Forum: Home Simulators - Hardware

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...

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...

I have an Accusport Vector Pro that I'm having trouble installing software drivers on a Windows 7 64 bit laptop. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. PM Club Rx

I just want an entry level type of projector that will do a reasonable job. Will both these fit that bill and if you had to pick one, which one (using Optishot)?! Thanks in advance to the projector techies out there! Optoma: http://www.projectorcentral.com/Optoma-PRO150S.htm Viewsonic:...

I have an area in my new garage that I am dedicating for a simulator. I have about 15 feet of depth to play with, but, my question is, has anyone built a partially disappearing floor? One that can be slid into, like a drawer, or folded over when I am not golfing so that I can reclaim about half...

I've been waffling between hitting mats (need a 3'x5' to fit the space the way I want) and want either a mat system that can do both fairway and rough turf feel (or 2 separate mats, if it comes to that). The three I've been considering the most are the Fiberbuilt, Country Club Elite and...

I have been away for a bit. What is the current price for a HMT to connect to the GC2. I am hoping they are a bit cheaper so I can make the plunge! Thanks!

Anyone know if this company is still in business? Can't find them on the net. Got a chance at a deal on a 2010 System 4 and wondering if they are still around for any product support down the road.

Several of you are also using the golf room as a home theater. looking to see what type of equipment on the AV side you are using. i got the components for the sim and enclosure and ready to install. Just need advice on how to handle the A/V side. Setting up a 7.1 surround sound similar to...

Hey guys. So i'm going to attempt a small live outdoor putting green...I know its difficult but I want to attempt anyway. I have the seed and know the base, but what i'm looking for is the sand mixture and where to get it. For those who don't know bent grass grows on a 90-10 sand peat mixture. Does...

How many GC2s are there out there in the world? How many were sold last year? Here is an interesting article http://www.foresightsports.com/sites/default/files/438167-JAN%202015_selected-pages.pdf Looks like there are 7000 made to date and 3000 sold last year

I have some yellow marks from Brush T golf balls, some marks from an alignment rod my son hit against the screen and some odd marks..how do you clean a screen? Can you use bleach? Anyone try to clean their projection screens? Thanks!

Any suggestions on how to remove wrinkles. I have a few that are bugging me and are not in the hitting area. Remember reading something a while ago but can find that post. Thanks

Hi everyone, I am currently awaiting my SkyTrak and thinking about setting up an impact screen vs a net at some point in the future. Wondering if you had any recommendations on retractable screens that can work around garage door openers etc. Thanks in advance. Gerry

Hello I am looking for info on the best way to hang an impact screen from my ceiling. I have read alot of posts on here but couldn't find my exact answer. Anyone with any info would be great. I am just going to be hitting the foam or almost golf balls into it. Thanks

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 exploring the idea of mounting a impact screen onto my Pro Series Golf net frame. The demension of the frame is 7'.6" x 8'. Then I look to mount a short throw projector to the ceiling on my garage. Wondered if anyone has done this before and or if anyone has any suggestions or concerns about...

Hello all, I have been lurking around for the last few weeks trying to figure out how to setup my own simulator. After reading many helpful post, I am almost ready to start putting it all together. I already have an optishot, BenQ MX810st, and 8' of screen material from Cory. I am setting this...

Hey guys , my impact net from wesrcoast netting has just torn about 10inches from a grommet hole ! Its my fault as I didnt bungee that location and just ty wrapped it so there was no play :confused Anyway, its made out of thick 100% polyester. Does anyone know the best way to repair, stitch, ...

I have a height limit of 90 inches for my screen due to garage door tracks and would like to know how wide I need to make the screen. I want to have the image cover the complete screen. My second question is can you move the projector back. If it needs to be at 6ft from the screen can I move it...

Hi, I'm wondering what everyone here thinks about the importance of club data for working on your swing with a launch monitor/simulator? Assuming you have own a monitor with good accuracy for ball data (either a good doppler system or a good camera-based one) then how much marginal benefit do...

Hi all, first post here am based in the uk so we don't require the Simulators quite so much (although really like the idea) as we can play pretty much 365 days a year but I'm still very much a lover of stats and all things stats. so after a couple of glasses of vino and much reading of these...

I will have room in my new garage to install a sim. However, the availabe height is only 248cm, which is a bit too low. Now I'm thinking of digging a hole for the hitting area. Of course the hole should be as small as possible and as large as necessary. Layout like this ...

Hi all, I don't know whether you watch any of Mark Crossfield's YouTubes? I quite enjoy them. Anyway I was watching his comparison of the Nike VR Pro LE and the Covert Tour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j66zy4VB4so I know that he uses both Trackman and Flightscope and was interested to...

Hi, was wondering if anyone is using an indoor net with the simulator? If so, any recommendations to which model is good? Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have any experience with these indoor putting systems? I'm hoping to have the area between the stance mat and impact screen setup for putting practice, or if that's not realistic, at least have a high quality putting surface for winter practice. My main goal having a realistic...

It seems most golf cages that I see online, they just sell the corner fittings (if frame only), and if it's a kit, they will include the netting. From what I have seen, there seems to be 2 different types of materials: PVC and some steel or cast that uses EMT pipes (no idea what EMT stands...

Anybody know the cost of the system.

Looking for ideas of what you guys are using to house your laptop or desktop monitor so its easily accessible during play on your simulators. Just got my projector ordered and getting the rest set up. Hope to begin playing later this week!

Foresight has just posted the software for the GC2 need to think about the computer now. I have an Asus EP121 but Intel graphics may not be enough to run software, and it would be good just to walk in and push the on buuton. I am thinking of buying a laptop such as ...

I thought I would start a discussion on the various launch monitors. There is some good info on the gc2 which is basically a launch monitor that also can be utilized as a simulator for more entertainment. Launch monitors have the benefit of club and ball tracking including spin data that probably...
