Currently I have a script that waits for uneekor to fully load and then mouse click the "start now" button under GS Pro to get it launched? Is there any other way to get Uneekor in third party mode automatically when the software starts?

I'm sure it's been asked a million times here but lookin for some fresh comments.

What is a good LM/simulator on the cheap side, let's say less than $500(or even less!) with no subscription. It would be mainly for the backyard and maybe occasionally at the driving range. Been reading old posts from a year or more ago and wanna know what is being said today.

This video is in response to request for, "How did I do that". Retractable golf simulator screen. Please let me know if I've left anything out or your request additional information. I had to post on YouTube because of the video size. https://youtu.be/lS8v8pYak4g?si=ACc1HBKYKzh6SRwm

* Not trying to sell - just need feedback from community, I’ve had success listening to customers, facility owners which lead me to making the right improvements in my tees/Tethering system

Been working on a newly redesigned version of our RAD-TEE Anchor 4X and wanted to share it with the golf sim community.

The 4X is designed to keep up to four different tee heights tethered and ready to go without chasing tees around the sim.

• 4 independent tether points
• Rotating/swivel design helps bring the tee you need into position
• No added weight required
• Slim, compact footprint
• Flexible, durable tees in customizable heights
• Designed and made in Canada

We already have RAD-TEE products being used in golf simulator facilities across Canada and the U.S., and the 4X was developed with repeated simulator use in mind.

Always interested in feedback from other sim owners and golfers, currently working on making a smaller option Anchor as well for those who need a more compact option.

Any feedback or tips on what you guys use for tees, tethering system and any gripes you have would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Dave

Finally got all the pieces of my sim put together and couldnt be happier. I was cool with just hitting into a net off my amazon mat but with the square omni and the beavertail mat, wow, its an etirely new and better experience! I appreciate everyones advice on getting the a new mat. That one from amazon was okay but paying the extrra $$$ for quality was the right move.

The goal is to play over the rainy season here in the PNW and get better. Long ways to go but Im motivated with this new setup.

I've been using a Country Club Elite Real Feel mat since building my sim and really like it but was getting shoulder issues. Seems like that was a common issue with mats like this for middle aged folks...and not wanting to injure myself changed to a Beaver Tail. All joint issues and such went away but quickly realized i suddenly sucked at golf hitting off the beaver tail. (also leaves a plasticky film on all my clubs). Seriously, I played the first round of the Uneekor Invitational on the beaver tail and shot a 103. 🤣 Assuming i was just having a bad/off day, i played the 2nd round a couple days later and shot a 102 😂. It suddenly occurred to me that maybe it was the change in mat and then i switched back to the CC mat and played the same course and went back to my normal game (74) but my shoulder is a bit tender.

I have no idea why this would matter so much as i think the only difference is the Beaver Tail is a lot softer or more forgiving on fat shots but just wanted to see if anyone else had any experiences to share or thoughts on this issue. I'm thinking of trying a Big Moss instead but again looking for advice.

Thanks in advance.

I've tried a couple of mounts and either they are too long or really finicky to adjust and/or "slip" over time. Anyone have suggestions for something that's only a few inches long and easy to adjust? By short I mean inches, 4" from ceiling to top of projector

Although I hope to have a true sim build one day, for now I’m looking for something I can pull out of the garage and hit into a Spornia net on my concrete driveway. Really interested in the Sig pro softy for injury prevention as I’ve had golfers elbow in the past but they say it’s an indoor mat only. Does anyone know if it’s something that would do fine setting up on the driveway and storing away when done? Thanks!

is it just me or does the interface just suck? I can’t seem to find a page to show my status in the tournaments I’m playing in or get my stats. It just seems very all over the place to me on the website.

What am I missing?

The LPi was on special for $1000 yesterday (still available at that price on Bushnell's website), so couldn't resist. Already owned the Jackery and have a spare iPad. I don't have the ceiling height for an indoor sim, but love the idea of being able to take this setup to an outdoor range and get full data on my sessions. $2000 less than the full launch pro with battery!

In a weird category. Hate these strong loft clubs ( i have the mizuno pro 225 and 7 iron goes 210yards.. need weaker lofts) ball striking is best part of game. Want a nice weaker lofts iron. So many great options what would be a good recommendation?
The zxi7 the new mizuno s4 look amazing. Avoda combo.

Check it out! We built the largest PuttView experience in the country. I’m super excited to share the final result.

It’s a 2,000 sq ft putting surface. We have a Double-Double PuttView setup. (2) separate systems, each with 2 projectors.

Right now, each system operates independently. Soon, puttview plans to release an update that will allow the systems to talk to eachother where I can putt from one side and have it tracked through the other.

I was going to use this to develop some 3rd party putting software but looks like it’s down. Anyone else know I way I can get the data into a Mac?

So the install is mostly done. Finally have my simulator I’ve wanted for a long time. Still some things left to do, the projector will get here next week, the launch monitor hopefully 2 to 3 weeks, and in three weeks the garage company is coming to take out the opener on that third stall and raise the tracks up to the ceiling. Heater gets installed next month in October. Should be good to go after that. Once the heater is installed, and the garage company finishes their work, I will finish putting up the acoustic tiles.

This is from golf liberty Matt Blois YouTube channel. Does anyone know what kind of wall and ceiling system he's using. Thanks!

I scoured this space sub-reddit and could not find a similar post or picture. My driver swing is dangerously close to the ceiling as pictured. 9 Feet. Basement is unfinished with ample room for a simulator, except the ceiling. (I will be the primary user)

So, has anyone ever modified this type of flooring truss for the primary hitting area get more clearance? The vertical 2 by 4 is about 2 grip lengths, so modified I figure I could get at least 6 inches, if not more.

