Forum: Home Simulators - General

I know..look at the flight. How about the numbers..I think .5 or 1 degree right with -150 or so side spin is a draw...please educate me. I am working to remove my over the top swing and think a ball angle coming from the right is good ....meaning I am not coming over the top as much?

Hey All, I was able to get out to the PGA Expo again this year and got some videos for y'all :) PS: No other company was there (ie. SkyTrak, SimTech, Full Swing, HD, etc.), just TrackMan, FlightScope, Foresight Sports and Ernest Sports. Demo Day at Cascata in Boulder City, NV PGA...

When I go to the range, I hit 1 ball to different targets. Sometime I hit 2-3 until I hit a good one, then go to another target. I never pump 30 shots at the same target, lots and lots of research shows that does no good. So when I use my GC2, why am I limited to either dropping a ball on the...

Is it me or is there a new firmware update for the GC2? I think there is and has anyone tried it? Remember we had issues with the last update. What are the improvements?

I just noticed on the Foresight Sports web-site that they have information regarding their new software. Looks interesting....

Hi everybody, newby to the forum and building a simulator studio on my roof terrace in Egypt. I have had to overcome many problems in designing this and trying to make it happen, but I am still stuck as to at projector and it's positioning. Can anybody help and does anyone know if you can...

Quick and better question..working with an instructor..getting rid of the coming over the top on my downswing. I am using my GC2 and think is I see a shot starting to the right will be a good indication that my shot is coming from the inside/out swing? I don't want to see ball flight...

I'm a lurker that has been spending way too much (according to the girlfriend) time researching golf sims. So far it seems the 2 most popular in these forums are the ProTee and GC2. However I've stumbled across and found very little information about the Personal Pro, Simtech, Sport Trak, and GSA...

Hi, All. Looking to build some Canadian course content on the new software and love to get some feedback from all you guys on what you'd like to see. Please post your suggestions for some great Canadian courses to consider. We welcome all suggestions

Hi, New to the forum (posting) but been reading for a bit. I know some will be upset that I haven't searched enough for this info, but I have been looking and finding various responses, so I hope to get some help, if anyone is willing. I talked my wife into letting us put a simulator in the...

I thought I'd start a new thread to discuss the "Best" Protee course, realizing of course that "Best" can be defined in any number of ways.

Hello everyone. I am thinking about (read wishing) getting P3ProSwing. I first thought about getting OptiShot, mainly because of the price. However, P3ProSwing seems to give a little better reading on the club head movement. One thing I am not quite certain about P3ProSwing, however, is...

I am looking at picking up an old model Doppler radar, and was curious if anyone knew what the power draw (in watts) of those machines is. I'm hoping it's low enough that I'd be able to lug it to the range along with a UPS. Thanks

New to the forum but love all of the ideas and discussion. I'd love to do my own DIY sim once I get out of my small apartment. One problem though: I don't know how I'm gonna convince my wife that it would be a good idea to put in our house. How did you guys get your wives to let you put in a sim?

Hello everyone, very nice forum. My question is I would like to buy an used Accusport Vector Launch Pro on the internet and use it on an E6 software. I know that soon will be released the E6 II and that the Real-Tek is almost ready with new vector. Any of you has any suggestions about how the...

Hi everyone and thank you from Italy to let me be part of your big and wonderful community and explain so many interesting things about golf simulators

Im sitting here a few weeks before it arrives (feels like waiting on my Red Rider BB Gun for Christmas) and have a couple of questions... 1. How do you aim square to an impact screen target? Im sure it will make sense when I get it, but I am bit perplexed. 2. Projectors - I don't want to...

So i just hooked up my simulator and hit a couple of balls into the net. After every hit the ball leaves a dent the size of a my forearm. is this normal or do i need to pull the screen tighter? It's pretty tight already and just wanted a sanity check. Thanks guys!

Looking at what I'd be spending on a home sim config, here's the two options I'm considering... option 1 - GC2 + the net return sim series + projector = $14k option 2 - p3pro + the net return sim series + projector = $4k What a massive difference. I don't have any plans to use the GC2...

Trying to get my new GC2 up and running. Whilte trying to connect my computer (using a bluetooth dongle) to the GC2... the computer finds the GC2 and then asks "is this passcode correct?" It's a six digit number. I have no idea if it's correct. I click yes and get an error saying it's an...

Looking for some help on alignment for my GC2, it appears that the alignment is way to the right of the screen when i set my GC2 up, is this normal? Maybe it just takes some time to get used to it?

Hello- Would love to start hitting indoors a bit more and acquire a GC2 for that purpose... but the challenge is a net. I have a small enough home where i can't dedicate a room to it, so a net that i can take up and down without a ton of hassle is key. Any recommendations? Thanks!

