Forum: Home Simulators - General

Hi all, new forum member from Australia here. Congratulations on such a great discussion board! My question is, I have a budget of around $3.5k and am wondering whether I can get a better deal by going down the DIY route than buying one of the off the shelf simulator packages? Ideally, I'd like...

I haven't seen much on this...

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...

Just a tidbit that was announced today... As you know, GSA Golf and these other packages all run on the Red Chain software engine. That engine was used for a PC game version (typical mouse swing / click) called CustomPlay golf. The software never really took of and never got a retail release....

Just want to start off by saying this is a great forum with a lot of great contributors and information. So thank you for that. So let's say you had an initial budget of $3,000 (and already had a computer, projector, screen, etc.). I am leaning towards the PX2 and then slowly adding on to it...

These guys are crazy. I seriously hope no one pays for this. The device comes with free built in bluetooth, but only for Andriod? If you want to connect to apple it's an extra $500? :thumbsdow

First, sorry if this is the wrong forum. So, after reading as much as I can, I am as lost on where to start or what to look for than I have ever been. Things I know: 1. Camera based simulators are a lot better than sensor based. 2. Ball data is good if you want to see where the ball...

As many of you may know, I was the Operations Manager at Sports Vision Technology, maker of the P3ProSwing. On 1/3/2019, we had a meeting where the owner announced he was closing the company on 1/25/2019 for good. He did not want any notification to the customer until it was announced there....

Other than the GC2 being cheaper what are the big differences between these two? Is one more accurate than the other, or is the simulation software substantially better in one of them?

I was wondering if other PX2 users could show some screen shots of your settings and whatever you can. I just want to see what others have there settings and things set too. Plan on getting cams but we r looking next fall/winter for that so want to make the most of just the sensor board. Thanks

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....

Looking at purchasing a course package and would like people's opinion on which one is preferred. Already have the fitting plus 5 package, but would like one that has a good mix of recognizable/fun courses and is basically the best bang for the buck. Wish it were not so pricey, but it seems that...

I noticed that swingsense has the Golf club for $995.00 on their website. I contacted Foresight sports and they said that I would need to pay a $999.00 SDK fee to use third party software. I haven't heard of anybody who had the protee & golf club doing this. I'm just looking for more options...

Hi all, a few weeks ago I posted that I was getting ready to build my sim. So now that it is complete I thought I would put some general information out there. EQUIPMENT (PARTS LIST) SKY TRAK BENQ projector INTEL i7 8700 with 16GB of memory. Running a Geforce RTX 2070 Country Club...

Good day, I am new to this board and to the simulator world. I have read quite a few threads, and got a lot of info. But I still have a lots of questions. I have started a new thread, so I do not interfere with the more advanced conversation on the GSA thread. My first of many questions...

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...

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...

Hi, I bought a new Optishot and have been trying it out. Have worked on the lighting setup so there should be no issues there. Getting very slow swing speeds from the unit and the club head alignment also seems off. Strange thing is that even with the slow swing speed the distances are...

I was looking over some of the golf packages and compared the differences between these two. This is summarizing it up- P3ProSwing ProXCS Package Sensor Unit Premium Grass Top Surface Upgrade Golf Swing Analyzer software Video Capture Software 43 Premium Courses

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.

Currently have a indoor batting cage and pitching facility. There have been a lot of inquiries about adding an indoor golf simulator. There is nothing like this in the area and it would be mostly for entertainment I assume. Would anyone have any recommedations for which would be the best for...

Just wondering if anyone has heard a sniff in regards to what's happening with this software? It's Christmas and no word yet?

I upgrade my firmware and the simulation software today and now I can't get everything to work. I can get it to work on my computer screen, but when I send it to my projector I am unable to click on any of the icons. I am able to move my mouse onto an option - such as practice, but when I click...

Hello Everyone, I'm building a new house with 10" ceilings (ICF construction), and I'm wondering about the dimensions required for a golf simulator, width and length as well as how many feet the screen would be from the wall, distance of hitting area to screen, as well as distance of the...

I'm going to be putting a SIM in the finished basement of the home I'm building this summer. I've spent countless hours reading threads, and I think I've got a couple of options in mind, but I thought I would pick the brains of the experts here. 1. I'm a 10 handicap. My friends are in the...

I recently picked up a thicker optishot cover from jagmanjoe, and I'm looking at options for a stance mat. It's pretty thick, I think around 2 1/2 inches total so is there any other options besides buiding the platform with plywood and insulation board?

Pre-payers check your email. For the rest i guess you can go to foresight's website to see what new. Got a course catalog in the email but not sure if they posted it in the website yet.

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?

3 Versions so far published. I plan on doing different/harder pin locations, but it won't be right away! Stonebridge GC - Ottawa(Tour) Elongated in places for console gaming. Stonebridge GC - Ottawa(Black - A - ProTee) 6450 Yards. Stonebridge GC - Ottawa(Blue - A - ProTee)

I rarely see a thread where people tell their success stories with improving their game. My set up is near complete so I have put 3 hours a day of practice time instead of 4 hours planning my next upgrade to my set up or troubleshooting issues. Lets get to the point, 10 minutes ago a dream of...

Alright guys, I've done tons of research on other sites and have decided this forum is THE place for info on the OptiShot. Since I need to make a decision soon for delivery by "Santa", I'm asking for your expert advice! My husband and son are both very good golfers....handicap indexes are 3 and 1....

I'm looking at Golftek vs GGS and comparing what they use to measure but still a little confused. It looks like both systems use the shadow method for measurement. Golftek has sensors that measure the ball ( "what" speed, spin, angle ) and st1-2 gives you 2 courses. GGS. What is the...

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...
