Review on 🏌️ OptiShot 2 Home Golf Simulator Kit, Golf in a Box Series by Chris Parrott

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not bad. My driver doesn't read very well, but other clubs read well.

Good simulator. My friend brought his Skytrak to compare, optishot2 did well. He didn't believe that because he paid about $2,000 for his. It's hard to set up, but it's possible. I like that it shows the stick's face on impact. If you're hitting balls, you really should be using a tee. If you don't do this, the pad will leave a green stain on the ball that is quite difficult, if not impossible, to remove. So you don't want to use good golf balls on the mat. It doesn't read my TaylorMade R9 driver very well. I had to put reflective tape on it so it could see the driver and even with that it sees the driver maybe 20% of the time. It reads my irons pretty well. I find it very good for the price. I installed the mesh, baffle, projector, mat, carpet and optishot2 for about $1,500. Skytrak costs about $2,000 for the sensor alone. This is good for reading your clubhead speed, trajectory and face at impact. Not many people can have a $1,500 golf simulator in their basement. I have high basement ceilings, 9ft 8in, and I can use any club I want. This is a good attitude, especially if you live in the north with such long winters. I'm in Michigan, today is April 9th and it's snowing. My golf league starts next week and thanks to this simulator I will be ready. Interior golf domes don't show your ball's flight very well, and they certainly don't show your clubhead speed, face, or trajectory!

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Quick start guide
