Tgc vs e6 1.6 with gc2

[Jfbhd4]

From all my reading the gc2 seems to be the most accurate indoor launch monitor. Price is decent so I think that will be my choice. Graphics are really important to me so I am hoping people can help me choose between e6 1.6 and the golf club. I'll mostly be playing by myself but I do like the idea of online play. I plan on using 2 overlapping projectors to be sure the brightness is on point. I plan on having a 16 ft screen. I toyed with the idea of a curved screen but think I would screw it up. My room is 21x21 with 11 ft ceilings. I love the idea of tgc having thousands of courses and being able to design your own. You could have your club designed and really hone in over the winter. Any thoughts or ideas. I want to spend 15 fo 20k max.

I have both. TGC all the way. No contest.

[Bubba22]

Have both. TGC hands down! Not even close. Either way, I don't think E6 1.6 is available for th GC2.

[Richard_Askren]

Yeah go with TGC if you'll mostly be golfing alone or online. E6 doesn't natively support the GC2 but couldn't you use it through the ProTee Interface like you do with TGC? I don't know. I don't have a GC2. E6 is better for the stats logging, game modes, and practice modes it has. TGC is better for solo or online play and current gen graphics. A lot of those missing features should get added to TGC over the next year or so.

If graphics are important to you, than TGC is the winner.

I really liked the truGolf software and went with TGC. I'm very happy with TGC. There's some fuctionality that is better on e6 but I'm pretty sure its coming soon. I find TGC/GC2 to be a home run.


My screen is 16 feet wide. 2 projectors? What's that all about?

[Jfbhd4]

I'm thinking to go that wide and have it not washed out you would need to overlap 2 projectors about 3k lumens apiece? Thoughts? What resolution does tgc go up to?

[Jfbhd4]

I got a quote from the company that builds the sim surround and it was about 6 grand to do a 20 ft curved screen with projector mounts etc shipped. They are in Europe somewhere. I am still debating whether it would be worth it. Clearly I would need higher than 1920 resolution to do it.

[Maverick]

TGC can do 4K if your pc/video card and projector(4K native) can handle it. 20ft screen seem like over kill. a 14ft 16:9 image is very big when you're hitting from 12-15ft.

[mthunt]

I run TGC on a single projector at 2000 lumens on around a 15 foot wide screen at 16:10. It seems perfect to me. I can't imagine how hard it would be to align two projectors plus 2x3000 lumens would seem to me to be blinding. There's a lot of guys here that have been doing this a long time but I'm thinking this is a mistake. 2 4k projectors will bankrupt you.

[Jfbhd4]

True golf has the horizon http://youtu.be/eKruOORNEkw and it is 16 ft wide... Doubt any 4k projector under 10 grand would do enough lumens to light up any decent sized screen in a nearly full light room.

[Jfbhd4]

Has anyone played on the 4k version?

[Dax]

Unless you are just using a 4k tv, then I suspect no one has as the projector options are too limited and expensive for sim play. Also, I'm not sure if the current crop of projectors have enough lumens for a sim. You will need a really good graphics card as well.

Has anyone played on the 4k version?

I have the video card to support 4K just waiting for the price to come down on the TV's, the plan is to project in low res 1080 and have the TV at 4K by the computer. That's two years out.
