    I’ve been debating on buying a gaming PC for a while, but as soon as this came out I immediately bought an iPad Air with an M1 chip. This is going to be a game changer for a lot of people wanting to keep it simple.

    • @GolfSimulatorVideos
      @GolfSimulatorVideos  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Let me know how the M1 Chip performs. This is a M4 and it is flawless, I would assume anything M1 and above is going to be find just wondering if they step down any detail or not. Thanks for watching!

    Sky track just claimed an untapped market. Not just iPad owners but keep in mind you can also use a high end Mac now too.

      @GolfSimulatorVideos  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I agree, I talked about the MAC option as well in the video. Basically since M chips in MAC those users know they can run any iOS app so it's easy to understand as well. This really is the best experience for full course play I have seen thus far, I feel like that really is not an opinion just facts ya know. Thanks for watching!

    Thanks for the course play video. This had me jump on a Skytrak+. I got a used one for $1,650 out the door. I had planned on the eye mini lite but my sim room will be 6 months to a year out. The iPad will make it doable now. I have an iPad Pro already, and can use that or send to a TV.
    Which do you think is best in that price range? Thinking Eye Mini Lite, keeping this Skytrak+, or the Square.
    BLP even at 1799 for ball data only is crazy expensive when it cost 500 a year to do anything with it.

    • @GolfSimulatorVideos
      @GolfSimulatorVideos  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Tough to beat eye mini lite right now at the sale price just announced. But doesn’t work with iPad. Skytrak+ with my discount code and this software so solid but if you updated to PC then eye mini lite on sale is probably the best value all around based on everyone’s feedback.

    Great review. I've been using this since it came out last week. Graphics look stunning - particularly when the competition is using E6 on an iPad. You can use the other features of the software (although the city driving range causes a crash) on non M-series iPad.
    I have reported a rather amusing bug, which will only be noticeable by players as bad as me: very very bad shots can sometimes lead to ridiculous run outs: I had a topped 7 iron, (1 degree launch) which went 30 yards, but then rolled out another 230!
    I've also noticed that the run out in general seems to be longer than in the previous software, even when the ground is set to soft.

      Thanks, took a bit for it to hit the Apple APP Store vs MAC was available and wanted to make sure to show the iPad quality since it was so requested. It is very good for sure, best iPad course simulation I have seen so far. I have not seen that run out bug yet, but if I do I will report it. I was going to try and do a full 9 hole review soon. Thanks for watching!

      @GolfSimulatorVideos  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      You can see for yourself here, I’ve shown both :). From what I can tell it appears really close! I have not done an exact side by side and it would take two units etc. But if you look in the channel I’ve shown both now to compare. Everyone seems really impressed so far, including me. I truly think it’s the best iOS graphics I’ve seen so far. Thanks for watching!

    I just got an iPad Air with an M2 chip in it so I can use this new software. It’s amazing. Graphics are better than I expected, better than E6 for sure. I’m enjoying Pinseeker. Could you imagine if GSPro ever dabbled in an iOS version? That would be dope(even though it’ll never happen lol).😏

      @@Blackcloud319 it’s $120 + $220 and gets you iOS and PC. Honestly I think it’s market based for what they are offering, especially this level of iOS. Everyone always wants lower pricing of course but they are going to price things where they need to based on costs I’m sure. Put it this way, Trackman software is awesome, but it costs $1,100 year! They have a big subscriber base too, but it’s just for those that want it and can afford it I guess.

I might just wait until my subscription runs out to spend anymore money to upgrade… maybe I’ll call Skytrak and see if my subscription now will lower the cost for the course play any… probably not but worth a shot lol.

      Nice! This really is a game changer. It has been a long time coming for someone to release solid software for iOS. I get it, they were not trying to eliminate all of those with older iOS devices by stepping down the graphics, but I think that the M series has been out long enough now that it can be an expectation to have M1 or better to run something nice. It will be interesting to see who makes it to market next with something of this level or higher! Thanks for watching!

    • @GolfSimulatorVideos
      @GolfSimulatorVideos  24 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Unfortunately, airplay and HDMI dongle is basically a screen mirror so it will display the resolution of your iPad, which does vary, depending on the model they usually land in between 16:10 and 4:3

    I just bought a Skytrak, but need to purchase an IPAD/computer for the software. While on the phone with ST tech support, I was told on top of the M1 chip as a minimum, the tablet has to have 16GB of RAM. (It can operate on android 12GB ram device, but we're talking strictly about apple products).
    So, don't make the mistake of buying an IPAD Air which has the M1 chip, but only 8GB of RAM.

    • @GolfSimulatorVideos
      @GolfSimulatorVideos  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah, I really recommend going with the pro when anyone asks. I just feel like for the price difference. It’s worth it hands-down.

    • @maeu59
      @maeu59 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think you should double check that, it would mean you would have to bump up to the pro which has an M4 chip (16 GB RAM) with 1TB or 2TB of storage, because the 256 and 512 (Pro) only have 8GB of ram, the website clearly says M1 chip with no reference to 12 GB of ram.
      The newest iPad Air has an M2 chip.

      Tough decision. Both seems to give solid data overall based on my testing so far. Launch box has a built in screen, larger hitting area and can package with e6 iOS and PC vs Skytrak has their software which for iOS is an advantage right now until apex is iOS but they said will be subscription too. Probably comes down to personal preferences on those pros and cons and which software you like.
