Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

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.
