Which golf simulators are used by PGA tour pros?
You may be surprised to note that not only do professional golfers get out on the green as often as they can, but they also use golf simulators in the comfort of their own homes.
Whether it be to brush up on putting skills or to master a tricky shot, PGA tour pros use golf simulators primarily to get feedback. The sensory technology, as well as the state-of-the-art software used by golf simulators, helps them to improve their golfing in real-time – with instant data available on the angle and accuracy of each shot.
PGA tour pros benefit from this data, as it helps them to become better golfers in the off season when they don’t compete. It also gives them the opportunity to ‘practice’ on world-renowned courses, giving them the ability to analyse their swing and understand the weaknesses in their game.
There are a number of different golf simulators used by PGA tour pros, including:
Foresight Sports GC2
Full Swing Golf
High Definition Golf
Golfzon
These golf simulators are quickly becoming popular for golf enthusiasts- now allowing for the same tech-informed, targeted improvement for regular golfers, without the need for hours on the fairway.
Gone are lost days due to poor weather, or evenings wasted during the dark winter months. Non-professional golfers just like yourself are now able to make vast leaps in skill, precision, and confidence by putting your relaxation time at home to better use!
Trackman golf simulator
Undoubtedly, one of the favourite golf simulators used by professional golfers, such as Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Sergio Garcia, and Justin Thomas, is the Trackman Virtual golf Simulator – which has also featured in the US Open. Created by industry leaders in golf simulator production in Spain, more than 300 PGA tour pros use the Trackman Golf simulator to refine and simplify their game.
As one of our flagship golf simulator products here at Black Box Golf, the Trackman stands out as one of the best golf simulators on the market, as it benefits from input from some of the world’s best golfers and coaches. This expertise ensures the professional’s game can be improved through DNA mapping of each and every swing.
Replacing the need for acres and acres of land and 18 holes, the Trackman can be placed in any room around the house – and even in the garden! As long as the room is approximately 5m wide and deep, and 2.5m in height, it will easily house the Trackman golf simulator.
This allows for a distance of 0.30m from the wall to the screen and 2.5m from the screen to the tee. With around 1.9m of space behind, the user can rest assured that they won’t be hitting anything behind them with their club!
The Trackman golf simulator can also be set up outside, taking advantage of the Spanish sun. By using the same distances outside as you would inside, the perfect set-up can be achieved. With an auto-leveller built into the Trackman, it doesn’t matter if the ground outside your property is uneven - this golf simulator will still perform.
Puttview golf simulator
Here at Black Box Golf, we have also partnered with Puttview, the ideal golf simulator if you want to perfect your putting skills. As the world’s best in putting green design and implementation, the Puttview golf simulator uses the latest technology to analyse putts and identify where improvements can be made.
Having the ultimate putting experience at their fingertips, PGA tour pros can massively improve their game, finishing off their golf simulator experience to a tee!
It’s not just limited to professionals, though, as the Puttview golf simulator can be used by anyone. Described by the Golf Channel as “Bryson DeChambeau’s secret putting weapon,” you too can now focus on improving all aspects of your putting.
With specialist features that focus on everything from the direction of your swing to your power control, the ball speed to personalised daily practice plans, train alongside the stars in the comfort of your living room and see how far you can improve.
Zen Oracle indoor putting stage
Black Box Golf are also pleased to have teamed up with Zen Oracle and their indoor putting stage, which features innovative technology that puts the golfer in control of every shot they take.
Professional golfers have given this Zen Oracle indoor putting stage their endorsement, and personally use it to develop the extra skills they need to make an impact on the PGA tour!
Despite what the name may suggest, the Zen Oracle is suitable for both putting and full swing golf training, with precision accuracy of up to +/- 0.1% when setting custom gradients, allowing you to practice on sloping lies of all types.
Renowned for its ultra-realistic feel, the indoor putting stage will help you master the courses of the world, no matter how much they undulate and peak, as endorsed by European Ryder Cup icon, Ian Poulter.
