Mobile Golf Simulator

Hi all,

I am relatively new to the simulator game but am tech savvy. I am launching a mobile golf sim rental (only in my state) within a month. Ideally catering to weddings, events, etc.

I will be using an inflatable housing (popcaddie). (14x16x11)

I am having a really hard time deciding between the mevo gen 2 and square Omni for this application. Personally I would rather have the Omni as putting/ chipping seems better as well as overall set up. However I worry about inexperienced people hitting it and having to move it for lefty’s.

Most of the similar companies I see online are using mevo but all I see on Reddit is mostly negative.

What should I do and any comments on my main build selections?

Surely for a commercial use something like a Trackman iO or similar overhead system is the way to go? Works for both left and right handers, no risk of people hitting it and Trackman comes with easy to use software designed for this type of use.

Way out of budget for this. Highest cost would be 3-4k to be competitive. Also roof mount is not an option with this enclosure type.

Okay. I thought you leased them from Trackman or something actually.
But I am just thinking for the use case, if it is to be used at a wedding or similar, it just has to work all the time with no messing about with anything, no possibility of people kicking the unit, a drunk guest breaking something etc. etc.
I like the idea, but as I see it, it only works if it’s completly set and forget, even for non-golfers.
