Forum: Home Simulators - General

Hello. When ball is at uphill lie and i hit, from a distance, say a seven iron... Or even pw near green... Ball always hits the ground... Like its going to drill its way to center of the earth. Near green this means that it jumps from top of the hill and runs far... Or it just hit that hill and...

I am considering foregolf I would like your opinions. Also thoughts about camera vs sensor systems

Dunno if u can consider a "simulator", may be not. But for sure it's seems to me a nice "addon" for a simulator or something to use with a simulator. Im thinking to give it a try (30 days trial). But I've to buy the 3d camera.. Does anyone have tried it? Any review? Worth the...

Given that there are some very informed people on these forums, I just wondered what the general consensus was regarding the future? At the moment golf simulators are incredibly expensive, but, there seems to be an absolute explosion of low cost swing monitors coming onto the scene. Swingbyte,...

Hi all It's my first post here but have I been lurking for some time. Congratulations on having the best resource pool for golf simulation on the entire net. Your reputation is truly global :thumbsup. Anyhow, bum-licking session over and down to business.... I have just ordered the...

Well, after being sent a dodgy Optishot unit a week or two back from Amazon, my replacement turned up yesterday. Set it up, spent a while inputting club data then I gave it a whirl. Initially I was a bit miffed as it kept on telling me that the face was closed. Quite severely at times. I put it...

Hi all I have had a real good trawling session on this forum but there is just sooo much information. I'm not complaining, lol, but it can be tricky to gain a clear picture. Anyhow, I am seriously contemplating getting either a G2, or a Protee running E6. Now I realise that the G2 is going to...

.......... on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. It looks very comprehensive indeed, and the course creation side of things looks incredibly powerful. Does anyone know if it would be possible to shoehorn any simulation hardware onto this? I shall be buying it anyway upon it's release, but it would be great...

Hi, I am building this since there is no room to make one inside. I am looking for suggestions. 1.) dark enough inside so the projected image looks bright. 2.) ENough sturdiness to withstand weather/rain, but possibly able to be broken down and transported Power would be supplied from...

Hear me out. Just for fun, I'd like to make a short video at the range, but have the ball tracers like you see on ESPN. An example at 14:30: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL_Q-DpjNEU&feature=related Now, I'm wondering what this would take to accomplish. - Most direct method is to just...

My old computer that I had originally loaded the OptiShot software on has bit the dust. Am I able to reload OptiShot on my new computer without any problems or do I need to get some kind of new license key from OptiShot? I thought I read a thread sometime back that someone else had a problem with...

New to this thread. Hoping you guys could help me out. I am a 10 handicap and looking to get better at golf. I love playing and have wanted a simulator for awhile and have just now decided to get one. This will primarily be used for just hitting the ball and working on swing fundamentals (I video a...

Hello all, This post is a thank you to Cory from Par2Pro. I sent him a long email last night detailing my requirements for a home sim and he actually called me today, long distance, and answered all of my questions, even though he does not distribute the P3Pro sim to my area. I was very...

Hi, my first post! From Victoria BC, where we were able to play golf for 5 weeks straight until yesterday when 1 foot of snow came out of nowhere! So much for next week's annual flower count. Anyways, so glad to have found this very helpful golf sim forum. I picked up a DD sim the other...

I am new to this site and just started a project to build a simulator in my Garage as I have seen others in this forum already do. It seems that "Corey" is they guy I should be talking to regarding specific pieces of equipment I may need. Can anyone advise me on how to contact Corey directly? ...

Hi everyone from the south! I'm knew to posting here but have been using this forum for awhile now to get info on building my own simulator for commercial/teaching uses. I'm a golf professional in North Carolina and i'm rented out a space to do indoor instruction as well as play with a...

Trying to research short throw projectors and i keep hitting a wall. Anyone have any experience with them. Trying to keep it in the 700-800 dollar range. And need to get a 10x10 display. The closer i can get to the screen and still fill it up the better. I just cant tell if epson vs. dell...

I just ordered the opti and preparing a room to set it up. Would appreciate if someone would address these two concerns I have. The hitting pad appears small. Is there any chance of it moving out of place after a swing? I will be setting it on an industrial carpet . I'm a 10 handicapper...

Just took my opti out of the box and will be installing software this afternoon. Question: I took the tee holder out from the bottom. When I hit irons from the turf, of course I will keep the holder out, but is it necessary to hit the turf where the hole is to get an accurate reading. Or can I...

I just set up and need help regarding club distances. With a full swing, I'm getting about 50 yards with an 8 iron. Real golf I hit about 120. I'm using old clubs and not my regular callaways. Would that make a difference. Is there something I need to do to get realistic distances? I'm set up...
