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.

a wife that goes out shopping?

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

    • Day 133 - Played 9 again. Driver was great, putting was better, but shots inside 100 were awful. 
    • Day 36: 15 balls, same as last few days. Then a little indoor putting.
    • hey guys, sorry about the kind of short notice, but i'm not going to be able to make it to the outing this year....  
    • Had to correct the distance - should have read 5,400 not 5,500  yds. 
    • Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.
