Here are a few pics of my indoor hitting bay. I started off by purchasing a golf cage http://www.sportnetting.com/products...kages_169.html The cages on their website have frames that are made of steel tubing, however mine is constructed with pvc pipe which is cheaper and easier to get.

Then I purchased a simulator with video capture http://www.p3proswing.com/ It's the nicest unit that you can buy in this price range (under $1k). The Vector Pro Launch system is $1800 I believe.

I topped things off with a svga projector, sony handicam, 2 microsoft webcams, and a laptop to runeverything.

The software tells you all aspects of your swing including Club Face Angle, Swing Path, Attack Angle, Strike Location/Sweet Spot, Distance, Club Speed, Ball Speed, Swing Tempo, Left or Right of Center, Left or Right of Path, Toe and Heel Height, Penalty

When I'm not busy doing fun things like breaking bones, I spend my winters in the hitting bay. It's been very helpful this year with correcting my swing path and shallowing out my swing plane.

When I was first looking to buy, I saw some setup's in Family Rooms and Living Rooms. Mine is in the garage. Luckily its 5 car so this worked out perfectly for me.

I have seen some setups that also double as a theatre setup.

What does the p3pro use for the impact stuff? how accurate is it? Does it allow you to play actual courses?

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

The p3proswing sells an impact screen as an option, that has 4" on netting around it for $1199. That was too rich for my tastes so I brought the cage that you see in the picture, and made my own impact screen out of shower curtain material; it's cheap, durable, readily available, and makes for a nice display. The software is very accurate and includes an 18 hole championship course called Desert Highlands. The unit is also compatable with Tiger Woods Golf by EA Sports. Several of the packages you can buy include a copy of the game.

Their website said something about reflective tape on the clubs. Is that hard to apply/use on your clubs?

Not really, but I don't have to use it on my irons. I had to tape my Callaway Fusions because the have composite materials on the face that the sensors don't always pick up.

really would like a set up like that just to work on your swing on the cold winter days.

If I hit it right, it's a slice. If I hit it left, it's a hook. If I hit it straight, it's a miracle.

how is it going ? .. Also do you hit right of the system or is it covered. it looks like it would break if taking a full swing with a wedge and hitting down ?

Considering new Woods what you think ?

I've been whacking at it for almost 3 years now and it hasn't broken yet!

      3 Wood Shafts

      By rod7515 · Posted

      Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By rod7515 · Posted

      This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod
