Not enough info to answer that. Is you budget $1000, $5000, $10,000, More?

Here's just one review site ... LINK

No Budget really.

Just want something nice that is realistic. Don't mind spending money if it's worth it.

Best bang for buck if you don’t care much for looks in my opinion is:

1. Sky trak
2. Buy a heavy duty projection screen(can’t remember recommended name of company)
3. Projector installed in ceiling
4. iPad or use iPhone
5. Country club mat with ball holder

We have a trackman - if you have the budget that is 1000% the way to go. I have two young girls 10 and 11 both ranked in the Top 25 in the world wjth USKIDS- and it’s been a game changer for them... the service is first class and they do the install - let me know if you have any questions- I researched all of them...

Thanks gents.

45, what makes the Trackman better than the others (Foresight, Trugolf, etc.)?

Trackman is the gold standard for simulators - it is Doppler radar (actually has two) and is terrific to use outside or inside. They do the complete install for you and provide by far the best most hands on service ongoing in the industry.

TrackMan

They bought Jack Nicklaus’s perfect golf software and use that for their simulator which is stunning... they now even have a Siri like system called “Tracey” where you can choose any club and hit balls then Tracey give you a lesson and the exact drills and numbers to work on - it’s amazing...

You can do “on course” practice as well where you drop a ball 47 yards from the green for example and practice wedges - the near green chipping and actual putting is also greatly improved as well... very realistic

I guess the question is what r u using it for... but for game improvement - there is no other option IMHO - bit it is pricey - depends on your budget - if it’s too much then I would do the foresight all day long but the service and overall produce is nowhere near trackman - it does the job - kind of like an upscale Honda and Trackman would be a top of the line Benz or BMW...

Let me k ow if I can help further :)

No budget, trackman is the answer. 1500 range, skytrak is most popular but I watched a video a while back that had 6-7 different ones. Didn’t realize there were so many. I’ll try to find it.
I’ve been itching to pull the trigger on something but space is hard to by. I have a full gym & a shite ton of tools in my garage. Need to tidy up

But the biggest thing is the mat. My right wrist is getting killed hitting on those mats at SM. And I’m more of a sweeper than most. Hitting off one everyday would destroy it.

If you’re gonna use it mostly outdoors I’d get the Trackman.

Indoors, the GC Quad is what you want.

Flightscope would be a little cheaper than both of those.

Skytrak and Flightscope Mevo+ are significantly less expensive but also have fewer features.

My preference for the Trackman is the level of service and how they completely handle the install etc... my install team even installed speakers and did things way beyond their scope. If there is any issue they fix it on the spot or will send someone out who gets there within 24 hours or less...

I’ve heard the Quad is good too - it’s a matter of how DIY you are - I am not and don’t want to invest the time either... Quad May be the slightest bit more accurate inside but - for an overall experience - for our famiky at least it was trackman - also - the putting system is a game changer - I don’t think the Quad has any putting functionality- Trackman has a complete system just to evaluate and improve putting too...

Tyga, curious as to why you would say GC Quad for indoors over the Trackman?

Trackman’s strength is its ability to track the ball for the entire flight. If you are outdoors it’s the clear cut winner.

GC2 does a better job of measuring spin, especially side spin. Beneficial if you’re hitting into a net indoors and can’t watch the ball fly.

This is how it was explained to me by a top 25 teacher who has both

TXG choose GC over TM because it is more accurate indoors.

I have a TrackMan Simulator in my house. Absolutely love it. Foresight is good, but has a draw bias, terrible software, and a mediocre build for the price point. Where do you live?
