I have had the Swingbox for 6 months and I love it. It doesn't take up much room in my garage and I really feel I get a good practice session in. I also have an Optishot golf simulator and both products have really helped me. I wonder how many other people on here have either or both products.

I have been very very tempted to get the swingbox but have resisted because of the price. If it comes down a little I will likely buy it.

I have been looking at the swingbox as well. Any chance you could do a little unbiased write up about it?

Driver: TBD

Irons: Taylormade MC 3-PW Steel

Wedges: Cleveland CG-15 56° and 60° 

Putter: Ping Karsten with Super Stroke grip

Ball: Callway Hex Chrome

I have had 2 other "traditional nets" over the years and they just took up too much room in our 2 car garage. This one takes up much less space and you can use just one ball if you like. I have a 4 by 5 ft, of carpet under it as well so the ball doesn't roll too far on the hard concrete. Go on you tube to see demos. Sometimes the ball shoots out too fast and I have to chase it but maybe 1 out of 10 does that. Also anything higher than an 8 iron might go over the net but I just stand closer with a short Iron in my hand. I also have an Optishot and these 2 products work seamlessly together. Yes, they are pricey but I'd bet you really like them. Remember you generally get what you pay for!

They currently have a promo code for Fathers' Day. FDSFREE gets you $30 off and free shipping. Figured I'd share for those considering it. Too steep price wise for me but it looks cool.

Pretty sure if I had a swingbox or trackman of any sort, any sort of social gathering would turn into a drunken long-drive contest for the boys while the girls sat inside and talked about the varying shades of their lip gloss.

Sounds pretty awesome.

I want a Swingbox so bad. It looks like a sweet product and would actually save me some jack that I throw down hitting balls at the range. Hoping to pull the trigger on one this year.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
