“Convince the wife??” I AM the wife who has been begging to put the sim room in, and even asked his golf buddies to weigh in and convince him to move it along!! 😆😆😆 Thanks for all the info!
@@GolfBusters LOL!!! I’m trying to convince my golfer hubby to jump this project over a few others! I mean, think of all the stress relief while working on other projects…right??
Wish my wife would be on same page. The best thing I have noticed is putting many things in golf sim room that she likes..nice couch, mini bar, fridge, movie theater style things like that.
God I can’t wait for a set up like this I’m in holland Michigan so I need to build me a nice little spot like this for my family and me for the winter 🥶 ❄️☃️🌨️ but love the videos as always keep it up and amazing set up bro hope to have one soon😎
i would need to buy a "that was easy, staples button" and program it to say "hey apogee, mulligan, yes." awesome video. going to be building a sim soon, love watching your channel! thanks for all the ideas in this one! only question I have is have you tried the new "swing caddie 4"? that's the one I've been considering because it has sim tech built in.
The SC4 is under 550 USD and come with a free EC6 course WITHOUT any subscription That is the BIGGEST Plus. IT is failry accurate ( sl lower than Garmin R10 or any of those > 1000 USd ones) BUt most guys porbably will not need those . If u do, probablly u would hv gone for what Bushmill.@@GolfBusters
By far one of the best simulator educational videos/series on YT. I have a question though; My wife has agreed to let me build out a similar building in our backyard. Originally I was going to try and squeeze a shop and simulator in a 20x30 or 24x32 foot building. I was going to section off the simulator part to be like 14x20 and the rest a shop. Now my wife is sold on the whole thing being a big hang out spot for movie nights and golf and open out to fire pit. So my question to you is, how big is the simulator area? I'm guessing like 25x25ft from trying to eyeball your videos. I realize you have a garage behind the screen but I just want dimensions of the simulator room itself. I love what you've done and think its amazing. I already own a skytrack sim and use a net and cheap 120" screen and projector in my garage. Would be awesome if you could include dimensions of the room and the layout. Would help me a lot. I'll wait for a response here and then email if you don't see this. Thanks again. Looking forward to new content.
The divot board is very realistic. The ball being suspended in the air means you’re hitting the ground before the ball. No excuses for poor ball striking
Those custom wallpads look amazing! I don't have the space for a build like this currently, but if I do ever get the opportunity I will definitely do this.
Looks Great! We are in the middle of building our sim. Building is up and i'm framing, insulating, etc. Probably going to be next winter before we actually play golf in it, but have been a little wishy washy on launch monitor. I was really thinking the Uneekor eye xo 2, but after watching this the Apogee might be an option. Can you use GSPRO with Apogee or just E6?
It comes with E6 because Trugolf APOGEE owns E6. I also believe they will be giving their brand new APEX software with it! APEX looks amazing they gave me a sneak peak the other week.
I like the revisions. Now all that's missing is a Golden Tee. Only thing I might change during my simulator build is using memory foam fabric covered tiles to help reduce bounce back. **Also, It's called the "Ace Pot". Most disc golf leagues have an ace pot that works the same way. Buy in for a $1-$2 every week until someone hits. A lot of people will travel to a league they never play in if they catch wind the ace pot is getting high. Pretty fun.
For the strip that you made in this video and a few others, all of them were pretty different. What do you think is your #1 most realistic 2x4 hitting strip cost aside?
Now for your under $6,000 at home golf simulator, a nice thing to have is a Trackman Launch Monitor, "and that ended up costing us zero dollars, because we had it already." So it's a nice thing to have if you are building a golf simulator for $5,978.
Do you mount the apogee directly over the hitting area? If so I assume that would allow use in a shorter depth room. I've got a 13'x22' 4th stall in my garage and I'm trying to figure out what way I want to hit. According to the world wide web, 13 feet is too narrow for a home sim with a lefty and righty swinging. But 13 feet might also be too shallow for facing the other direction. Help me out here brother!
Your going to want the frame to be shorter than the screen so there is no gaps. So frame itself I would add about 6-8 inches on either side but the border of the frame should cover the screen
Are you able to hit 50 yard higher shots on a setup like this? Do you move closer to the screen? Is it better to build some type of net above or just let them hit the ceiling on a popped up driver shot?
