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)

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

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
