r/Golfsimulator

I have the Sigpro Softy 4x10 mat. The sigpro softy hitting strip is not working for me whatsoever, I'm having to completely change my swing that works very good in real golf. I would like to keep the stance mat and just replace the hitting strip. I have a very steep swing and would like no joint pain, what is best for that combo

I’m building a minimal outdoor golf sim that will connect to a TV and No PC or laptop. My want is to be able to virtual golf and accurate readings.

Is the Rapsodo mlm2pro and Garmin r10 my only option?
Just confirming the consensus is the MLM2pro is better than the r10 but double the price.

One my friends hit me up and asked about best radar devices. I only know personally from camera based so figured everyone would know

He laid out

Fullswing kit for 1700 used

New Mlm2xpro

Or the mevo

Priorities are simulation and range. Anyone have experience with any of these 3 devices?

Looking for advice here. I plan to have the net be like a curtain on a track so i can slide it/tuck it away when not in use.

I have 18 inches from where i plan to hang the net and the garage wall. Is there any net type/thickness that can stop a ball in 18 inches? I need it to hold up to 170 mph ball speed or so. Do I need to change my plans? I jave seen people suggest adding a 2nd layer or baffle, but I would really prefer to just have the one net if possible. I was originally planning on buying a 10 foot net and having the bottom ft pool onto yhr concrete (my garage rafters are at 9 ft)

I've been pricing out sim builds for my garage and these platform prices are insulting. $900 for some 2x4s and plywood with turf on top. I built a standing desk for my tutorial setup for under $200, so this feels like the same racket.

My plan is to frame with 2x4s, two layers of OSB, stall mat from Tractor Supply on bottom for bounce, then cheap range mat on top I can replace when it wears out. Might angle it slightly for drainage since I'm in Georgia and humidity is basically a roommate.

I hit maybe 200 balls a week, nothing crazy. Teenager uses it too when he's not glued to his phone. My swing speed is average, nothing tour level.

Main worry is joint pain from poor shock absorption. Had tendonitis in my elbow years ago from a bad office mouse, don't need a repeat. Also unsure if I need that center hitting strip everyone talks about or if that's just marketing.

What did you actually build versus buy? Any regrets on going cheap? Particularly interested if your knees or elbows punished you later for cutting corners.

I was excited about this, but it looks like a $400 minimum subscription is required for course play

Hi everyone,

Due to a very specific layout challenge I can not use a hitting strip solution on my new home.

What does /Golfsimulator recommend as a one-piece mat, around 5x5 feet or so, for an indoor space? Ideally something realistic & not injury prone.

Thanks!

Hi,

Recently been thinking about getting a launch monitor, I practice at the range quite often, prob 4-5 times a week and spend about 2 hour every time. And my question is what’s gonna be the best one to get as I practice outdoor and will not have an indoor use on it, budget is 2k could stretch a little bit. Will not use course play or anything is that sort. Mainly just ball and club data. Will be ok with used aswell. Thank you everyone.

I posted emails I sent to foresight last week criticizing the current state of affairs at foresight and my account was banned ny Reddit. Wonder if I will get banded again.

Have been thinking about adding a Sim to improve my game over the winter months here in Toronto.

Thought I could fit a Sim in my basement, but looking a bit tight now. I could break out a 10x10 space for it (no wall behind me but could push a table out). Then was looking at a Skytrack or Square Omni with an 8x8 or possibly 8x10 enclosure with screen.

Issue is ceiling height. It’s about 8’8”. I’m 5’11” and with a driver I’m basically an inch or so from the ceiling. So I’m assuming no driver in this scenario?

Wish I had thought of a golf sim before I finished my basement or put a mezzanine in my garage!

Hi everyone,

First time opening a business - planning on doing a local 2 bay 24 hour unattended facility.

I had a couple concerns that i haven't seen addressed...

The space I'm planning to lease has sprinklers 12 feet apart (wide) and 14 feet apart (long). I need to clear any obstruction around them by 1.5 feet in any direction according to local code. I'd like to do an enclosure, but any advice or ways you have avoided the sprinkler issue?

2. This place has drop down ceilings. I need to mount my projector and LM overhead, but not sure the best spot. It has 10 foot ceilings, which is fine from everything I've seen. I can take out any of the tiles I'd like. Any suggestions on where to properly hang the lm and projector without risking getting hit?

3. Would you have a full enclosure 10 feet wide and 8 feet deep and mount the lm off the front crossbar?

My expected setup will be 2x of the following:

ProTee VX (instead of Uneekor EYE XO2 or Trackman IO)...any issues with that would be nice to know. I've read ProTee VX could have connectivity issues, and the Uneekor EYE XO2 can have cache issues with their software. Planning on GSPro. Trackman is an addition $30k of start up expense.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Is 1/2" puzzle mat under grizzly grass on top of a plywood floor enough to minimize bounce back or should I also have a layer of rigid foam board? I have a Carl's Place hitting mat that will sit on top of it all so not worried about the stance or ball strike.

Has anyone successfully created a diy hitting mat to use different hitting strips from big moss, fiberbuilt holy grail to be able to interchange between them. Is it worth the hassle? Seems if can do it right it’s worth it. Thoughts
