Simulator Finally Complete

[Renreb]

I finally got my SkyTrak delivered last Saturday and had everything ready last Monday. I played for about 6 hours (seemed like 10 minutes) last Monday. I am slowly adjusting to swinging indoors. I play every Sunday morning (live in south FL), typically the first or second group off in the morning. I am your typical weekend hacker who shoots mid 90's to low 100's. I have to admit that playing with SkyTrak for one week gave me more confidence out on the course. I never liked to practice, mainly because it is hot as sh*t down here and you become a sweaty mess in about 10 minutes. I do not have that problem anymore!

I am honestly afraid that I am going to hurt myself by playing too much. I did the finishing touches to protect my ceiling on Saturday and then played a couple of hours on the simulator, played real golf on Sunday morning and then played simulator golf during the day. Needless to say I woke up this morning a little sore (so much squatting and bending down). But overall I am very happy with my purchase and set up. And this forum has helped me tremendously with tips and advice.

Looks great......details on the setup?

Dmoe I purchased a package deal from All Sports Systems (https://www.allsportsystems.com/golf...es-skytrak.php) and upgraded on the screen material and the hitting mat. I also purchased a dedicated computer (Dell Alienware Aurora R11). I used 1/16th aircraft cable (x3) in the ceiling to support the 4' x 8' foam insulation boards ($13.00 each at Home Depot) that protect my ceiling. If one breaks I can just slide a new 4' by 8' insulation board up in the ceiling. I have a couple spare boards stored behind the screen. I also have a couple of boards that protect the mirrors in that room.

Great build!

Looks like a great build! I also have the alienware aurora r11 but cannot get it to connect to my skytrak via direct or network mode. Have you had any trouble connecting yours via network or direct mode? Looks like you've got it connected via usb but am just curious if you were able to connect it wirelessly?

[Renreb]

I have only connected through direct mode. I have not tried connecting through the network mode. I have had zero connectivity issues.

Looks great! What kind of mat do you have? Don’t underestimate hurting yourself ... I went nuts the first couple of weeks and hurt my wrist / elbow, still recovering. Got a fiberbuilt so when I am healed I will know I have the best mat to prevent injury.

I have already hurt myself, lol. This is the mat that I bought through All Sports Systems, 4x9 TallTurf Premium Golf Hitting Mat. My elbows hurt from hitting off of a mat so much, plus I had a little too much bounce back on the top of my screen and hit a SW and the ball came back and hit me in my head, I almost cried it hurt so bad. But it didnt leave a welt so maybe I'm just a pu**y!

Build looks great! Really hope you enjoy your new sim!

[Renreb]

I am absolutely loving it. I have no complaints.

How do you like the MicroBay? I purchased the 9x12 version and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. My turf (12'x12') arrives on Monday. Everything else (GCQ, Projector, etc.) has already arrived.

[Renreb]

I love the Microbay. It is the perfect fit for my room.

How is the bounce back and noise on the MicroBay?
