1. Use Your Own Equipment

Unlike other indoor sports videogames, a golf simulator allows you to use your real clubs and balls. With lifelike image quality on the screen that reacts instantly to your motions, it will give you a better feel for how your gear operates at different approaches. Since you’re using your own club, you won’t feel any difference between the mat and the real course.   

2. Instructional Aid

Many professional golf simulators include an educational component that will track your club head’s movement as it approaches the ball. The information will provide an analysis of your swing and suggest methods to improve. Common statistics include swing tempo, club head speed at impact, face angle, path, ball speed and launch angle. It’s like having your own golf coach right at home!

The ultimate home audio distribution involves both optimal equipment and placement.

Well-designed standing loudspeakers enhance any media room or dedicated home cinema in which you want to show off your speakers.
