I was just about to buy a SkyTrak package and decided to contact them to see if they had any promos coming up. Luckily, they're going to be running a promo from May 18 through June 17 or 18. I heard last year they were doing $200 off. Hopefully it's a cash discount like that and not "get a free protective case with purchase" or something like that.
Anyway, just though I'd let those know who were interested.
A little off topic, but has anyone gone from a net + TV setup to an impact screen/projector setup? I was set on a projector/screen setup, but got stuck on finding the best possible projector. So, I ordered the Pro version of the net return net and think I'm going to buy a large (75"+) TV to mount on the wall adjacent to my hitting mat. That way I won't have to deal with setting up a projector, hanging a screen, etc -- and the image quality will be a lot better and still really large. The delay on the Skytrak seems like it almost defeats the purpose of simulating an actual golf shot.
Business idea for SkyTrak: Instead of having a delay, once the ball has been hit they should launch it instantly on the screen - then after the 2 - 3 seconds it adjusts it's position to reflect where it's going. That way they can simulate an actual golf shot without a perceived delay.
