When I win the lottery…!
This is my dream one day. Once I knock down the kids rotting play set and install a Daddy shed.
I'm booked to give that set-up another workout on Thursday with Lewis – It's a brilliant facility.
So how much was your complete set-up if you don’t mind me asking,looks the business 👍
That looks like a great setup👍👍👍👍
Too much talking, get on with the video
Really liked this v-log, neither the space or budget but loved the ideas
How much is the projector? Thats an important bit to leave out
I’m right at the start of my golf sim / gym garage project Andy so great timing. I’ve been in touch and Jack has agreed to arrange demos on my visit. Just going to get the patio door fitted to the garage and then I’m arranging a visit. Will share pics of project as it goes. As always, great content, stay safe and I’m sure we’ll get a round in sometime 💥🏌️♂️👍
Not sure you can still call yourself the average golfer, who has a massive space hanging around and 20k to do it. Think you are becoming slightly detached form the audience that you think you appeal to, use to love your videos but now beginning to move away from the audience, bit sad really
Go to my local indoor golf dome for sim play, for home use not for me probably for the rich and famous. Average golfers don't use that crap.
Did mine with a Skytrak, Dell tower, wide throw projector, 3mx3m enclosure and Augusta Hitting mat. Finished it off with some ‘fake grass’ from Bunnings and an old sound bar that I had lying around. Put it in the back 6m of my garage (next to the beer fridge) for all up 8k Oz dollars. Way cheaper than I thought and certainly if you have the space within the realms of the ‘committed average golfer’
Got the space, but not the budget!
My wife is not going to be happy about my next purchase!🤑🤑
I am using a GC3 Sim in a box set up at home. I love it for practice and play. Tons of great data.
Great video Andy
Did mine with a gc Quad, sim in a box set up off Foresight. Think realistically its at £30k, but I have club data etc. Probably OTT as I could of halved that price and probably still benefitted massively, but for sure its helped my game no end. I’ve been playing for 13 months now having never picked a club up and my game has come on rapidly, was 6 over through front nine the other day but 14 over at the back so bit of consistency missing 😂 But the sim and cameras has undoubtably brought me on much faster, and Im a ocd type person where I like to go balls deep into everything I do 😂
What is the specifications of the projector you would need? I already have a projector but not sure if it has the correct resolution and out put required. I am looking at the GC3 setup.
Nice video to promote Golfbays Andy. I have been following you for a few years now but personally l don't think this is for the Average Golfer
The company I work for owns Foresight now. Hopefully I'll get one soon
Can't help wondering where golf is heading with all this technology crap, who really needs it. I've played many years and I know if I've hit it out of the heel, toe or centre of the club. I can see if it's gone straight, left or right wether it's high or low. I know my distances for each club and roughly what to factor in for wind etc. Grab a Sunday bag and a couple of clubs and get out and play, hit it find it and hit it again. Golf on the common, drink from the source and just enjoy it you do t need all this crap and expense.
Do you think a launch monitor is worth buying right now? should people wait for the price to come down?
You will need a good gaming PC and a good budget for software. Save yourself a huge amount if you choose GSPro where the courses are free and being added weekly as opposed to several hundred pounds per course with the launch monitor manufacturers. Screens are around £600 but Amazon photographic backdrop cloth is £30 and mine last at least 6 months. Biggest expense is the launch monitor. The Sim build can be done cheaply as a DIY project with backdrop cloth or black curtains and carpet to build the enclosure with adequate protection
Hi, another great video. Have limited space inside an old barn. Purchased from Golf Bays , about three years ago , simbox enclosure, golf mat and SkyTrak ( due to limited space) . Use iPad to view shots etc. No computer or projector.
Hi , forgot to ask about what type of projector, computer you are using Thanks Alan
May have to call you in to get the professional touch! Looks awesome mate
Bushnell has a good unit at around $3000.
This video inspired me to pull the trigger on my home simulator. I ordered a quadpro screen from golfbaysuk and couldn't be happier!!!!
Waste of time commercial
Speaks volumes that their store runs foresight 😂 I’m gonna save I guess
I have a GCQuad, a beamer, a screen, a mat, balls, tees and clubs…. but I don‘t have a room thats high enough 😭😭😭
Great video mate, thanks for showing the various options for different budgets, great content
What is your golf mat? That does not look like the typical Fiberbuilt or Swingturf I am used to seeing
first I was impressed by the quality of the projection… but finally you can see on the last frames of the video that it is just fake!!! haha….. there you can see a badly mounted textil for the projection… and for the video they the overlayed the area with an image of the game… for an bright projection like this in a nearly bright room you need 10K or more for a beamer with enough power… it looked to perfect… so its a bit sad that you don't show real situation/simulation…but its fine to understand the overall structure…
What actual equipment did you get for yours? The projector and software looks 👌
How do people have a high enough ceiling to even think about it. Yeah in my living room. Good luck with that.
what size room do I need for this?
I’d love to have a golf sim at home. So, how much did your set up cost in total and can you translate that to U. S. Dollars? Painting and acoustic panels not included. Just for the equipment.
The way you said Garage made me stop watching this video. Lol
This is all great but how any people have ceilings high enough to swing a driver without fear of denting the ceiling? I'm not even talking about myself, I'm 6'5", but even someone 5'10" or so. Don't you need over 10'?
Do you also help companies in USA?
whats the solution for high pitch shots? The bar seems like it's ready to bounce them right back at you
Great video. What are the dimensions (L x W x H) of your indoor hitting area? Thanks!
Glad I saw the screen overlay flicker at the end frame of this video, revealing that it's not that crisp of a projection, after all. Was starting to get jealous.
Garmin + monitor and if you can build your own box and buy fake grass.
A major key to deciding on the right launch monitor is if you're left handed and play with others that are right handed. If you have a Quad or any other side positioned unit you have to move it every time the next player of opposite hand has a turn. Clearly a no go in practical terms. The Mevo+ is the best option for this as it is positioned behind you. Which does require more space as it must be approx 8ft or more behind. But it also does one critical thing the Garmin does not: it provides a video of every swing so you can review what's actually happening with your swing. This is essential for me as I don't just wanna stare at data all day I want to see my swing and match the good ones with the numbers and accelerate the speed you improve your swing.
Where are all these people getting properties and space with this high of a ceiling.
I’m 6’5”, and I’d need probably 12’ ceilings.
