There seems to be a lot of talk about simulators and launch monitors to use in the winter for game improvement. Is the p3swing the best for the money? I haveheard about bending shafts over time and accuracy not there. Other people suggest getting a launch monitor because the p3swing doesnt have that capibility to measure spin and launch. I have 2k to spend and am stuck. The vectorpro can do much of this but the p3swing looks to have more fun stuff?

I've only owned the p3proswing for a few months but I can't ever see myself playing simulator golf on it or using anything but the driving range feature. Plus I really (really really) hate hitting off the p3proswing unit itelf and would much prefer to be able to hit directly off a mat.

If it weren't for price, the Vector Pro would be an obvious choice for me over the p3proswing. However, I think the Vector Pro costs like $3000 which is way to much for me to spend right now.

I set up my garage hitting bay with just the p3proswing and some gym flooring that I got from Sports Authority. The gym flooring holds the unit un place perfectly and is way cheaper than a golf mat (which you really don't need since you hit off the p3 itself). The backstop is some tarps I use for camping that are tied to rafters and the floor. I use my work laptop as the pc so my total cost for this setup was around $1000.

maybe you could convince her that you'll be saving a ton of money by not going to the range as often!

1000 dollars is a lot of range time...

The Vector Pro is sweet, but also has a base MSRP of about 3K. Too rich for me!

I like the way the p3 analyzes your swing from behind the ball and through impact to measure angle of attack, club face angle, etc. I was thinking of trying to a a cheap camera that will do ~400 fps and somehow mount it on a rig right above a tee so I can get top down high speed video in real time of what my club head is doing as it hits the ball. Anyone ever see footage like that?

I'm in the process of moving my outdoor net setup into my garage for the winter (basement is too low). Not the best net in the world, full-sized real range mat, and a 2-car garage. This means I'm going to have to set this up in a temporary fashion when I want to hit (with the cars out). Thinking of hanging a few old blankets behind the net or over the back of the net make sure nothing gets wild...anything else I should be concerned with? Only planning to use irons.

You may need something a bit stronger to hang up behind the net besides blankets. When I first installed my setup, I thought that the impact material would sufficiently absorb the balls, but they still travel with enough velocity to strike the wall and damage it (the ball speed coming of my driver is about 170 mph). I ended up nailing a sheet of foam to the wall behind the cage and that took care of any would be damage.

Just change "wife" to "hot chica" and add "for an indoor hitting bay" to the end of that.

      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
