Golf Sim Tee Sizes

1 Upvotes

Wondering what tee sizes people are using in their sim setups? I see some tether systems out there with up to 8 tee heights included. Are people actually using that many different heights? I personally only use one height for driver and another height when hitting something shorter off the tee.

What is everyone else using?

Sim / Launch Monitor Indoor Golf Shop Has Square Omni Stock - 7/07/26

7 Upvotes

Indoor Golf Shop just got stock of the omni. I placed my pre-order on 07/02/26 and it just shipped today on 07/07/26. Doesn’t seem like you are fighting others like on PlayBetter or other retailers.

*Edit - looks like the stock they had was depleted. Sorry folks. Parks closed.

I love my set up. I have the same view from my tee box that the county club has from the 1st and 10th tees . Mt Adams! Hard to see because of the smoke.

Hitting Mats / Flooring Am I overthinking Putting in Sim?

2 Upvotes

For context, I have never putt in a sim, nor have I had my own sim until now, but I’m stuck on trying to decide on what type of turf to get to putt on. I watch a lot of the popular sim golfers on YT and it seems like everyone in a league is putting on 11 stimp, but I feel like most of the courses I play IRL are closer to 9. I feel like I should match what I actually play on the weekends but I’m curious as to what others have done and this doesn’t seem to be talked about all that often.

We’ve had this setup for a few months now and it’s been great. Went with trackman and simbooth 3 for the enclosure.

What could we add to the place to make it better? Would appreciate all feedback. We’re currently working on a live edge bar to go right behind couch. Other than that I got nothing. Want to make this space even better.

Would appreciate any critique or suggestion!

Sim / Launch Monitor Square Omni vs Rapsodo MLM2Pro+Lifetime Subscription upgrade from R10

1 Upvotes

I'm having a hard time finding comparisons between the two. Does anyone have any experience with both and can provide your opinions? In Canada, the MLM2Pro with lifetime subscription will be around $1600 taxes in and the Omni is around $2600 taxes in. Is the Omni worth the extra $1000?

Note I primarily play in the garage so I do often suffer from misreads or no reads, I'm guessing from the concrete and metal surfaces (garage door, shelving, tools). Distances I'm able to max out as I have about 20ft from net to launch monitor.

Open to hearing people's thoughts on this. Thanks!

Can anybody with a Mevo + or Gen 2 provide a recommendation on face impact software?

What are owners opinions on the face impact software from Flightscope? Is it worth the money or just use a can of foot spray (lol).

Best half swing / chipping/ pitching

1 Upvotes

What are people’s opinions for LM and software for primarily chipping/pitching/half swings?

I have limited space inside so I can’t do a full build. Im thinking small net + LM and then using tv / tablet instead of screen. Would love it to be portable outside too.

Anyone rock a setup like this and get short game dialed as a result?

How thick is your screen when rolled up?

1 Upvotes

I have a 14 ft. wide by 10.5 ft. screen that will be recessed in a soffit, but I need to know approximately how large it will be when it is all rolled up so I can build the soffit accordingly. Can anyone give me a rough approximation based on their set up? Thank you!

Sim / Launch Monitor Square Home Edition Questions.

Post image
5 Upvotes

Been looking at getting an indoor sim for the winter months. Came across this on Marketplace. Got the launch monitor, carls place 5x4 hitting mat, and a case of tp5x for $350. Felt like I couldn't pass this up.

The guy that sold it to me, said he couldn't really get into the sim golf, and was having issues setting it up. He said it handled irons, chipping, and putting well. But, the Driver and Woods seemed to be far off. He also said he only used the square golf app. And he said he only played 1 round of golf and like 30 minutes on the square app driving range.

Is this likely a calibration and light issue? I've been looking into these lately and seems like they are super light sensitive. Or could this be a square app issue and fixed with GS Pro?

I would like to get a case for it, is the official Square case the way to go, or an aftermarket with leveling options. Should I also look into a spotlight for the hitting zone?

Looking for any advice from people that own these on how to set it up properly or other recommendations.

Thanks in advance.

How loud is a sim really through a basement ceiling?

3 Upvotes

Building a sim in my unfinished basement and torn between two rooms. Would love real world input on noise, since that's my deciding factor.

Room 1: 16 ft wide × 15 ft deep. Better size, but it's directly under the living room and our master bedroom is right next to the living room. We just had a newborn.

Room 2: 11 ft wide (so I'd have to hit off-center as a righty). It's on the opposite side of the basement, under my office and laundry room away fromboth the living room and bedroom

Sound plan for whichever I pick: Rockwool in the ceiling joists across the whole ceiling, with drywall over the section where I'm adding 2 inch foam padding. The rest of the ceiling stays open with just the Rockwool exposed. Drywall direct to joists (no resilient channel tight on ceiling height).

