Best Black Friday Golf Simulators: Buying Guide
There are certain items of golf equipment and apparel you can get away with taking a punt on. Sure, you may get some banter for dressing in a red Nike polo on Sunday, or sporting a pair of Poulter-esque trousers, but you are unlikely to dwell on the fact you parted with cash for them. Home golf simulators are a different ball game altogether, not least because of the associated costs. To help you make the decision that’s right for you, we’ve put together a few considerations to bear in mind.
Budget
Due to the hefty price tags associated with setting up a home golf simulator, budget must be your first consideration. You could put down a deposit on a house with the money needed to buy one of the top systems! If you are not in this position of luxury however, set a realistic budget, filter down your options, and then sort in order of your priorities, be it the accuracy of the launch monitor, number of metrics, useability of the software, or convenience of the accessories and subscriptions included within the package. Keep in mind that some golf simulators include everything needed to build a home studio within the price, whereas others may just include the launch monitor, and require further investment to complete your vision.
Space
It might sound obvious, but where are you intending to practice with your simulator? If you don’t have sufficient space at home, then you probably need something that’s more portable and can be set up outside with data viewed back via a tablet or mobile phone. The more expensive setups tend to require more room as they typically come with a full screen, hitting enclosure, and mat. For these simulators, check the dimensions of whatever room in the house you intend on taking over. We would suggest as a minimum being able to take a full swing with your longest club, with a sensible buffer for all the associated accessories. We suggest 12’ x 16’ to be adequate for most setups.
Accuracy
Launch monitors need to be accurate as well as fun to use, otherwise you may as well just buy a PS5 and play PGA Tour: Road to the Masters. If accuracy is your number one, then you will be looking at the more expensive models that combine radar and high-speed camera-based technologies. The next rung down of monitors typically uses Doppler radar technology to produce their metrics, of which the best in this category produce results within a couple of yards of the gold standard machines. Even some of the more budget-friendly launch monitors on the market boast impressive levels of accuracy, but worth double-checking their specifications first.
Visual Experience
Again, the more expensive systems tend to excel in this area, in part because of their affiliations with the best course simulation companies, but also due to the processing speed and graphical capabilities of the hardware. There are some fantastic middle-of-the-road options however that include access to thousands of virtual courses (sometimes for a subscription) and have very user-friendly interfaces that allow you to view your swing data in a format that makes sense to you. The importance of the visual experience can’t be underestimated so spend some time thinking of what matters to you most in this department.
Versatility
If you want to use your simulator on the range as opposed to at home, then ease of transport needs to be factored into your decision. While just about every launch monitor is portable, some are more versatile, allowing them to be transported easily, set up within minutes, and have a battery life that will outlast your longest of practice sessions. If versatility is important to you, then consider these practicalities to ensure you get maximum use from your simulator.
Compatibility
A final but nonetheless important point to double-check is the compatibility of simulator software with different operating systems. Whether you are an iOS or Android user, take a look through the system specifications and make sure you are not going to have any unwanted surprises when your new simulator arrives.
