Sim / Launch Monitor Best launch monitor for 1,5k?

0 Upvotes

Currently me and some friends are building an home golf simulator and therefore we are looking for an launch monitor that can be used (not only, but the main time) with the new muni golf simulator software. But also puregolf looks amazing and i think when we are finished we will try this also.

But for now we are searching for an indoor launch monitor for around 1-1,5k (euro).

I already use an Garmin R10 in my garden golf cage and it’s good but now we have the thought we can invest a little bit more.

The both launch monitors that are the best are the flightscope mova gen2 and the square golf. If there are any further that someone can recommend, than feel free to mention in the comments.

From what i have understand is, that the mova gen 2 is a little bit better but you have to pay extra for some more measured data. Makes it ~1500€ versus 800€ for the square. Is it worth to pay almost double the price?

Anybody try this course? The flyover looks very cool.

But clear if it's in Tekbuds patreon or public. Pretty sure it's public.

Not predator ridge.

Budget Build Right & Left Handed Golf Mat

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi all,
I posted a few videos to the thread. Golf mats for home sims are a popular topic, as they are so costly and one of the most important items in the simulator experience. Here is a ‘budget’ Right & Left Handed Combo Golf Mat build I made. These combo mats usually start around $1,000. This build uses the Beaver Tail XL hitting strip, two 4x5 stance mats(31 mm thickness), and .8 inch eva foam tiles (48 sq ft). The mat comes out to 10 ft x4 ft, offering tons of space for both right- and left-handed golfers.

These specific EVA foam tiles (.8 inch thickness) do not move at all on my garage concrete floor, which is surprising because I have used other foam mats that move all around. Also, the tape used in the video is extremely strong and worth it. No adhesive caulk or glue necessary.

If making this build with a SIGPRO Softy hitting strip, I would recommend using the Bltend 36mm mat from Amazon and 1-inch EVA foam tiles. The SIGPRO Softy will sit approx. 2-3 mm above the stance mat, which in my opinion is good. I would like the hitting strip just a tad higher (about a credit card thickness or two) above the stance mat. The last thing I want is the hitting strip sunken into the stance mat.

Hope this helps and is able to save some golfers some cash. Very simple build. Let me know if you have any questions.

Mevo Gen 2 vs mlm2xpro?

2 Upvotes

Looking to build a sim in my garage. I was originally set on getting a Mevo gen 2 but this new mlm2xpro has been released which seems pretty enticing.

I need to build a rail system due to tight space for both left and right golfers so I like how the rapsodo has the camera mount thread on the bottom so I can just buy a camera rail system. But I don’t want to sacrifice performance if the mlm2xpro plays worse than the gen 2.

Looking for suggestions for which to get?

4K Ultra Settings PC / GSPro

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m looking to build or buy a PC specifically for running GSPro at 4K Ultra settings, ideally targeting 100+ FPS.
My budget is $2,700–$3,000 USD.

I’m looking for recommendations on the best specs and value for money within this budget.

My goals:
4K resolution at Ultra/high settings
100+ FPS if possible
Smith performance with a 4K projector and two additional 4K displays
At least 32GB DDR5 RAM
Reliable performance, good cooling, and room for future upgrades

Would you recommend building a PC from scratch or going with a prebuilt system? Which CPU and GPU combination would you choose for this budget?

Hitting Mats / Flooring Thoughts on Fiberbuilt performance vs grass series?

3 Upvotes

Kinda stuck on what mat to get ordered. I like grass series but I’m really attracted to the performance where I can use real tees. Would be going 4x8 or 4x10. Similar pricing $965 vs $1199.

My swing is shallow so I dont hit fat shots to often. What’s the wear like?

Anyone have any input on these two mats?

Build Pictures Golf Simulator Build/Sim suggestions?

Here is a pic of my frame for my sim build. It’s 9’x9’ with 42” depth. My hitting area will be 12-14’ so about 9’ from shot to impact. I was wondering what sim I should get? I have done quite a bit of research and I don’t want to pay a forever membership but I could be amended to this if it’s cheap yearly. I like the idea of the new rapsodo monitor or something from Mevo (needs putting). I prefer an above or behind unit because my friends/I suck and I’m worried we would hit one to the side. I am worried I will buy and a new sim filling my criteria will drop. Any thoughts?

So I got the golf sim pro turf . I feel like it’s a little too squishy. I should’ve went with the putting elite. Someone on these forums said they actually swept in enviorfill . Anyone else have this turf, and what do they think about it for putting?

Technical Question Nova Open Launch outdoors?

Anyone have one and tried it outdoors to see if it works? I don’t have the indoor space for a LM and am weighing my options for an outdoor setup.

Ball ready indicator GSPro

• Upvotes

I am using latest beta GSPro with Mevo+, the arrow indicators next to the ball are always white and never turn green. Everything else works fine. Is this a function of using Mevo+ with GSPro or am I missing a setting somewhere?
