Hi everybody...
Been having a blast reading through all of your threads; thank you for such amazing info. My hope is to add valuable insight someday (soon) too!
With that said, I need help...
I'm in discussions with a GC2 rep right now, and he's giving me very short answers; seemingly only opening the "can of worms" -- just barely enough -- to get the sale. Comes across as a pretty decent guy, but too much sales technique for me... Won't even budge on price... Who spends ~10k on ANYTHING without negotiations! lol... I might have to find a used unit if he continues to be unrealistic...
--------
Background: My #1 goal, today, is to find an extremely accurate indoor launch monitor for PRACTICE. I want the ability to hit balls, in my house, rather than having to go to the range everyday... Sim sounds cool/fun, but that can come later, if I'm impressed enough / interested enough, down the road...
--------
Anyways, here are my questions for those of you in the "know," and willing to help!
1) Is software absolutely necessary to hit balls into a net in my garage? I don't need a "simulated ball flight." Top down view is okay, which I've read comes with the IOS ipad app. I'm primarily interested in numbers (distance, spin, launch angle, etc.). I'd like to 'know' path, but I don't need to 'see' path.. I'm fine with seeing numbers (or top down view) that shows me the ball carried 165 yards, and went 5 yards left of target... Recommendations?
2) Initially he told me that I "needed FSX." After reading through these forums, however, I realized that there are other options. When I presented this to him, he mentioned that "all third party software is illegal to use with GC2." He then offered a cheaper option than FSX (which is FR1)... What are your thoughts? And yes, I have read through MANY of the FSX vs TGC threads... Just looking for any additional/valuable information specific to my wants/needs.
3) I cannot find, anywhere, what 'comes' with FSX. His quote says that "courses are $99/year." Really??? Is there a way to buy courses that don't have an annual subscription? I'm primarily interested in a driving range, and potentially 1-2 courses.... That's it... Not using it (necessarily) for "sim"....primary goal is practice... When you bought FSX, did it REALLY, ONLY, come as stand alone software? No "free" course, no "free" driving range, etc...?????
4) HMT: If I forgo the FSX software (or any software) for now (to potentially purchase later), do you think HMT is necessary for what my needs are? To reiterate: My #1 goal, today, is to find an extremely accurate indoor launch monitor for PRACTICE.. Playing sim rounds sounds fun/interesting, but right now I'm primarily concerned with having the ability to hit balls without having to go to the driving range...
Thanks for looking!!!
