Forum: Home Simulators - General

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

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...

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,...

Does this mean that we could play their software with a Foresight GC2? I really hope so! http://thegolfclubgame.com/

I usually carry 140 with 7 iron, but optishot shows me just about 110 and swing speed is around 65.(normally 78)I found my optishot is not very accuracy about the swing speed. is anybody have the same problem with me? So everyone should reset the club option when we brought it home? or it is the...

Is it possible to buy E6 connect for protee? I opened a ticket with protee and was told they only support it for commercial installations, I asked for a reason why and was given they same answer without an explanation. Doesn't make sense, if it works in commercial installs why not allow it for...

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 see optishot doesn't give a lot or any info on whats new or upcoming features to there system. I watch the PGA golf show about sims and all except optishot gave a lot of info about what they are doing and upcoming changes to there software. I no optishot is a cheap system but it would be nice for...

If you live near Ottawa, Can I come view your Skytrak set up? Hoping you also have TGC2019 on it. I live in Cobden and really want to see one before I buy one...

I'm hoping to buy a Skytrak so I can play TGC with it in my Simulator. I already own TGC sim software and was hoping I can just purchase a Skytrak and set it up with my current software. I have read on Skytrak's website that I would need to: 1. Purchase their Game improvement package for...

I am trying to get back into golf after a 6-year hiatus. However, as I live in NYC and work long hours, practice time is nearly impossible to come by during the week. I recently ran across the idea of getting an indoor golf simulator and am interested in perhaps going this route. I have done a...

Anyone try these two at the same time? I know the software is not compatible, but will they read the same shot without interference?

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...

I impulse bought an optishot for my garage build, but now wonder if I should have researched a little more? Nothing against Optishot, I just should have did my research.

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, long time reader, first time poster. I have just purchased a Accusport vector pro with microlense. It is on its way through the Australian postal system. I have been reading up on some of the forums about this LM and would like to ask a question I have not been able to find the...

Hello, I am new to this forum, I purchased the optishot last year around this time and played on it maybe about 2 weeks and then stored it away because of such inaccurate results, I am a golf teaching pro and play to a 2 handicap I know when i put a good swing on the ball and exactly where i hit in...

GC2 HMT owners.... Bought the HMT and have question on sticker locations for the clubs... Irons mid point is supposed to be between the 6 and 7th score line per their instructions. That is above my where pattern. Either I am always catching thin and too low or their mid point is too high. ...

Hello, I am new to the forum. I just picked up a lightly used Vector Pro for the coming winter. I am trying to get it running in Windows 8.1 Pro but not having much success. it works fine in Windows 7. I think I need a Windows 8 device driver for the Vector Pro. Has anyone ran this on Windows 8 64...

Yes, this is a review of the alpha version, not the full release or beta version... alpha. (I hope its alpha, i don't know what the developers are calling it) With that introduction, i hope you're expecting a bare bones kind of simulator because as currently released thats exactly what it is...

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.

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...

I heard that another company was going to take over or something similar to keep it going. Their site is down as well. The ST-1 looked nice. Thanks

Hi guys So I've picked up a p3pro and the iron shots seem to be not the best as far as distance control. I tape the irons , and I've played with the smash factor and launch angle. And it seems to be better. My question I guess what other tips on which controls I should be adjusting and not...

Bubba22 got to play on a Foregolf simulator the other day and was kind enough to share his findings with me. Foregolf is basically a North America distributor for Sportscoach. Both use the same hardware/cameras and the GPS simulation software. The complete system with enclosure and installation...

First, a little background...New to golf, been mostly a range rat for the past few months. I hit about 50 balls a day either at the range, or foam balls with a 9-iron in my backyard, so I am improving. I'm setting up the Optishot simulator in my large shed, and while it's not completed, I have...

Sorry for all the questions...I know that GC2 doesn't give club head data. I would like to use a simulator to play rounds of golf and work on my swing. I usually hit golf balls at the driving range and work my swing via ball flight at the range. It seems to me that the GC2 is easy to setup...

I've been doing some research and came across this board. It seems as though everyone here is pretty educated about the different launch monitors and different technologies used in them and simulators. I recently built a home and have a large area in the currently unfinished basement where I...

Curious of feedback of anyone that switched from GC2 HMT to GCQuad? Or even GC2 to Quad. Don't use it for gaming purposes. Use it for indoor training mostly club fitting / range mode. Do you see any improvement on accuracy or ball projection for carry and shape? My GC2 seems to be more...

I would like people to list ONLY Tips you have learned to make the P3Proswing easier or better to play. If anyone knows how to pick a club by hitting a hotkey (like #3 for 3iron) or how to pick a loft of a shot your about to hit (like low for knock down) please let us know! The more the...

Howdy, I've been playing with the Optishot for a week now I think I like it. I don't have any open face issues and I don't have to tape any clubs. My driver and 3 wood are Taylormade Burner 07's, hybrids are Ping G10 clones, and irons are cavity-backed/blade Mizuno MP30(?) clones. I do...

After finding this forum, I find great help and knowledge. I am looking at purchasing my first sim and was wanting a little advise. I am a 6 handicap, and I am looking for a sim that can help me improve my swing. I would probably use the driving range more than the simulated courses. ...

P3ProSwing has some refurbished simulators for for $499.00 plus shipping. Below is a listing for the simulator. Would you go Optishot or this route? Would like your thoughts on which way to go because of the free courses you get with optishot, compared to the expense of getting courses for the...

Decision Time: Skytrac Vs Protee. I see where Skytrac now has TGC. With each system now having access to TGC and the cost for each around $3K to $3500 it would appear that it comes down to accuracy, ease of use, data retrieval of review to help with improvement. Does anyone have experience...

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?

Have any of the other GC2 owners had any luck connecting the GC2 via bluetooth? I get to the point of attempting to connect, but the connection always times out. My laptop has built in bluetooth and I am running Windows 7. I notice in the instructions that it indicates that you must be running...

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

As the title says been reading some links here and from what I can say people seem to like the accuracy of the p3 pro much more than the optishot. At this time these are the only two that I can really afford. Question I guess I have is from the members here is, would you say this opinion is...

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...

Hi all.... well I have finally done it...bit the bullet and decided to convert a second bedroom into a golf simulator room. Want to say thanks to all that have gone before me it has been a great source of information. Got the sim from Par2Pro and they have been great. I found a great deal...

Hello, I am in the planning process and am planning to maximize my room and go with a 16ft x 9ft impact screen. As i place markers on the wall the size becomes real. I had planned on going with a BenQ projector but did not see a viable option in my quick searches that will support this...
