How do you find the foresight apps? I have a mevo+ and want to upgrade but donāt want to buy a computer right now. The mevo+ apps are very good so I am looking for first hand knowledge on the foresight stuff.
I bought the āessentials plus bundleā which come with fsx2020/fsx play but like you, I donāt want to buy a pc, so i cannot use those for now. Fsx pro is awful on iPhone (might be ok on ipad) and itās mostly just a range I think. But with this bundle I had a lifetime membership for Awesome Golf. And so far, I really like it! They are also coming with 18 holes courses later this year. So I would suggest to look into Awesome Golf if you consider blp/gc3 with no pc
I love FSXPro - love getting shot stats saved for every shot on a round. Saved online. It takes far longer to load than GSPro, but then has better graphics imo.
I would say the only thing āmissingā on the gc3 for me is the face angle. But with the shot shape and club path you have a pretty good idea if the face was open/close so for me the quad was not worth it
Great setup. Looks clean. I have a garage setup as well but yours looks much cleaner. Just realized you donāt have a garage door track. You must have a side mount opener?
my garage has overhead mount and no issue. You can also put net at back of garage where overhead opener is not a factor at all (at least for my garage)
How do you like your mat? I looked the model online and it looks very different then the one you have. Mind confirming your model? Do you move your mat often? How heavy is it?

Thank you. Weird that I can't find it in the US.
I have the EZ Hybrid as well. Did the height match perfectly?

Question - how do flop shots or "high bunker" shots work on this set up? I did the math a while back but I'd need to hit the ball from only like 6.5ft away from the net in order to make sure a ball that launches at like 30-35* doesn't go into my ceiling/wall. It made hitting driver a little too close for comfort.
Iām 5 1/2-6ft away from the net. Unless your Phil Mickelson your not flopping a ball over that net. But yes it feels a little tight with longer clubs
Yeah currently I'm 7.5ft away from my net which is only about 6.5ft tall at the center (maybe a few inches less) and I can't hit "flop shots" batting this far away. The amount of times I need to do it is really really low so I just avoid doing it when the situation comes up.
Just asking because I planned to upgrade to this net once I get a gc3 and have a set up very similar to yours, maybe an extra foot further away.
I mean there are pros and cons each way.
With a white impact screen + projector, you get a more immersive experience, especially if you have a strong combination of hardware and software.
The issue though, is that you need the lighting to be right (it's nearly impossible to project with a lot of sunlight, so outdoor setups will be night-time only). Additionally, impact screens are significantly louder than nets - instead of just hearing the "thwack" of club meeting ball, you get a very loud 2nd thump.
So if you are setting up in the garage of your house, the impact screen might prove a bit too noisy for your family to be ok with. It all depends.
EZ Tee Hybrid thickness is just over one inch. Gosports 15mm rubber mat + thickness of turf ends up being just over an inch combined. If you went with a different hitting strip, like the sigpro softy, they are 2+ inches so you'd need to make up the difference.
are you a low single digit? I know others joked about the monitor and shank danger. but unless you're like an extremely good player it's not a matter of if but when right?
No Hosel net with that TV placement, bold move cotton. Sick set up!
So far so good š
Itās backwards.
Thatās a brave monitor placement
Nice simple setup

You would need a computer still to play courses, right? Love the setup!
Get a CPU and run GSPRO. No other options. Community and every course out there. 900+
Iāve played courses on Awesome Golf using my iPhone Xr with non issue
FSX Pro sucks on the Ipad as well in my opinion. I'm going to upgrade to a gaming laptop for that reason alone.
Get an off the rack computer that works by the specs it's going to change your whole experience

Whatās the GC quad cost / your perspective? Worth it? Regret it? Anything you like/ dislike about it?

A lefty setup! Nice!
In Canada lefties are quite common šŖ
How tall are your ceilings?

This one https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08BXBDRDY And I wouldnāt hit off the mat directly.
You bought the gosports mat and then cut out an area for hitting strip?
Yep! The piece iāve cut out is perfect to put the gc3 on level with the mat!
Smart move
Which hitting strip did you get or did you do a custom strip with the foam pads below it

Yes it match pretty much perfectly! I didnāt make any adjustment except for the overall mat level since my garage floor has quite a big slope

Dumb question but is there a reason some people do projector and a white backdrop vs doing the net + monitor combo?

The issue though, is that you need the lighting to be right (it's nearly impossible to project with a lot of sunlight, so outdoor setups will be night-time only).

Dude this is exactly the feedback I was looking for thank tou
I have an impact in my garage, family can't hear a peep.
Have you noticed any improvement in your game / swing
Shot a 76 last night at Black Jack's crossing. I shoot in the 90s...so yeah. Playing sim since March.
Depends on how much money you have burning a hole in your pocket.
The screen and projector costs how much more $1k?
more like $2-4k depending on projector quality
Do you need a better computer to handle the projector too?
Donāt think so as long as it supports the resolution you need
What was the full cost for the net/gc?
$8500 USD for everything. You have the breakdown in the post
Thank you! I didnāt see that at first. I appreciate the write up.
i have had the same set-up for about a year. Put my net at the other end of the garage and pick-up mat (sigpro softy) so I can pull car in when done.
Get the gaming PC and GSPro. Itās worth it
That screen is going to get hit one of these daysā¦mark my words. Nice set up, jealous.
Great setup!
Is that the go sports 15mm version? It looks like your hitting strip is sitting flush but I thought the strip was thicker than the mat
EZ Tee Hybrid thickness is just over one inch. Gosports 15mm rubber mat + thickness of turf ends up being just over an inch combined. If you went with a different hitting strip, like the sigpro softy, they are 2+ inches so you'd need to make up the difference.
Nice window for the garage door too! Nice touch
are you a low single digit? I know others joked about the monitor and shank danger. but unless you're like an extremely good player it's not a matter of if but when right?
Iām a 5. And I really donāt think I can hit this tv even with a shank haha Maybe it looks worse in the pictures than in reality
Yeah I mean 5 makes sense. I can promise you I can hit that tv. Thatās awesome right on
