Forum: Home Simulators - General

I've read PayPal's buyer protection pages, and it seems fairly straightforward, but I was hoping to get confirmation from some who have been through this process. If a private seller sends an invoice stating what the item is and that it is in working order, and I pay using "pay for goods or...

The ES16 Launch Monitor has been announced at $4000 for unit and $300 for software. Really interesting as this is directly compared to Skytrak. Is it work almost $2000 more? Did you think it would have cost that much? (they told us $2500)

Hi all, greetings from the UK, I am new to the simulator discussions, but I am jumping in with both feet tomorrow (literally) and buying a second hand Flightscope X2 and a Full E6 (86 course) package. I don't know the guy I am buying it from, is there anything I should be looking out for in...

Hello all, I am new to the forum. Recently I purchased Optishot. At first I thought it was fun, with good graphics and courses, but noticed erratic results, so I started checking its accuracy. I have found clubface angle measurement to be a complete joke. Swinging at low speed so I can...

I noticed a new version for the GC2. I would like to know is it worth upgrading to the new version? What are the enhancements..thanks!

Forgive me if I missed the conversation but I have been out for awhile. I have a GC2 with some courses and the CG3 I think software package. I am really looking for the setup that The Golf Fix uses (a target I can use at the driving range). Is there a cheap program that will help me add an aim...

I'm putting a simulator in my new home and have set aside a 18x17x10 room and am down to the two sim providers above primarily based on their sales team and experience hitting on the fullswing system. Spending a ton of time demo'ing the various systems unfortunately isn't an option. I don't...

I noticed that swingsense has the Golf club for $995.00 on their website. I contacted Foresight sports and they said that I would need to pay a $999.00 SDK fee to use third party software. I haven't heard of anybody who had the protee & golf club doing this. I'm just looking for more options...

The sim seems high end. It is competing with the About golf, Full Swing etc at a $50K price tag. The sim was a single cam based sim (high speed at 5000fps) but the latest version is 2 cams at 10,000 fps each. Ball tracking only. Its a complete package sim. No ball marking needed. All shots, chips,...

Just a tidbit that was announced today... As you know, GSA Golf and these other packages all run on the Red Chain software engine. That engine was used for a PC game version (typical mouse swing / click) called CustomPlay golf. The software never really took of and never got a retail release....

Hi, I bought a new Optishot and have been trying it out. Have worked on the lighting setup so there should be no issues there. Getting very slow swing speeds from the unit and the club head alignment also seems off. Strange thing is that even with the slow swing speed the distances are...

Good afternoon, I joined this site almost a year ago when we began drawing up plans for our new house. I’ve learned so much by reading the forums in the last 11+ months and want to thank you all for that. I tend to over-analyze everything, and as we are nearing the end of construction I...

I just purchased an Optishot 2 and I am getting some inconsistent results with the clubface angle. If I swing at 50-60% of a normal swing, the clubface angle reads very close to square. However, when I increase my swing speed to a normal swing speed (above 75%), the clubface angle is...

Hi: I am thinking of getting a golf simulator in my basement. The room is more than 15 feet wide, 20 feet long with 10 ft high ceilings. If cost was not a consideration, which one is the best golf simulator on the market. I have read a lot about hd golf, about golf, full swing golf and recently...

I've played a couple online rounds on the optishot 2 and have finished before the other players so I don't know how I ended up shooting compared to my opponent, is there somewhere to look at the results of previous games? Thanks

I will purchase TGC on line today, Saturday, from swing sense. Does anyone know iif TGC can be downloaded and played on day of purchase?

I saw these listed in the foresight catalog Japan, Korea, China 12 premier courses 3500.00 msrp ?? I'm just curious because I've never seen them mentioned. It's on the new foresight price brochure..

Hi I'm looking for advice for the best Laptop to run a optishot 2 I am currently getting conflicting information over the Graphics Card. Some say I need a more powerful in dependant card some others say the below spec should work, please can you help... Option 1 £320 HP Amd A8 Processor...

