How many lumens is your projector
What suggestions would you make regarding your platform (Stance Pad) if it needs to be for both left and right handed hitters?
,🔕🚕🚕😷😑🥝
What turf choice did you go with for the replacement on optishot the Matzilla or the T line turf? And did you go with the XL or just normal? Thanks for this video it is a huge help
Dude... God bless you! Been wanting to build a simulator for a while. This is the exact video I've been needing. Especially the info about replacing the hitting surface that comes with the Optishot. Thanks a million and consider me subscribed!
Optishot is not an accurate learning or practice tool. It’s a game
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
That ductless AC unit would be a goner after day one for me.
Same hahaha
Working on my optishot set up today. Cool video. Definitely going to build a similar stance pad. I just got my Arsene golf tracking number for the upgrade turf!
Just ordered an Optishot but the Arsene website said he's not taking new orders for a bit because he's too busy. Do you have any recommendations for a platform. I like the idea in the video but was worried it wouldn't be durable enough if someone (mostly me) completely missed the optishot pad and drove the clubhead into the platform itself. I feel like it would rip right through that turf he used.
I like this alot, very close to our setup at home. We have our hitting mat for Right/Left players. I am going to re-do my screen as you did yours with the bugies and 2 sided tape. great job.
Amazing video pal! Really enjoyed the thorough explanations.
Gonna come back to this video in a couple years when I have the space for this kind of project!
Going to come back in 10 years and build this on the fking moon. Hopefully I can account for the gravity difference or else I’ll have 500 yard drives with a PW
Just wanted you to know that I used your plan to make my hitting platform as I just got a used OptiShot2 with the JagManJoe turf. It came out great! Thanks so much for sharing your ideas!
been wanting to do something like this when i buy a house. thanks for the idea, looks like it will work out great
My man thank you so much!! I’ve been toying with the idea of building something like this for sometime and you made it look pretty simple. Thank you for your tutorial!!
I know it's a step up in price but I personally think Skytrak is the better way to go if you are serious about golf improvement. it is a real launch monitor and can be used in small spaces as well. Optishot is ultimately a glorified video game. I have a vid on my sim setup if you are interested.
Be cool to take the sensors and incorporate into the Country Club Elite mat. Great job and video!
Bro, that was so cool. What an amazing video. Thanks for sharing!
Man.... I am jealous! I love me some golf! Really enjoyed today's project!
Thanks man!
amazing! I have a pretty good epson 1080p projector and a serviceable Mac Mini that have been collecting dust. I've been thinking about doing something cool with them. I think I just found it! Now I'll have to spend the next few weekends cleaning out and making room in my garage...
did the optishot setup work with mac
Great "Low Profile, Low Space Impact" design. Gonna copy it.
Thanks
Thanks Bradley and good luck!
Great video 👌 cutting carpet is so much easier when using a curved Stanley blade though, a normal blade dulls too quickly and you end up hacking at the carpet.
great set up to practice your stinger shots.
yes, I caught the subtle Officespace reference at about 15:35 LOL great vid
Man bro. Great vid. I need to assemble one of those asap.
Very cool. It looks like it would be a blast. Great job.
Thank you!
Awesome project! Next time we get together... TOP GOLF GAME ON!
My friends would hit a lot of stuff in that room but it looks clean.
Cool setup. Should have left 6" under the minisplit to be able to service it though.
We're building this today. Thanks for the idea and instructions!
Excellent video. I’m still trying to determine how to design and build my own affordable garage simulator, and this is a great resource. Nice content and delivery,
This optishot upgrade is very enticing vs the $kytrack. However, I would like to hit real balls, so other than a different screen setup, is there anything you would have done differently in hindsight? Thanks in advance 👍🏼
Step 1: Have a high enough ceiling
haha yeah a mate of mine just didn't understand/believe me that I can't swing a club inside my house.
Step 1: nope
Lol right! No one but Rogue has that high of a ceiling.
Yea :( I think I’m dead in the water cuz I have 9 foot ceilings.
Isn’t 9’ enough?
