Question: How well does it measure the accuracy of your shots, not distance, but direction?
Document: Generally, whenever I get a rather low swing speed, I believe that I have fatted the ball, (even slight fat seems to reduce the swing speed some thus shot distance). Occasionally, thin shots will show up at reduced swing speeds as well. Divots after contacting the ball do not seem affect the swing speed much at all.Here are some suggestions to gain greater accuracy using the product.1. Lighting - My system is installed in the garage.
With either a foam ball or a real ball, OS produces decent accuracy and realistic shots. My hypothesis is the OS software does actually sense both the club head AND the ball moving past the forward sensors. Given the flight of the ball from the tee across the forward sensors, the software is able to deduce direction and speed of the ball, and hence better able to deduce club face angle at impact.
The accuracy is dead on as I usually pull hook bad shots and within a few days of using this I have now been able to see EXACTLY why and when I make these bad shots and correct them. The 3DD software that is included has some really good graphics and is quite realistic (especially displayed using a projector). I also purchased the Tiger Woods 08 game and that has allowed my children to want to play with Dad now too!
This simulation package even gives you distances in feet when you really get close so it's good for chipping distances as well. I think the only detraction from this simulator is that the loaded courses should have provided the user with distances to the fairway bunkers or other hazards off the tee to help the golfer determine the best club to use and in what direction he/she wanted to aim their shot.
There are no jerky images. The software menu system is quite easy to use and the program is pretty user friendly. (I wish scrolling the lists was a little easier though). Course conditions can be changed. Prevailing weather conditions show up at each course. However, you can change these settings for wind and direction as well as other weather conditions.You can also change shot types depending on your lie.
If a golf video game is a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10 and the best commercial simulator is a 10, then I'd rate this product as a 6. The graphics are great, it sets up easily but the accuracy is a little suspect. I've tried different lighting and it picks up obvious hooks and slices well. However, distances with all clubs varies too much.
I have had mine for a couple weeks now and have really enjoyed it. I read all the reviews from people complaining about accuracy, lighting etc. I even read about a guy over 6'6" complaining about not being able to use it with his 8'6" ceilings....well duh!. This sim doesn't magically shorten your golf clubs. It does claim that it can be used with 8'6" ceilings but that depends on how tall you are. Anyway, I have been very impressed with mine.
I'm playing Taylormade 1.0's right now, so I went to the manufacturer's website, got all of the specs, and programed them into the Optishot. There is also a setting for clubhead speed %, and a distance control %. My shots were coming up short, so I cranked it up to 200%, and hit a 320 yard 7-iron with about a ten yard fade.
Full swings with a six iron registered swing speeds no more than 70 mph and thus the computer would only give me 120-140 yds of distance on my best swings. I usually hit a 6 iron 165-175 yds. Many shots went right despite swinging with a severe closed face. Swings with a closed face went straight and with open face went way right.
My miss is almost always thin so I get a little better results than I should. I think really horrible shots are represented too good in the system. I have yet to hit a 60 yard miss hit even though I know some of my swings created a really bad shot.Now woods and hybrids seem way off. I have tried to adjust the system to get these to show up better but it has made very little difference. For some reason I seem to get WAY to much distance from all my woods.
Answer: yes
