    Set up looks great and your presentation is easy to follow. Thank you for figuring this out. In Wisconsin I wouod love a practice room for the long winters to keep my game up. thanks again.

    The way you hang your sheet is amazing (4:13). I've been thinking of building one and I've been having trouble figuring out how to hang the nets. Your idea is genius. Thank You.

    Hey you should add a black sheet behind the white one amd your picture will instantly be much brighter. Problem with a sheet is alot of light from the projecter bleeds through the black will help alot with that! Nice setup keep swinging! If possible blackout curtains used to block sunlight are exactly what your looking for

      Trey Alexander black tarp would make it not only a better picture but a great ball catcher as well.

    I've ordered an Optishot2 and I'm going to build this in my garage seeing as we can't get out and play due to the coronavirus . . . . only problem is a lot of other folk with the same idea and its going to take a month to arrive!

    When the days get shorter you don’t have time after work to play. This will solve that problem. Thanks for the affordable idea. Good job. 👍🏻

    How do you get the projector to project what is on your PC screen? I'm not too tech savvy but there must be another setting or cable. Thanks

    How durable is the swing pad? If you ever hit behind the ball, how likely are you to damage the sensor?

    • @erickramer4580
      @erickramer4580 2 года назад

      Very.. They're somewhat durable but the more you hit it it will effect the readings. Not cheap to replace either. Pretty sure there are better Sims out there for same price

      Not only rude, just plain wrong. 1:30 in he's opening the Optishot box. Nowhere does he mention the mfr or model of projector.

    • @jdub2878
      @jdub2878 3 года назад

      @@jonhawkins5358 He said $50 Walmart projector. So basically a very inexpensive projector.
      If you spend more money you'll get a better projector.

      Skytrak is more expensive but it's the real deal. I understand it doesn't fit everyone's budget but if you can, save for that instead.

  • @erickramer4580
    @erickramer4580 2 года назад

    Why can't you hit driver or real balls?? Plus using a different club instead of driver will not give you the same true distance or ball flight. Every club has different spin rate, loft ,etc

      Mine was also $399...but it was well worth it....i play on mine at least 4 days a week....the club head speed is accurate within plus or minus 2 mph..but great simulator for the money...i played on a 45k simulator in town and honestly i didnt see much difference

      pollard068 can’t be, right? 110 mph club head speed with a hybrid and with that swing? Just no way

    • @brothareece5313
      @brothareece5313 4 года назад +1

      That swing looks a lot slower than 110mph... maybe 85-90 tops. I’m not convinced that the read on your drive was accurate. lol

    • @hammockmonk
      @hammockmonk 3 года назад

      No way. See how it compares to Skytrac: ruclips.net/video/R0CiaPKu4Qg/видео.html

  • @scottbrown2536
    @scottbrown2536 2 года назад

    Great video and thanks for sharing but there is no way you are hitting driver 325+ yds....just no way. Guessing since not actually using your driver, the club head speed is just way off. Hoping the simulation is more accurate than that across all clubs or not worth the money.

  • @bazzaclarky7445
    @bazzaclarky7445 4 года назад +4

    Sorry Mate, but there's a huge accuracy issue for me. There's not a chance you're carrying well over 300 yards with the driver and swinging anywhere near 110mph!

    • @TheChaddavis1996
      @TheChaddavis1996 4 года назад

      Barry Clark absolutely agree. It was over a year ago when I made this and I haven’t come to check in on the post so I may not have mentioned it but I change the settings to allow for me to not have to try and swing a driver but could still play the holes.

    • @jdub2878
      @jdub2878 3 года назад

      He said in another post he changed settings so that he wouldn't have to use a driver. So no that's not actually the correct distance or swing speed. It was done intentionally.

      Skytrak is a much better option. More pricey but it's the real deal and way more cost effective than the real big boy sims.
