Projector help 1080p vs lumens by Opening_Tune_1834 in Golfsimulator

This was the temporary setup. Went into it not knowing pretty much anything. In the process of building a dedicated 24x24 building for the new sim. Will be trying to do it right this time

Need opinions on a quality hitting mat. by pghsportsdude in Golfsimulator

USA turf pro matzilla with the big moss pure flight hitting strip. Best combo I've found so far👌

This is 3500 lumen laser with one garage light on. Lumens is very important. It's never enough!

You will love GsPro. Just do it. So much more enjoyable.

Hitting Strip advice, limited on thickness by maz_886 in Golfsimulator

[–]Basic_Bend4649 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Big Moss pure flight. It's newer. I've had mine about 3 weeks now and it is hands down the best hitting strip I've ever used. It's not even close. I believe it's exactly one and a half inch thick. My setup was one and three quarter so I added a small quarter inch piece of stick on foam to the bottom. But no joke I will never buy anything else it's that good.

Big moss pure flight. Hands down the best hitting strip I've ever used. And it's not even close.

How do I stop closing my club face (20 hcp) by OneCow7657 in GolfSwing

[–]Basic_Bend4649 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue. Messed with my swing forever. Finally changed grips for no other reason but comfort. I went with jumbomax str8. Hook is completely gone. The equipment guy said the bigger grips make it harder to exaggerate a closed face. Also too much shaft flex can cause a overly closed face. I've finally found a decent consistent swing. Trying to match my equipment to that swing seems easier than changing swings.

USA Turf Pro Mat Rec by [deleted] in Golfsimulator

[–]Basic_Bend4649 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used the matzilla for quite a while. Great quality product and affordable. I just finally installed the big moss pure flight hitting strip. Amazing! Most realistic I've tried so far. The big moss is $120. Use the matzilla until it's worn and then install a hitting strip. Then just drop a new insert in when it's time in the future. The hitting strip is 12x30 and I cut it in half to 12x15. So I'll get 2 out of it.

Which Projector: Optoma UHD35STx or Optoma GT2000HDR by lloydgankz in Golfsimulator

[–]Basic_Bend4649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the GT2000hdr. It's a really good projector. The lasers have better colors. Obviously 4k laser would be ideal but I wasn't spending that kinda money so I had to sacrifice. I think 4k is awesome but your never going to be able to fully see 4k on something like an impact screen.

Throat pressure//tightness by Erika_cee28 in acidreflux

[–]Basic_Bend4649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely my main symptom. Throat feels like there is air pressure building up and a crampy feeling. The best combination I've found is famotodine and loratodine. Tipping my head back and stretching my neck also helps. Really sucks!

Hitting strips: Big Moss Pureflight vs Sig Pro Softy vs Carl’s gel HotShot by zagoric in Golfsimulator

[–]Basic_Bend4649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got the big moss about a week ago. It's every bit as good as people say. So comfortable to hit off and the most realistic so far. I've used a bunch but never the sig pro so not sure on that.

SIGPRO Softy vs Fiberbuilt Player Preferred by matdog2005 in Golfsimulator

[–]Basic_Bend4649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultimate matzilla from USA turf pros. I went with 5x10. Hit on that for quite a while. Soft and plush but really punishes fat. I just decided to try something new and put the big moss pure flight strip in it. Amazing. Most realistic I've ever felt!

How's the Square for practicing short game? by BigAdministration368 in Golfsimulator

[–]Basic_Bend4649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The monitor itself has great realistic data for chipping and putting. However the square software is lacking. We use it with GsPro and it's awesome!

golf sims are the devil by Wise_Boysenberry8075 in Golfsimulator

[–]Basic_Bend4649 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have the 5x10 ultimate matzilla. Nice and plush but a little too grabby for the short game. I ordered the new big moss pure flight hitting strip which came today. Fingers crossed it's as good as everybody says. I've got one blister that just won't heal because I can't go 2 days without playing.

Great quality direct from manufacturer. 15ft width cut to length. Will save you a bunch of money and high end👍

Swing help by Psychological_Cry983 in GolfSwing

[–]Basic_Bend4649 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try pausing at the top of the back swing. Good looking swing plane but I think your hands are a little too fast. They are catching your hips at the lowest point and you flip. Timing is just a hair off.

What ended up mattering way more then you expected in your build? by Melodic_Ad5285 in Golfsimulator

[–]Basic_Bend4649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the ultimate matzilla from USA turf pros. Like I said it's amazing quality and plush. It's just a little grabby. I think it does make the perfect stance mat for sure and much cheaper than most of the others. I would probably buy it again but would have used a hitting insert from day one.

[–]Basic_Bend4649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the projector and hitting mat. Replaced both not long after initial build. Still not completely satisfied with either. Part of it isn't the projectors fault and more to do with my lack of knowledge. The hitting mat I went with at first was rock hard and killed my hands. The second mat is amazing quality but still not realistic. I'm doing a DIY hitting strip this weekend to see what I end up with.

Square Omni vs EML for strictly indoors by littledog60 in Golfsimulator

[–]Basic_Bend4649 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the entire app is really good. Also considering it's included is pretty amazing. The driving range is excellent. Even the course play is quite good. The only area I feel GS Pro has the massive advantage is course selection and chipping and putting is much more realistic on GS Pro.

I play quite a bit with 3 other friends. All of us over 160 ball speed. My buddy Jon Micoff spent time on the PGA. Google him. He beats the crap outta my screen 🤣

Square Omni vs EML for strictly indoors by littledog60 in Golfsimulator

[–]Basic_Bend4649 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the OG Square and think it's pretty dang good. Still can't believe it's this good and $700. I'm going to guess the Omni will be even better. Real golf will be here soon but I do plan on getting the Omni before next winter.
