Bunch of guys and girls drinking heavily with fastballs coming in somewhere between 40-90 mph. What could go wrong.

It's soft toss.

After watching the video, it seems pretty cool. The only problem is I think homerun derby is the only long lasting fun part of that. Unless there is some sort of handicap for distance, it may not be fun for everyone like Top Golf is.

Greatest place to take a date in high school. Show off in the cages, on the putting green, and on the track. Then go win a prize in the arcade.

One big allure of top golf is the outdoor feel, the video looks really confined.. even a bowling ally with added length of the lanes give you the feeling of openness .. this feels very cramped

Isn't TopGolf just a fancy driving range?

Adults are waiting to have kids until their 30s and there is an endless market for "stuff to do" in suburbs/urban areas

A good idea will absolutely print money, like Top Golf. This probably won't catch on but I applaud the effort.

Looks more like they're playing Wii than TopGolf.

I can’t tell if this is what they’re doing but I’d definitely pay to use a hit trax simulator for an hour or so

BTW This is hit trax

If this is really what it is, which it seems to be, then I don't understand the point. Not many are jacking 400 ft HR's from soft toss, much less women and kids.

Dang. Non gamedays require min. 6 people to reserve at $45 a pop! Pfft! Top Golf is cheaper and I can still hit bombs there.
