Bogolf - New Camera based simulator?

alsilver · 10-17-2011 08:31 PM

Has anyone used or seen a review on Bogolf?

**bubba22** · 10-17-2011 08:40 PM

We are awaiting one by Cory at Par2pro.

**Par2Pro** · 10-18-2011 01:40 AM

Yup, I have it installed and now just working with the owner to tweak it so that I can get the most accuracy out of it. I will be posting a review as soon as it is up running and I get a few different golfers testing it.

**Par2Pro** · 10-18-2011 01:41 AM

LOL bubba, just saw your latest status - 'Sleeps here' - I love it, so true

**TheGolfer** · 10-18-2011 07:58 AM

dmartyna - you can review the thread below comparing gsa px5, protee, and trugolf...

anyone familiar with www.GolfZon.eu?

**ZMax** · 10-18-2011 08:22 AM

Hey Cory,

I'm very curious to know how spin is measured. i.e how many frames of the ball is captured, whether marked balls are needed, etc....

**bubba22** · 10-18-2011 09:55 AM

I am also interested in the spin aspect of Bogolf. Looking forward to your review Cory.

**TheGolfer** · 10-20-2011 08:14 AM

Hi Par2Pro - looking forward to your review on BoGolf. When are you anticipating to have your first take at it? Thank you.

**Par2Pro** · 10-20-2011 10:41 AM

As soon as I can work out the lighting issue and then have a chance to test it myself along with some other testers. Possibly a week or longer as I want to be sure that it is working in top form before we make any judgements.

**TheGolfer** · 10-20-2011 11:23 AM

Par2Pro, great - thank you.

**ZMax** · 10-24-2011 10:55 AM

Any update Cory? People are anxiously waiting for your review...

**Par2Pro** · 10-24-2011 11:53 AM

Hey Guys,

We ran into a lighting issue - got the lumens right, but the positioning is still not up to par. I am working with BoGolf, but my prorities are my customers first, then testing so it is hard to get to because it is the busiest time of year

Again, I am trying to get this done ASAP, but I will be making sure I set this up properly before confirming anything.

Cheers,
Cory

**bubba22** · 10-24-2011 12:02 PM

Wow takes long to setup. Shows the importance of setup for any sim.

**ZMax** · 10-24-2011 12:03 PM

Thanks Cory.

Quick question. Where are the 3 cameras mounted/locate?

**Par2Pro** · 10-24-2011 12:16 PM

The setup has taken longer than normal, but I am a bit of a perfectionist and I have been setting up a whole new demo center, so the time spent has not been all with BoGolf. (Just to be fair

).

The 3 cameras are mounted overhead and forward a little.

**ZMax** · 10-24-2011 12:38 PM

2 cameras in stereo and one in the middle like the picture above? Interesting...

**bubba22** · 10-24-2011 12:44 PM

I would love to know the workings of these cameras? Frame rates? What each capture? Any idea Cory?

**Par2Pro** · 11-02-2011 05:08 PM

Hey Guys,

Just a quick update....

I just installed a new mount, recalibrated the lights and cameras, setup and installed a new computer and it looks like we are closer, but still not getting the accuracy that I would expect for that kind of money.

We are now working with BoGolf to figure out what we need to do next. There is definitely some frustrations with the time differences for support (not to mention that they have been in the middle of a move and server upgrade).

I know you are all anxious, but I don't think we have it perfected yet. Once we do, I am pretty sure that we will be able to provide the setup details to our customers a little easier than what we have received from the manufacturer.

Happy Golfing Everyone!
Cory

**ZMax** · 11-02-2011 05:13 PM

Thanks for the update Cory. Keep up the good work.

Curious about the new computer. More horsepower needed for the Bogolf system?

Care to elaborate on the problem? Got some great minds in this forum. Perhaps we can help.

**bubba22** · 11-02-2011 07:14 PM

Wow Cory. If its taking "YOU" that long what about the rest of us. Is that a bad sign or are you just busy with many things on the go?

**Par2Pro** · 11-02-2011 07:31 PM

Zmax - computer was XP 32 bit, changed to faster processor, better video card and Win7 64 bit.

Bubba - I have just been swamped. It is my busiest time of year, so my clients come first, then testing.

It is also my year end and my wife is due with our first on December 19th, so I have been trying to get the house renos done and the baby room setup (we are doing a hockey arena for a nursery!!!) - so my nights and weekends have been booked up. Oh yeah, can't forget about the backrubs and story telling to our boy in her belly

PS: no real tech specs from the manufacturer yet. I go by hands on first and then look at the specs to back it up!

Cheers,
Cory

**bubba22** · 11-02-2011 07:36 PM

Awewsome Cory. Congrats on the baby. Take your time we all understand.

**Par2Pro** · 11-02-2011 07:45 PM

Thanks Bubba

**ZMax** · 11-02-2011 07:52 PM

I can't help but be a little skeptical here. The simulator was not available or ready when you went to visit them. And now, accuracy issues? I hope you get the issues worked out as it would mean another option for us all, but ....

And yes! Congrats on the baby. A boy?

**Par2Pro** · 11-02-2011 07:59 PM

Hey ZMax,

I agree - red flags have gone up a few times, but I remain optimistic. I could have easily said forget it, but I do believe that the owner believes that we can get this very accurate.

Thanks. Yup, Maxwell Sebastian Gauvreau - or so we have agreed on so far. MAX POWER!

Cheers,
Cory

**ZMax** · 11-02-2011 08:14 PM

Hey, that is a great name...

As for Bogolf, are you at liberty to discuss with us what the accuracy issues are? Or share any Bogolf documentation?

I take it that you can back out of the deal and get your money back, if you have any invested?

**bubba22** · 11-02-2011 08:21 PM

How much can you tell us Cory?

**Tommy2Ball** · 11-02-2011 09:55 PM

Cory, congrats on the baby! Let's change the order: family first; customers second; product reviews third (unless I PM you).

**Par2Pro** · 11-03-2011 01:57 AM

LOL, thanks Tommy I agree. We all are working so that we can spend life with the ones we love the best we can.

As for the problems, I don't like to post too many of the preliminary issues when testing a system because it may end up looking bad if someone only reads that part of the post and then gets a certain stigma about it when that really isn't the case.

It may be as simple as a particular adjustment or a corrupt file - I would like to work with the owner to see what it may be and then I will put that in my post so that if people do want the system, they can be confident I have found what will work best with that system to make it work properly.

As always, I really appreciate the great minds here and will definitely post any challenges that may come up after exhausting the company themselves.

Cheers,
Cory
