Launch Monitors, SkyTrak or Flightscope Mevo+? Review

Over the past few years, many companies have started produce cheaper, more affordable launch monitors. Due to this, golf simulators and studios have become more accessible to the consumer. However, there is one questions that we at GolfBays get asked the most. Which launch monitor is best for me?

Indoor Golf Enclosure Packages for Home 101

Indoor Golf Enclosure Packages for Home 101  by J Cottam on 29/06/2022 So you want to improve your game however live to far from the driving range or just don't have the time in this modern age then you must be thinking or planning on getting a Golf Simulator at home... After scrolling through the never ending pages online advising on how best to achieve this goal we thought we would put together a quick guide on how to put together your very own Golf Sim Enclosure package. No1. Requirements  Spaces is important, you will want a minimum of 2.7m ceiling height however we would recommend 3m as the magic number. Width minimum 2.8m however you will need to understand that taking club path into account you would not be hitting center of the screen. To achieve hitting center of the screen you will need about 4.5m. Depth minimum depending on Launch Monitor of choice you would need 5m.  - 30 cm wall to screen - 2.5m ball to screen  leaves 2m behind the player to swing a driver.   No 2. Enclosure  Once you know your room dimensions you can decide which enclosure would best fit your space - we recommend choosing an enclosure that fits within 5cm tolerance of your room dimensions to give you enough room to assemble.  Simbox - comes in 6 sizes  2.6 x 2.5 x 1.5m 3 x 2.5 x 1.5m 3.6 x 2.5 x 1.5m 4 x 2.5 x 1.5 m 4 x 3 x 3 m Easy sim comes in 2 sizes poles or no poles  2.5 x 2.5 x 1.3m  3.5 x 2.5 x 1.3m  Why no poles ? Shipping long poles aboard can prove expensive so we give you the option to source your own poles locally (this includes the UK). We supply everything else; Screen  Black Fabric Surround  Pole fittings and bungees    Impact Screens  You also have the choice to upgrade your impact screen from the Lite to either; Archery Baffle  Pro Impact Screen  Quad Pro Impact Screen     No. 3 Launch Monitor  We will write another blog on Launch Monitors however our enclosures work brilliantly with the likes of Optishot, Skytrak, Flightscope, Trackman & Garmin R10.   No 4. Hitting mats  Hitting mats are always personal preference however popular mats include; Insert Tee  Standard Hitting mat  Truestrike MK7 Single   No 5. Projectors  Probably the most debated or discussed subject online choosing the right projector can feel like a minefield. Ultimately you need to find a projector that is going to fill the screen image either in a ratio 16:9 or 4:3 from a set distance you have in mind depending on your room whether this be floor or ceiling mounted. We will dive into projectors in more detail in future posts.  Once you have your projector you just need to connect via a HDMI lead to your laptop or Ipad depending on launch monitor requirements.   There are many more extras you can choose for your simulator however this is the bare bones of what is required to play at home. I hope this helps and I will be publishing more content in the near future! Thanks for reading    J

Solid net strong enough for practicing driver and every other club in the bag. Return slope very handy saving you having to collect balls, they roll straight back to your feet.Recommend also buying some heavy duty ground anchors or pegs to secure it if used in garden.

I already had a large gym in my house, however, I wanted to start practicing my golf at home as well as getting fitter. I didn't want a built in option so the simbox enclosure was the perfect solution. It allowed me to place it wherever I wanted in my room which was a bonus as I couldn't have it against a wall. The quality of the simbox is second to none, I went for the Close Knit Baffle screen as I wanted the most durable screen for the amount of practice I do, it is also super quiet which is a bonus. I can't thanks the team at Golfbays enough, all of the guys are super knowledgeable, you can tell they all have golfing backgrounds. I would definitely recommend.

Fantastic quality, easy to install and fast delivery. Could not ask for much more. We also purchased a projector and protective enclosure that are brilliant. Creates a very professional looking set up.

Weather is no longer a problem for me, I can be in my garage and on the 7th at Augusta at the same time!

The box was delivered very quickly including customs clearance, perfect.The SimBox exceeded my expectations, black ball protection very noise-insulating, Impact Screen Pro+ very good for Full HD.Thanks to the video tutorial, it can also be set up alone, but much more relaxed with two people.Simply perfect, highly recommended, thanks to the 6 sizes there is always a place at home, as long as the room height fits.Very convincing qualityIn short: brilliant for the home simulator

Markus K.

Great quality, easy to assemble was hitting balls within hours of delivery which was within 48hrs. Require a few more items to complete the perfect room. Will use again.

Nice and easy to get set up. A few minor issues with software but easily sorted with a quick call to the team at golfbays. I recommend TGC2019 for game play. Not tried Skytraks own courses but I believe they are good.

Peter H

Happy with the quality of the turf and would highly recommend to others.

Scott W

This is an exceptional machine with fast delivery and outstanding customer service from Golf Bays. It’s my second purchase from Golf Bays, they deliver top marks all the time and I would highly recommend!

Just Installed this new Pro+ screen at my commercial golf simulator. The difference between the old one and this new one is astounding. Not only is it much quieter but the image projection is so much more clearer. It is installed quite tightly using the Bungee balls but there is no significant bounce back.I unequivocally recommend the Pro + impact screen.

The golf team enjoys practicing with the Puttout training mat. More practice means better putting on the course. The quality of the product is excellent.
