New turntable mat for Skytrak and turftop for Protee

[bionicboogerboy]

Here is a short vid of golf sim guys new Skytrak turntable mat and Protee turf top. The Protee turf top has a metal base with plexiglass over the sensor areas. There is gel between the metal base and turf. We will ask for testers on both shortly.

Very interesting. Is there something built in that ensures that it starts and stops and the same spot each time? I know GC2, Skytrak and others need to be lined up correctly to ensure accuracy, will it always lock at a giving setting or does the unit need realligned after it is rotated?

That is a slick way to solve a problem many people have. My brother is a lefty so I haven't looked at units like skytrak because of that issue.

[bionicboogerboy]

Yep

The table turns only 180 degrees.

I would love to test the Protee top. The problem I have always had is that the moment you cover the sensors with plexiglass, you affect the way the audio picks up putts. Even by tweaking the audio settings, it is hard to get the sensor to pick up a slightly hit putt.....but I hope it works.........

[bionicboogerboy]

For starters the plexiglass is removable. Next we will have small holes in the plexiglass where the mics are.

Hope it works, if you like I can send you the one I bought from Custom Design Golf. They too added a opening over the mic but it did not help. Here is the link where we discussed it at length.

If you get it working, I would be in line for it.

The plexiglass screws to the bottom of the metal plate. It can easily be removed as just a few screws hold it on.

Who makes the turntable mat?? How much?

I have been wanting something like this ever since I purchased the SkyTrak!!!!! I am a lefty and all my golfing buddies are righties......nearly impossible to play TGC moving the unit back and forth and trying to keep the aiming point somewhat consistent. This could be the ticket!

Wasn't completely sold on "Position Track" and hoping to find something a tad less expensive.

[bionicboogerboy]

Golf Simulator Guys makes it. This is a prototype. We have a few things to touch up before testing. Send me a PM to be placed in the tester list.

It will be paired with a 4x10 mat. Not sure on the price point yet.

Add me to the list also I have had the Skytrak for 18mos and am moving to a new home with a designated room for the Skytrak. I am left handed and all of my buddies of course are right.

Nevermind my post

[Brettskermetzger]

Sign me up for a tester on the skytrak...i've got some lefty buddies that haven't played with us...would love to see how this works

[bionicboogerboy]

Please PM me to be placed on the tester list.

[MainStGolf]

The turntable is ideal. That was what I was going to use for my SkyTrak but I just don't have enough width in my hitting area yet to get it done.

[DougieMn]

Bionic.......did you get my PM to be added to tester list?

[bionicboogerboy]

Yup

Thx.

[DougieMn]

I'd like to be a tester as well. Had SkyTrak since it came out and would love something to use both right and left.

Hi Guys

This product is out of testing and now is available for purchase.

2 sizes:

10’2”x4’ $1250
13’2”x4’ $1400

Those are for SkyTrak. GC2 is actually more. Please call 1 833 GOLF FAN to order.

[Dan McWhirter]

Do I need to call the Simulator Guys? The turntable is not yet for sale on the website. Thank you!

[bionicboogerboy]

HI Dan

Yes they are ready for purchase. Sorry, we are busy as usual and haven't built listings for them yet. Please note that we only have mats for the Skytrak. We are waiting on rubber for the GC2 turntable. The difference is that the GC2 turntable will not have a replaceable hitting area as the ball position is much further away from the turntable. In fact, for the GC2 the whole mat will be Tee line turf and therefore will be more expensive.

Please call Kevin tomorrow at 1 833 GOLF FAN and he will sell you a turntable mat.

Regards

Bionic,

Are the GC2 mats available for purchase now? Also what was the status for the Protee turftop? I am looking at viable commercial solutions but Protee was not recommended for commercial use due to the fact that it is a bit more fragile. Would this help?

Thanks