Can you recommend a camera to attach to my mevo system. I want to add a a side and rear facing camera system. There are ao many to choose from. Do you have one you really like
Hi great video , just on the padding how did you fix it to the walls , glue, screw etc , and how does the foam go with balls hitting it the , is there a video on your site that covers all the about questions cheers mal
Question about your padded vinyl squares: Do you think 2" egg crate is "good enough"? Do you wish you would have gone thicker? Softer foam? Firmer foam? Love to hear what you think of it now that you have used it for a while, and have probably shanked a few balls into it
@@GolfBusters Nice. I appreciate the quick response. I am putting together a parts list and my gut thinking was 2" wouldn't be enough (*thats what she said). But I can save quite a bit if I go with 2". Kind of trying to find a best bang for my buck. Look great, and not break the bank
I’ve watched this video at least a dozen times over the last 7 months. I love the panel idea and am about to start working on building the sim. Just gotta play in a member guest next week first lol
LOVE these videos!!! A couple quick questions... 1) Are the deals still available for the impact screens, 2) what are the dimensions of your building (minus the garage behind the screen), and 3) how big is the concrete pad out front? Keep up the awesome work!
What did you use for the bumper on the bottom? I followed your video and converted my theater room, real similar setup, but I have torn through several couch cushions and need to find a permanent solution for accidental stingers.
@@GolfBusters thanks for the reply! I should have assumed that’s what it was. I was initially going to do that with the vinyl but it was too bouncy, didn’t think about a different fabric.
So that’s not what the screen looks like I’m guessing? It looks like you superimposed the screen onto the wall in the video. The ball even disappears behind it. Does the screen and projector look bad?
Hey Derek! The screen looks great I just superimpose on all my videos because it shows everything easier for video purposes. I would say the projector feels almost as good as regular tvs. I've been very happy with it but with how my recording camera works and the lighting difference between the room and the projector screen it's hard to capture both correctly on camera.
how do you feel about the putting turf on 1 inch foam tiles on concrete garage floor instead of hardwood like you have? enough for shock absorbtion? I want to do this and then install a strip
Do you have a email, I want to build a simulator.. My only question is about Flight scope Mevo Plus vs Golfzone Wave....and iif I can sinulate putting on them and price diferencial... Interest in buying screen, projector and other gadjets.. Thanks
I'm curious how well the leather padding will hold up when someone smacks a ball into it directly. The space I'm looking to modify is undoubtedly going to be a bit smaller than what you have and I know that as I progress I'll be hitting some errant shots. Also how did you attach the pads to the side walls?
Do you notice your RCT balls wear rather quickly? Within 200-300 shots I see them really breakdown. Could be I hit in a dirty basement, what’s the life you get out of the RCTs?
I have had the mevo+ for a while and love it. Use it to run e6 off an iPad and it reads incredibly accurate and it’s super fun. The ONLY drawback is I can’t get it to read putting accurately at all on E6. Any suggestions, would love to pick your brain on this.
How is the mat working out so far. I just bought. $50 for hitting mat space. Hope so. Does it not need a divot composition like the ol magic hitting divot mat? Is it worth the hype value to cost assessment and how would you improve the realism?
Great video. I am thinking of doing a sim build myself and like the mevo+ but was interested in learning more about the apogee. I was really impressed with the club face at impact video. I can't seem to find any in depth unbiased review of the device here or on utube. I looked through GolfBusters video's hoping to find one but was unable. Anyone have a link. Thanks
Hey! We are trying to put out a couple reviews on it in the coming weeks. Send me an email with all questions and I'll help you decide. GolfBustersOfficial@gmail.com
Please do a review on the apogee. My biggest gripe is it doesn't show aoa spin lift and other metrics which seem like it should be capable of doing so especially since uneekor has those capabilities at a similar price point.
On the panels where you can't get behind the wall... how did u attach them? I don't have access behind either side wall for mine. Just liquid nails or something like that?
I love the build! Thanks for the in depth descriptions. What do you use for heating and cooling? I’m planning to do something very similar with our detached garage
I think one thing to know with companies is they can improve. Working with them the last month I can tell they are dedicated to improving the device and making it as good as it can be. I've had great results and any issues i've had you can tell the team really cares and usually has the issue resolved within the week.
So glad I found GOLFBUSTERS and this video! We are building a home and planning a golf simulator in the basement. Could I email you some architectural drawings and get some advice/recommendations?
