Frequently asked questions about comparing simulators
Which golf simulator suits me?
It depends on what you want. Radar systems like TrackMan give you detailed ball and club data for practice. Full Swing and Golfzon are built around playing a round on screen, with a large projection or a moving swing plate. The simplest way to decide is to try two or three systems at venues near you.
What does an hour on a golf simulator cost?
Each venue sets its own prices. They depend on the system, the time of day and whether you play alone or in a group. Where a venue states its prices, you find them on its page. For a quote, contact the venue directly.
Are simulator measurements accurate?
The common systems measure ball speed, launch angle and spin, but in different ways: by radar, camera or photometrically. Results can therefore differ slightly from one system to another. If you work on specific numbers, stick to one system so your values stay comparable.
