 Now in today's video I'm going to show you how we turn this into this, but maybe more importantly if you've got an unused space in your house or garage how could you possibly turn that into the perfect all year round golf simulator and how much would it cost? Right, so there's two major investments that you're going to need to make, one being the hitting enclosure and the second being the launch monitor and we've taken a short trip to a company that can provide you with both. Now come down to what is the perfect place to find everything indoor golf simulator you can imagine. We're here at Golf Bays and I will take a close look at both the enclosure that we purchased and our launch monitor but maybe more importantly a launch monitor and enclosure for every budget and every requirement. Right Harrison, welcome to the channel and you're going to give us some advice to our viewers on kind of budgets and also what they what they get for the money and I'm going to start off with the enclosures. You do something that's called Simbox. Yes. Before we talk about the costs what is what is Simbox all about? So our whole premise with Simbox was effectively bringing at home golf simulation to the masses. Previously it's been quite an exclusive thing where it cost a lot of money to put and construct the whole room so our whole theory behind the Simbox was to create something that was light, portable, affordable and the biggest thing for us that we can get it to our consumers fast as well so we can offer next day delivery on that product. Throw a few clips up now of well myself and Lewis at he put this thing together it's very simple and easy it's quite intuitive in terms of nicely labelled in terms of how you put this thing together and also the idea that you can sort of dismantle it and take it down if you've got limited space or a dual use of space. I'll throw up a lot of links to the sort of costs of the actual Simbox and that's got a very dependent basically on the size of the enclosure that you want but the next thing and the other big investment is then going to be the actual launch monitor that you decide to purchase and there's a huge variation in terms of costs. So again from a budget perspective where does it where does it start? So it's going to start with something like the Garmin R10 so that retails around 450 to 500 pounds it's really small it's portable you can use it indoors and outdoors so you can take it to the range or use it at home. In terms of the data that it collects, it's good. It's good data yeah it's only limitation is that it's a one radar system it's quite a small radar so it's not going to be as accurate as some of the more expensive things but in terms of you know an affordable launch monitor to get into the game. And the idea it's so small as well to carry in a golf bag and take it to the range again is a real sort of flexible option and then from there what's the next leap up? So the next one up we're looking at the FlightScope Mevo Plus and the Skytrack both priced at around £2,000. So the only way that you would kind of separate them both is space. So if you're limited front to back in your simulator space then you would want to go for the Skytrack because it sits next to the golf ball. Got you. Mevo Plus sits behind as it's a radar based system so that wouldn't be the real only indication. And from memory I've used this in the past it's almost it's about 10 foot behind. Yeah it's about 9-10 foot behind yeah but you can use it indoors and outdoors. But that's an important thing to remember and a great difference between the two there as you say aren't very much on the same budget. And then really there's a bit of a leap isn't it to the kind of the next step up. There's nothing there's no in between and maybe what GC3 or something? Yes the next one would be the four-site GC3 priced at around £8,000 for that you're going to get a lot more data a lot more accurate data as well. Good thing about GC3 is as you know you can use it on the range you can use it at home or you can take it out on the golf course as well so it's loads of different uses. Yeah well again just as a from a personal reference you know that we've got GC3 in the studio we actually take it out yesterday for the first time on a course it was great to just get that immediate access to data literally as soon as you've hit a shot within seconds it's giving you numbers on a screen you don't have to have a laptop with you or anything else. So that was really interesting from our perspective and then again there's another quite significant leap up again isn't it? Yeah another big jump so the next jump would be your Trapman 4s and your GC quad again so that's going to be the Trapman 4 start at around £70,000 and go up to £21,000 depending on indoor outdoor software same price point for the GC quad that's you know that's a serious bit of kit we coach with them all day every day multiple guys on you know they up in another country coach them every day and you see guys on tour using them as well so it's I think even from my perspective and we film on the channel every week we found out that Trapman 4 was the detail it gave was far too great for what sort of I required but obviously it's great to have that option so the final thing I was going to say is that I know that from a you do sort of a combination of launch monitor and simbox together don't you so that's something to for viewers to have a look at if this is something they're serious about. Yeah so we do a few different simbox bundles they start from around £1,900 so that is a simbox enclosure a hitting mat and the cheapest one would be a Garmin R10 so you get all that for £2,000 the only thing that you'd need is to buy a projector and then you're up and away and you can start playing golf. Certainly not a bad option right we've got some idea in terms of budgets what we're next going to do is just have a look a little around what we've got behind us because it's a pretty impressive area you've got so it'd be rude not to have it go ourselves. Sounds good. Okay so that was great to visit golf bays and I've got to say they've got everything golf simulator you could ever imagine and more to be quite honest with you. What I've learned from kind of what we've done in terms of this setup the simbox as they call it the hitting enclosure is really paramount to get that right I think if you want some longevity and what you buy the quality of this thing is really top draw and a good wise investment then you're looking at the launch monitor. It started off like we said at that Garmin R10 at 500 quid and obviously there'll be limitations within it but it'll provide you with a great starting point and collect some basic numbers that you're going to require then looking at what sort of software is available that you want to see on your screen if you're liking this sort of simulator realm and that again does increase dependent on sort of what simulator you launch monitor rather you decide to purchase so there's kind of things you've got to consider as you know here we're using GC3 some great software some great analysis in terms of data obviously we used it in a sort of professional capacity in terms of what we do here on youtube so maybe not the kind of extreme that you'd want to go to I just do not know it all depends very much like I said on the budget you're looking to work with we've again going back to the where we started with this room and I'll throw up another picture now for you obviously the big thing was a good old clear out we painted the walls black which is a great effect in terms of filming but in terms of the sort of simulator space I think works really well there's some boards acoustic panels that we've got behind me which again I just aesthetically just dress the place up a little bit we've also got tv on the wall projector above us and we're now pretty much good to go everything is is as good as we could have hoped for so from an indoor space for us it's perfect if you could build this in your home then I'm sure you'd be delighted anyway thanks as ever for watching let me know your own experiences in terms of what you've perhaps purchased in terms of building your own simulator space and don't forget those comments help your fellow golfers and guide them in different directions maybe something we've missed or overlooks so I always appreciate you getting involved in the comments hit that like button thanks for watching I'll see you all soon
