Forum: Home Simulators - General

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...

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

This is a review for FSX that was released on 6 March. The latest FSX has added the 'play' component, which is the course simulator and made some major upgrades / bug fixes to the previously released 'fit' and 'compete' module. As a summary, in case you are not interested in reading the rest...

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.

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

Hey all... First time poster, and really wanted to get some feedback from some of you that have really seen various golf simulators. My Dad is ready to buy a golf simulator. Space and price is not an issue. He is one who hates to buy something that doesn't have it all. If he is really going to...

Hi guys, I'm after a bit of advice, if you would be so kind. I'm Thinking of buying a simulator mainly to groove my swing and to hopefully bring my handicap down (26). I want a simulator that I can also use with video analysis software that I can use to record my swings from the front...

Just got the following email from my sales rep at p3proswing: "I wanted to let you know that the new courses in brand-new graphics are now available. 37 real-life courses (including some of the best in the world) and a driving range. The total price: $999.99. Your introductory price is:...

Let hear some ideas on how to build a golf simulator and the skills needed. Hardware, software, components, IR emitters/detectors, LA cameras, Design, math, Ball flight, programming, interface, courses, GSA, etc..etc..anything that we might need or want. I have a background in electronics and...

Perfect Golf aka Perfect Parallel, is currently an early access Golf Sim Platform. You can buy the game on Steam for $20.00 US or $22.00 CDN. There are currently 14 golf courses and a driving range. The game is expected to go full release soon (rumor is end of February/early March). ...

Hey All, We just setup our new demo center with the Golftek ST1 and so I thought we needed to start a thread just based on the ST1 itself - for feedback, setups, pictures, videos etc. What better way to start the thread than a video that we took at our new demo center. It is a quick video,...

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.

Firstly - Hi folks! I've just signed up to the forum as I'm having a bit of a dilemma. I've got a double car garage and have been considering putting a golf simulator in for about 2 years now. Finally I've decided to go with it, but am unsure on which way to go. I'm in Scotland, and have a...

So I will start this thread in pure hope that FS get their act together and enable online play.

If you can , rate all the different sims you have tried or owned. Realism, graphics, experience, problems, price and support

I'm thinking of getting the gc2. Two part question. First is when I intergrate the gc2 with the software, when playing on the TGC or protee red chain, do I have to pre select the club I want to use? Or can I just grab any club and the gc2 will read it? And the second question is when the flash...

Hi there, I have just purchased a gc2 and now am deciding which software to use with it ? It's sounding like the tgc software has the best simulation play and graphics but not the best for driving range , but for less then half price then the fsx software. I will charging my simulator out as a...

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...

Hi all. ive been doing some research and curious on your thoughts. here is a list of what is important to me: No sensors in the hitting area No club taping Want both ball and club info would like options to view ball flight good graphics looking to spend under 40k and obviously lower...

Bubba, i stl cant get myself to push the button on buying the courses. i know that me and u have the same level of appreciation for the P3ProSwing and Optishot. can you rate the graphics of 3DD (scale to 10) & do the same for P3Pro's GSA courses & P3Pro's Highlands/DDunes. I just need a...

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...

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

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...

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...

Thought I would start a thread on what's more important to the average golfer, club data or ball data given both beign accurate. Understanding that the gold standard is having both but if one had to chose, which would be prefered? This certainly is a debate which would be different for clubfitters,...

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...

If you feel that the P3pro's reading of your swing speed is too low(even if it's just 5% off), resulting in a shorter distant compared to real life, then please post when you bought it and whether it's serial or USB. I'm trying to figure out whether this problem affects all or just some P3pro...

Hey All, Thought I would start a new thread for the PGA Expo info. I will be heading there next week and posting videos on my youtube channel as soon as possible. This is a lot smaller than the Merchandise Show in Orlando; however there should be some good news there... One of the 'new...

Well i play the About Golf today for 1 hr on the range. What i found was a little surprising. The set up used two camera sets at 45 degree angles facing downward. The hitting area used fairway, rough, sand , tee and stance mat left and right. To all wondering if the hitting surface makes a...

Wanted to share my experience using the Sony HDR-15R witheveryone who might be in the market for Action Cam to video tape ones golf swing.I struggled finding a camera to meet my needs because of indoor space constraints. I was limited to about 5 feet both facing and rear views. I found the Sony...

Personal pro golf sim. http://personalprogolf.com/. It essentially is the Holiday Golf sim but in a smaller package to compete with Optishot and P3pro. So another option for lower budget sim. Launch angle cam also available at $800, ouch! 10 courses that are photo based.

I have a quick question for the members here regarding GSA golf simulators. I have been reading posts on here for about 2 weeks now (there are a lot of them) about golf simulators. I really want a system that can read both club data and ball spin and I am on a pretty tight budget. I have come to...
