cnosil 22,697 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 How are you defining si,ulator? Are you including projector, net, mat, launch monitor, etc in your budget? How much space do you have? How lifelike do,you want the simulation? Is recurring subscription for courses an issue? Current best options are skytrack and mevo+. Potential good options are R10 and the new Bushnell, but since they haven’t been released they are a bit of an unknown.

rsmallenberg 3 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Two month old thread, but, I'll take a stab at it just because I've been thinking of a similar project. Garmin Approach r10 599.00 Carls Place 8' x 8' x 5' DIY enclosure w/preferred screen 675.00 1" EMT for above 180.00 BenQ TH671ST projector 699.00 Perfect Reaction 4' x 5' hitting mat 235.00 2,388.00 8' x 8' might seem strange but this would occupy 1/2 of a two car garage. Ceilings are about 11' but there's some shelves above where the enclosure would sit that would limit it's max height. Any thoughts? Edited January 13 by rsmallenberg Thoughts about size weren't clear in original.

Tom the Golf Nut 6,299 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Since the OP only had one post joined in August and hasn't visited since later in the same month I'm sure this is dead. At least from his stand point. However still a good topic to discuss. I'm a bargain hunter. I look for ebay auctions to end at off hours. So even though the OP wanted to see the ball data not the bottom of the club I have a fix for that with my system. First consider how much time you are going to spend on the simulator versus actual playing out on a course. For me it is only about 1-1/2 to 2 months. So why would I invest thousands? Remember all this was ebay auction new closing at off hours unless noted. I just set an alarm. Optishot 2 is my sim system $250 Projector $200 off brand but specs were same as BenQ. Projector ceiling mount $15.00 Cage frame PVC pieces from Lowes. $25 Netting from a commercial fish net manufacturer $60 Bungie cords $7.00 Walmart camping section. Canvas painters drop cloth $15 from Lowes This hangs against the net and inside the cage (Deadens impact and bounce back) King size white sheet from Walmart. $10.00 (my simulator screen) Black out material to go on the outside of the cage. $10.00 Lowes weed block fabric. Mevo This is where I can see ball data. I got this for free in a golf tournament. (Value $500) Computer to run the sim. I got this for free as well. My company gives away their old engineering computers when we change out every four years. Just had to purchase a hard drive. $25.00 I currently have a small line going across the screen from I think the graphics card because movies play fine. Who knows but I already have another free computer ready to take it's place. Stance platform, wood frame free. I had a bunch of 2x4's and plywood laying around. Indoor outdoor carpet from Lowes $20.00 Foam gym floor mat for under the carpet on the hitting mat. $15.00 So I was all in at under $750.00 and since I am handy it just took a little time to build the frame and platform. 6 Quote Driver, G400 11* SR Flex 3 Wood, SLDR HL 17* R 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 56* Wedge, CBX 60* Putter, Marksman Fang 35" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the net, then the canvas drop cloth, then the sheet for the projector to send a good image to. The canvas drop cloth is an off white so the image was dull against it. I have a garage door with windows about a foot behind the net. So the net is tight and I would get to much bounce back. The drop cloth fixed it. Best part is if the sheet gets dirty, just toss it in the wash. I used 1" PVC with fittings. I had some of the PVC connectors laying around the work shop. I think I only needed to purchase 3 sticks because I had a couple. 2 Quote Driver, G400 11* SR Flex 3 Wood, SLDR HL 17* R 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 56* Wedge, CBX 60* Putter, Marksman Fang 35" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
