The Optishot - we love it!

Most golf enthusiasts are on a never-ending quest to improve their game. From visits to the driving range, endless hours and thousands of dollars spent on pro lessons, and gadget after gadget designed to hone golfing skills, the path to game improvement can be a long and arduous one. With literally hundreds of golf improvement devices on the market it’s not often that a new product comes along with the power to impress, but weekend golfers will be excited to learn that just such a product is now available – the Optishot infrared golf simulator.

With a sleek design, the Optishot swing pad ships along with foam practice balls, practice software, golf course simulation software, adjustable rubber tees, and a generous 10 ft usb cable. The set up is easy, with the quick start guide explaining every step. Once the software is loaded the fun begins, with all the Optishot’s features easy to access and explore.

Unlike many simulators that offer either short game features or a game-like course simulator, Optishot offers a range of features that address every aspect of golf. Starting with swing analysis, a feature that helps pinpoint problems with clubhead speed, heel/toe balance and shot angle with a replay function that lets you assess every shot to improve consistency.

Once the practice work is done, the golf course simulator provides an opportunity to test those newly-honed skills on the course. Featuring simulations of several well-known golf courses from across the USA, the Optishot comes preloaded with courses and ready to roll. Extra courses can be downloaded in the premium courses category.

Good news for lefties – the Optishot is designed for use by up to four players, with left-handed settings included.

The Optishot offers a great alternative to the range and course in the winter months, at the office, or when the drive just doesn’t seem worth it. A great product that really works, it should be making an appearance in homes and offices across the country.
