    For an extra $99 a year I think its hard to beat WGT and even more if the person is limited to iOS and no gaming PC. You showed a very good example of how understanding the slope, lie condition, wind and green speed will impact the shots around these sensitive greens :) WGT is super critical when it comes to the short game. I think if you were to have studied the 2nd green in the same detail you did the 1st green you would have seen that huge slope behind the pin and then adjusted your chip (21 feet) to where it would have only flown just onto the green then it would have rolled out more closer to the hole. The putt coming back showed 12 inches uphill. Any chip that hits a 12 inch downhill slope is going to keep running in WGT and the putt coming back is always going to be slower than expected. We play tons of head to head matches on WGT and would love to get you into some of the monthly tournaments! Thanks for another awesome video and a honest review of WGT!

    I’ve played WGT on my phone. My average score on all available courses is 67. You have to pay attention to the wind and aim accordingly. When aiming at a pin, keep the distance pin high and pay attention to uphill/downhill. A good example, if the pin is 10 ft away and it’s 3 inches downhill, that’s a 7 ft putt. The reason you missed the chip so badly on hole 2, you didn’t take into consideration that it was 10 inches downhill. You only needed to chip about 2 yards. You’ll get there with trial and error. By the way, my real hdcp is an 8. I think you mentioned on one of your videos that you are an 8 also. Hope all this helps.

    I've only ever played WGT on their mobile app and the runouts on chipping is exactly the same. You almost always have to play short on your approach shots and allow for runout. But I do love the extra that you have to calculate for elevation/wind/rough/sand.

    I have WGT running on an old iPad along with the SkyTrak. I’m unable to hit anything longer than a 5 iron in my set up so thought I could get some fun out of playing a selection of par 3 holes. The experience is limited, chipping a lottery and almost always take the auto putts as attempting to putt will add at least 4 to my score. I’m a 5 handicap so have a reasonable short game, I don’t want to adapt my stock shots and feel for WGT and then have to recalibrate back out on the course. I haven’t played with this as much I hoped as I thought it was a way to help improve my golf, have something that simulates being on a course and ultimately be fun. WGT for me falls on all 3 counts.

      @@GolfSimulatorVideos I think we have to keep in perspective WGT was designed as a phone/ tablet app and its conversion into an entry level simulator product is an affordable entry into the world of golf simulation. I’m still undecided about upgrading to E6 and the additional cost involved. If I can get a realistic experience of being able to play a course once or twice a week during the winter months then it would be worth it.

    Great video! Some questions please.
    1) The skytrak has to be aligned (at least in practice mode) - in the WGT game mode - you touch your ipad to change your aim - this automatically adjusts the aim by shifting the image on the screen?
    2) That bunker shot on the first hole - it looked more like a chip shot (I really don't think that shot would have cleared any bunker - unless you hit it clean) - doesn't the 30/40% lie reduction mean you have to hit it a bit harder than normal?
    3) For the courses - does the pin placement change daily as well?
    Thanks! I really enjoy your videos!

    • @GolfSimulatorVideos
      @GolfSimulatorVideos  3 роки тому +1

      The advantage would probably mainly be iPad could have higher resolution and is a more 4:3 format if you want it but iPhone is more 16:9 so for tv would be better. I think as long as you have a strong connection the mirror is as good of quality as adapter.