I had a question on the settings for the vcam. I was getting wacky readings with the vcam. Hitting a 7 iron I was getting 54 degrees of launch and then the ball would dissappear and fall down to half the distance with a reading of 120 mph. Par 2 pro told me that the vcam was reading the club...

Hello all, I recently received a optishot 2 for Christmas. After installing the software and unboxing the unit, I started taking some test swings. I immediately noticed a yardage difference in my real life 7 iron yardage (140) to the in sim yardage (closer to 90 to 100). I scoured this forum...

If you feel that the P3pro's reading of your swing speed is too low(even if it's just 5% off), resulting in a shorter distant compared to real life, then please post when you bought it and whether it's serial or USB. I'm trying to figure out whether this problem affects all or just some P3pro...

I have a HQ screen and the Par2Pro site says it's made to withstand balls hit repeatedly. Why the need for a backing net? I have a enclosure of 1" emt and thick drapes. The screen is affixed to the drape with Velcro and bungee paracord gives the sides and bottom some nice elasticity.

Bought a P3 to play online seems nobody plays online Is there a sim out their that has a lot of online play that's not to expensive and don't say opti shot tried it was not to impressed got a used P3 I am happy with it but am willing to upgrade to play something that has good online play

Hello, I am so glad I found this site. I really could use some help. My plans are to buy a P3proswing simulator this week from Par 2 pro. I ordered and just received my Golf Airmesh Impact Screen 9.8 ft x 11.4 ft (3 m x 3.5) from Khamp sports $119. I also went to Joann fabrics and bought on sale 2...

I've been using the P3 for about a year, I recent bought two Playstation cameras to record my swing. I'm not that impressed with the resolution or low light performance. Does anyone have a better recommendation other than the P3eye camera? Thx, Stu

I was looking at a GC2 with FSX software -but then I came upon TGC, which looks like better software. My question is whether one software package is better than the other for actual game improvement. Although I want to be able to "play" golf on the system (and TGC definitely looks better for...

Anu suggestions for turf? Went to home depot and they sell some but very thin. Said it would have to be glued down (on garage concrete floor) but I'm worried about wrinkling. For those who have done it what can u suggest? I want to order raise the turf to the level of my matt which is about...

I have several courses and in general like them. I don't think the graphics are even close to the Golf Club, but the courses look nice. However, when I do a fly by they stutter or now show a black sky with a moon on the screen. I think I have the minimum requirements exceeded by a lot and only...

Does this mean that we could play their software with a Foresight GC2? I really hope so! http://thegolfclubgame.com/

Not sure if anyone saw this before but looks amazing how it syncs to your phones camera overlays all the info on top of the video! Looks like it records a lot of info but the site is kind of bare... Anyone have more info on this? https://blastmotion.com/products/golf/

I like mine but it's "ball view" seems so much smaller than the regular GC2. It seems the area is 2"x2" and it's getting annoying. Any reason it would be smaller than the ball zone on the normal unit?

Hi, I was interested in setting up an indoor hitting area in my office/study with an eventual simulator setup with SkyTrak or a used GC2. The room is 12 x 13.5 feet. I already bought the Country Club Elite Golf Mat 3 x 5. I was looking at getting a SwingBox and placing it in the corner as the...

Hi wanted to find out if anybody has purchased the spin software and added a camra and how much better is the set up and is the ball spin software worth the price at $199 or should you just set up a camra for launch angle and also what happens if you play on line and you play someone who does not...

I'm a newbie and I've read a lot of threads and have been told I'm a little slow lol but I just can't figure this out. I have a GC2 and both FSX software and its predesessor -they are ok - actually like the FS1 better primarily because of my familiarity with the range from taking lessons at...

I had the chance to spend some time with the folks a Visual Sports http://m.visualsportssys.com/?ref=ht...ortssys.com%2F. I thought it would be a good idea to get an update as to what they ar working on. They have made some good advancements in the golf simulation world with some really nice...
