Forum: Home Simulators - Hardware

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...

I am planning on upgrading my GC2 sim floor, I am currently using an old fiberbuilt mat that I had, but I'd rather do the full room with sinthetic grass/carpet, and just integrate into the floor the small 1x2 feet matt, I went with the dura pro which takes a real tee. My question is, do I go...

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...

New poster so here is some info. I am building a new fitting area in my off course shop. Have decided on Flightscope X2. They sent me a demo to play around with was very impressed. Huge upgrade over my old Vector Pro. Anyway am having an enclosure built by West Coast Netting. Dimensions are...

Hi Folks, I've been doing a ton a research trying to determine how I would like to setup my basement and I am interested in some feedback on the following questions: Thinking that LM will be GC2... - How far are you hitting from screen (and what is screen size)? - I have not found much...

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...

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'm in the planning stages of my sim. I've looking at ProTee and GC2 and possibly the new mystery system. I've also spoken to Visual Sports. Does anyone have knowledge of this system? Does it measure ball spin or calculate it like ProTee? It looks a lot like protee. Is it accurate? The cool...

I found a guy that has an older version of trugolf mat (version 2.9) as well as acoustic sensors and e6lite software. My space has a ceiling height of 9'. Can the acoustic sensors be setup with custom room dimensions? Do the sensors need a specific impact screen? Is this worthwhile?

Any word on the mythical "low cost launch monitor" which is suppose to be coming??

I am currently looking for a projector but having trouble getting the size of screen I want with the throw distance I have to work with. I am just wondering has anyone done a rear projection setup with a short throw projector? I think the golf channel uses a set up like that. What kind of...

Bubba, I noticed after looking through some of your pics, you have the same interlocking mats as me. I had to stack them three high to make them level with the P3Pro. Not sure if yours are as thick or thin as mine. When I swing, they slide all over the place. Do you (or anyone else) have any...

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

Has anyone modified the p3proswing stance mat to put in a cutout to use it as hitting mat? I would appreciate any details measurements ,tools, etc. for cutting if you have done this modification or know how to do it. thanks Dave

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

QUESTION BELOW ON BALL TESTING... BACKGROUND Well its approaching the middle of my golf season and I thought the use of the LM would go down because I have a range at the club. Turns out I have been using the GC2 for quantifiying shaft and club comparing for both my daugther and myself. ...

Hey everyone...been reading and planning for a month or two and it's about time to join the sim world. Getting ideas and had a question please. Has anyone set up a sim on a platform or use a 'wedge' with the projector on the ground? I know some of the models from TruGolf(?) have that but was...

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 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...

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

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...

I looked at my Vector Pro microphone; it looks like it sits around 1” from the case opening. Can someone take a look at his/her Vector Pro and confirm that the microphone is really that far back? When I look into the opening for the microphone, I can see the circuit board with the microphone...

Hello, I'm about a year away from building out my simulator space. In the meantime I need a reasonably priced net to hang from my basement ceiling. Real simple and cost effective, but it needs to last me at least a year. has anyone used either of the following, and do you recommend? ...

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!

Hi everybody. I'm hoping there's an owner of the original Accusport Vector (model SVS 150) who can help me out. I just bought one and unfortunately it didn't come with an AC adapter, so I need to buy a replacement. The problem I have is that the polarity info for the adapter is not printed on the...

I recently purchased the SkyTrak and am planning on building an enclosure with impact screen and projector. Can anyone help me out on what to look for in a projector? I have a 12 foot wide by 10 foot high screen and plenty of ceiling space. Also, I am thinking of buying the Microbay enclosure...

Interested in getting opinions from HMT owners. I have the GC2 with FR1 software. Its been very helpful for training indoors. I do not use it in the simulator / game mode. I want club head data such as AoA, real smash factor, path, face, where I hit on the face, dynamic loft. Speaking...
