Has anyone successfully made the slickthings/jagmanjoe Soft Shell work with the P3proswing(Standard turf)? Joe says that this shell will only work with the rubbertop which i don't believe is a purchase option these days (or if it is, well it's too late for me). Does anyone have any tips on...

Was about to purchase a garmin gps then started thinking What is the best purchase to help my game? Been back at it for almost a year can almost shoot 90. Took a lesson here and there. With budget being an issue. I have a mat and net set up in spare room apartment. Most my free practice...

Hi Guys, I recently joined an indoor golf club near my office to give me a place to get in a little practice during the weeks (I work long hours so going to a range before or after work not really an option). The simulator they use is AboutGolf. My question is while the measured inputs...

Hi everyone! As some of you may know, optishot online tour will be playing a spécial course this weekend. I will have friends over for the occasion and so I am wondering how to play online with multiple players on the same optishot unit? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks

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.

In the process of testing a new putting app for iPhone 6. This is not yet published and is in the 2nd phase of testing. You putt and the iPhone measures club speed, ball speed, ball direction, spin and smash factor and calculates distance. Right now it's just with the iPhone 6 or 6 plus and needs a...

On the verge of purchasing a GC2 and the FSX software, even though we are getting screwed here in canada on pricing. The foresight website says to run a computer with Windows 7. Does anyone know if it will be fine with windows 8? Also has anyone been able to get it to work on an iMac?

Hey guys, I'm new around here and just building my first sim setup. I was hoping to get some help with my projector selection. I've decided to go with gc2/hmt + fsx software and I'm pumped for 4k.... I'm facing a big challenge though, the best residential 4k projector is only rated at 2000 lumens...

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...

Hi guys, A quick question that I couldn't find an answer to yet. Is it possible to control the game's (camera view) field of view while playing? In the videos I've seen, the in game golfer/ball is always centered in a projected image. Unfortunately, I don't have enough room to center...

Got an optishot for Christmas as a gift for our son. Have everything set up but the mat is not reading swings!! I have emailed dancindogg and called with no response. Have uninstalled and reinstalled with still no luck. Green light on mat is lit up but still not working. Any body out there can help

I am currently testing our new set-up and will post a review soon but would like to get more time on it. The one thing I have found so far is the mini map on the GC2 software does not represent the correct hole (usually stays on the first hole) or is sometimes blacked out. Does anyone have a fix...

Hi, Just about to buy a used Flightscope X2, there appears to be three different Apps available in the Apple App store, these being Flightscope, X2 Skills and VX2. It is not really very obvious what the difference is between the three of them, especially Flightscope and VX2 which look very...

Anyone ever use the optimal flight software with their launch monitor or launch monitor readings? Just trying to figure out what it does or how it works ?! There website isn't the best at describing things. Any help appreciated !! Thanks

I have a screen that wraps over a box frame and attached with ball bungees. If I want to add side curtains/netting in the future while keeping a wrap screen, any ideas? I'm using cimarron golf 10x10 corner kit, but I ordered two extra 3-way connectors to box up the frame...

Whom has one and how is it going with the new updates? I am looking into the Skytrak and flightscope. I know they don't work the same way and are not price the same. I am looking for indoor and outdoor personal use. Cheers,

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?

i hope that noone has answered this and if you have i am sorry , i have found a few sites stating that the e6 with be compatable with the flightscope xi model when the 1.6v comes out this month can anyone confirm this?

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...

First post here from a simulator rookie. I was told this was the place to learn all about at-home simulators. Just looking for some ideas/recommendations based on my situation: I have a space in my house that is 9'2" high and 12'4" wide and have decided I'd like to put up a simulator. I've done...

I have the projector mounted, the screen started, the platform nearly done... very, very close! Question, what do I need to do to "calibrate" my clubs with optishot before playing? I have read some things about plugging in the info and taking some slow swings over the sensor pad. Any help is...

Anyone have any experience with this doppler radar system? I am looking at the Xi+ and the Skytrak. I understand the space needed for indoor use of a doppler radar system. I am debating between both so anyone with experience and feedback would be appreciated. Cheers,

HELP!?!? :) I have the Optishot 1 and upgraded to Optishot 2 (using the Mac upgrade too). None of the regular courses show up when I load it. All I have is the driving range and the option to purchase premium course. Anybody have a fix to this?? I have an email in to support, but who knows when...

Hey All, Just finished up a great day at the 2015 PGA Merchandise Show Demo Day! You can check out the videos at https://www.youtube.com/user/Par2ProVirtualGolf/videos Please note that I am awaiting Foresight's approval to post the video of their booth so if you don't see it yet,...

Ok, a couple of daft questions because I'm a tad lost on this one. I understand that the GC2 (which I have) can now be run through The Golf Club software which is more than a little more visually pleasing than the normal Foresight software I currently have. I also understand that rather than...

So I have a budget of 25k from where I work and I'm in charge of getting it bought/installed. I am debating whether I should get 2 GC2's because the owner wants lefties to be able to play. The pivot track will cause the width of the sim to expand more than I would like (i think) and the sim has to...

Check this out:http://www.virtualgreen.com/#features The contours Actually change of the putting surface!!!! Could you imagine that setup in a simulator? Putting would actually be intuitive for the most part.

Could use some help guys- Really like accuracy of GC2 and portablity. don't like cost of software. I know there have been several posts on this topic, but I am getting ready to pull trigger and want to make sure I can make this combo work. Would appreciate any suggestions on best places to buy as...

How far back do you all set up your stance mat from your screen? And how much space do you put between the screen and wall? Thanks in advance :)

Okay guys, I have read through hundreds of posts on your site and am excited to be a part of it. I'm getting ready to do a simulator in my garage for practice through the winter and rainy days for myself and my daughter. The space I have available is roughly 11hx12wx13d. I'm not sure if I...

I am looking for yardage map posters for my simulator room. I am looking for Doral, Spyglass, Pebble Beach and Firestone. I have been searching a lot today but had no luck finding anything. Anyone know where to find some?

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...
