I’ve got some windshield time coming this am so can listen soon
Good timing with the SkyTrak event bending announced soon ?
Thanks. I will give this a listen when I can. I appreciate the opportunities to learn more about things like simulators even if I were never likely to be in the market for one. I appreciate what I can learn about equipment , technology and the golf industry just from listening to a podcast.
Off Course is a great feature here on THP.
This is a must listen for the garage sim crew and the folks interested in the skytrak experience
Really good conversation here and [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER] asking all the right questions! I got a nice little chuckle when talking about whats the one thing not to skimp on when purchasing as setup and the screen talk with the smiley face or donut, when I was listening I immediately wondered if anything would be said about [USER=3]@JB[/USER] setup at the tech studio and Dan didn’t disappoint :ROFLMAO:

Haha at the smiley face, which was the opposite of my face.

Man, it was too perfect.
When I had my garage setup, I really thought I had a great mat for hitting, but still think of the times I got a bit too steep with a mid iron and paid the price with my entire soul driving in and through the turf.
That always stuck with me how I thought I had a bad setup more based on the mat than any other pedestrian aspect of my buildout.
Ooo, custom builds. :unsure:
Listening to this now. First thought was man, Adams Golf really had some good people working for them. What the heck happened…..
Hell yes! Can’t wait, having just gone through the experience with SIG, I’m looking forward to this one, they’re awesome.
Great episode [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER] . I’m really trying to take all the garage sim talk as a sign from the universe that I need one in my garage.

You’d think so right :LOL:
Really great guys and know their equipment! Spoke and emailed with Ricky about some options and he did give me a lot of insight (Thanks JB).
I had approval and a spot picked out inside the house. Had the perfect setup with the SIG10 (SIG12 would have fit but off center hitting zone) and talked with him about customizing the panels. Was almost a go until I taped it out and thought about sound.
Their screens are on the quieter side. Even with that in mind, I knew how it would reverberate throughout the main open floor plan. Even into the upstairs and the boss would eventually regret the approval ?.
What was really great was the no pressure approach. Education is key to help keep expectations and reality in check. Ricky did a great job of that!
We couldn’t find a system that works for me in the garage and what I wanted. I need to remove/move the screen every time due to the wife’s car space. I would have purchased one from them if so.
I did finally pull the trigger on their 4X7 SPSofty and can’t wait for it to get here.
Great listen Dan! Anybody looking to build something, make sure you get in contact with these guys!
thanks for taking the time to listen!
It was a fun show, and I learned a few things that I never even thought to worry about beforehand haha
Finally got around to listening to this today and really enjoyed it. I really liked their idea of having a demo network for the various options. I just purchased a SigPro Softy and think my next upgrade will probably be one of their screens.
Really enjoyed the listen. Just called them to ask some questions and they were super helpful.
