Full Swing Golf, I've installed and serviced a bunch of them for Dick's/Golf Galaxy. I don't play golf, but they seem to like it.

When i was in the industry we had a Full Swing Golf setup in our office. Controlled by a touchscreen where you can select from a huge number of real golf courses. You have to build a room which has sensors which detect the speed, direction and spin of the ball. You hit the ball straight into a Kevlar screen with the projected image on it. Pretty impressive and fun, but rubbish when it comes time for putting.
I guarantee I'll tell you the truth and I guarantee I'll tell you what you need to know but I can't guarantee that I'll be telling you anything you want to hear.

Lots of players. Pick the one that fits the clients needs the best
Just call each one. Give them the specifics and let them design the solution.

Lots of fun

(Fullswing has a full putting simulator now with a actuating floor. Pretty cool but still bleeding edge)

I had a client with a ProSwing. Lots of problems over the years (it’s was one of the early ones). Last summer he bought a SkyTrak. It’s pretty impressive for the price. It’s iOS based with a Bluetooth sensor. I stuck a ATV on the projector and he was good to go.

Thread revival - after our 6th serious inquiry for golf simulator this year with two potential projects in the pipeline we are looking at bringing this into the mix on the resi side of the business. Is anyone aware of a company that has a partner program? I've talked to HD Golf and FullSwing. Neither had a reseller program. I was not left with a comfortable taste with HD after a conversation and FullSwing wanted to offer a 2% referral fee if they weren't already working with the client (they aren't). 2% seemed to be insulting since I would be bringing them to the party.

We’ve just built our own sims using a SkyTrac simulator. Hitting screens and driving/fairway turf are available everywhere too. Everything else you should be able to source yourself.

When we looked at becoming dealers years ago, no company offered anything. We’ve done several PGA stores too where we worked with “their” installers and they were absolutely hopeless.

I've worked with HD Golf before - was a nightmare. They don't have local support and actually asked me to be their California installer - lol, no thanks. The system is nice, but was a huge headache.

Foresight is supposed to add a dealer program soon.
I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other.

Associated question - client has Foresight and wants to set up in garage until outbuilding is complete.

What kind of wheeled stand could I use that is stable for a 65" TV?
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.
