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!

    • Day 9. Worked on setup and backswing at the gym. Getting pretty frustrated with my hip. May try full swings tomorrow. 
    • Shot of the Week for me was definitely this drive that set up my second birdie of the back 9 yesterday. It’s a longer par 4 but usually the prevailing wind is with you (the slightly longer hole to the right is a par 5 that usually plays into the wind). I don’t usually hit driver on this hole and honestly couldn’t think of the last time I did when I was standing on the tee. Yesterday, the wind was in the opposite direction so I had to hit into a headwind. I decided I’d need the extra length with driver on the tee and absolutely piped it. It was perfectly launched with low spin that just penetrated through the wind. Technically the approach shot was worth more in SG (I hit it inside 4’), but this drive set up the entire hole.

    • Rory and Bryson are two of my favorites for some time.  This was a great watch.  Poor Rory looked gutted and (heat?) exhausted at the end there.  Bryson play US Open golf - Captain Scramble.  Avoid the blowups and accidentally find a birdie on occasion and it goes far,  
    • 2nd shot into a short par 5. I had ~185 left but was just off the fairway to the right with some low tree limbs in front of me. Aimed at the water and hit a punch slice 4 iron that started low under the trees, rose higher as it kept going, cut towards the middle of the green, carried the water and rolled to ~25 feet for an eagle putt. Lipped out the eagle putt but never going to complain about tap in birdies.  It was one of those shots that I've done before and was a perfect yardage gap. I have a punch 4 iron swing that I know goes right at 185, and I can cut the ball much easier than I can draw it, so it was actually a much easier shot for me than it appears to be in the picture. I would have been fine if it would have over cut too, rough isn't very penal here so it would have been an easy chip from short right.  Although to be fair I didn't realize/remember that the water cut in as far into the fairway as it did, I thought it stopped right around the left edge of the green.
