Indoor golf simulator s
are incredible pieces of equipment.
It is probably every golfers dream to own one. Any one can purchase and use them from all over the world. Here in this article I will discuss what they are and their main features.
WHAT ARE They?
Putting it simply they are driving ranges for indoors. That is a very simple context for them as they are used world wide for other things. For example in golf shops they are used for simulating golf shots to custom fit people for golf clubs. They simulate how golf balls react when struck using computers and very high speed cameras. This data is then displayed on screen to be analysed or it can be used for a virtual round of golf.
HOW DO They WORK?
An indoor golf simulator works by using computers, monitors and very high speed cameras. Here is how a shot can be simulated on one. A computer is linked to a projector which out puts the information onto a giant screen. The computer is also linked to a very high speed camera. This high speed camera is placed in front of the golf ball. The high speed camera then takes pictures and records the golf shot. The software then can analyse the shot to output a realistic simulation of how the ball would react. This information is outputted onto the projector screen for you to see.
WHAT TYPES ARE THERE?
Really indoor golf simulator s are all the same as they simulate golf shots. However there are mainly two purposes for them although they do both. To create a virtual driving range, or golf course for you to play on in your home and the other reason being to analyse your shots to custom fit golf clubs. Although they do both to some degree the ones used in golf shops and on the pga tour or aimed more to getting specifications for custom fitting and testing. The indoor golf simulator you may have in your home will often have a wide range of golf courses you can play as well as some analysis functions.
HOW MUCH DOES one COST?
To be quick and short one costs a lot of money. They cost anywhere in the region between $5k and $30k.
Should I get one?
If you can afford it then yes because it is brilliant for practising.
