Golf launch pad tour.....

[CrazyXGolfer]

Hey all,
My mate just brought a "Launchpad tour" Golf simulater/launch mointer. I was VERY suprised how accurate the launch mointer softwear is! I tried heaps of different clubs all giving me the resualts i would get on a course. I also shaped the ball and read all the shots as it should!

Has anybody else tried these? What did you think of them? Im thinking of buying one of these now instead of my Vector pro. (just because of the price and how accurate ive found this other launch mointer)

Never heard of it. Just looked it up... I wonder if it's worth the $200.

Hi,

I have the Launchpad Tour and have found it reasonably accurate when using either the tethered ball or by using a real ball hitting into a net. The biggest selling point for me was the fact that it can be used outdoors. I believe that most if not all the other simulators (Optishot, P3Pro etc..) whilst possibly being more accurate, require indoor use under specific lighting conditions. If indoor space to swing a club is an issue as it was for me, then all the more expensive simulators, however accurate they may be, are rendered useless.

One problem I do have is that when using a practice ball rather than than a real ball, the shots do not register correctly when using Tiger Woods '08. I have played about with various setting (Difficulty settings withing LPDR, Golfer Settings, e,g advanced, novice etc.. within Tiger Woods 08) but have not found the correct combination to allow using a practice ball a viable option. The LPDR software seems to register the shots OK but the same shot in Tiger Woods '08 will sometimes match the LPDR software but other times will be way out). I know there may be other options regarding mouse sensitivity that I can set but as yet have not found the answer. If anyone has had any success using a practice ball with Launchpad Tour then please let me know what setting you have used.

Regards
