What our customer's say!

"brilliat golf simulator with tiger woods 2005 or links golf 2003", This produced was first sold back in 2004, but hasn't aged a bit.

Brilliat when play with links golf 2003 or tiger woods 2005 as real to golf as u can get for the price.

The pc version can work both with links golf 2003 and Tiger woods 2004 and 2005. Not sure if future driver will be available to support TW 2006.

The distances for full swings recorded in the links golf game are fairly reaslistic - I would say 80-90% accurate compared to my actual distance - it is certainly not a suggested or illusory figure based on the club which I choose or the swing distance I assign to that club in the game setting (for links 2003).

It could have been just as realistic in TW 2005 had it not been the rather long roll which a golf shot has in TW2005 (even with the fairway condition set to very wet). Hey it may be to the default setting of the game rather than the device. It would be nice if this could be corrected in the 2006 game.

Golf shot directions are based on how the clubhead contacts the golf ball at impact. If square at the sweepspot, then the shot is straught. If club face is open when the ball is struck, the shot flies to the right, the more open, the more to the right. If club face closes, the shot is left. The phyhsics make sense to me. Hey it is impossible to really simulate all possible permutations how a shot can go wrong or can be shaped..

The distances for putting is not as good as those for full swings.. but there is also sensitivtiy setting which can be pre-set to lowest so that a swing for a short putt will only just be a short putt in the game rather than rolling to a long distance.. . anyway a steeper learning curve is required for using this device for putting - i would think that after adjusting to it - it is not as frustrating as it first appeared to be - and its certainly workable and more realistic than it first appear.

Similar comment for using this device for chipping.. distance not so accurately gauged. but still acceptable

overall 9 out of 10 - for the unbeatable price - and also for the numouers golf courses downloadable from the net for links golf 2003 and tiger woods 2004/5 to play with

"Close but no cigar", I got it, works ok, but isn't very accurate. I tried the worst slice swing I could manage, and it recorded it as a pull - draw. Impossible, but still sort of fun.

"A lot more fun than using a mouse...", The hardware is very easy to install- no issues whatsoever hooking it up and getting everything to work. The EA Sports Tiger Woods 2004 game that is bundled is a good game with a good selection of courses. On the negative side, the ball flight isn't particularly realistic- I rarely hit a draw on the course and I can't hit anything but a draw with this game. If you take a divot with your normal swing, you'll probably cause the mat to hop which seems to throw off the orbit of the ball and consequently your results. I was pleased to see the unit came with a spare ball but disappointed to quickly figure out why- the first ball was pretty well toast after one weekend of use. Their customer service department offered to replace one ball but after that, I'll have to pay for new ones...

Overall, worth it for the price- just don't expect this to feel like the real thing.