I haven't seen any in depth reviews of Creative Golf demo without digging through the threads so here's my version. You can download the Creative golf demo from the following link (obtained from par2pro.com website) https://www.hightail.com/download/UW16Q1ZxU1AzMWx4Tk1UQw There's...

My golf room if just about finally ready (a good month or so later than anticipated). Have a GC2 as the engine. Here's my newbie question. The room is 15 feet wide and the projector will be mounted exactly in the middle of the room. But... because of the 15 foot width, I don't think the hitting...

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

Curious to hear if any GC2 users did any ball tests and what golf balls they use to "practice" with. I use ProV1 to play. In my old practice room before GC2 I have buckets of random balls since I was more videoing my swing and didn't see spin or trajectory. Now with the GC2 I find myself...

OK...I am an idiot and have been hit in the face with a golf ball off a screen..not too fun I have been using almost golf balls, brush t and real golf balls. With my 60 degree wedge I get launch angle of 45 or so with the brush t (plastic but hard) and real golf balls. The almost golf...

I currently have a simulator set-up using Optishot, but am becoming disenchanted. I'd like to think about using P3P instead with a new Mac laptop. How does P3P work with a Mac in PC simulation mode? Problems with the graphics card or memory capacity?

I would like to reduce the sound coming out of my garage as my kids will be sleeping there soon. It's only the woods that make too much noise. Is it worth it to buy some Almostgolf ball ? How much sound reduction are they compared to real balls ? Cheers !

Well still looking and trying to find a system to put in my ready to go room but nothing new out there. Have been talking with simtech quit a bit but still nothing positive about its out date. Anything else coming out that someone knows about?

As I was looking at golf balls to work with my GC2 inside..I came across a very interesting one... This is called Total Control Golf Ball and I went to the website and it is 1.5 times heavier than a normal golf ball. I think it builds power and speed..anyone try it out? ...

I wanted to help the forum as the forum has been a great help to me. Be careful with your short throw projectors. I hit it on the follow through with my PW and hit the edge. For a bit it would go on and off and was a pain. Yesterday I fixed it with a bungee cord to keep pressure on it. I...

Been looking at all the mixed reviews on both and trying to decide what would best suite my needs. I want something that I can Fit clubs off And also something that won't break and isn't junk. Which mat is sturdy and tough enough Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you Robert

Garage dimension 18 D, 10 W, 14 ( I realize 10 W is too narrow- could go to 14 ft) Trackman v Trugolf v ProTee v Foresight Cheaper to purchase individual components v package? However I am not very handy. reason for sim: play golf in winter (a lot of snow), swing analysis.

I bought the SC100 for less than $200. It directly reads Club Head and Ball Speed. It displays: Club Head Speed, Ball Speed, Smash Factor and Carry Distance. Hitting real balls outside shows great results distance-wise. SO I got to test it directly against the GC2 today at Golf Smith. ...

I am buying a new house and now will have a room for a simulator. The room is 14' deep but only 11 feet wide with 10 foot ceilings. I can only assume that I will never have lefties play. Is this enough room?

Anyone ever used one? I can't find much on it and found one for sell for 6K.

After hitting a couple of shot on the Creative demo and using a bluetooth link to capture the ball data on the ipad app, I have found that i generally get an extra 10 yards of carry on the Creative software demo as compared to the app. (not due to wind/elevation changes, at least not that i am...

I went into golf town and was surprised at swing speed. They have the gc2 without hmt. Just wondering how accurate this number is. I'm thinking of buying the gc2 so I wanted to try it out first. Was really fun hitting balls with this unit.

Building a new simulator and was wondering if there is a particular distance that i should set up the stance mat from the impact screen? I think i want it as far back as possible but you guys are the experts so I just wanted to get your thoughts.

New to the forum and I'm in the process of setting up my new simulator. I prefer not to have the black out side walls because I like the clean look of just the screen. I'm a pretty good golfer and I'm not worried about shanking one but i am worried about my friends. That said, how close to the...

I'm wonder if there might be some suggestions to deal with a problem I'm having. I purchased a screen from Cory and purchased some foam to go around the screen to use as trim. I cut it into 9.5” widths and adhered two way Velcro to the back of the foam, the hook part. I took the female part...

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.

So many choices...I am looking at the Champions but the Tours and Fantasy package looks good to...opinions?

I haven't seen any reviews about the Foresight Performance Fitting App yet so i thought i'll give my own opinion. Condensed version: If you don't have a sim software, and already have an ipad. Get it for $50. Longer version: Just got my GC2 and decided to wait for the new FSX. (See on...
