What turf choice did you go with for the replacement on optishot the Matzilla or the T line turf? And did you go with the XL or just normal? Thanks for this video it is a huge help
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
Going to come back in 10 years and build this on the fking moon. Hopefully I can account for the gravity difference or else I’ll have 500 yard drives with a PW
Dude... God bless you! Been wanting to build a simulator for a while. This is the exact video I've been needing. Especially the info about replacing the hitting surface that comes with the Optishot. Thanks a million and consider me subscribed!
Great video 👌 cutting carpet is so much easier when using a curved Stanley blade though, a normal blade dulls too quickly and you end up hacking at the carpet.
My man thank you so much!! I’ve been toying with the idea of building something like this for sometime and you made it look pretty simple. Thank you for your tutorial!!
I know it's a step up in price but I personally think Skytrak is the better way to go if you are serious about golf improvement. it is a real launch monitor and can be used in small spaces as well. Optishot is ultimately a glorified video game. I have a vid on my sim setup if you are interested.
Working on my optishot set up today. Cool video. Definitely going to build a similar stance pad. I just got my Arsene golf tracking number for the upgrade turf!
Just ordered an Optishot but the Arsene website said he's not taking new orders for a bit because he's too busy. Do you have any recommendations for a platform. I like the idea in the video but was worried it wouldn't be durable enough if someone (mostly me) completely missed the optishot pad and drove the clubhead into the platform itself. I feel like it would rip right through that turf he used.
Just wanted you to know that I used your plan to make my hitting platform as I just got a used OptiShot2 with the JagManJoe turf. It came out great! Thanks so much for sharing your ideas!
I like this alot, very close to our setup at home. We have our hitting mat for Right/Left players. I am going to re-do my screen as you did yours with the bugies and 2 sided tape. great job.
I built a similar set up around 12 years ago. I had the Golf Simulator of America ( from Naples Florida) system and I used it as a portable set up to fit in my car and took it around hotels golf clubs and corporate days etc as a business. I had a lot of fun doing that for a few years. P.S. I also used foam balls for safety reasons. PPS. What's with the bagpipes. I live in Scotland near Carnoustie
One way to save a lot of money is to use a computer with a large flat screen monitor instead of the projector. The monitor would show the shot results. Obviously it wouldn't be on the wall where you are aiming when you line up. It would be in front of you - where you are facing towards the side wall - sideways from where the the ball goes. We had a set up like that with FlightScope software and sensor when I worked for a Golf Digest Top 100 rated custom club fitter. We had a small target on the netting. Also, netting is a lot less expensive than the projection screen. It worked well.
amazing! I have a pretty good epson 1080p projector and a serviceable Mac Mini that have been collecting dust. I've been thinking about doing something cool with them. I think I just found it! Now I'll have to spend the next few weekends cleaning out and making room in my garage...
Step 1. How to build a big garage!! I would love this set up for winter here in Canada. But first, need my step one. Might have to fill in the inground and make it into a driving range/golf oasis. :OP
I think you should give a try to R-Motion golf simulator which is around same price with optishot and much more accurate and is able to give attack angle spinrate and etc. You clip the tiny wireless sensor to your club and you’re good to go. That is if you are looking for the best budget setup ;)
Great setup. My only thing is: simulators are events, not actual golf. I would go the full 9s on tech that gives me swing speed, ball speed etc. Work on distance (information) in the offseason. This setup is more for entertaining/activity.
Just wondering what happens when a left handed shot comes over to play? Making that stance pad might be better if it were a little bigger and the optishot was in the middle. Food for thought.
Yeah also the “you don’t really hit the ball off your back foot” comment is false. I’d make the pad huge for both left handlers and so you could play the ball off your back foot for the lower chip shots.
Please pleas please make a video of a version of this for baseball off a tee. I have done some research into and would gladly share it with you to get you started.
That's great, and I actually had a P3Pro simulator in the past. I paid 2k for it, and only used it a handful of times because it wasn't that accurate. The optishot is even worse. But, your setup is awesome. I would rather invest in a decent launch monitor with a net.
I totally agree. I know it's a step up in price but I personally think Skytrak is the way to go. it is a real launch monitor and can be used in small spaces as well. Optishot is ultimately a glorified video game. I have a vid on my sim setup if you are interested.
Awesome video and will definitely be building this soon!!! One question, if using foam balls, can you use a motorized projector screen? Wondering what kind of tweaking would be needed to make it work…. Appreciate replies with any ideas 🙂. Thanks!!!
Dude, nice job but I'm assuming you only have right handed golfer friends. Should have made the "golf mat" 4×8 and put the sensor in the middle. Just saying.
Remember that some studs aren't always 16 on center, some houses are 24 on center. Also, you could make an setup that you can move around and store with pvc pipe.
Very impressive 👏 I really enjoy watching your video special this one because I have been planning to purchase a simulator but really expensive. Now, I can do it myself with the help of my Son. How big is the actual projector? Do you think the 7 1/2 feet height will fit? Let me know pls. Thanks
I have already built my platform and am waiting on my sensor to arrive. Can you tell me the dimensions of the hole you cut to drop the sensor into the pad? Also ordered the pad you suggested from Arsene. Thanks for the info. Great video!

