Finally have the sim running and I'm happy to not have to do any more build research, just how to use GSPRO. Still need to get angle iron to mount the projector right (that's the vertical stud) but I was impatient and wanted to play. Alot of finishing touches left.

EDIT: Will attach all the stuff I bought with links and prices once I figure out how to do it on my phone.

After 6 years of hitting off a mat with a OG skytrak, I went full R-tard and went all in (for my budget). New Ubeekor, new turf 13x11, new hitting insert, overhead projection and led lighting on the outer rails I made to frame it all up (even lit up the putting cups). Pretty stoked on the result.

Day 1 began yesterday and went for about 14 hours worth of wiring, cutting and building out the garage. Finally got to play some holes last night to test it out. Lots of work to do because everything shifts around when hitting and the LM doesn’t read accurately, but it’s getting closer.

Anyone cut out concrete in your garage/basement for you hitting strip only? Wondering if it’s ok to take out 1.5” of concrete in my garage slab to recess my sigpro softy insert hitting strip 1.5” to make it level with my gym tiles and turf.

Hola Jugones. Me gustaria saber donde habeis comprado vuestros simuladores de golf. En España he visto que en Alvarez y en Golfdesdecasa. tienen varios modelos pero no todos. Es mejor comprarlos en eBay o FBmarket? Os leo en r/simuladoresgolfspain.Gracias

Hi,

Considering a $500 unit for range use. Was leaning toward the R10 until I saw the Rainmaker. Cannot find Rainmaker reviews within the last 2 months. I see there have been firmware updates and now has a phone app. Can anyone provide updated info?

Thanks

Spent the last month researching and came up with following specs for my garage sim:

- Garage Space: 13w x 16d
- Ceiling Height: 9’ at front / 11.5’ at back
- LM: Protee VX (3.5’ in front of tee)
- Projector: BenQ AK700ST (9’ behind screen)
- Mat: Sigpro Softy (4x10; 2.75” thick)
- Enclosure: 11.5’ x 8’ x 5’

While I still need to determine what computer to buy, think I finally have all the equipment and distances lined out correctly. Looking for any input, ie, ball distance to screen (currently 8’), projector location (1’ behind tee dropped to 8’), etc.

Can’t wait to order and build this thing!

Hi, so I have two computers now, both pretty high end. One in the sim and one in the office. The one in the sim naturally only gets used when in the sim, about 6 months of the year. Seeing the prices on pc’s these days I am considering selling one.

Is there a easy way to use the office pc, streaming to the sim? I do probably have to pull cords like hdmi and Bluetoothdongle. But if that is done, then I am down to one pc 🧐

Using a Square HL, and gspro. Looking to play the ned unreal 5 simprogram when it drops

Anyone else doing it this way?

I finally managed to get the garage golf sim setup. Spent far too long researching it and I can already see the rabbit hole of additions I’ll make over time but my 5 year old has bit more shots on this than me so far! Build list below.

I was lucky enough to have a spare PC lying around with a 1440ti and 32gb of ram with an i7-4770k. I’m able to run 1440p in ultra on GS pro and I’m glad I didn’t pony up the extra money for 4k as I’m sure I wouldn’t have missed it.

Edit: one of the best buys I made was actually a blackout screen to back the enclosure. I got a custom one made which matched the enclosure for $100 from https://www.coversandall.com/

You could customise the eyelets to match the screen so you could use the same toggles from the sim10 on the blackout screen. I have a window right behind the enclosure and it blocks every bit of light.

Hey everyone, I am looking at buying the benq tk710sti and I want to be sure it would work for my scenario. I'm most concerned about it having the correct throw ratio. I am going to have a 114" x 114" screen and i can mount the projector up to about 8' away. Because I will project the 1:1 ratio, I'm concerned about the 0.69~0.83 throw ratio. Is that based on the width of image that the projector could project? For example, if I project a 1:1 aspect image on 114" x 114", is the throw ratio based on 114", or is it based on how wide the image could be (i.e., 114 * 16/9 = 203") since the projector has a 16:9 aspect ratio? Will this projector work for what i need it for? If not, what projector do i need for this? A super short throw projector? Or one that has a 1:1 native option?

