Have Tiger Woods 2008 on my laptop and Optishot installed. I have read tons of posts saying it works but I can't configure either... a little help sure would be great. This what I followed... Follow the steps below to use the OptiShot Swing Pad with Tiger Woods PGA Tour. Please note, Optishot...

If you go to the P3Proswing's website they put up a message that says "P3ProSwing chosen as World Dunes Technology Partner". These guys must think we are fools. First off, World Dunes is their own brand. It's their new online golf play forum (which still uses the RedChain courses and the...

Hello all, I am in the market for a golf simulator and have tried to digest all the information on this forum but still have many questions. I know this is common but I am hoping that some of you can provide viable opinions on the best system for me and my budget/needs. Budget: 4k (note -...

I'm building a new sim room on my house and it will be 15'W X 21'L X 10'H I'm getting my turf to cover the entire room from ProPuttsystems.com Here is my issue: I want to use some Elite Mats that are 3' L X 20" W to hit off of. I'm a big guy and need firmness under my feet but the turf is not...

I like mine but it's "ball view" seems so much smaller than the regular GC2. It seems the area is 2"x2" and it's getting annoying. Any reason it would be smaller than the ball zone on the normal unit?

So I will have a bay that is 10'H X 12'W X 10'D that will house my impact screen that has top and side blackout curtains already. Should I just paint the walls of the room or use some type of carpeting to cover them? If I use paint does it need to be black or dark? Thanks

I have a Fiberbuilt system with the rough and sand panels and was hoping to build a sliding track that will make the gc2 go back and forth to pickup balls located in these different areas. Yes I know their is a commercial product that does this, but it seems a bit steep $ wise and was hoping...

I have a HQ screen and the Par2Pro site says it's made to withstand balls hit repeatedly. Why the need for a backing net? I have a enclosure of 1" emt and thick drapes. The screen is affixed to the drape with Velcro and bungee paracord gives the sides and bottom some nice elasticity.

Hi folks - new to the forum. I am getting close to pulling the trigger on a GC2. I will need to buy a seperate PC to operate it with. I am looking to buy it online, but not sure what specific requirments i need to meet when i purchase the PC. Thanks!

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...

Cory what is this puttingshark? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKk0wd1pwVk It looks like the p3pro? Am I mising something?

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...

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...

Version 2.5 now available Online players out there will love the HUGE multiplayer speed improvement. For the best performance set TURN ORDER ANIMATION to NONE. New Harvest Theme Added 15,000+ New Golf Courses Metric Display Added to Settings Fixed Green Speed for All Courses Fixed Fairway...

I find the p3pro data very important to understand your swing. We mostly talk about the clubface angle, clubpath and speed however this sim also gives the angle of attack, club heights through impact, heel/toe heights, sweet spot as well as launch angle (not for GSA yet :grumpy:) The setup for...

What does this competitive comparison chart mean? Is this useful at all? http://www.p3proswing.com/accessory/P3ProSwing-Golf-Simulator-Sale.htm

My son got the TW 2011 wii for xmas (between that and the p3pro he should be scratch in a few weeks) and the graphics are absolutely awesome. Why can't a sim company use graphics like that?

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.

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....

The sim seems high end. It is competing with the About golf, Full Swing etc at a $50K price tag. The sim was a single cam based sim (high speed at 5000fps) but the latest version is 2 cams at 10,000 fps each. Ball tracking only. Its a complete package sim. No ball marking needed. All shots, chips,...

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...

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

Thought I would start a thread for the ProTee users to make requests, suggestions etc on the hardware and software side of things. I would really like to see different clubs available (hybrids etc) or at least the option to create changes in name, loft etc to the different available clubs. It...

Just though I would start a discussion on some of the simulator numbers (ball spin, launch, direction and club data- path and face angle) and how well or not so well these numbers add up. Some of the sims like the HD golf sim are quite expensive and claim to be the most "accurate" by measuring...

I have been using the Kinovea for some time. Its an awesome free motion analysis software which can be used with high speed video cams. Very, very good for FREE!!!! http://www.kinovea.org/en/forum/ Check it out and give some feedback.

Is this basically the Optishot? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unex-Advanced-Golf-Simulator-/271032563743?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f1accb81f#ht_2065wt_922 Any takers? Interesting!!!!!

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,...

Anyone have info on this new simulator? http://www.dmswing.com/index.html and http://www.dmswing.com/spec.html

Very interesting night. So while the little one was at soccer I decided to go to GolfTown to check out the sim and the new R1. GolfTown for those who don't know are a major Golf retail in Canada. Right now GolfTown are using the About Golf 3 Track system but will be switching to the GC2 very soon....

I had the chance to spend some time with the folks a Visual Sports http://m.visualsportssys.com/?ref=ht...ortssys.com%2F. I thought it would be a good idea to get an update as to what they ar working on. They have made some good advancements in the golf simulation world with some really nice...

Quick review of the ES16. It now works great with TGC and has club and ball data displayed. Connection is via Bluetooth with the ES16 TGC interface. Works flawless.once connected you need a TGC liscence and your off to the races. Club and ball data are both displayed. The unit requires the...

I had a chance to test the EZ Tee Hybrid turf. I got a hitting strip from Sean at Synthetic turf in Ontario. He is awesome and very knowledgeable. The turf is excellent. It has a thick pile on a thin nylon backing. It’s about 1 3/8 thick. It has the perfect amount of softness and grab. It is not...
