Built an app or tool? Show it off here 🛠️

We've been seeing a awesome wave of community-built apps and tools lately — launch monitor helpers, swing trackers, all kinds of creative stuff. Love that energy, and we want to make sure it actually gets seen instead of getting buried in the main feed.

So we're making this thread the home base for all of that. If you built something, this is the spot — drop a description, a link, screenshots, whatever helps people understand what it does and try it out.

A couple of quick notes so this works well for everyone:

  • This is the only place for app/tool posts going forward. Standalone posts elsewhere in the sub will get removed — not because we don't appreciate the work, just to keep the main feed focused and make sure your post doesn't get lost in the shuffle.
  • Feel free to check back in and update your comment as you make progress or ship new versions.
  • Questions, bug reports, or feedback on something already posted here? Totally fine to reply in-thread.

Thanks for building cool stuff for this community — keep it coming. 🙌

Turf for enclosure

I just assembled the 8x10 GoSports enclosure. Now I need to cut my turf to the right size. How much turf should I put under the enclosure before I get to my hitting mat? I’m going to be using the Square Omni (eventually).

More expensive overhead monitor or cheaper monitor for floor and range sessions

Upvotes

I am trying to decide between the older uneekor QED and the Uneekor EYE mini for my at-home simulator.
I know someone that is getting rid of their old Uneekor QED monitor and they will sell it to me for $1900.
Is that deal good enough to keep me from purchasing a refurbished eye mini for $2500?
Reasons for QED:
I am left handed and EVERYONE else is right handed. So the overhead version will keep me from having to move the monitor each time. (Not a big deal, but less of a chance of damaging the monitor when just messing around)
Less expensive of the two options
Above head angle for video review
Reasons for eye mini:
Newer software/hardware
Able to take to range

I am leaning towards the QED but I am
Unsure if I would be missing out on the new tech in the eye. I’ve done my research and it seems like they give the same data points.
I am a little overwhelmed with the research so I’m wondering if you guys know something or have real-life examples of why one is better than the other. Or can I not go wrong with either??
I also understand that there is a chance of lower quality in both since they are both used. Just trying to get some fresh opinions.
Thanks in advance. Hope this wasn’t too much to read.

Yardage on my 6I?

Upvotes

I noticed there was a big distance gap when I hit normalize on the trackman app. I was using hitting at a 5Iron golf simulator, so indoors with half decent balls if that matters.

does anyone know which of these is accurate? one seems optimistic, but I do have about a 110 driver club head speed.

Looking to potentially sell some of what I had purchased. I had a cimarron net infused to have outside that I moved into my garage. I bought 118 impact screen, original Skytrak launch monitor, and optoma GT1080HDRx projector (plus mount). I am now moving and need to sell these (my son took the computer to game). I’m not sure what’s best alternative-I have to think shipping for anything other than launch monitor or projector is almost impossible. I’m

Course Software Automat

Have y'all seen this new browser-based golf sim?

https://automat.golf/

I just saw it on Joe Lagowski's channel, and it's kinda mind-blowing.

It looks like the creator has found a way to automate basically every course. I haven't had a chance to connect my LM and play yet, but I've walked through so many courses I love to play in real life, but they aren't on any sim software.

Hopefully this isn't too good to be true.

What to do with my Sig10 enclosure?

3 Upvotes

I have a Sig10 golf enclosure that I purchased about a year ago and use in my basement. It has the grey premium screen, side netting, landing pad, and sigpro softy 4x10 mat. I also have an mlm2pro with ipad. I dont currently have a projector. We are probably going to finish the basement soon, and there won't be space for it anymore. So, I'm wondering what to do as an alternative. Some options:

  1. Sell it on Facebook marketplace (probably at a loss) and buy an outdoor net instead.

  2. Move it to my garage. I'd prefer not to do this as it would force us to move both cars outside. Also the garage is not climate controlled so not an ideal place to play.

  3. Try to use it outside in my lawn. It's not designed for outdoor use, but I was wondering if anyone had tried using it outdoors with a tarp or other cover. I could either keep it outside and cover it when not in use or move it back inside temporarily. It would come inside permanently during the winter.

