I was able to buy a V Swing Video Recorder for $20 off kijiji recently. http://www.practicerange.com/Golf-Training-Aids/V-Swing-Video-Swing-Recorder.aspx It allows for easy swing recording. The gooseneck is nice to easily adjust the view. The attachment clamp allow easy attachment to bag etc....

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...

I have confirmation that this combo will work, but does anyone have any first hand experience with it?

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 ...

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...

Well I have taken the task on of building a simulator room and wow. So many questions. 1. Are the high impact screens on ebay or internet as good a quality as the high priced ones they sell with the system? 2. Are there any resonabley priced systems that can actually read club path and...

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 don't know what to do about screens. After a fraying issue with the PR20 from hitting hundreds of wedges into the same spot on the screen, I switched to the HQ Raw from Par 2 Pro. Now I've managed to put a hole through that screen with a 3 wood. :( (165mph ball speed) Spoke with Corey and...

I am thinking of some different heating options for my garage set up and would like to know. Can I use an infrared heater or will it affect the accuracy of the optishot?

Hey All, I'm at the PGA Alberta show and came across this: http://www.boditrak.com/products/golf.php I have a few clients ask for something like this, but would love to hear your thoughts on if it would be valuable for you... Feel free to post constructive opinions and feedback if you...

I'm a casual golfer who is looking to build a sim to get better and to play indoors during the winter. I already have a computer, net (net return) and mat. Has anyone used the P3Pro and Accusport Vector together? Is the improved accuracy worth the additional price of the Vector Pro? It...

If I hit a shot 100 yards , 200 yards, 300 yards at 2° off-line how many feet is it off-line. Really I'm just looking for the mathematical formula or a calculator thanks Dave

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 use Cory's hq screen and I have been having issues with golf ball rebounds. I saw a post with someone suggesting memory foam behind the screen. I was wondering if anyone has tried it and if so which thickness did you use? would 2 inches be enough?

Hey guys, would appreciate some input regarding the various advantages and disadvantages of the respective systems. Thanks.

I am currently in the final stages of deciding upon what simulator works best for my particular situation, and I'm looking at the advantages and disadvantages of various systems. I want to stay away from and IR system and I will be doing my own flooring, screen, projector, hitting mat, and wall...

Is anyone out there currently using an About Golf system, the simulator looks very accurate providing both ball and club data... but the courses seem VERY expensive.. Just wonder if there are any users out there, and what they see as the advantages and disadvantage of the system.

Finally I've decided to pull the trigger on a ProTee system, in the end the righty lefty issue for general play weighed heavily into the decision, plus I figure I can always add a launch monitor at a later date, when and if they ever become more affordable. Any hoo... does anyone have any...

I know there are a number of threads on here regarding projectors, but I was wondering if I could get some input regarding an HD projector issue. I'm looking for a projector which can pull double duty for a true HD home theatre as well as a golf simulator. Golf simulator wise I'm looking for a...

Hey guys , just came back from a demo day at golf town in Montreal. One of the Senior club fitters told me that the Gc2 was "by far" more accurate than the aboutgolf sim (they had both) . I was not not impressed by either as far a graphics are concerned. The question is why does aboutgolf...

The Unex Simulator apparently has Augusta National- http://unexgolfsimulator.com/UNEX_Courses.asp Including 3-Projectors Panoramic Support- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg5dCK6bnDU Why would someone drop that much money on a studio setup and only buy a Unex as the hardware?? lol Btw the...

Cory, Thanks for posting the Skypro PGA 2013 Show video, it was really interesting and they seem to have figured out some clever ways of dealing with issues such as sensor placement. I was wondering if they measure simple club data like club path and face angle at impact? It's not obvious to...

My current sim PC specs: AMD Phenom X4 3.0 ghz 3.25 GB of usable RAM Win7 32 bit. ASRock K10N78D ATX motherboard with internal serial header(good for Protee) 64GB SSD C: drive 250GB Secondary SATA II 7200rpm HD. 2 PCI USB cards(for Protee) Nvidia GTX460 1GB

May be wrong place since I know you are focused on sims. But most of you have a sim room setup or studio. Do you also have a good indoor video / high speed camera for video? I have a not so good 30fps with shutter speed of only 1/200 inside. Learning shutter speed then frame rate is...

Just saw this- http://voicecaddie.com/2013/product_sc100_01.php Says: The Swing Caddie SC100: • Standalone device (no phone app needed) • Instant feedback via LCD display • Measures: • Carry Distance • Swing Speed • Ball Speed

What are the thoughts of pros and cons of having a setup with projector/screen or a 50" TV with computer and hit into a net? Figure cost but you can use TV for other things?

We'll off to pick up some screen material from Cory. Question to those who have built one. I was going to run a 3 inch seam at the top then slide a one inch ridged pole threw and mount on each side wall so the screen can hang straight down and very even throughout.Then put a couple side straps with...

I really like this setup. Are there other options that give easy setup and doesn't take up space like this net? I do like the 8X8 footprint. I also like the projector setup on top. For 2K a bit steep. Any other options out there?

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 looking for a small portable simulator that may be the net return simulator series. The dimensions are 8 X 8 X 4. What size hitting matt should I get? Do the balls shoot off of the screen or just drop down? I know this has been asked before...what hitting matt do you recommend for the...

What is the best way to clean ball marks from impact screen?

Well I got it all up and going tonight. 16'x9' screen Optima HD25LV 2500 Lumen, GC2, Country Club Elite Mat. I have the Creative 3D software. It seems, to me, that my GC2 doesn't give an accurate yardage. The software, shows an additional 25 yards on shots, while the GC2 audio says it's less....

I was told to use a hair dryer on medium setting to remove the straight lines on the projection screen. What is the best way to make the screen nice and flat so the image doesn't roll on bumps and distorts the image. I was thinking of cord or something with a clip.. Thoughts?

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

Hey guys! First post on the forum. We are in the process of getting loan approval for a commercial simulator facility. We are struggling with which projector to use. Each sim bay will be approximately 13' wide by 10' tall for screen and 20' deep. We are going with Foresight Kiosk for the FSX...
