Simulator "pains"

[mvhoffman]

Starting this thread by saying that I hate playing on simulators.  Thankfully i haven't had to in a few years.  I had some club adjustments done(lofts) and unfortunately my fitters trackman was not working.  He has a mat that feels like hitting outside in real grass and I don't mind hitting off mats there.  Today I went to my local course to use their sim quick to get some averages s/p adjustments.  Well first off the sim was nit working.  Hit a 52 on the screws, great shot... 50 yards with 970 revs of spin... I knew I was screwed for my purpose of sim play from the get go.  Long story short, their sim is not working properly and now, not just that "pain" but my elbow is killing me from the club "bouncing" back up from their carpet mat.  

 

No thanks...

Sounds like you are generalizing, and it’s more like you hate your club’s sim option.

My Skytrak, a relatively low cost one, sim is very accurate. I love it.

What kind of sim does your club have?

Likely a poor one, or one in need of an adjustment.

The Fiberbuilt, DivotAction, and Holy Grail mats are all great at providing a realistic club/turf interaction and not jarring your joints.

As far as launch monitor accuracy goes there are many factors: the type of launch monitor, the software/algorithms, the elevation setting, the set up of the space (indoors or outdoors), indoor swing syndrome...