I'm leaning towards option 1. I think an outdoor net is my best option but was curious if there is any way to save my Sig10. I live in central Pennsylvania. Thanks

Mevo gen2

1 Upvotes

I am currently using the original square LM. I have realized that i know more lefties than id like to admit. Also, I despise changing the monitor back and forth. So id like to upgrade the overhead units are a tad bit out of my budget at the moment maybe in a few years.

My sim is in the second floor of my garage with a pretty steep ceiling requiring either hand to hit on an offset to avoid the roof. I am looking at a Mevo Gen 2. How wide of an area can it read the balls for both swings? I have more than enough space to place it far back that is not a concern. I am just looking to see if this would work for my needs.

Arcade stick as control box

For those who has an arcade stick as control box, how easy/convenient is it to aim using the joystick with your club? Would you recommend using actual buttons instead of joystick to aim? Thank!

Sim / Launch Monitor Upgrade time r50 or Square omni

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have decided it’s time to upgrade my golf sim. I currently have a gc2 (no hmt)which I connect to my laptop running GSpro. I find it a bit annoying getting going, take my laptop to the room get GC2 turned on, projector turned on, GSpro turned on then use the link by software.

I have also been wanting club data for a long time so looking for a monitor that has that.

I really only use the range and practice stuff in golf sims I’m not that into playing sim rounds of golf as I would prefer to just go play. When I’m in my sim it’s about working on some swing improvements or failing in something I’m struggling my with.

With that in mind I was pretty interested in the garmin r50.

What I like about it is it’s all in 1 unit,so u wouldn’t need to use my laptop and should be much quicker to get up and runnng each session (don’t have to turn on laptop and GSpro takes ages to open, so that would be avoided).

I noticed that the square omni came out and it is a lot cheaper and I am just wondering if it’s worth paying the extra for the r50, just to avoid having to use my laptop.
In terms of what these two are capable of is there any other differences apart from the all in 1 nature of the Garmin? (which is quite attractive, just not sure if it’s worth the $ difference or not).

Thanks for any input of the differences.

if I wanted to build something like this in my backyard, where would I get the materials for this? It’s basically like buying a frame for a small car covering or something like that.

Question for those with retractable roller impact screens

1 Upvotes

I'm considering replacing my impact screen with one of the Carls premium grey ones since my screen is starting to show some wear after 4 years or so. I currently have a Par2Pro stealth 16'x9.5' screen with a sportscreen backing on an automated roller.

I have 2 questions:

  1. Has anyone used the standard Carl's Place or similiar screen with the black boarders and grommets on a retractable screen? If so do you have any issue with it rolling up? I'm a little concerned about the boarders or grommets bunching up when it is rolling up. I am currently having Carls quote me a custom one without this but just wondering if I can use the standard one.

  2. Would I be missing anything if I removed the sportsscreen backing I currently have and just attach the impact screen directly to the roller? I've heard the backing can help with noise and light bleed but not sure if it does or not since I have always just had it on.

Course Software GSPro control box button mapping suggestions

1 Upvotes

Hi Simmers! I looked at various GSPro control boxes and decided it would be way more fun and probably infuriating to build one myself. I have 5 BIG buttons, and 10 small arcade-sized buttons. It looks like most come with just arcade buttons. I want to map the 5 big buttons (about as big in diameter as the head of a wedge) to the most used functions.

Which keyboard shortcuts do you use most often in GSPro?

Technical Question Uneekor renewal?

2 Upvotes

I have the Uneekor Eye mini. I love it I take it out on 2-3x a month and play frequently in my sim. I use GSPRO and I pay for that integration I guess annually.

With all these other apps coming out and community apps can I connect via my GSPRO connector or do I need to buy like an openAPI connector? Can I have both at the same time?

Any drawbacks switching to openAPI? Like lag or features?

Spotlights are in. Much better and not the pin point lights.

Didn't want the small pin lights. But needed something close to it. Ended up getting an adjustable spot light we can adjust how big or small the light point is. Was worried about a shadow but with the lights on in the back of the room its not noticeable.
