would work for me with a limited flight into the hitting screen but it seemed very nice. The Titliest guys had the CG2 there and I hit over 30 driver with about 8...

Hello Everyone, I am new to this awesome forum and have lurked and reseached a many of nights on a simulator. Yes I am in Florida and have my own local dilemmas from Thunderstorms and the rainy season now (just got rained out last night on golf league-got in 3 holes) to 100+ degree days with...

I am looking to setup a sim in my garage, ~10 ft ceilings, but I am amazed by the sheer volume of options available. I would greatly appreciate some guidance as I try to navigate this decision making process. At this point I am looking at a sensor unit, mat and net and would love to balance...

Are Used GAII sensors readily available somewhere in the US? Anyone know the averager cost of a used GAII? I would like to setup a used GAII based golf simulator for my garage and I can import several different golf simulator programs with minimum of 50 golf courses that works with GAIIs but...

Since the GGS thread is very big, I though I should open up a new one. The GGS MAD scientist has been busy writing articles. Check out his latest on the "theory and future" of golf simulators.http://www.golfsimfactory.com/Future.htm In the article, he explained how Trugolf and FullSwing...

Hi guys, I'm trying to compile a list of Hybrids/Woods/Drivers that work fine on the Dancin Dogg Optishot WITHOUT taping. (I'm assuming that all irons work fine). Will update the list as entries come in. Reason being, if we know what are the "ok" clubs: 1) we can get them as a spare...

Hello dear optishot users, I have my optishot since a month ago and found out that in the same conditions (light, alignment, clubs, etc.) in practice zone mode the distances are 15-20 yards longer then in 3DD mode and report roughly the same swing speed. Has anyone noticed the same? If Yes, then...

Guys, Your forum is awesome, there is no other place to get information this in depth anywhere else, thanks for your efforts. Here's my problem: I live in an area that's extremely densely populated. I used to live in an area where I could golf every day, but here that's not possible. It's...

I know the offset is different- but anyone compare how much different, if any- is each club set choice in respect to forgiveness. In real life- a blade is less forgiving than a thick soled game improvement- is it the same for the DD selection. Also- if I start out with a game improvement set...

Hello, We recently purchased a Optishot simulator and we're having a few problems. I read through the forum and I see some people are having similar problems but I haven't seen final fixes. When we first plugged the Optishot in and started swinging it was reading the face wide open. I figured...

I find it frustrating when putting on the virtual courses as the pin is transparent so you can't tell where the hole is. Does anyone know a way of making the pin visible when putting so that you can get a better sense of distance to the hole

This new look is horrible. Very cartoonish.

I bought a Dancin Dogg simulator a few years back and recently found it in the attic. The problem is that my software is missing. I went to their site and all they had was some new version. I don't need the new version, I just want what I had originally. Does anyone have the original copy that...

Anybody could help? Can I import the courses (.CPG) designed by CustomPlay course editor into Protee 2.0? Or how can I convert it to Protee courses?

All: I LOVE this forum! I've been thinking about putting a simulator in my basement for several years now and I've just gotten really serious in the last 6-8 weeks (probably itching from no golf since October!). I wish I would have found this forum earlier! The forum has given me a lot of...

If I bought just the PX2 sensor mat with the 20 courses used my own computer, camera, and bought a screen would I be able to play golf? I am confused about all this. What exactly would I be able to do? Or do I have to by more right to begin with?????? Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My swing is not as consistent as some single digit folks here like bubba or zmax (I picked them because they are ex-p3pro users). Im just a mid-handi here rebuilding my swing. it has come to the point now where if i find a good swing using my p3pro, i feel that i need to run to the range to verify...

Has anyone tries the Golftek ST1 and how does it compare to the P3ProSwing? I am looking for a swing to improve my swing mechanics. I will end up buying one of these two simulators but have not yet decided on which one. REgards, Singlin:)

So guys, I played 3 rds with a buddy at my office yesterday and we had a really good time. As we played there were certain things that would arise and I decided to write them down and ask about them in here. First off we played the black mountain course and I think it is the best course they...

New to this board - although not new to P3Pro and GSA courses... or more accurately CPG courses. Quite surprised I couldn't find this forum after two years of looking for P3Pro users that I could chat to and discuss the various issues and problems surrounding the P3Pro hardware/software. I...

I've got a set of Ping Karsten black dots and can't find the specifications for the clubs so that I can personalize my Optishot. Does anyone have any idea where I can find them? I Googled and also visited Ping's website.

Hi all. First post here. I have been lurking for a while but since I finally pulled the trigger on buying an Optishot I thought I would chime in. I ordered it last friday with a 15% off coupon and free shipping and hope to see it this week sometime. I have been playing Tiger Woods 2010 on the Wii...

Hi to all ! I am new here and I am a 8 handicap Golfer living in the Italian Alps. My golf course is only open 4 months of the year due to snow. I am interested in investing up to 2500 Dollars on a sim to keep my game up to scratch during the period that the course is closed. My budjet is 2500...

Does anyone know if a sensor exists that measures how effectively you shift your weight during the swing? I had a Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) done a few days ago and the indoor simulator that they used had this capability. It was awesome. I knew I was not very effective at shifting my...

Interesting...not sure if it's a full new version of the hardware or just some software tweaks: http://www.golfclubbusiness.com/index.php?showtopic=15141&pid=15140&st=0&#entry15140

Good day all, Anybody can give me advice which sim between Pro 7 , CG2 foresight or Pro tee fit for my cafe? ( I plan to ad my cafe sim golf for my customer which is problaly new in golf/ Beginner) Thanks for the advice

Hello everyone... I am new to the forum and I have a few questions. What kind of reflective tape would work best on OptiShot? I know that DD comes out with updates... so I was wondering if they haves made any software updates to the program itself besides the courses? I am also looking to buy a...

There is another CPG/GSA software program called Hank Haney's World of Golf which is a PC game. It is the CPG/GSA software we are all familiar with under a different brand. But somehow this one works with the Nvidia 3d vision system and can be played in full stereoscopic 3d. Just spent the last...

I put a list of the questions throughout the post at the bottom, thank you so much if you read through this and answer some of my questions!:) A few years back, I became ecstatic about a thing called Q-motions. Let's just say that it ended up being a total scam (to me), and it really turned me...

Hey guys, Been using the P3Pro for my indoor lessons the past 3 years, and Chuck turned me on to your site here. I noticed Bubba has talked about drivers to allow the Eye Cam to run on Windows (running Windows 7, 64 bit). The only drivers I have found have been on "mallicious" sites:...

Not necessarily a simulator, but this technology is intriguing and seems to have all the necessary outputs to hook up to a sim. Let's hope that this technology does everything the designers claim it can do: http://www.pocketpro.org/

hey guys i need a little help here or maybe who knows alot of hrlp, but my problem is I installed optishot on my older desktop to use out in garage with my sim and after i installed it I tried to get updates and it said none where avaiable at this time.....well I am pretty sure that there should...

Thanks to JS1010 it is very easy to add voice recognition to your golf simulator. All you need to do is get the program downloaded (GlovePIE (link was posted in GGS/GSA Simulator page 6)). You have to click on the using green power to get to the download and just do the one with E Motiv 043. ...