How many lumens is your projector
What suggestions would you make regarding your platform (Stance Pad) if it needs to be for both left and right handed hitters?
,🔕🚕🚕😷😑🥝
What turf choice did you go with for the replacement on optishot the Matzilla or the T line turf? And did you go with the XL or just normal? Thanks for this video it is a huge help
That ductless AC unit would be a goner after day one for me.
Same hahaha
He uses foam balls…I really think people comment and don’t watch the video

Step 1: Have a high enough ceiling
haha yeah a mate of mine just didn't understand/believe me that I can't swing a club inside my house.
Step 1: nope
Lol right! No one but Rogue has that high of a ceiling.
Yea :( I think I’m dead in the water cuz I have 9 foot ceilings.
Isn’t 9’ enough?
Gonna come back to this video in a couple years when I have the space for this kind of project!

Optishot is not an accurate learning or practice tool. It’s a game
yes, I caught the subtle Officespace reference at about 15:35 LOL great vid
Great "Low Profile, Low Space Impact" design. Gonna copy it.
Thanks
Thanks Bradley and good luck!

Great video. Just a thought if you trowel the glue,spread it out the pad won't move. You might run into the pad starting to buckle under the turf.
Yea that probably would have been a little better way to do it. I guess I was just to eager to get it done
My friends would hit a lot of stuff in that room but it looks clean.

The stapler comment was super funny😂
Be cool to take the sensors and incorporate into the Country Club Elite mat. Great job and video!
Lol, say goodbye to that mini split😂
Awesome project! Next time we get together... TOP GOLF GAME ON!
I've all the sudden become interested in golf.... :) Great video
Man.... I am jealous! I love me some golf! Really enjoyed today's project!
Thanks man!
You're going to kill that mini-split. lol
Very Professional Done. Great Job!!
No chipping signs are a must lol
Cool setup. Should have left 6" under the minisplit to be able to service it though.

Nice “Office Space” reference lol
We're building this today. Thanks for the idea and instructions!
Very cool. It looks like it would be a blast. Great job.
Thank you!

did the optishot setup work with mac
Step 1. How to build a big garage!! I would love this set up for winter here in Canada. But first, need my step one. Might have to fill in the inground and make it into a driving range/golf oasis. :OP
Amazing video pal! Really enjoyed the thorough explanations.
Very cool video. Didn't know you could build an affordable at home simulator. $1500 all in is not bad at all.
Good luck servicing that Minisplit AC unit
My man, just finished this wish I could send a pic! You rock
Anything you would change or do different. I'm going to build one soon
@@davidartrip6732 it mainly goes down to ceiling height!
great set up to practice your stinger shots.
R.I.P heater
been wanting to do something like this when i buy a house. thanks for the idea, looks like it will work out great
should of centered it so if you have a lefty comer over they can hit too
nobody wants to be friends with a lefty
So we got that goin for us... Which is nice!!! :)

