I'm beginning to think the sensor they use at my local Sam Sneads is not the best. I really think what it picks up for the shape of the shot is terrible. It reads the predictable draw as a push fade. It actually becomes frustrating and I usually find I have to aim way left, and lose distance because the fact that it reads it as a fade. It was not just me either. Anyone I know that plays there is of the opinion unless you hit a straight ball, it is not real great.

So it may depend on the simulator. Personally I feel I get a more accurate read with the $200 launchpad I have at home. My wife feels the same, and it is actually just as enjoyable when we hook it up to the TV. It sounds like it may work out well pretty soon also. We were planning on getting a little bigger TV (35") for the Living room and putting our current 27" down in the basement. It appears my wife is now maybe interested in a bigger LCD for the golf simulator more than anything else.