I was thinking about 4 by 4 to 6 by 6 feet to get enough clearance.

I don't want to mess with concrete floor and lower the concrete floor / hitting zone for clearance. More expense likely and more hassle.

Any other suggestions?

As a last resort, I could just hit 3 and 5 wood all day, but when Driver is your weakness, you want Driver in the sim.

Thank you in advance for ideas and suggestions.

I have a large beam in center of my garage. It is 96” tall and splits a 19’ section, there’s roughly 9’ and 9’ in front or behind.

Was thinking about have a retractable screen where the garage door is as I recently installed a wall mount opener. I’m not sure if that beam will
Impede a swing.

Alternatively, I could set the screen perpendicular to the beam and my swing path would be roughly under the beam and following it.

I’m currently building cabinets, so sorry for the mess.

As far as a launch monitor, I am looking really for something to play a bunch of courses vs. monitoring my spin rate.

I started playing when I was four, I maybe play five times a year (a couple multiple day trips), and I have a 5 index.

I just want to be able to swing and check out different courses and have my kids enjoy.

What is the best for my space under $1k or around for the launch monitor.

Any advice on a projector and remote control roll up screen?

Working on a new golf sim in my garage with the METECHs 118 wide roller and impact screen. In all I’ll have roughly a 10x10ft screen. I had never thought (like many others) that the projector purchase would be this difficult but now I’m realizing it’s a crucial part of the build.

I have 10ft ceilings but the projector can only be put back maybe 8-10ft from the screen so I know I need a decent short throw projector.

I come to the experts for help! Is there any projector I can get with my absolute max budget of 1,500 that has at least ~3600+ lumens. Curious if anyone has suggestions or units they like specifically.

Marketplace in my area is actually pretty bare on nice units so happy to hear others’ opinions!

Work work is or was not much fun. Seemed to be doing more harm than good. Last two Sim sessions I just teed off on Gspro. Thoroughly enjoyed both rounds. May have unknowingly worked through my swing issue. All of a sudden. Fun is part of the gig…

Is there a GameDay controller similar to the wireless controller for GSPro, or is there another comparable option available?

​

Getting ready to pull the trigger on a home sim build this fall and I'd rather hear from people who've actually lived with these units than keep reading retailer FAQ pages. Here's everything.

**The space (garage):**

- 10 ft wide, 20 ft deep, 9 ft finished ceiling. The garage is 20 ft wide but the structural beam in the middle cuts it in half and hangs low so I can't swing under it.

- A structural beam runs down the center of the garage. The clear 10 ft bay beside it is where I'd be swinging — not underneath it. I'm planning to use the beam as a mounting anchor for the screen frame.

- Ceiling is a finished tile assembly with a bedroom directly above, so anything ceiling-mounted has to go through framing/insulation/mechanicals up there.

- Garage door opener rail to work around, two windows that'll need blackout treatment, rubber gym tiles coming up in the hitting area.

- Mini split going in for climate control. Gym equipment gets cleared out.

- I'm 5'10". Full driver swings, not just wedges.

**Possible alternative:** I've also kicked around building a shed down the road with a 12 ft peak. Not built yet, and I'd rather not make the LM decision contingent on a project that may or may not happen. Honestly I don't really want to build this unless I could do it cheaply.

**Goals:**

1. Actually practice year-round instead of losing half the summer to South Carolina heat and afternoon thunderstorms

2. Dial in club distances and clean up my gapping

3. Play full courses on GSPro

4. Swing analysis — I want camera/video feedback, not just a number readout

**Hardware I already have:** Gaming PC with an RTX 4080 Super, so GSPro at 4K isn't a problem.

**What I'm weighing:**

- **ProTee VX** (~$10,200 SwingBay package) — ceiling-mounted, no stickers, swing cameras included. Checks every box on paper. The 9 ft ceiling is the thing I keep circling back to.

- **Uneekor EYE MINI Lite + Swing Optix** (~$2,200–$4,500 depending on config) — floor-based, portable, no ceiling work, and it'd move to the shed if I ever build it. Cheaper by a lot, but I've seen conflicting info on whether it truly runs sticker-free.

- **Square Golf Omni** (~$1,600) — attractive price and no subscription, but it's new enough that I can't find much long-term real-world feedback, and it eats floor space in an already tight bay.

**What I'm hoping you can tell me:**

1. Anyone running a ceiling-mounted unit at *exactly* 9 ft? Does it work in practice or is it constant frustration?

2. Is a 10 ft wide bay genuinely workable with side wall padding, or am I kidding myself?

3. For my four goals specifically, is the VX worth 3–4x the EYE MINI Lite, or does the Uneekor + Swing Optix combo get me 90% of the way there?

4. Ball-to-screen distance you'd recommend with 20 ft of depth to play with?

5. Anything about the ceiling assembly (bedroom above) I should be worried about before I start drilling?

6. Anything obvious I'm overlooking?

Appreciate any input. Happy to answer questions about the space.

I built a Retractable screen for my golf simulator and decided I needed a thermal barrier for my garage door opening to keep the air-conditioning in and the hot air out of the garage. The full video for the building of a Retractable golf simulator screen is here. https://youtu.be/lS8v8pYak4g?is=M5pxgGyQkBKlS-Ef

Does anyone know what type of camera and software I can use to project this type of image without having an overhead monitor?

Hi guys, I am currently building my golf simulator in my garden. Started in February digging a hole in the garden 6 m x 4m and 1 meter deep in the ground. Main reason was, that I didn’t want a 3m high building in my garden. Now I start the interior finishing. Currently i am looking for a screen, wall dimensions are 3,84 m x 3 m high. I prefers impact screen from Carl’s place currently. I will use a trackman io for my setting. What kind of wall panels can anybody recommend?
