If I only want to know the carry distance, do I need to use the alignment stick? How can I make sure the ball direction is good with the default Quad alignment? I ask because I think a 2" mis-alignment could be 3 to 4 degree offline. and it can change the spin direction too?

Does anyone have a copy of the gc2 windows driver? the link is broken here: https://spaces.hightail.com/receive/tERBV I filed a support ticket over a week ago with no response. The file name is FSS GC2 Driver Installer.exe I can create a place to upload if you find it. Thanks! Jesse

My impact screen has black ball / scuff marks all over it. They look more like rubber scuffs. I tried washing with soap and mr clean magic eraser. Didn't do a thing. Now I am looking for ideas to solve my problem that don't include getting a new impact screen because it is built into the...

I have GC quad and a basic simulator in my basement built by Foresight Canada that Im only able to hit balls with wedges, irons. I want to get a full simulator package just like Sim-In-Box Birdie package in my living room. Anyone know where I can get something like that? Thank you,

Hi everyone, I am currently awaiting my SkyTrak and thinking about setting up an impact screen vs a net at some point in the future. Wondering if you had any recommendations on retractable screens that can work around garage door openers etc. Thanks in advance. Gerry

I'm looking for thoughts/feedback on a cheap backyard enclosure for a golf simulator setup. Tarps, portable garages, enclosures, ???. Any ideas?

I'm interested in purchasing your SKYTRAK Golf simulator if you're not using it or have decided to upgrade to something else. Should be in good condition. Thanks Bernbaum

Hey All, Looking to see if there’s any input for best Canadian sellers for Skytrak and sim accessories (fibre built, impact screen, etc). I’m starting my build and looking to try and save some coin where possible! New to the area and excited to start the build!

Hello guys, I'm looking for ideas or alternatives. The only suitable space for my golf simulator would be my 2 car garage since it has a 11' ceiling. The only problem is the setup needs to be removable so I can park my cars. I was thinking a retractable impact screen hung from the ceiling. ...

Does anyone have experience using 3 monitors with one computer using NIVIDIA cards. Think I am going to use a GTX 1080 card for FSX software from foresight. I have 3 monitors. Not sure if the cards power more than one monitor or I need a card for each. I have the computer monitor which...

Replacing a Optoma 750 short throw project that does 720p with a short throw that does 1080P, Any recommendations. Image size approximately 16 ft wide by 9 ft high from about 9 ft away. Thanks

Curious if anyone uses the Foresight FSX software in 4k projection? I am going from 720P to at a minimum to 1080p. Not sure if you see a big different from 1080p to 4k in a non gaming mode - mostly on the range and club fitting mode.

Hi So I have some room size limitations that are impacting my selection of projectors. Essentially I have screen size of 108 inches wide by 81 high (for a 4.3 ratio) Given room size it appears that I use a short throw projector but here is the kicker I want to be hitting from between 7 to...

Hi, so I have completed my simulator build but I used metal beams for the frame. Now the front two metal (side) beams that the screen is connected to are exposed. Would like any suggestions on what to use to protect these beams to prevent ricochet? I know GT uses these foam blocks/strips but I...

Golfsimxpert, you mentioned using a baffle curtain to protect the ceiling on another thread. We see these used in many simulators like AboutGolf and HDGolf however they are not readily available. Can you post some pictures of a baffle curtain setup as well as side curtains that are on a track...

I have an Accusport Vector Pro that I'm having trouble installing software drivers on a Windows 7 64 bit laptop. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. PM Club Rx

I'd like to add a camera set-up to do live video analysis indoors in my hitting bay. I have a newish laptop with a good graphics card, and I plan to add a USB 3.0 camera. Just not sure about the camera specifics or which software to use. I don't want to buy $500+ professional software for...

Hello, I just discovered this forum. I am in the midst of building a new home in the Toronto area, and hoping to put a golf simulator in the basement. Things are not finalized yet, but I should have 10 foot ceilings, and lots of width and depth. My golf club just installed two HD Golf...

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...

My understanding is the GC2 unit (not the QUAD) assumes you are at sea level. Hence that produces different carry distances from the real world. Anyone know of a way in the options to change the altitude setting? I know the QUAD detects your altitude and fixes that problem but I have the GC2...

http://www.allsportsystems.com/golf-simulator-hitting-screen.html Anyone use this one? Is this good quality and ok to use?

Building a indoor golf simulator. I have the space to have a TM4, I like that it is set back, love the software/video, education tools, and I really like JNPG for sim play. The GCQ is obviously outstanding but I'm not a fan of only being able to use the FSX, not a fan of the courses. Is TM data...

I plan to have a gcQ installed in my basement in a 9 ft tall, 10 ft wide 15 ft deep room. I'm looking for Good ppl to do the job. Anyone knows? Thank you!

Newbie here, I’ve tried to consume as many threads as needed to feel educated enough to post. Thank you to all for the contributions that have created a tremendous resource. My intent here is to ensure I understand the current state of all the recommendations before I embark on this project. ...

can someone point me to what i need to buy to replace the ribbon cable connector that attaches to the hitting sensor?

Long time lurker and occasional poster here. After 3 years or so of waiting for the right components to come out and convincing the wife, the golf sim is now complete, and quite frankly... I think its pretty damn impressive. I’ll go into fairly extensive detail here so that folks can follow...

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...

Ok guys, I have been using the Skytrak full metal jacket (FMJ) and simply put, its awesome. Its certainly the best case I have seen. The cutouts for the Skytrak cams etc. are perfect. I played my recent rounds with it and there were 0 no reads or misreads. The case is very solid and made extremely...

I'm in the preliminary stages of planning a sim room, and want to make sure my understanding about projectors is correct. I'm looking at the Optoma GT760 Projector (http://www.projectorcentral.com/Optoma-GT760.htm). I'm planning on a 12 foot wide screen, so my understanding is that with this...

Hi all I have always been keen on having a home studio for the winter months here in Scoland. I live nowhere near a driving range and I'm sure having the ability to hit balls over the winter would help my game. Using half of my garage gives me a hitting space of 21 feet long x 9.5 feet wide...

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

I'm looking for a golf mat to work on things indoors. My main factors are shock absorption (I want to take a 'divot') and price. Please let me know what mats you have been most happy with. 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...
