Let customers speak for us
Fast shipping, and great price - would definitely do business again!
Everything went perfect! Rapsodo works great and shipping got here within a week for free
Unfortunately the Callaway RPT Chrome Soft golf balls I ordered is no longer being made. Kyle informed me and provided options that was acceptable. You can always depend on Kyle to make it right. Very happy with customer service of GolfSimDepot.
Shipping was super fast. Great packaging and works fantastic. Very accurate when using the Callaway RCT ball that comes with it. Tracks spin and very accurately shows ball flight. I know because I usually hit a fade and the launch monitor lets me know it.
Excellent launch monitor and excellent customer service
Kyle, can't thank you enough. The vx is a game changer! Awsome service and support and very fast shipping! I will shop here for any other sim products I need in the future.
I enjoy the Rapdodo but wish it could accommodate two people while playing courses. Only problem I’ve encountered is that it has a tough time picking up short chip shots. I often have to take several attempts before it senses a hit.
Great product and fantastic service by Golf Sim Depot. Highly recommend both!
I ordered my launch monitor from golf sim depot ant received my order days before expected. I would definitely continue to shop from their site.
This has been an awesome teaching tool with the video and feedback of data for each shot. Has really made a difference with my game.
This our first launch monitor. We set it up in the garage with a net and it works great. Seems to be accurate and my sons have been playing a couple hrs per day. We are thinking about adding a screen and a projector. A few connection issues and it drains the battery on my phone. Hoping it isn't difficult to hook up to a computer and projector so we can keep it connected permanently
When it was discovered that delivery would be longer than expected from manufacturer, Kyle contacted me and began doing everything he could to get it delivered as quickly as possible. He is a great guy to do business with. I highly recommend using him for your golf simulator needs.
Product is really well made. The quality is there. It is my first time using this particular brand and model (carls hot shot) so I figured the quality was going to be good! 2 issues that I will report back on but did not see many people talk about-
1- it is super thick and pretty squishy. It feels like standing on a trampoline. Not bad or good, but you will need to prepare for that, but you get used to it fast.
2- the hitting strip is super grabby. I am saying this after only hitting on it for 2 days so maybe it will start to give a bit. I think it will. But right out of the box it is very touchy.
In the end, it looks excellent, and feels like a quality product. I think once I put some miles on it it will be a top product!
