Forum: Home Simulators - Hardware

I was wondering if there are any competitors to the SkyTrak (ball stats and price) emerging in 2016 or beyond?

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...

Hi, I have a couple of golf nets with grommets. I want to hang it in my barn and stretch it in between the wooden beams. The beams are about 16 feet apart. I also already have a few mats I am looking for suggestions on weather to use some sort of conduit, or a steel cable to feed through...

subject should have been Projector question, oops I assume people are using Short Throw projectors because with someone standing in the middle of the room swinging a club it has the potential to block out the projection. My room is 152 inches by 209 inches, and it's 118 inches high (12'x17'...

I'm trying to figure out how to do my enclosure/hitting area for my garage. Because we use the garage a LOT (it's a 1 car garage) I don't really want to build a 10x10x5 steel cage if I can help it. I would like to just hang a net from the ceiling on rollers so I can quickly move them out of the...

Has anybody got any hands on experience with one of these? Just came across this while reading an article on "hot products" at the 2012 PGA Show. http://www.ernestsports.com/es12/

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...

Now that my building is under construction, I'm getting closer to making the decision for my sim. I've been most impressed by the Pro-Tee and TruGolf systems but I'm wondering how well the hitting surface holds up and how one replaces it (and how much it costs) when it gets worn down? Can...

I just noticed this mentioned in an old thread. Has anyone here used one of these? It looks interesting, but other than the product description and a couple of commercial reviews in trade magazines, I haven't found any "real world" evaluations on it. ...

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 got a replacement computer and it has 64 bit windows 7 but i can't install the USB to Serial file on this because of the lack of digital signature. Can anyone help? I tried turning off the signature in the command prompt, but now it says the file is for vista only?

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

Hello all, I'm obviously new to this forum and have browsed long enough. I've noticed alot of users comment on how good the GC2 is and that it would make a very nice sim (with the additional software/screen/projector/hitting mat ....etc). I reckon all this would cost about 10k..ish. If...

Hi, anyone know what make/model of cameras are used in the GSA golf systems? Thanks

Hi, I'm looking at getting a launch monitor but I also need club data. Anyone have comments on club data accuracy using a mat (Protee, GSA PX2) vs a camera system (Foresight HMT, GSA)? I want a camera based ball track system for flight accuracy, but need good club data since my golf game needs...

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...

Anybody ever tried using the mats from South West Greens? http://www.southwestgreens.com/golf-greens/tee-lines How do they compare to Real feel golf mats? http://www.realfeelgolfmats.com I'm deciding between the 2. Any other suggestions welcome.

Anybody got any experience using movie screen tarps as impact screen? So far 2 that i found are http://www.mytarp.com/outdoor-movie-screen.aspx http://www.tarpsupply.com/movie-screens.html They both are 1) 16oz (which i guess is pretty thick for tarps?)

Looking for ideas on a USB/Firewire highspeed camera for V1 Home to run along side my simulator. I already have an HD camcorder but it'll only do 30fps. Thanks
