I am used to playing indoors at our local golf sim shops and I love it. I have been a frequent customer every winter, playing once a weekend for the last three years every winter.
So when I decided to set up my basement for golf sim, I did not imagine I will be having issues. I pulled the trigger thinking that this will save me a lot of money and time if I build my own. SO far two weeks after setting up my golf cage and ST, I have been experiencing some very frustrating issues. Not with the Sky Trak unit itself as it reads flawlessly. It may be just my swing after all, but I need to do some range time this weekend to find that out. I usually am a very good ball striker with my irons and a fairly decent driver of the ball. Usually IF I don't visit the range, I will have some issues with the quality of hits but I sort them out after a few range sessions.
For some reason since I have set up my golf sim, I have been hitting nothing but toe hits on my irons. I can only hit my sw to pw properly but still not my usual quality hit. out of 10, I can say only 4 shots are decent. My miss are low launching, hand stinging shots due to toe hits. And my woods and driver and hybrid? Well I cannot hit them. As in 0 good hits. If you watch me hit my driver or woods down our basement, you'd think I am a beginner. It's that bad.
I suspect two things. One is that my swing may have been ruined by whatever I have picked up before the end of the season this year, around end of October. Second is hitting indoors, I am not yet past the indoor swing syndrome. Until I try out my swing at the local indoor range this weekend, I cannot say for sure if it is a swing issue indeed or just my mind messing me up. Whatever this maybe, I hope it goes away because it will be really disappointing if I cannot make this work as I have invested in the Sky Trak unit etc plus the basement upgrade. I can always set up an outdoor golf cage in the summer and still practice using my ST every day but that was not the original plan.
I also plan on inviting my buddies over and have them try out the setup and see what results they get. They are also very familiar with indoor golf sims as I play with them during the winter months a lot. If it works out for them, then that answers half of my questions.
So my question is, did you have any issues with your ball striking or the quality of hits when you built your golf sim in your home? If so, how long before you got past all the issues that comes with hitting indoors.