I think you should give a try to R-Motion golf simulator which is around same price with optishot and much more accurate and is able to give attack angle spinrate and etc. You clip the tiny wireless sensor to your club and you’re good to go. That is if you are looking for the best budget setup ;)
Very nice video! Great job
Great video. Just a thought if you trowel the glue,spread it out the pad won't move. You might run into the pad starting to buckle under the turf.
Yea that probably would have been a little better way to do it. I guess I was just to eager to get it done
Great video, have you any suggestions for building a diy hitting mat?
I built a similar set up around 12 years ago. I had the Golf Simulator of America ( from Naples Florida) system and I used it as a portable set up to fit in my car and took it around hotels golf clubs and corporate days etc as a business. I had a lot of fun doing that for a few years. P.S. I also used foam balls for safety reasons. PPS. What's with the bagpipes. I live in Scotland near Carnoustie
Please pleas please make a video of a version of this for baseball off a tee. I have done some research into and would gladly share it with you to get you started.
Very Professional Done. Great Job!!
I've all the sudden become interested in golf.... :) Great video
wow great job man!
I have already built my platform and am waiting on my sensor to arrive. Can you tell me the dimensions of the hole you cut to drop the sensor into the pad? Also ordered the pad you suggested from Arsene. Thanks for the info. Great video!
Awesome video and will definitely be building this soon!!! One question, if using foam balls, can you use a motorized projector screen? Wondering what kind of tweaking would be needed to make it work…. Appreciate replies with any ideas 🙂. Thanks!!!
So we got that goin for us... Which is nice!!! :)
Great video. I didn't catch what room of your house this is, garage? Really high ceilings
hola la verdad imprecionante video lo disfrute bastante necesito el siguiente grabación me despido les envio besitos muchas gracias
this is awesome, dang.
Clever. Thanks!
Good idea. You and your friends must be really great ball strikers to not have anything to stop a mishit from going through the wall/ceiling. lol
Great Video! I'm currently making a similar set up. How has your projection screen held up to the impact of the foam balls? I'm going to be using Almost golf balls, was wondering if I should put up a net in front of the screen. Thanks!
Awesome video!!!
so cool, great job bro
Thanks!!
The stapler comment was super funny😂
Step 1. How to build a big garage!! I would love this set up for winter here in Canada. But first, need my step one. Might have to fill in the inground and make it into a driving range/golf oasis. :OP
Liked, subbed, and commented. TH-cam algorithm, do your thing!
Good luck servicing that Minisplit AC unit
The only thing I can't see working is pitch shots that elevate quickly.
The Office Space reference! Hahahaha. "My stapler."
One way to save a lot of money is to use a computer with a large flat screen monitor instead of the projector. The monitor would show the shot results. Obviously it wouldn't be on the wall where you are aiming when you line up. It would be in front of you - where you are facing towards the side wall - sideways from where the the ball goes. We had a set up like that with FlightScope software and sensor when I worked for a Golf Digest Top 100 rated custom club fitter. We had a small target on the netting. Also, netting is a lot less expensive than the projection screen. It worked well.
Lol, say goodbye to that mini split😂
Nice build - what's the software you use, and what would you say is the minimum height to ceiling? Thank you for the videos
You’re a beauty bud. Can you send me a link for that magnetic stud finder? I’ve never seen that and it’s that’s so simple.
I'm assuming you're hitting the foam balls you got with the otpishot - how well is the projector screen holding up from the impact?
this is amazing
Very impressive 👏
I really enjoy watching your video special this one because I have been planning to purchase a simulator but really expensive. Now, I can do it myself with the help of my Son. How big is the actual projector? Do you think the 7 1/2 feet height will fit? Let me know pls. Thanks
Just wondering what happens when a left handed shot comes over to play?
Making that stance pad might be better if it were a little bigger and the optishot was in the middle. Food for thought.
Yeah also the “you don’t really hit the ball off your back foot” comment is false. I’d make the pad huge for both left handlers and so you could play the ball off your back foot for the lower chip shots.
This is awesome
My man, just finished this wish I could send a pic! You rock
Anything you would change or do different. I'm going to build one soon
@@davidartrip6732 it mainly goes down to ceiling height!
