  • FSX vs. ProTee/TGC in late 2015

    I think I’ve decided on going with the GC2 rather than ProTee. I think it will work best with my room mainly due to the easier install (not needing the lights and extra cameras) and also to more easily allow for my son who is a lefty to continue to use the system as he grows (I’m limited in the width of the room). I’m now debating on the software to get to go along with it and have been reading a ton of posts around here. It sounds like most people around these forums feel very strongly that ProTee 2.0/TGC is much better than FSX but I’m wondering specifically why. Much of what I read is 6-12 months old before I believe FSX was fully launched. I’m wondering how the two stack up against each other head-to-head. Clearly TGC has significantly more courses but outside of that is there another reason that FSX falls way short?

    I had a conversation with someone from P2P and for the sake of the conversation we assumed that there was no risk of losing TGC compatibility with the GC2. His opinion was that the FSX is more “performance” level software when paired with the GC2 and will be the best for improving my game and 2.0/TGC was more for the “entertainment experience” giving me access to thousands of courses and name courses like Pebble, St Andrews, etc. Both seem to have online play (I’m guessing TGC has far more players), both have 4k support (probably won’t matter for my room). While clearly not as extensive as TGC, FSX does now seem to offer a good amount of courses albeit at a high cost per course. I don’t know exactly how many courses I would feel I’d need. The graphics look pretty good though it is hard to do a true comparison simply via online pictures.

    So what are people’s opinions around here? Coming towards the end of 2015 is ProTee/TGC software still far better than FSX? If so what are the main reasons for feeling that way? I really wish I could try out both but don’t know anyplace nearby that offers either setup. Thanks for the help.

    Thanks for the input guys,
    I asked Swingsense this morning for a demo, but either way, I will be buying TGC this thursday when it comes available...

    as for no Lobby, how do people play online, how do they meet up, etc..

          I have read that TGC software will be available on Oct. 1st but was this for separate purchase only? I couldn't find the source showing this info so I thought I'd ask. Also wondering if it's worth only getting TGC and skipping out on the protee and going with either fsx or e6 software to improve my play. I also have the GC2. I did notice on the swingsense website that TGC and Protee software are in stock to purchase separately or as a package. Just didn't know if it would be worth paying 600 more for the package or put that money toward e6 or fsx. Thanks!

            I believe you can buy Tgc now for 999 on swingsense.com.

            I have a gc2 and have both tgc and the foresight software. As i think I stated in this thread earlier. I like having both because i don't believe tgc will ever have the range analysis features that fsx has. If this kind of thing is important to you then i would recommend getting fsx. Can't comment on e6.

            If i want to work on my dispersion with a given club i would do it in the foresight software as you can see a grid of all your shot data with dispersion info. You can also see the ball traces on screen of all your shots which is very helpful. There are many youtube videos of foresight software for in action.
