So my wife and I may be building a new house soon and I am thinking about including a multipurpose room that would be a media room that could also be used as a golf simulator. Initially, I was looking at the cheaper simulators (~$500) but they are not accurate so they would be just "for fun". Then when I started looking at the next level of simulators I quickly accelerated to ~$1k for the P3Pro and then $6k for the Protee and then the Foresight Sports GC2 which if you get everything you need is probably $15k...beyond that you could get to $60k+ and thats just outrageous and not even in the realm of possibility for me.
Having never tested ANY of these simulators, I was hoping someone here could chime in. I would like to find a simulator that is helpful in understanding/improving my swing and one that is also fun to use for game play. Anyone have experience with any of these? I am open to spending decent money for the right product, but when I read about this stuff online I feel like its all marketing pitch. For instance, I go to this site Ottawa golf where they have a golf simulator forum and a few of the posters there really talk up the Protee. So I go to the protee forums and here are those guys posting all the time over there, one of them as a moderator. So its hard to take what they say as completely genuine... Then I watch some videos on youtube posted by the site owner for par2pro.com. I generally like his website and learned a lot from it, but in one of his demos he was comparing the GC2 to some other simulator and he was commenting on the accuracy of the two yet they had some pretty different readings. Made me wonder how unbiased he really was.
Anyone have any suggestions or feedback?
