Info and opinions wanted on aboutGolf

[cbehan]

I have a local golf retailer that is going out of business and liquidating their complete aboutGolf range setup.

Specifically:
Anyone have any experience with these units at home?
Anyone know if it can be installed in a location with lower ceilings than the Range setup (ideally a basement with 8 to 9 foot ceilings)?
Anyone estimate what it would cost me to add courses? The current setup is range only.


Thanks all!

8' ceilings are too low. 9' is borderline - could be too short if you have a tall hitter, or using a driver, or have a more vertical swing than normal. 9' becomes even shorter if you end up with any kind of platform or ceiling finishing, etc. Keep in mind that a driver is about 4 feet long. Hold it at a 45* swing plane and it still accounts for 2' of height. Take a 6' tall guy bent over a bit but with stretched out arms on the follow through with a driver and your ceiling (and club?) is toast.

I've heard good things on the system - usually the complaint is that it is very expensive without necessarily being that much more accurate. But getting it for a discounted price sounds like a pretty good deal. No direct experience though.

The discount was surprising....$6K for a complete range system with brand new screen. I think I can make that work, but that's why I come back to ceiling height and adding courses.

Is this their radar or camera system?

It's an AG Studio that's less than 3 years old, so I'm assuming camera...

Not sure cours will work with th Ag Studio. Would advise you contact About golf regarding courses, ceiling height etc.

You cannot play courses on AG Studio. It is just the range. You need an ISU to play the onyx courses.

Exactly what I recall as well.