No Left-handed friends? Great video.
Bro, that was so cool. What an amazing video. Thanks for sharing!
Optishot should give you a vision
That windows days are numbered
Awesome video, unfortunately I don't have room for it.
As a lefty this pains me. But great set up!
Just flip the pad around
@@joejohnson273 Won't work, the sensor is towards the front. You'd need to build the pad deeper and center the sensor more for that to work.
Great setup.
My only thing is: simulators are events, not actual golf. I would go the full 9s on tech that gives me swing speed, ball speed etc.
Work on distance (information) in the offseason. This setup is more for entertaining/activity.
Your talking about a launch monitor. 10-15K just for the monitor, then whatever you spend on the mat, screen ect.
Man bro. Great vid. I need to assemble one of those asap.
Lol, found out the hard way…sand wedge in the ceiling!
Good idea. You and your friends must be really great ball strikers to not have anything to stop a mishit from going through the wall/ceiling. lol
No wayyy that window to the left is still in tact
wow great job man!
The Office Space reference! Hahahaha. "My stapler."
This is awesome, but you must not have any left-handed friends. What would you suggest to accommodate both right and left-handed users?
I do. I would suggest building another platform that could go on the side where a lefty would stand
so cool, great job bro
Thanks!!
Am I the only one that thinks that staining the wood and leaving it the way it was would look awesome?
Great video. I didn't catch what room of your house this is, garage? Really high ceilings
Just wondering what happens when a left handed shot comes over to play?
Making that stance pad might be better if it were a little bigger and the optishot was in the middle. Food for thought.
Yeah also the “you don’t really hit the ball off your back foot” comment is false. I’d make the pad huge for both left handlers and so you could play the ball off your back foot for the lower chip shots.
Did anyone catch the Office Space reference when he mentioned using a stapler? ;-)
hola la verdad imprecionante video lo disfrute bastante necesito el siguiente grabación me despido les envio besitos muchas gracias
The only thing I can't see working is pitch shots that elevate quickly.
Liked, subbed, and commented. RUclips algorithm, do your thing!
R.I.P. to the A.C. unit above the screen lol.
8:35 No matter who you are or how handy you are, you will always try to plug the usb connector upside down the first time.
Awesome video!!!
Please pleas please make a video of a version of this for baseball off a tee. I have done some research into and would gladly share it with you to get you started.
Looks great amazing room but for that much ,wouldn’t a skytrak be better than the opti shot? Great video though.
Ant yes but a skytrak is $2,000 and an optishot is $350
And a SkyTrak won't work with foam balls
wished the local public course had several to practice on. i could see an upturn in daily business if they did.
Great video! Definitely want to build something like this. Hope none of your buddies are lefties 😂
You’re a beauty bud. Can you send me a link for that magnetic stud finder? I’ve never seen that and it’s that’s so simple.
Nothing like sending a golf ball through the wall to let the wife know you're home lol
This is awesome
Neat idea just nowhere my club doesn't hit the ceiling
This was like watching an airplane build video - without actually watching it fly. Ouch.
you watched it fly even before you saw it built...
Awesome video and setup! Too bad if you have any lefty mates though..
Seems VERY close to the wall - don’t you need at least 12in of space? Otherwise this looks amazing!
Awesome job man.. i do feel bad for ur left handed buddies haha
Us lefties get no love!!
That's great, and I actually had a P3Pro simulator in the past. I paid 2k for it, and only used it a handful of times because it wasn't that accurate. The optishot is even worse. But, your setup is awesome. I would rather invest in a decent launch monitor with a net.

Great video but one question. How will you putt?
Clever. Thanks!
Could’ve sworn I saw this guy on shameless 😂 nice vid!
this is awesome, dang.
Awesome video and will definitely be building this soon!!! One question, if using foam balls, can you use a motorized projector screen? Wondering what kind of tweaking would be needed to make it work…. Appreciate replies with any ideas 🙂. Thanks!!!
anyone else worried about the air conditioning right above the screen lol
Way cool!
Thanks!
Say goodbye to your mini split.
Have u thought about selling this finished product to paying customers... Awesome af
Dude, nice job but I'm assuming you only have right handed golfer friends. Should have made the "golf mat" 4×8 and put the sensor in the middle. Just saying.
aloo la verdad increible video lo disfrute aguardo por el proximo material los dejo les mando besitos gracias

What movie projector did you purchase? Your link no longer works for the specific model you are using.
Thanks
All fun and games until my wicked slice makes an appearance and turns the room into a warzone
Damn I was hitting balls at drywall
I rather go to a driving range inside makes me feel like somthing holding me back as far as a full swing i don't know must just be me
Very impressive 👏