What’s the size of the screen and how high is your ceiling?
Nice “Office Space” reference lol
What movie projector did you purchase? Your link no longer works for the specific model you are using.
Thanks
You're going to kill that mini-split. lol
No chipping signs are a must lol
aloo la verdad increible video lo disfrute aguardo por el proximo material los dejo les mando besitos gracias
Awesome video, unfortunately I don't have room for it.
What would be your recommendation if this were to be mounted in front of a garage door? Meaning not into studs.
Way cool!
Thanks!
Have you had that minisplit worked on since you put that up because alot of minisplit units have to be able to access right below them?
Excellent looking simulator! One question though, are you not worried about your AC unit up top there for higher lofted clubs?
You can hit foam balls. The OptiShot tracks the club head movement, so a foam ball will get you the same simulated result. No damage to your house that way!
Great setup.
My only thing is: simulators are events, not actual golf. I would go the full 9s on tech that gives me swing speed, ball speed etc.
Work on distance (information) in the offseason. This setup is more for entertaining/activity.
Your talking about a launch monitor. 10-15K just for the monitor, then whatever you spend on the mat, screen ect.
Great video but one question. How will you putt?
That window to the left of the big screen... did you board it up yet?!
Is the foam ball to club impact similar to if you hit a normal ball or is there a significant difference?
I rather go to a driving range inside makes me feel like somthing holding me back as far as a full swing i don't know must just be me
Awesome video and setup! Too bad if you have any lefty mates though..
Which pad did you select for replacement from their website since there are multiple ones if you don’t mind me asking? My optishot 2 should be in this week! Thankyou
That's great, and I actually had a P3Pro simulator in the past. I paid 2k for it, and only used it a handful of times because it wasn't that accurate. The optishot is even worse. But, your setup is awesome. I would rather invest in a decent launch monitor with a net.
I totally agree. I know it's a step up in price but I personally think Skytrak is the way to go. it is a real launch monitor and can be used in small spaces as well. Optishot is ultimately a glorified video game. I have a vid on my sim setup if you are interested.
@@bitario723 Here you go: th-cam.com/video/97pePtttzhY/w-d-xo.html
I wonder how many times that air conditioning unit up the top is going to get hit?
should of centered it so if you have a lefty comer over they can hit too
nobody wants to be friends with a lefty
wished the local public course had several to practice on. i could see an upturn in daily business if they did.
Looks great amazing room but for that much ,wouldn’t a skytrak be better than the opti shot? Great video though.
Ant yes but a skytrak is $2,000 and an optishot is $350
And a SkyTrak won't work with foam balls
Why not place the sensor in the middle of the stance pad that way left and right can hit?
Just wondering how tall the matt is after everything is said and done?
Great setup up! However just want to know what happens when you top it? Did i miss the part regarding Foam Golf Balls?
He did mention at one point only foam practice balls would be used.
Awesome job man.. i do feel bad for ur left handed buddies haha
Us lefties get no love!!
Here's a great review of the JagManJoe turf upgrade & also a giveaway that is starting tomorrow th-cam.com/video/kg_04Dt0I4o/w-d-xo.html
Did anyone catch the Office Space reference when he mentioned using a stapler? ;-)
Dope setup man! My only question is, what if one of your buddies is a lefty? I'm looking into building a similar setup but, I myself am a lefty and all of my buddies are righties. Should I put the sensor in the middle or build a second slightly smaller platform for the other side?
Jackson Stewart If the mat and sensor is light enough you could just move it 180 degrees and there ya go
@@kripticgam3r155 i dont think you can because the sensor is in the front... you should build a pad twice as wide and put the sensor in the middle
I like it
I mean it’s nice but anything over an 8 iron will just go over the screen?
8:35 No matter who you are or how handy you are, you will always try to plug the usb connector upside down the first time.
Could’ve sworn I saw this guy on shameless 😂 nice vid!
No Left-handed friends? Great video.
Optishot should give you a vision
Lol, found out the hard way…sand wedge in the ceiling!
