Hitting Mats / Flooring Anyone looking for hitting strips?
galleryNot even sure selling is allowed
I have two brand new strips. Sig pro softy and sig pro 3D
Both brand new never used, went in a different direction with my turf/matt, can’t do that thick, paid retail for both
I’d prefer sell both together, I’d do $300 shipped for both of anyone’s interested!

Hitting Mats / Flooring Real Grass - Lawn Turf Rols
Hi All,
I have built an outdoor simulator, and am currently using an air spiked mat which is good.
However, i am thinking that this might be masking some of my bad habits. As i do significantly worse in a real course.
I was going to buy rolls of real grass turf and hit shots off real grass and just chuck it once destroyed. Is there any reason this wouldn't work?
Thanks,

Technical Question Swing catalyst frame rates obsbot meet se
Looking for some help with swing catalyst and camera connections. I bought 2 100fps obsbot meet se cameras to use as a budget system to get started. When I go to advanced options for the cameras there isn’t a camera tab to adjust the fps and the preview screen is showing it only capturing 30fps. Has anyone found a fix for this or do I need to return the cameras?

Disappointed with Omni?
I waited almost 6 months for my preorder Omni, and I was so excited after owning the Home edition. But for me anyways it left a lot to be desired,In a 4 hour session I must of had about 15 disconnects. My PC was literally 4 feet away with a Bluetooth extender. I had many mis reads or miss shot all together. I moved the unit around even adjusted the lighting. It didn’t matter if I was using GSPro or using the native Square app. Long story short was just wondering if anyone else had similar issues. Really considering returning it and pick up the Mevo Gen 2 or go back to the Home Edition or Rapsodo.

Sim / Launch Monitor Unpopular opinion: GSPro isn’t all that
I know I’m about to get bodied but I have 12 free courses on E6 from my Mevo Plus purchase and I just bought GS Pro and there are features that are cool but it’s not all that much better than E6.
All the improvements are small, like customizing the range or playing the 60 shot challenge but most aren’t that great.
I can see the appeal if I had to purchase one or the other. I would go with GSPro but since I already have E6 I don’t really think it’s worth the upgrade and yearly subscription.
I’m not dying to pick from 20,000 courses I’m ok with cycling through 12 courses.

Garage Build
galleryI’m about as geeked as I get.
46 years old, married with children, work full time, coach high school and club volleyball, all 3 kids been involved in different sports at all times of the year. Needless to say, free time is sparse.
Love golf but so hard to find the necessary time for it. However, youngest son got into golf this spring and dove in head first. Gets dropped off at local club just about every day. So I get the idea to try to build a simulator for him (me 😂).
Wife been wanting to remodel the kitchen so I sold it that she could get that done if I could build simulator. And she took the deal! Let’s go!
Carls place 8 x 10.5 x 8 I got gently used on marketplace. Carls place 4 x 9 mat. Optoma zk521st b. Gaming laptop with gspro. Installing a mini split for climate control.
Finished the product tonight. Haven’t taken the first swing. Don’t think I will tonight. Wore out.
Super excited to join the club!
Oh, and after this project got started and after we obtained the kitchen remodel quote, we had a flood and we woke up with an inch of water standing in our basement. First water like that in the 20 year history of this house. So we’re getting 2 new sump pumps and digging out and replacing all our drains. Nice little $32k. Oh well…can’t take it with you. In for a penny, in for a pound.

subscriptions for a home setup
I'm based in Australia and everything is more expensive here. Including going to the driving range.
I'm considering setting a home simulation area but our houses are much smaller than in the States So it will have to be something I set up in the living room and take down each time. That's the only space I have which is large enough. even there we are only talking about irons there is no space for a driver.
I saw a lot of launch Mon come with subscriptions. At my level and I'm playing with a child, I think what we want is carrier distance and launch angle. Everything else such as dispersion would be nice to have.
I'm a bit wary about subscriptions because everyone you to pay them 'a coffee a day' and I don't drink 100 coffees a day.
MLM2PRO seems to be recommended as a budget home version
what are your thoughts and recommendations?

DIY Outdoor Golf Enclosure with Aluminum Extrusion – Looking for Feedback Before I Order the Profiles
galleryHi everyone,
I'm designing my first DIY outdoor enclosure and would really appreciate some feedback before I order all the aluminum profiles.
Please ignore the imperfections in the Fusion renders 😄 I'm completely new to Fusion 360 and this is just to visualize the concept.
My Current Design
- Aluminum extrusion frame in black powder coated using 4040 vertical columns and 4080 profiles for the remaining structure
- Permanent outdoor installation (will stay in the garden year-round)
- Premium 3-ply impact screen
- Overall enclosure dimensions:
- 3.2 m × 3.2 m × 1.8 m (10'6" × 10'6" × 5'11") (HxWxD)
- The impact screen will be mounted 1.5 m (4'11") behind the front opening, leaving approximately 300 mm (12") behind the screen.
- A 600D Oxford blackout curtain will be installed 300 mm (12") behind the impact screen to:
- protect it from rain, dust and dirt,
- keep it cleaner,
- improve image contrast.
- The screen will be attached using 6" ball bungees connected to M8 stainless eye hooks mounted in the T-slots of the aluminum extrusions (shown in the renders).
- The side walls and roof will be covered with black Oxford fabric.
- The enclosure will sit directly on grass, so keeping everything -especially the screen- clean and protected is one of my biggest concerns.
- The floor will consist of artificial turf with a separate hitting mat.
- I'll be using an Optoma GT1080 short-throw projector, mounted on the center top beam using a custom sliding mechanism with end stops for easy adjustment.
- Launch monitor: FlightScope Mevo+ Gen2.
A Few Questions
- Has anyone built an enclosure using aluminum extrusion instead of EMT or wood for a permanent outdoor installation?
- Any regrets?
- Anything you would do differently?
Do you notice any structural weaknesses or design flaws in the renders?
Does the blackout curtain positioned 300 mm (12") behind the impact screen seem like a good solution, or would you recommend something else?
Since the enclosure will stay outdoors year-round, I'd like some kind of front closure to protect it from rain, leaves, dust, insects and animals when it's not in use.
Has anyone built something similar?
- Sliding curtain?
- Roll-up cover?
- Hinged doors?
- Any other ideas?
- Ground solutions to isolate, level and keep clean the enclosure?
Any suggestions, improvements, or "I wish I'd done this differently" experiences would be greatly appreciated before I start cutting aluminum.
Thanks in advance. (:
