New to Sky Trak and need some advice on the simulator programs out there/general tips

[OnInTwo]

The ol' lady got me a ST for X-Mas, and after buying the projector, mounts, Apple TV, mat, the net/screen system, etc., I am about $6,000 into my rec room set-up. My net-system finally arrived yesterday (Christensen Net Works), but was missing a vertical pole, so I couldn't put it together quite yet. What I didn't realize, or what I'm gathering from reading various posts, is that WGT is the only program that you can play courses with that is IOS compatible, and that I'll need a gaming computer to operate most of the good programs--is this true? I hear that WGT doesn't have multi-player, so I wouldn't be interested in it anyways. Are there any other programs that I can play real courses on using my iPad, at least until my next pay day where I can purchase a gaming computer?

Also, I've been reading that a lot of people position the ball in different areas (relative to the laser) for different clubs. Is this true? If so, where should the ball be positioned for various clubs? Thanks, fellas!

Does anybody know what it takes to hook the Sky Trak up to a gaming computer?

You can connect via wifi or USB.

I would recommend hooking up with WIFI. I used to have a decent amount of non reads when I was connected with USB and then I read where others said that when connected with WIFI, they had way less non reads. I tried it and it's true! The only non reads I get now seem to be on short 8-10 foot putts and I believe that is because of how soft I hit it.

You'd think a direct USB connection would be the best setup as the SkyTrak is directly connected to your computer. It amazes me how the performance is so much better through WIFI.

Once you get your gaming computer, I think you will experience the standard 2-4 second delay. I use a 43" HDTV for my display that I have set up across from me when I am addressing the ball. For me, the delay is not an issue as I can swing, and then turn back to my monitor to watch the ball flight. I think your issue is what someone else said previously, and it's the IPAD you are using.
