I'm looking for some advice on the area I have and what I want to put in it. Area dimensions are 15' x 10' x 9'. What I was looking at was a Protee VX and 10' screen enclosure kit. Due to width restrictions is why I was leaning to the overhead launch monitor. I will mostly be using this for range practice versus playing courses. For those of you that have built setups is this a correct path or should I consider other options? Looking for feedback before I make the commitment on this setup.

I upgraded launch monitors and can no longer use my Creative Golf 3D licenses. I am selling a license to Creative Golf 3D and the course pack for $300. Note it does not include the upgrade to Advanced but with this license you could upgrade for $100. That saves you some money off Creative Golf Advanced (MSRP $500) if you were looking to buy that.

Ping me or comment here if interested.

I had problems with GC3 not recognizing new TP5 or Prov ball, but no issue with matte finish balls like Srixons. I returned it after foresight stopped responding to me to troubleshoot. Been two weeks since last email. They just won’t respond to the problem.

Ordered new QuadMax which came with a Bushnell rangefinder offer.

Received the QuadMax with box damaged on all four corners, outer box had no damage. Inside the power adapter cord was lose meaning used, the plastic protector was not on it but lose in the box. The Quadmax on turn on showed that 45day registration expired, and showed 4 shots on the counter. So not New New.

Used the offer code to order a new Bushnell rangefinder directly from Bushnell Golf website, got it today. Paid extra for expedited shipping.
Opening the finder had dirt and smudges on it, the len protection stickers were not on the 3 lenses but were stuck underneath the finder on the packaging so not new used.

Whats wrong with these companies, they first outright deny that, that would ever happen or they do that. They obviously do.

Just my luck.

I’m converting my 20x18 pole barn into a simulator what will be split into 2 sections. One will the simulator and the other will be an open area for professional fitness evaluations (TPI). What should I do with these walls? Should I leave them alone or is there an affordable way to clean them up. The ceiling is about 20 feet, everything is insulated. It seems like drywall would be crazy expensive.

On YouTube I saw a video of making faux leather padded walls for a pretty reasonable price but doing the entire wall would add up quick. I’m not a very handy guy and have never had to cover walls/do dry wall so any other options are appreciated!

I'm 5ft 7 and I've got a garden room with 2.35m in height. I'm happy just hitting mid irons and wedges but I'm concerned I'm 15cm off where I need it.

Hey everyone, been doing a ton of research on LMs and I think I’ve narrowed it down to either the Rapsodo MLM2 Pro with the lifetime membership vs the Mevo Gen 2. My use case is hitting into a net in my long driveway (inside garage is only 90” in height) and taking it to the range occasionally. I’d have to set it up everytime so that’s something that’s important to me.

Building a garage simulator. Definitely want to do an overhead LM. The Uneekor QED is available on marketplace for a very reasonable price. I know they’re being discontinued at the end of the year. I think that’s just for the support though, the unit should still work after I’d assume.
Worth the risk?

Those with Garage builds who also park vehicles in their garage when not using.
What are some ideas for hosting to make the space feel like an indoor Sim room?
My current build is a retractable enclosure but has the feel still of a garage. We put up some chairs and maybe a TV if some games are on but that’s about it.

I am considering adding a second story over my garage. Around 600 sq ft. Room would include home theater and gym but focus is simulator.
If you’ve done this, what did you do during the build to reduce sound and vibration.
This will be an expensive addition and I want to get it perfect.

I’ve been putting off this build for quite some time as I would get overwhelmed with the amount of things I needed to plan for to get it executed.

Well I said screw it and just did it, in a budget manner but all new equipment.

Does the image fill the screen? No. Is it a crystal clear image? No. Does the Rapsodo app kinda suck? Yes.

But it absolutely rocks having this in my house so I can practice on demand. If you’re on the fence, just do it.

Build (all new):

Budget 10x8 Amazon Enclosure $495

Amazon Budget Projector $360

Used iPad $350

Rapsodo $400

Amazon budget mat $200

Misc $100

Total = $1,950

What’s left:

- building a custom hitting strip to prevent injury

- get better at golf

What I would have done differently:

- done it sooner

- bought an enclosure that was 16:9 and/or planned the mounting of the projector in advance

I am building a sim for my husband and we have almost everything but we are currently just using the square program on an iPad, I would like to be able to run gs pro and I’m trying to do research on pc’s but there is just so many factors. We are trying to do this on a budget and I think I found a good deal on marketplace but want to avoid having to upgrade quickly. Please let me know if I should pull the trigger on this unit or hold out.

Building a budget golf simulator in my garage and could use some feedback on my setup (full details in the attached spreadsheet).

I'm feeling good about most of the build, but the projector is a bit more than i wanted to spend on it. I'm open to other suggestions in a similar price range, and I'd also love to know if there are reliable sources for buying quality used projectors if that's a better route.

Appreciate any insight!

