Forum: Home Simulators - General

Any suggestions on what to do here. On impact the ball is hitting the impact screen, sliding across and hitting the walls. From other videos I'm seeing the ball should hit the screen and drop. Is this an issue with not enough tension? I've got grommets on the left and right sides that are bungieed...

I bought a Skytrack golf simulator and now getting ready to hang the impact screen and have a question on ball placement. The area in the garage I am installing it is 10.6W x 19L. Which as long as the mat in on the right side I have plenty of room to swing my driver. How important is it that the...

Hi there, wondering which software to use for teaching ? I have a Gc2 but don't really want to spend the $3800 fsx. Looking for a good driving range application. Thanks

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...

Hi: I am thinking of getting a golf simulator in my basement. The room is more than 15 feet wide, 20 feet long with 10 ft high ceilings. If cost was not a consideration, which one is the best golf simulator on the market. I have read a lot about hd golf, about golf, full swing golf and recently...

Any recomedations for simulator in this price range. (including screen, cage, etc..) Some use IR sensor for ball flight, others sonic and others camera-is one better than the others? What about getting started with sensor only-How much more accurate is it with ball sensor. Also my room is only...

Hey everybody, I'm just now starting to learn about home golf simulators. I'm dying to get one, but I'm not sure where to start. I'm looking to spend around $10k and I don't mind mix and matching different equipment. I'm mostly concerned with the accuracy of the system. I will spend most of my time...

I'm setting up a home simulator and am wondering what indoor turf OG members would recommend. Turf manufactured or distributed in Canada/Ontario would be preferred due to shipping and duty costs. I'm looking for something that replicates the spin/launch characteristics of real turf as closely as...

I'm looking for the an accurate swing analyzer/simulator that can be used without a ball. I like to play in the evenings, and using real or practice balls would unfortunately create too much noise. I'm looking to improve my game, so club data is priority #1 and a good sim would just be bonus. I...

I thought I'd start a new thread to discuss the "Best" Protee course, realizing of course that "Best" can be defined in any number of ways.

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.

I was looking at a GC2 with FSX software -but then I came upon TGC, which looks like better software. My question is whether one software package is better than the other for actual game improvement. Although I want to be able to "play" golf on the system (and TGC definitely looks better for...

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...

So many choices...I am looking at the Champions but the Tours and Fantasy package looks good to...opinions?

I have my setup pretty well tweaked, but for one issue. With my driver, I occasionally get a very slow swing speed of around 5 mph. I think it is a combination of the taped club being too high for the sensors and the tee getting in the way of reading. I tend to get the best results when I use a...

Kids were hitting with dirty clubs and I have a few marks on my screen. Ugh! The screen is custom made....it's a 2 piece screen system with a heavy mesh material along with a front screen that is made out of a trapeze material. Thanks! Pat

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 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?

hi everyone. i was having serious bounce back issue with my simulator so after reading some post i installed some big blue moving covers in back of my screen. it work perfectly and reduced bounce back to 3-4 feet max. the problem is after just a few rounds the blue cover is getting destroyed by...

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.

Garage dimension 18 D, 10 W, 14 ( I realize 10 W is too narrow- could go to 14 ft) Trackman v Trugolf v ProTee v Foresight Cheaper to purchase individual components v package? However I am not very handy. reason for sim: play golf in winter (a lot of snow), swing analysis.

Hi all, I like to build my own simulator in my garage (2 cars place). Ceiling height is ok (8.5'), as long as I don't use my driver :) here are my constraints : - Budget : between 4000 to 7000 $ for everything (computer excluded ; I've got one) : - sensor + putting sensor -...

I'm in the process of finishing my basement and I am providing myself a dedicated golf simulator/home theater room. I was deadset on getting the PX5 GSA system until I saw the "New Game Changer" LX Surround. Then I came upon this forum and read a thread that started years ago with Martin claiming...

I added a big garage and wife wants a simulator. She also wants a bar n table in the back. My life is hard with such demands. We have astroturf over concrete for the floor with wirsbo. Nothing else is set in stone.... i had hoped to build it 15 x20 inside dims and accomodate both hands. She is...

Hey fellas, finally got my optishot and am researching on materials to build my stance mat. What type of foam underpadding is recommended?

Hello all, I am new to the forum, but from Google this is the BEST forum for launch monitors/sims/etc. I'll be posting in the introduction section but wanted to get my question out first. I've been thinking of trying to create a business model to rent a launch monitor. As just in the past...

Hey everyone I'm usually just lurking and haven't posted in while... I've been luck enough to find a gc2 used and have few questions before I make the payment. Are all gc2 the same... Asked from the gc2a that has apple support... He said this unit is from 2011 would there be anything I should...

Well as you may have seen in another post I decided to take an opportunity to buy a used Flightscope X2 here in the UK for home use. I had read lots of reviews of various options and decided that when a 3 year old X2 came up for £3500 (roughly US$5000) that it was worth taking the risk compared to...

Hey Guys Im looking to set up a home sim. Im 6 feet tall and was wondering how much ceiling height I would need to swing a driver. What do you guys have?

Hello All, I'm struggling with protection for my ceiling. I've put velcro on foam and attached it but after a few days it is coming off. I'm wondering what other options people have? I'm not considering a 10' by 10' net, in the 1' from the ceiling area. Has anyone used netting in such a way?...

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...
