Forum: Home Simulators - General

The GC2 is going well. My question is does anyone have a good list of suggested distances and launch angles for each club? I think this data would be very helpful for us simulator folks out there..how do you know you are on track as you use the simulator to teach yourself? I think distance,...

Is it possible to install a Protee or GGS in a portable enclosure with a screen? I like the looks of them and am wondering if it's possible to set them up in an enclosure that can be moved? I'm also wondering how entertaining and accurate they are with just the sensor mat. Can I start out with just...

I'm a little torn... don't really want to pay for the FR+1 SW when FRX is right around the corner (and then pay nearly $1k for the upgrade). An obvious solution is to wait to get my GC2 + FRX, but I'd rather not wait. Any ideas? Is the iPad app enough to get by until FRX comes out? Would...

Can customplay golf, cpg 2 or world golf 2011 be integrated to play with p3pro like tiger woods?

I have my sim in my garage which is directly under our bedroom. What is the best way to reduce noise ? Thanks

Hello All, I'm struggling with protection for my ceiling. I've put velcro on foam and attached it but after a few days it is coming off. I'm wondering what other options people have? I'm not considering a 10' by 10' net, in the 1' from the ceiling area. Has anyone used netting in such a way?...

Anyone try out the new GC2 iPad app?

At: http://flightscope.com/products/trajectory-optimizer/ How accurate is it? After punching in numbers from Trackman and others the results can be up to 10 yards off. Just makes me wonder....

So I've been trying to read as many of these threads as I can so I can learn about the ins and outs of doing a home simulator room. It can be mentally exhausting - especially when you have no previous knowledge of some of the technology involved. I was hoping I could ask a few questions and get...

I'm plugging my GC2 numbers into the Flightscope Trajectory Optimizer and getting wildly different peak height results. Here are my GC2 numbers: Ball speed: 155 Launch angle: 10.5 Total spin: 2005 Carry: 270.2 Total: 300.7 Peak height: 86.5'

Hi, How far do you put your ball when you use the putting sensor with protee ? Do you change speed parameters for putting ? Thanks

So I've read as much as I could on this forum but am still a bit undecided on which simulator to look into. As of yesterday I was sold on the TruGolf Technique Prestige, many of the posts were older and was hoping some of the bugs were fixed and improved but it doesn't seem that it has. I've read...

Ok, got the GC2 two days ago, but ordered the new FSX software, and i just got news that it won't be released until 5/15. Downloaded a demo version of Creative 3d which lets you toy around with a few things it offers. I want to wait for the FSX software, but im curious, is there software for the...

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...

Hey All, Well the PGA Edmonton Show has come and gone and we had a great time providing the equipment and operating the Closest-to-the-Pin fundraiser. We were able to challenge a lot of people and raise about $1200 for the Ronald McDonald House to help support children in need. The KP was 8"! ...

I have my net, mat and the GC2 will be here today! I tried some golf ball practice shots and my hardwood floor is really loud when the balls hit it..yes..blankets are there How do almostgolf balls work with the GC2? I think the wife would be happy if they worked and gave good ball...

Before Christmas I picked up Golfsense 3D...it was like $60. Now I have the GC2 for ball data I was thinking of using the Golfsense 3D with the GC2. I just tried it. I think it works great. I get swing plane, tempo and backswing along with ball data from GC2. It is nice to tweak the swing with...

I have just purchased the optishot and installed the software. I have a bright green light and the rest are light red on my swing pad but it doesn't read my swings. I went straight to the driving range and tried TESTING FUNCTIONALITY BEFORE USE option (6 iron) in the FAQs section but no luck. I...

Hi All I have been following this forum for around 2 years now. Great input by everyone, it has been a big help. I have an agreement to place 2 simulators in a local sports centre (currently mainly used for 5-a-side football, a kids softplay area that hosts several parties every week, and a...

Hey Guys, A couple quick question; I'm putting together a unit and I see that a touchscreen is desirable. Why? Do you then have two monitors, the regular one and the touchscreen?

Please, someone tried Foresight Performance Software on Windows 8? I bought a new MacPro that does not support Windows7 ...:irked:

I haven't seen much on this...

Hey guys, have you noticed a big drop in distance with the weather being so cold? I have my setup outside in the garage. I guess I didn't pay attention before? But last night it was -10 c and I was hitting some really short shots? I guess it might make sense because it's is using ball data and...

They had 3 open GC2 Range bays to try demo clubs at Golfsmith today. I must admit it is Amazing!!!!! The kind of feedback you get from your swing and data is a major help. It was very easy too to use. It really made trying different clubs out fun, seeing the advantage to each one.

I have my setup and enjoying the system. What are the thoughts on HMT? Is it worth the upgrade cost? I think it is like 6k? How accurate is it? Do I really need it to work on my game and play sim golf rounds?

How many of you guys are hitting down on your turf and how many are picking the ball ? What turf is good for hitting down ?

I'm planning on bunging the screen from Cory, eventually. How much deflection in the screen should one prepare for? IE how far away should the screen be from the wall, 6", 12" 18"? Do folks put padding behind the screen to reduce this distance or further protect the wall? Really don't want...

Here it is. Hope you can make out all the ball data. Ignore the club data. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEmCxoBWkeg&feature=youtu.be

What is the best short throw projector that will work with the net return sim series... Thank you for all your help on the board. I may have the sim setup next weekend (parts are coming!

I'm looking to hire someone to frame and install a screen for me, does anyone have a person I could contact?

Hi folks - new to the forum. I am getting close to pulling the trigger on a GC2. I will need to buy a seperate PC to operate it with. I am looking to buy it online, but not sure what specific requirments i need to meet when i purchase the PC. Thanks!

All the items are here. Projector, net, GC2 and PC tower with software (mouse and keyboard). I don't have a monitor. I figure I was I going to use the projector via HDMI cable. Is there a key that will pass the video output to the projector so I don't have to spend money on a monitor I will not...

I'm looking to buy my first simulator, I've convinced my wife to let me build a 32x48 ft hobby building on our acreage property. The building will have 14 ft ceilings and be an empty shell, insulated w/ heating/cooling units. I plan to build out the simulator area, my question centers around...

I have a universal mount and am attempting to install to a universal mount. The projector has 3 screws but I can only get two to fit...is that OK?

I am undertaking converting an area in my garage into a golf simulator and I'm having trouble deciding on a system given my space and budget constraints. Thought I'd put up a post to get some feedback as the amount of information on this site is overwhelming and there are a lot of knowledgable...

I've tried to search the forum on this issue, I can't imagine I'm the only one. I have to hit 3-4 drives with my R11 before the GC2 picks up a hit. No problems with any other club or my son's black Ping driver. Anyone else run into this? Any solutions?

Asked in other forum but thought I would ask her. What works well with this setup? How much mat do I need? Thanks!

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...
