Hi So I have some room size limitations that are impacting my selection of projectors. Essentially I have screen size of 108 inches wide by 81 high (for a 4.3 ratio) Given room size it appears that I use a short throw projector but here is the kicker I want to be hitting from between 7 to...

Does anyone have experience using 3 monitors with one computer using NIVIDIA cards. Think I am going to use a GTX 1080 card for FSX software from foresight. I have 3 monitors. Not sure if the cards power more than one monitor or I need a card for each. I have the computer monitor which...

Hello, What webcams are people using for the video capture? Specifically, I'm looking to do a 2 cam setup. No Launch Monitor package (yet), but if/when I do I guess I would be using 3 cams. Is that possible? I know Bubba recommended the ps3 eye cam. Is that hard to get working on the PC...

I've done a lot of reading here as I plan my sim set up. I've come to choosing either of the following: ProTee Sim: Pros: -easy for lefties and righties -cost effective -good club feed back -easy to use Cons: -no accurate spin rates

Anyone have a recommendation for a camera that can be connected to my PC so I can film my golf swing. I have cameras that I use for family movies, but I need something that is more wide angle because when filming front on swings I only have a limited amount of space to back up the camera. I have V1...

I have recently setup a basement range with a CCE mat along with the vector pro. I am currently hitting into a net and displaying the path through a 32 LCD TV. I only have 7.5 foot ceiling space and won't be able to swing my driver or woods hence I have no intentions of setting up a full blown sim....

I am in the process of lobbying p3pro to develop a 2nd webcam to capture the ball direction and speed. I know they have an integration with Zelocity and are trying to develop and integration with the vector launch but the expense of these options will keep many users away. I really think the webcam...

Pleas help!!! I just set up the Optishot and realize I need a projector. I need to keep the price of the projector under $425. I'm Canadian from Montreal but now live in Texas. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My GC2-T unit is acting crazy. For putts, chips, drives, FW and other lower launching shots it is right on track. The higher the launch angle the wackier the lines get. For instance a wedge that I obviously hit straight shows being hit 20 yards left. Any ideas what the heck is going on? Could...

Hello OGers, I am thinking about installing a synthetic putting green. Does anyone out there have one? There are so many questions I have no idea where to start.:confused First off, what kind of turf to get? where to get the turf? Secondly, what size to build. (I could get carried...

I'm getting together with a golf pro/friend to purchase a simulator. We were considering Trugolf, GC2, and Protee systems. It looks like we are going with the GC2 (unless somebody tells us we are crazy). Our room is a little over 19 X 19. Ceilings are 9 ft on the sides of the room and very tall...

I'm looking for thoughts/feedback on a cheap backyard enclosure for a golf simulator setup. Tarps, portable garages, enclosures, ???. Any ideas?

A while back I learned that P3ProSwing was working on an Online Coaching program that was schedule to launch this summer. I spoke to their marketing director not to long ago and he said they severed ties with the programmer that was working on it. Now I call back only to find he is gone and the...

Hey guys wondering if anyone has any experience with a setup like this. I have my desktop computer with dual monitor. Its an EVGA GTX 960 with 4 outputs (3x DV and 1 HDMI). I have both my monitors connected via the DV and the projector using the HDMI. Im having issues displaying to the...

Hello, After I posted here to get some infos about TruTrak System and did not really get what I was looking for, I want to share with you my experiences on buying and operating a Trugolf Simulator, I could not really find a good post for that in the net, so I thought for some this is might...

I was checking to see what impact screen is now the favorite? I started with vinyl and am now ready to upgrade.....I am using vga benq graphics so perhaps I don't need to go to crazy?? Also interested in 'wrappin' the sides with netting to avoid rebound chasing! About a year ago, Cory was...

I am currently using limited flight balls but am now considering using real golf balls. My current screen will withstand real balls but I am wondering how the grommets will hold up? I use bungie cords in the grommets to connect the screen to the wall. Does anyone have a lot of experience with this...

I am thinking about getting -- Refurbished FlightScope Prime Kit Included: FlightScope Prime sensor upgraded with latest available microwave radar panel + Hard carry case with custom cut out foam + Portable Power Outlet + Lightweight Laptop stand with FlightScope branded cover/hood

So for under $50 you can have two camera video analysis at 180 fps, though only at 320 x 240. You can also get 75 fps at 640 x 480. It's not great resolution, but for the price it's worth considering. I realize it's not a new setup, but it's working at higher fps than I've seen in other posts so...

Does anybody have experience with the older AccuSport Vector (SVS150) Was the accuracy decent ? Does it worth buying a used one ? Thanks

Would a 65 watt Fluorescent indoor spotlight work better than a regular CFL bulb?

Are there any low cost fun systems you would recommend? Looking for something to take to the OAC indoor range over winter to read out swing speed etc Willing to pay 500$ or so

Hi there guys ... Need some help here... I have a Accusport Vector Pro launch monitor I like messing with to get some numbers and check out my clubs but would also like to look for something to do some simulation / closest to pin etc. I was thinking the Optishot 2 just as something to play...

My GC2 is all over the place reading wise and I was hoping someone here wouldn't mind emailing me the calibration tool. Email is jrbratten@yahoo.com

We have all wrote in on some different golf balls but some shops are only available in different countries and areas. Some have posted about I believe their called Golf Town or something like that Foam Practice balls and they are the best. Where can you find them to get them? Is it only in a...

Does it exist? I'm running fs1 software on a GC2-T model and although I have it selected in the options screen, nothing is happening. Foresight won't answer my emails on the subject.

Hi everyone. Just picked up a used X2 that will be here in a few days. I'm going to be putting something dedicated together (probably a new room off the basement) in the spring but wanted to get something setup to test it out and hit some balls over the winter. I'm in the process of finishing...

I have the Net Return (hopefully will get converted to the simulator version soon). I paired it with Country Club Elite golf mats sold by J McGrath and the experience is unbelievable. My mat dimension is 10 X 6 and only 1" high because I didn't want the 5/8 thick foam under layer due to having...

Hi Guys, I have a “new” old Vector Pro (with manual lens) in a very well light controlled indoor environment. The problem that I have with the unit is with its microphone. The software vector pro 2.11 strongly recommend using the default sensitivity (in advanced mode) setting. For me that...
