Tom the Golf Nut Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I also have the Flight Scope Mevo set up behind me while using the Optishot. Then you can adjust the Optishot's setting to reflect your actual performance. I built all this on a budget that worked for me at the time. The Flight Scope Mevo I received as a prize at a golf tournament. Using these in combination seems to be pretty good. 1 Quote Driver, TSi1 10* Stiff Flex 3 Wood, TSi1 15* Stiff Flex 5 Wood, SLDR 19* R Flex 7 Wood, F6 22.5* R Flex 939x 5 hybrid Irons, 699 Pro's S Flex (6 - AW) JB Wedge 55* Wedge, CBX 60* Putter, Marksman Fang 35" Link to comment

So the optishot gives you the visual feedback and the mevo gives you more realistic distances, right?

Tom the Golf Nut Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Optishot will give you the face angle ( open, closed , square ) by degrees. Also gives you swing speed. It is not perfect but by using the Mevo I got real values for spin, launch angle, carry distance and such. Then I went back into the Optishot club settings and adjusted the distance by club. So although the optishot is on the low end in simulators it has enough adjustments to make it pretty decent. I enjoy it for a home system and I didn't break the bank. You can piece things together on ebay. 1 Quote Driver, TSi1 10* Stiff Flex 3 Wood, TSi1 15* Stiff Flex 5 Wood, SLDR 19* R Flex 7 Wood, F6 22.5* R Flex 939x 5 hybrid Irons, 699 Pro's S Flex (6 - AW) JB Wedge 55* Wedge, CBX 60* Putter, Marksman Fang 35" Link to comment

If you swing like you are taking a slight divot it feels like you are hitting hard plastic and will break something. You probably won't, but you don't want to get in the habit of picking the ball. I did read about someone cracking the unit a few years ago. I replaced mine with one from Jagmanjoe on ebay I got the xl size which covers the entire unit. It works great and you can put a regular golf tee in it.

scanepa Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 For those interested in a mat I bought it from here: https://rawhidegolfball.com/product/golf-mat/ Pricey but driving range quality and you can shoe the grade. I also purchased the Rukket net which is unbelievable good quality and came with a tri turf mat as well (it is sold out now): https://rukket.com/collections/hitting-nets/products/rukket-haack-golf-net-10x7-bundle-with-tri-turf-hitting-mat Quote Link to comment

I told my wife I was putting together a place to watch movies on a big screen. Then it was hey look what else it can do! I can hit golf balls into it too. It was the dog house after that. Didn't appreciate the bait and switch.

Pandaman Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Here's mine. It's basically a 10x10x10 cage net supported by props and bungees, as I need to put up and take down every time. I had to upgrade the net to this one recently as i skied my driver over the previous one (8x8 pop up type), luckily the neighbours tree got in the way and stopped it, but it made my 'cheeks' clench a bit. I am currently refining the net hanging to narrow it at the back, so my wife can get past more easily. I also got a SkyTrak about a month ago, which makes it so much more worth the time to set up (15 to 20 mins from stored away to starting hitting). 4 Quote Link to comment

MattWillGolf Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I'm liking the Mevo. It is definitely on my wish list. I have a Rukket Haak pop up net with the tri-turf mat and a Rukket pop-up pitch and chip target. They are currently in my basement but I can't hit full shots due to the low ceiling. When the weather warms up in Central NY, its all getting moved outside.

How do you like it as a simulator? Opti spot hates my swing. It likes people who sweep the club more then it's aggressive divoters 1 Quote Link to comment
