What GolfWRXers are saying about simulators

In our forums, WRXer ‘luvofgolf’ has kicked off a discussion on simulators wanting to know if purchasing one would improve his overall game. Our members discuss their views on simulators with the majority believing they are most beneficial as a supplement to lessons.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

pgetzen: “Agree with all of the comments regarding lessons. Although I have a Skytrak with a video set up, it’s really a big luxury. I use it basically as a virtual driving range for the days when I want to hit balls, and it might be too cold or raining. So it’s useful to me to keep my swing in sync, but I work on my swing separately.”
Higgs66: “Being able to hit balls any time indoors, at home and have fun doing it.. go for it. Will it make you a better golfer, it could but don’t always trust the feedback. There are so many dynamics to the game.. rhythm + tempo = power. They also can double as a home theater.”
2down: “You’d be playing indoors, but you would be playing. I’m not doing that right now. But will it help your game? Yea. Repetition is a good thing. But be careful, I tried one a year ago at a course near me. First swing with the driver I hit the frame they had us in. Kept going but modified my swing to not hit that bar at the top. Screwed me up for a bit. So wow, you’ll get to play, and repetition is good but ensure your space is adequate for your swing.”
sfong33: “Agree with most posts here, anything good that works well indoors starts at the Skytrak. As others have stated, even if you were to obtain a simulator improvement will be based mainly on how well you can self diagnose in the absence of lessons. Lessons by themselves are no guarantee either; you have to find an instructor that can diagnose well and can get you to do what he/she wants (assuming they are correct in the initial diagnosis phase).”
