There are several things that you should take into consideration to help you determine which machine offers the best golf simulation.

Sensor technology The spinal cord of any simulator is the sensors. It does not matter if you have amazing software and impressive graphics if all the information you are gathering from the environment is wrong. It is a must that a good simulator includes state of the art sensors. In today\’s market, you can find a wide variety of sensors. Some are infrared based, and others might go for laser technology. In the end, what really matters is that the important data is taken into account. So make sure that the system you are choosing has the capability of processing correctly all the information.

Software technology After all the data from the environment has been processed, it is sent to the system\’s built in computer. In short words, what the simulator\’s software does is joining the information gathered from the sensors with the conditions under which the game is developing (such as climate, terrain, water, etc.). Then it translates all those numbers and complicated algorithms into graphics, which will be projected in the screen. There are a myriad of variables that might be taken into account for the simulation. How can you know what is the best in this case? It actually is rather simple: the more variables, the better. If a software is capable of including more variables than another you can know for sure that it will be, as a result, more accurate

Game play You have got the sensors and the software, but when the time comes and you are playing the game you cannot figure anything out. Where is the menu? How can you view the swing analysis? How can I adjust the environment settings? If the game play is poor or way to complex and you can\’t understand anything of what is happening in the game, then your gaming experience can be seriously affected. Choosing a golf simulator that offers clear and precise golf simulation is really easy. Most of the companies that sell these simulators have videos and/or demos of their products online. Their websites give you an idea of how the system works and interacts with the gamer. If that does not answer your doubts, then some of those companies have centers where they physically demonstrate their products.

Price If you have already looked for a simulator, it is highly probable you have already noticed that most of them are expensive, which is not surprising thing. Researching and building simulators is not a cheap activity, so those products should match the investment they made. If you are looking for a simulator on a budget, you should compare costs from one company to another. There are many models that might fit your economy

Additional services Last but not least, it is a wise thing to consider the additional services that a company offers to their clients. Some of these might include: game related training, home installations, online service and help, spare parts and repairing services. Be sure you know what the company is offering in golf simulation, so you can benefit from all of their programs.