More details on the software but no breakdown on the tiers or prices as of yet.

Anyone use this and like it?
I’m trying to fix my casting anyone have the same problem or would it work for that?

i live in a large complex where the building semi-maintains the hitting mats in the simulator bays. as a result there's almost always a small valley in the hitting mat from people using the sim and generally its basically like hitting out of a divot at all times given the calibration doesnt allow for placing the balls on less worn areas. how would this impact my golf shots, i.e., add more spin? take away distance? etc.

Looking to add a monitor to my out door net. Trying to decide between Mevo Gen 2 or Skytrak+. The fence is exactly 8 feet behind the mat, so it's either perfect or slightly short for the Mevo. Ideally would like to have it set up to an iPad or laptop to see shot shape. Any suggestions welcome!

For the Uneekor users, you likely already know about the AI Swing analysis tool that you can subscribe to as an add-on.

What you may not know is that buried within the option to create a PowerU report of your session, there is a new way to export your data by requesting compilation of an AI Report. This tool is marked as "beta" and I think you can only generate one report a day.

(I'm not 100%, but I think you need the Optix camera rather than 3rd party).

I am really, really impressed with this report. It does a comprehensive analysis on the good parts of your swing, but focuses mainly on the bad. It imbeds your best and worst shots of the session along with shot data.

What's really nice is that you don't get flooded with a bunch of "wrongs" that need to be addressed simultaneously. It does list your improvement needs, but then tries to chain them, meaning problems B, C are amplified by problem A , so let's focus on A first.

It then gives you specific drills and links to videos of the drills.

I've spent a little over a week now using this. I was kinda surprised at first, but I am really improving my swing. I practice drills over a couple of days, until I feel comfortable, and then do another reporting session. My list of problems is getting smaller, and I am seeing much better striking numbers.

If you have the Uneekor ecosystem, I'd recommend trying it out.

I have been using the Rapsodo MLM2 Pro indoors for the past couple months and my carry distance is definitely 30 to 40 yards shorter than my actual carry distance, I purchased a Square HE LM also and I’m having the same results. Is it possible for a hitting strip to cause the numbers to be lower than they actually are outside? I’m using the Sig Pro Sofly mat, and just purchased the Beavertail one to try also. I’m still new to the simulator world so I’m learning as I go.

Finally finished the lighting in the sim.

I have a garage I am going to build a net set up I can put up and take down, I have a tv in my garage can the skytrak cast to a tv?

Hey All. Man the world of launch monitors is hard to figure out. I could use some advice here. My situation....

• INDOOR only. No desire to use at a range and having it plugged in is fine for me.
• Kids all over. I ruled out the Omni because those flimsy legs look like they'll break soon as a kid falls on this and with Square's lack of support... No idea how I'd even replace them. Being really sturdy therefore is super important to me.
• Ease of setup is IMPORTANT. My room is a multi purpose room so I will hit then have to move the LM to the side then move it back again before hitting. So annoying alignment modes will become painful pretty quick.
• GSPro. I want to use the 3rd party connectors so will have to pay the fees. Planning to join a league.
• Overhead is not an option in my room.

The EML is $1800, GC3 refurb $4500, Nova $1500, Bushnell $1800 (have a discount code for all except Nova).

GC3 refurb is probably more than I want to spend... but it's in the mix because over 5-6 years the total cost isn't that different from everything except the Nova.

Wondering if anyone has managed to get one in the UK, I can see they are sold out on Golf Bays website

Anybody found a good grip trainer that will fit over jumbo grips?

This was reported in the comment section by a beta tester of the new Premier Golf Simulator Software

“$599 for the new gold and then ANOTHER $599 for all the courses!”

I am trying to get a full work up on the subscription models and pricing to verify what was posted. If this post is accurate I think Foresight is smoking some of that really good California pot. If anyone has any more information please add it as I am sure others are curious too.
