Love the easy setup, interface, accuracy, but…
on April 25, 2025
Posted by: Schwifty_Jack
Based off using other simulators the easy setup and interface is class leading. Really, really easy to use. While I have not done back to back or side by side testing versus other simulators, the accuracy also seems on point.
I took away a star because Home Tee Hero really needs more features/flexibility for this to be a no brainer. I should at the very least be able to pick a hole to play on a course versus having to start from hole 1 and pick up ball until I get to the hole I want. Mulligan is also extremely frustrating to use because it disappears in less than 10 seconds after a shot. Using mulligans is really the only way to practice repeat shots on a favorite hole of yours, since there’s no way to do a practice setup on any hole, any course. Also, mulligans should be accessible from a menu at any time, not a fleeting pop-up.

Makes golfing easy

This just makes practicing easier. Boots up amazingly fast. And if I want to play GS Pro I can. Otherwise I just fire it up and start hitting balls in under a minute. Playing more golf…. Swinging more… and getting better!!

This is my second launch monitor and by far the most impressive I have used. The quality of the screen and details in the data provided is amazing. Love how simple and quick it is to use without needing a computer. 10 out of 10

Loving it!!!!!!!!!

Love the simulator. It's easy to setup but I love that I can practice with 40- or 80-yard flag and hit 50-100 balls per day. Has really improved my short game. Only been using for a month and have dropped 2 strokes due to improvement on short game.

Really Really Really

Without the Correction ability for offset Screens, this really is only good if you have the room—I had to redesign my area to accommodate any Game Play. Other than that, it has been a lot of fun.

Are you kidding me?

Bought this about a month ago and I’ve been using this almost everyday. The convenience of this device is out of this world. Plug in play at its finest. I’m already in the Garmin ecosystem so it was so easy to start using with my account. The accuracy is up to par for real world play (judging this myself as a 25+ year experienced golfer with 8 handicap). The display is beautiful and responsive (better than I thought). I use wireless hdmi to connect to a screen (any screen or projector). Many courses (40k+), plenty of practice options, especially short irons. I love this thing.

Solid and amazing easy to use
on June 5, 2025
Posted by: ManMarc
I’ve had it for a few weeks as I’ve been working through redeveloping my swing. The numbers feel right on and this is the most amazing for me the response time is immediate. I also have the SkyTrak plus which has a much much slower response time and is very had to configure if you need to change the source. My SkyTrak also became annoying as it would periodically reboot and also needed a pc to work. I’m using the approach with a projector and the combination of the built in screen and the projector is everything I could ever want.
