If you are someone who loves the game of golf then I highly recommend you check out the OptiShot golf simulator from Dancin Dogg. This extremely popular product has been around for a couple of years now but is still selling really well.

The OptiShot is basically a hitting mat and a whole bunch of infrared sensors that are there to detect and track your golf swing. You will need a semi decent PC (not included!) to process the data and then you can display it on your screen or a projector. Use of a projector will make the whole experience much better but you obviously need the budget and the space to install this.

You can use it to train your swing or for fun. The fun side is a virtual golf enviroment where you can play some simulated courses that actually do exist in real life! I think you get two courses supplied with the OptiShot and a more are online for download.

This unit may not be spot on accurate, certainly not as accurate as some of the models that cost tens of thousands of dollars but it is absolutely perfect for home use. For more details click the link at the top of this article.