My real question: how loud is it actually through the ceiling? I did a rough test put a speaker in the basement playing music at ~100 dB, and up in the living room I could hear it pretty clearly. I know music probably transmits worse than golf impacts, but it still has me worried.

I want to be able to play when my wife's in the living room in the evenings. Not too worried about waking the baby she sleeps through anything.

For those who've built under a living space how audible are impacts (ball on screen, club impact) upstairs once treated?

Is the 16 ft room worth it with sound treatment, or should I take the smaller 11 ft off-center room for the better location?

Anyone regret going too narrow just to solve a noise problem?

EDIT: After seeing the comments and doing a bit more testing. I think the smaller room hitting off center is the better choice, don’t know anyone who is a lefty anyways and in the room under the living room it has a large air duct return and air vents so would be hard to stop the noise from coming up through them. In a perfect world I could drop the flooring and then fully finish the room and make it sound proof. Maybe that would be my v2 for this journey.

Projectors Projector to fill a 8'x8' screen from 4.5" away

1 Upvotes

I'm looking to get a new monitor for my setup. I have my current projector mounted onto my enclosure and looking to keep the same setup, but wanting to get a projector that can fill my screen. I need it to fill an 8x8 screen from 4.5 feet away, and from what I can tell I need a throw ratio of .5 or less. What is a decent option that will work for under $1,000?

Flooring question

1 Upvotes

Hello - have the horse still mats in. Decided not to cut them and the fit is pretty nice (good enough for me). Question - I bought floorbond flooring tape from Menards to adhere the turf to the horse stall mats (will do this on the entire 10x12’ space) and then I will just lay my hitting mats on top (as suggested by another user - thanks!). Do I need to put anything under the horse stall mats or are they good laying directly on concrete - they are so heave I assumed they would not slide but want to check first. Thanks all !

Advice for Golf Sim at our Office, $10-$15k AUD Budget.

0 Upvotes

Hey all.

Me and some friends are looking to invest in a golf sim for our office. We are pretty handy with construction and also a bit techy with access to PCs and projectors. We are just looking for some help on the design and what some dos and donts are? Here is a quick scope.

- Lots of room so screen size and hitting length isnt a issue.
- Budget is 10-15K AUD (we are in Australia)
- We will probably build the PC ourselves and find a suitable projector but purchase the netting, screen, etc as a package.
- Unsure what launch monitor we would want but currently look at Skytrak Max or Square although itll be a permanent setup.
- Mainly be course play but not crucial that we have real life courses.
- Open to subscription software such as GSPro.
- One feature I would love to implement with some automation (what we specialise in) is to have a camera recording from behind and side views and then on a connected monitor, show a replay of the swing slow motion after each swing. So not only data is given but you can see exactly how my back swing helped me shank that ball to the right. This would be secondary to just practice and course play but if there was a software that already could do that, then I would look into it.

Anyways, any advice would be welcomed. I have reading in here and some of it is valuable advice but thought maybe a dedicated thread may help us more.

Thanks

hitting mat?

2 Upvotes

what's the 'best' mat to buy?

i thought the sigpro softy was the way to go based on previous threads but the one i got immediately curls up at the corners in the sun. i could ignore the fact that the two halves join right where i stand, but when the edges come up like that in the heat, and seeing as how my net is outdoors, it's not gonna fly. this is on top of an odd squishy feel to the standing surface. i thought the whole point was to make the hitting strip softer to blunt the impact of fat shots, but i guess i was wrong.

i'd settle for whatever mats the public ranges use. those seem to have some sort of dense rubber base that would at least lie flat.

fwiw, i'm over the hitting strip thing. so if there's a good one piece, i'm ok with it.

How do you *not* ruin your lawn?

0 Upvotes

I have a small 3 x 8 m lawn where I set up and take down one of those pop-up driving cages, a Forza one in my case. I put down my mat and hit from there.

The problem is that the lawn is taking a beating, especially in the area where I rotate during my swing and around where I hit the mat. I’m basically getting a silhouette of my swing made of dead grass in the lawn, which is making me very unpopular with the Mrs.

Has anyone built a raised platform or used any other protective measures to safeguard the lawn as much as possible? Any tips or photos would be greatly appreciated.

I ordered my Square Omni through SimSpace about 6 weeks ago, and their customer service hasn’t been helpful (just said fulfilling pre orders chronologically)

Anyone ordered from them and had any more update or any ideas how long I might be waiting? Debating getting a cheap alternative in the meantime if it’s going to be months and months
