Forum: Home Simulators - General

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...

I have several courses and in general like them. I don't think the graphics are even close to the Golf Club, but the courses look nice. However, when I do a fly by they stutter or now show a black sky with a moon on the screen. I think I have the minimum requirements exceeded by a lot and only...

All: I LOVE this forum! I've been thinking about putting a simulator in my basement for several years now and I've just gotten really serious in the last 6-8 weeks (probably itching from no golf since October!). I wish I would have found this forum earlier! The forum has given me a lot of...

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...

Do we have a definitive answer yet on the proper way to get a driver to be read/calibrated? I know many have mentioned reflective tape, but do we have an answer as the best way to tape it? Is it along the bottom? Club face? Along bottom then wrapping up to club face? I've seen others tape the...

SwingProfile Video Capture Software Cory posted video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFV-adI3Rc8&feature=related I'm buying as long as yon can use a real club instead of that ps3 move controller style thing!! Like the idea commentators will use on TV to say why Tiger mi**** a shot? ...

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.

Just pressed the button on Motionview advanced- $225 and a second PS3 Eye Camera. this will upgrade my video analysis to 2 cameras at 75 fps and be able to do 4 simultaneous screens so I can compare to a pro side by side- back and side view at same time. Anyone with Motionview advanced can...

Simple question really Does the online play work? Is there anyone ever on it?

Anyone following the Perfect parallel Blog? http://www.perfectparallel.com/blog/ Our scores are going to go to **** what with every one trying to hit it in the bunker because they are so good and trying to hit the tee markers to hear the different sounds!!

Bubba Is it possible to start this thread as a sticky so we can all post links to hole in one videos as bragging rights? Mine on GC2 today Brabazon hole 7 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVX2UQ75MXg&feature=youtu.be

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

Both are promised later in the year. Yes the videos are just demos and the real software may not live up to it BUT which looks the best and why? PP http://vimeo.com/61099282 http://vimeo.com/61099281

I have left my unit inside my golf bag for almost a month in the trunk of my car. Yesterday I tried to use it in the range, but the unit does not start. I'm not using the original AC adapter- never got it - and the battery is busted. Has anyone has this happen to them, and, if so, how did you...

Hello folks, First a little background: I myself am not yet a golfer but have been toying with the idea of getting into it for a few years. My dad who is an avid golfer has been trying to get me hooked for over a decade but I resisted for some unknown reason. This year for Christmas he purchased...

My Dad has been playing for years and I'm trying to convince him to get a home simulator. He's not willing to spend $30k for one, but he seems open to the idea for a $5k one. He's by no means a great golfer, but loves to play and wants to practice when he can't get out to the course. I, on the...

Not sure if this has been discussed but I would like to learn more about potentially creating/modifying golf holes using software tools. I was thinking that perhaps Red Chain had some capability? Thx

Has anyone received any news about a release of an Old Course for DD? I hoped to see an email concerning, but I guess not. -DBS

Good day all, Anybody can give me advice which sim between Pro 7 , CG2 foresight or Pro tee fit for my cafe? ( I plan to ad my cafe sim golf for my customer which is problaly new in golf/ Beginner) Thanks for the advice

I'm putting a simulator in my new home and have set aside a 18x17x10 room and am down to the two sim providers above primarily based on their sales team and experience hitting on the fullswing system. Spending a ton of time demo'ing the various systems unfortunately isn't an option. I don't...

Hello everyone, I have been looking at the forum for some time as a guest and now I want to buy a golf simulator. But with so many choices I have no idea what to buy. I have enough space and I am willing to spend up to $30k. I want to have the simulator for improving my play and to have some...

I am not looking for a debate on which is a better a product but which is better for me. I am a 20 handicap that slices with the driver 40 percent of the time. Will both systems pick up this slice ? Driver only I see the P3 classic is 599.oo and seems to have the bells and whistles so why...

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...

Well i play the About Golf today for 1 hr on the range. What i found was a little surprising. The set up used two camera sets at 45 degree angles facing downward. The hitting area used fairway, rough, sand , tee and stance mat left and right. To all wondering if the hitting surface makes a...

Trying my GC2 on my laptop and cant find the password for the sim software. FS100101???

Is there an agreed upon temperature light that should be used with Optishot. I can't get a straight answer from the company. Sounds like 5000K is too similar to daylight and 3000K or less is too much IR/too incandescent. Is 4000K ideal? I'm looking to get a warm filter to go over my 5000K LED...

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...

Hi I'm looking for advice for the best Laptop to run a optishot 2 I am currently getting conflicting information over the Graphics Card. Some say I need a more powerful in dependant card some others say the below spec should work, please can you help... Option 1 £320 HP Amd A8 Processor...

New to forum but been reading a ton for last month. Need help for my basement simulator. Room is 18ft by 27ft. Size not an issue. All my friends are right handed. I talked to Cory at par2pro and he is very helpful no doubt and I plan on buYing from him. Question is which is best for my...

Just ordered a Vector Pro. I was wondering if there are any good simulators that have integration with the Vector pro besides TruGolf's E6 simulator that anyone knows of. If someone knows of a "hack" that would allow the readings from the device to be used with another simulator like Optishot or...

i have the grass top i set the tee height for irons to 5/8 and it seems pretty close. is woods for driver and fairway woods cause i dont tee the ball for my fairway woods and have to switch it every time. is there something that im missing?

I've owned a p3pro claret for some time. The rubber top is not ideal, but neither is sending off my unit to p3 to have them fit it with a grass option. Has anyone used the after market grass covers available on eBay or through Cory? Honestly after reading some reviews on some of the other...

I just got room to setup my P3 Proswing for the first time in a few years. Being out of the loop for a couple of years, I was excited to see that P3 had made some advancements very recently. I was also sort of discouraged to see so many have moved on from their P3s. Ball Spin - The 48 hour...

I only have the "basic" pack at this time, and I'm interested in grabbing one of the other large course packs. First - how are these courses provided? USB stick via snail mail? Digital download? I'd be much more inclined to buy a pack right now if I could have it to play over the weekend...

I've dialed in quite a few of my settings for my P3, and I'm pretty happy with how it's performing. One thing I'm interested in improving is the putting... I have my putter taped, but I'm just not enjoying putting at the moment. I know this is probably about the hardest thing to replicate on a...

After a lot of research on Golf Simulator Forums I became frustrated. I was looking for an affordable, accurate Golf Simulator system. I was fortunate to stumble upon Custom Design Golf.com. What I like about this site is that it won’t allow you purchase anything online. They contact you and...

Well winters coming, getting more and more rain. I decided to finally start finishing my P3Pro setup in the basement. Awhile ago I bought a lot of the stuff (P3Pro during their 50% off promotion), a mat, cordura fabric, a computer and projector, but after playing with it a bit I kind of just let...
