Hey all - I know you answer a ton of these questions so I appreciate any thoughts and comments you can spare for me.
I am wanting to setup a practice area with mat, LM and net in my garage. Although I live 1 minute from a driving range, literally, by the time the kids are in bed, it is closed and so practice time is few and far between for me. Although I never thought of doing simulation before, I have been reading on this site and others for the last week and am really intrigued by it. While it would not be the reason I create this setup, I think it would be fun and undoubtedly my five year old daughter, who hits birdie balls around the house now, would enjoy it too.
Anyway, I do not have any room in the house that will work. It's the garage or an out door setup only. I wouldn't have any way to do a protee like set up with lights etc and want something that will give me good feedback about the shot shape, carry ,etc. I am less concerned about what the club face is doing as I have learned through practice that I mentally respond better to making the ball do X than the club do Y. Also, as this will be in the garage and need to be moved frequently, a projector/screen setup is out so this old be only on an iPad or laptop for now, but I would plan to expand to a full setup if/when we move in a couple of years.
Thus, I think a LM like the GC2 or Skytrak is probably what I am looking for as both are portable and could tell me all I want to know with just a mat and a net and very little space. I guess I am trying to decide between these lesser money for Skytrak and the hope of e6 cloud versus the GC2/Protee/TGC Mecca you all race about. :-D Given the cost difference and my space constraints, my gut reaction is that unless I can find a deal on eBay or elsewhere for a GC2, I should go the Skytrak route until I can more fully I utilize the Gc2. But, then a little voice says that I know I would love the TGC setup.
Not really a direct question there, but more or less throwing out my thought process and looking for your feedback. Number one reason for this is for easy practice time but the allure of being able to play the wonderful courses on e6 or TGC is very strong.
