In this part of the video, the speakers discuss the flexibility and user-friendliness of a golf simulator, highlighting how it allows golfers to practice various shots and distances accurately and conveniently. They demonstrate setting up different shot distances, such as a 100-yard shot, and show how the simulator provides data on ball reactions and spin on the green. The segment emphasizes that the simulator is easy to use, even for those who may be intimidated by technology. Additionally, they showcase practicing different lie conditions, such as side hill lies, which are challenging to replicate on outdoor driving ranges. The simulator’s features include adjusting the swing plate for different lies and practicing shots from various environments, like rough or bunkers.

In this segment, the discussion revolves around different bunker mats that simulate various lie scenarios golfers might face on the course. The white mat represents a fairway bunker where the ball sits higher, while the orange or green side mat simulates a greenside bunker where the ball sits lower, necessitating different shot techniques. Emphasis is placed on practicing side hill lies to improve shot accuracy. The video then transitions into demonstrating the realistic features of a golf simulator that automatically adjusts for course slopes and various lies, enhancing the authenticity of the practice experience. The hosts decide to play a hole at Pebble Beach, highlighting key features and strategies for setting up shots, paying attention to the mini-maps for alignment, and aiming strategies to avoid hazards. The segment concludes with a strong shot that avoids the ocean, showcasing the simulator’s lifelike graphics and realistic gameplay elements.
00:12:00
In this segment, the focus is on a golf game where the players are navigating tricky shots on a course with scenic ocean views. They discuss the challenges of different lies and slopes, including a side hill lie, downhill shots, and rough terrain. The players strategize on shot placement, aiming for a TV tower as a target. They use a heat map to understand the slope of the green, which helps in planning shots. A penalty brings one player closer to the green, allowing for a better shot attempt. They also talk about how different wedge shots will affect the ball’s reaction on the green, such as a spinner or a chunk and run.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the participants discuss how the technology reacts to different spins and shots, demonstrating with a nine iron on a downhill lie. They use the green’s contours and a heat map to guide a putt, emphasizing the importance of direction and distance control. The LED putting guide helps align the putt based on the ball’s slope and break, and immediate data feedback is given upon impact. They practice a 30-foot putt, factoring in the downhill slope, aiming to hit the ball with reduced power. The participants are impressed with the putt’s accuracy and realism, and then express a desire to try playing from a bunker.
00:18:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker demonstrates hitting a bunker shot in a golf simulator, noting the importance of simulating real-life conditions by hitting sand first and then the ball. They emphasize the realism of the experience, including how the mat grabs the club like real sand would. Additionally, the video mentions two locations where these simulators can be experienced: one in West Nyack at the Palisades Center and another in Scarsdale on Central Ave. The speaker expresses excitement about the unique and impressive experience provided by the simulators and encourages viewers to visit and try it out.
