I love my Optishot. It is amazing how it reflects the way I hit the ball. I can sense if I hit it fat, thin, left, right, or flush, and the system indicates that. For the cost, the system is amazing. I use it in my garage.

We enjoy playing on this very much. There are many courses to choose from. The only draw back is it has trouble reading the ball when using a driver. If you don't use a ball with the driver and just swing over the sensors it works just fine.

Optishot has been one of my favorite things I've bought in the past couple of years. Each time I play on it, I have the mentality that this is really just a game. It is pretty accurate (speed, distance, direction). The only flaw is that it reads the club speed and direction instead of the ball. However, this is still a great game. Shows you all of your stats including where on the club you hit the ball and if the club was open or closed.

I bought a golf mat to go along with this and project it on a screen in my garage. My friends love this because we get to watch sports, play golf, and hang out.

I love this thing! I can play 18 holes anytime I want, rain or shine. Couple of points; Putting not so great but once you get the hang of it, not so bad either. I would recommend using the long/short tee on every shot. While it's pretty sturdy in the base, metal, the housing is plastic and the first one I had shattered on a miss hit by one of my friends who did not use a tee. Lesson learned. Excellent feed back on swing speed, plane and face position at impact. really has helped me correct some minor issues. I bought a Rukket 10x7ft Haack Golf Net (great product!) and use it indoor. You can swing without a golfball, of course, but I like the feel of the ball on the club face. What can I say, I've played 18 almost every day since I got this thing! Love it.

Only had the Optishot2 for a couple of days, and am quite pleased with it. Had a SkyTrak unit prior, and found it overly complicated compared to the Optishot. The best points about the Optishot are:

1) Quick easy setup
2) Simplicity
3) Reads every swing (at least for me)
4) Can use foam or real balls
5) Feedback on path, tempo, club face, swing speed
6) Includes 15 courses
7) Doesn't push your laptop too hard (a problem with SkyTrak - and I have a beast for a laptop)
8) Portability
10) Nice driving range
11) Mini Tour for $50/year where you can play tournaments and get access to many more courses
12) The ability to buy single courses for $30, versus expensive bundles with other golf sims
13) The multi-player is a dream come true - very simple
14) The amount of active games available in multi-player

The Cons:
1) Putting - it is pretty awful at this. All simulators are bad at putting, but Optishot is perhaps the worst that I've run across.
2) The graphic detail is lower than other golf sims (but easier on your computer). At the same time the image is brighter, clearer.
3) Those are the only cons I can think of at this point.

Would highly recommend the Optishot2 to anyone wanting to practice during the winter. Can you get a better system? Probably. Do you want to spend $5,000 for it versus $300? Probably not. The next "step up" from Optishot2 is SkyTrak - and it is not worth spending the extra $. Having owned both, I prefer the Optishot2.