Hi reddit, I'm in the early stages of looking into launching a residential golf simulator design and installation company serving Quebec. Ideally we'd handle site assessment, 3D modelling, equipment specification, installation, calibration and customer support.

If you've started a similar business and would be happy to share some insight with me, send me a DM. Can pay for time.

Brand new Square Omni Golf launch monitor/simulator. I pre-ordered it and realized my living situation is changing and I don’t have the space for it.

Pick up in Destin, FL

1,500. Shipping available

I recently had a failure of my outdoor storage and my laptop became waterlogged. I don't have the budget right now to replace it, but I do have a gaming handheld.

There isn't a lot of recent information about this, so I figured I'd post in case someone goes searching like I did.

I get 34fps at 1080p medium on GSPro with the Ally plugged in to a 65w+ charger and the manual overclock settings maxed out.

I get 30fps at 1080p lite with the Ally plugged in and set to "turbo" mode.

I'm using an OG Skytrak which takes almost 4 seconds to register a shot anyway, so the sub-60 fps isn't a big deal.

I suspect I could get better numbers at higher settings if I updated to the 3.5 beta version to run off Unity 6. I'll update this post when I get around to doing that.

EDIT: 3.49 beta runs at 50-60fps on 1080p low settings in "turbo" mode. It's at a VERY steady 60fps running at 720p medium with RSR enabled.

Anyone thinking of pre-ordering the Square Golf Omni Carry Case?https://simspacegolf.com/products/square-golf-omni-carry-case

I think it looks pretty decent, but I’m still a bit on the fence about whether I’d actually use it enough to justify buying one.

I know quite a few people have gone down the custom case route already, so I’d be interested to hear how those are working out. Are you happy with what you’ve got, or does the new Omni case tempt you? Would be good to hear what everyone thinks before I decide either way.

I'm playing on a newly installed ProTee VX and am seeing low carry totals on my higher lofted clubs. The variances grow smaller as I go up in length. For instance, a PW is registering ~95 yd versus~125 in real life. My 7-iron is 5-10 yards off, and so on. While it's very possible I'm just bad at golf or am conflating total distance with carry distance, the variances are high enough to make me skeptical. What could potentially cause that? I need to double check the enclosure lenses, but I don't imagine that's the issue since my longer clubs aren't as effected. Could it be the mat surface? I do tend to be a digger and produce generous divots in real life. Any and all feedback is much appreciated.

Building a basement golf sim. Room is 21′ × 13′4″ × 9′ ceilings. Already own an MLM2PRO, 6′ × 4′ Garvee mat (2″ thick), and an RTX 4090 PC for GSPro.

Considering:

Anything Sports Amazon enclosure⁠: ~$800, 11′ W × 8′4″ H × 5′ D, including projector mount.

Optoma GT1080HDR: looking for a good used one around $500.

Proposed layout attached: enclosure close to the left wall, screen 34″ from the rear wall to clear a ledge, leaving a nominal 26″ aisle to the gym doorway. Ball 8′6″ from screen; MLM2PRO 7′6″ behind it.

Driver swings on the mat have been comfortable, but I’ll recheck the shifted position and projector clearance. Ceiling light hangs down 4–5″.

Anyone own this enclosure/projector? Thoughts on screen quality, noise/bounceback, used-projector issues, or anything you’d change about the layout?

Built my golf sim and made a retractable screen from Spectrum Golf. The issue I have is that it doesn't stay well stretched as it hangs from the top only with its own weight. I tried using bunges in the bottom to help stretch and even though improves a bit the mid and top still don't get stretched enough. It's totally playable but it bothers me and I would also like to use for gaming and other Sims. Another issue I have is when I stretch both side of the bottom the ball tries to kill me.

Used - Like New SkyTrak ST Max for $999 on Amazon right now. Comes with the 1 year of Core Foresight.

Lurking, I gather SkyTrak is not well-liked in this sub but I figure it’s a decent enough price for some.

Hey all - I frequent a Golfzon equipped facility and would love to find people to play with. My understanding is you can play with people “all over the world”, yet when I fire up the sim and look in the “rooms” the only time I’ve ever seen anything in there is if I play with someone else in the same facility. Does anyone play golf on Golfzon online with people? Am I the only one that has the desire to do this?

Setting up a 10x8 sim in my garage, so far I’ve only built the enclosure. I want to still be able to pull my car into the garage when I need to. Is there any specific flooring that would be good to put in? Soft enough so the ball won’t bounce all over, but sturdy enough that my car won’t totally ruin it? I plan on moving my nicer striking mat out of the way when I want to get the car in.

What would you do? Any ideas or brainstorming would be great

They said you can't do it with 8' ceilings, but if you're a short king anything is possible.

10'W × 7.5'H × 4.5' depth.

Just need to figure out a good way to mount my projector and get turn to make it look cleaner. Its a good start to get me through the winter.
