I need to mount the projector right above the center garage tracks and I am wondering what people have been doing to mount when they have the exposed rafters like this? I was thinking of mounting a board between rafters on opposite sides of the ceiling to create a flat surface, then attach a mount to that board.

I'm not a regular to this sub so dont roast me if this is already well known, but I found a 10% discount code that works on the Omni.

Enjoy.

Hi folks,

What I’d like to understand is what the Trackman IO does better technologically (and why), than the ProTee VX. I appreciate the cost of the IO is like 2-3x more depending on whether you want golf courses etc, and IO has hefty subscription etc.

I’m really after the what technical things the IO does better than the VX, if anything?

Many thanks!

Hi all! This is the sim I've been using for the last few years (with some upgrades here and there).

Looking for any budget recommendations to make the space look even better.

Does switching to an enclosure help the screen pop even more? What do people recommend to hold their computers?

DIY EMT enclosure with 3 layer Temu screen

Older PC with 2060 GPU

Cheap menards carpet over 1" interlocking tiles.

The mat is seperate from the rest of the floor as I have to move it to allow my wife to park. I switch between an ez tee hybrid and bullseye 3d hitting strip.

I’m looking to replace the putting turf for my sim and looking for options. I originally used the Camry turf with a hitting strip cut it. Worked great for 9 months but it has started to tear in the stance area. I have a 6x4 section of EZ-Tee hybrid that I was planning to cut in but I have realized that it is too unstable to swing on. I love it though for a hitting strip. What would you recommend I replace the Camry turf with? Should I find another stance mat or just replace the entire area with NP45/50 or something similar and cut it my EZ-tee Hybrid? What are best options that can stand up to frequent use in the stance area?

I just got an enclosure and have a 3 mm thick impact screen but it is still too loud like gunshot. Seems like when the ball makes impact with screen the screen slams against the back blackout plastic and that is what makes the loud noise. Any solutions?

I am looking for a company to design and install a custom sim setup with built in impact screen, wall and ceiling padding, flooring, and lighting. I’m in the Midwest and hoping for a reputable local installer but willing to pay travel for high quality install. Below are the companies I’ve been talking to and getting quotes. If you have used any of them can you give feedback on the process, quality of supplies, and quality of install?

I’m building a home golf simulator and considering the 5′ × 8′ Matzilla mat ($299) as my landing/putting surface and an ultimate matzilla as a hitting surface.

The appeal is that they are both 1⅛″ thick, so I could put it directly on my garage floor without buying foam tiles or building up a separate layer of turf. That would give me a simple, modular setup with matching surface heights and no need to install a separate hitting strip.

I understand that Matzilla isn’t designed as a putting green, and I’m not expecting tournament-quality roll. I just want to know whether it’s reasonably consistent for putting during GSPro rounds, or at least
useable.

Thanks!

Currently piecing together my golf simulator and getting ready to ceiling mount my projector. For those who ceiling mounted theirs, how are you connecting to your PC? Are you running an extra-long HDMI cable up the mount, across the ceiling, and down the wall, or using a wireless HDMI transmitter?

The wireless setup seems convenient, but I'm worried about potential lag (and the extra cost). What’s everyone’s experience?

I will be hitting about 9-10' away. Do I need a top piece for my enclosure? Don't see how I'd hit ceiling with balls. Is it more to provide dark area around screen?

I'm going with Metech retractable. Any suggestion for tope and side. I will have about 11x10 screen. Thanks

I just got the Garmin R10 and I’m trying to figure out what balls to use. I know the Titleist RCT’s are the best option but they are pretty pricey. Anyone have any other cheaper options? I saw some folks say to use HVAC tape cut into a 1/4” dot on any other ball and it works just fine. I’ll be using it in the garage and backyard into a net

Anyone know how to get Muni Golf to work with the Protee VX? AI was no help, so I figured I’d see if anyone here knew

Yo!

Need peoples advice here.

I have 10feet wide a little more, and about 13 feet deep of clearance. Height is a little iffy.

Im just trying to get something set up quickly. for the kids and myself and sometimes friends who are over and lets go hang int he garage. The garage is tight as it is sort of please excuse the mess.

I could do the other bay, but al little more annoying and smaller width.

I love the roll up set up that someone else posted here.

I dont want to spend a ton of money.

temu: net set up:

hitting mat. need help wth this. probably just always leave it on the floor and let the car go over

simulator/launch monitor... this is where I need help

rapsodo? now it has angle of attack and club path?

garmin r10?

any others, probably less than 1k. unless y'all know of a deal.

projector, I can get easily.

thanks y'all!

How do I make this work lol I tried everything

Brand New never opened FIBERBUILT player preferred 4x9 hitting mat. No issues, my sim just ended up requiring a different hitting area solution. Local pick up only due to shipping logistics. In Sarasota, FL area. Am willing to drive a bit to meet up. Asking $1250 (with no taxes or shipping that’s about a $450 cut)

I got this email today notifying me that sky-track is having a deal right now. Supposedly you get their best product at a better deal right now.

I haven’t heard great things about sky track. Notably the biggest one being paid subscriptions and big delays in the actual ball displaying on the screen.

Those of you who have sky track, tell me what you like and how it’s been for you. Is it worth losing my spot in line?

Anyone ever tried this strike mat? I got served an ad for it on instagram. It’s supposed to simulate real fairway by sliding and moving with the strike. They call it “breakaway technology.”

I currently have Sig Pro Softy stance mat and strip and am very happy with it, but always curious if there are better options (yes, I know the heights of the stance mat and Eagle Zone would not match).

I've noticed there are some pretty big differences between a full home simulator setup and the newer smaller systems focused mainly on practice and swing feedback.
I'm particularly interested in the AI side of it. PhiGolf, for example, uses camera-based AI swing analysis, so it seems more focused on helping you understand the swing rather than requiring a complete simulator room.
For someone who mainly wants to practice and improve, would you rather have something like that or go all the way with a traditional launch monitor and simulator setup?
Interested in what people think is actually worth the money.

Have been browsing the sub and want to pull the trigger on a set up for the basement. Costco has the country club elite mats and the GoSportsElite net. Does anyone in this sub have those and would recommend? Don’t want to make a quick purchase and then have my joints regret it. I’d probably be practicing 1-2x per week for maybe 40 mins to 1 hr

I have a Square (and a Mevo Gen 2) and with all of the new options, I really don't know if I will keep renewing GSPro. Munigolf works for me. Also, I just got ShotForge and already have Drills Golf. I use the native Square software tons and very happy with it. Infinite Tees is coming and Pureplay. I like the GSPro beta, but don't know what I will do when my renewal comes up.

Any thoughts from folks?

If there is enough interest by those that do not have a 3d printer, I could set up a simple online shop to purchase one.

I’d be happy to print and share with the community directly!
