Appreciate the time you put into these videos. It really helps us in this small but rapidly growing sim community. Water and lighting are next level. Impressive but not sure the overall package is enough to move away from GSPRO especially when considering the price points between the two.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Yeah I would say water and lighting is a highlight for sure. Software will always be personal preference. But, I would be lying if I said many people I talk to don’t have multiple software. I would almost expect people to have both based on many I talk to. Gspro is solid and Apex will continue to develop and it will be fun to see where they all are even in the next year!

[@dalelangner3845]

Hi Jay Really enjoy your reviews. I'm looking forward to your review of the R50. Thank you

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Yeah hoping to have one soon. Garmin seems to be avoiding my review haha

[@kennyb8718]

E6 Apex seems to be out now for a whole range of launch monitors. Are you planning on doing some videos soon with other launch monitors including cheaper LMs like the Square? It would also be good to see the quality of some of the on demand courses.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Yes, I will do some coverage using other integrations. I just have certain projects that take time and I try my best to prioritize. Thanks

[@JackPorter-k1x]

Awesome videos as always, Jay! Does anyone know if a current On Demand course list is available? Or can anyone confirm if Shennecossett Golf Course in Groton, Connecticut has been loaded? Thanks!

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Thank you. I’m trying to get a list from them. It’s so many courses. Hopefully they will publish it on their website and make it easy. I’m sure they’re assuming most people would just search the database in the software, but if you’re considering getting it or not, that would be another thing.

[@JackPorter-k1x]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos Thanks. I do plan on getting it in January when my E6 Basic expires. I am really curious if Shennecossett in Groton, Connecticut was already available. Thanks again!

[@Nate710]

Great video. I thought this launch monitor didn't need club stickers for the club metrics?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

It does not, these are advanced club metrics previously not offered. :)

[@jwheels9876]

Awesome video! Been waiting to see the quality of the on demand courses. Looks like they’re pretty highly rendered at least. I don’t need the courses to be 100% accurate as far as a tree here or there to be happy playing every course in my area. Do you know if they’re still going to charge the big upfront license fee for the software and then the sub fee on top for Uneekor? It would be nice if it were just like $300 or $600 a year total for a sub with no huge upfront license fee. If you wanna try a great course, try loading up Lake of Isles North in Connecticut. Hole 2 should be amazing if rendered decent anyway.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Thanks! More to come. All of the pricing is going to be subscription no special licensefee fees $150 practice ranges, mapping, fitting and challenges. $300 play with all courses, and enjoy $450 everything. You can continue with e6 subscriptions and $600 gets e6 plus apex full.

[@jwheels9876]

@ that’s awesome news! I didn’t want to have to buy a $1200 E6 sub before handing over another 3-600 for the extra stuff. Can’t wait for this to drop. Keep the vids coming !

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

@ yep, I agree one of the first things I asked!

[@chrissmith9422]

Hey Jay. It looks like the total shots is combined E6 connect and Apex. I just looked at the data in the portal and it gives the combined total but separates it so you can see what shots were in what software.

[@blainetsukayama4513]

Jay, so is the apex a different subscription or combined with e6 connect?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

It can be separate or combined. The $600 year expanded gets you all of both.

[@blainetsukayama4513]

@GolfSimulatorVideos thanks Jay. Any idea when it will be released for uneekor or launch pro

You could just leave the ocean hole on with should, those are lounge chair in your sim and hang out by the beach all day. Lol Looks nice. Hopefully Uneekor comes out soon. Wonder how online and league play will work as that is so big on other sims like GSPro and even the old TGC. E6 had awful online leagues at least when I played them. Looks like this might attract people back.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Yeah that ocean feel with the sun setting is impressive for sure. UNEEKOR integration slated soon they are hoping by public release next week. I’m going to look into the online leagues and p2p.

[@ErikNHKrafft]

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Graphics look solid for sure. I have to say though they are pretty unique in my opinion. But obviously everyone gets their own feel for graphics.

[@juhakahilainen384]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos Is the uniqueness in your opinion due to the green colors being so yellowish? Seems to me they have on purpose leaned towards that kind of green shades.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

@@juhakahilainen384 Part of it is colors and also textures too. Sometimes I will say software gets too saturated. With Augusta being an exception not many so perfectly green plush grass haha :) Most interesting part is time year, what would be REALLY NEXT LEVEL is if someone could let you change the season from spring, summer, fall and it would adjust tree leaves, grass color etc. That would be pretty cool!

[@chrissmith9422]

Hey Jay. Did they say if they would give more courses for the basic plan or so far it seems like they will be sticking with the same kind of pay scale

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Sounds like the play version or the enjoy will include ALL courses premium and on demand. I was told Play suite, so courses only no ranges, club fitting, or bag mapping but you have on course practice that is $300 per year subscription. Then improve only, so ranges, club fitting, and bag mapping including the challenges and coaching videos, that would be only $150 per year. Then if you want it all $450 per year. No more course bundles.

[@bruceparrett8805]

Thanks for the great content Jay, I have long considered you the authority on sim golf in the US. Any idea when this will be released for Skytrak +, and any idea how much it will cost, Thanks

@ thank you 🙏, no date on that but a long list of launch monitors coming soon. I’ll try to get the details. Pricing as follows. $150 yr practice ranges, fitting, mapping, and challenges, $300 year basic range and all courses. $450 yr for all apex. You can get practice stuff and e6 connect for $300 year or all apex and all e6 for $600 yr.

[@VoodooZ]

Looks great but after experiencing so many issues with their tech support on E6 and the price gouging for old courses I'll stick with GSPro. Once GSpro upgrades the engine we'll get the same with 1200 courses. Great option for Commercial users though.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Everyone always has their personal preference. GSPro is a nice software for sure. I do think they will both stand apart though on look & feel from what I have seen, mainly due to totally different graphics engines. Excited to see all of the various software continue to evolve!

[@KeithMoon13]

Do you know if the calculation for terrain penalty has changed at all? That and the number of courses are why I pay for GSPro and don't even have my e6 courses installed despite the fact that they came free with my Mevo+. From what I remember, it's just a straight percentage (eg; I think it penalized you 7% of your power for a fairway bunker, and that was it; made fairway bunkers almost not a concern) change depending on what your lie is in E6, and GSPro has more factors that go in to different lies for their calculation. If this graphics improvement comes with a likewise improvement on those terrain penalty physics then I might need to install E6 again and try it out before my basic subscription I bought with my Mevo runs out.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I will reach out to them about the penalties, I have not discussed this yet. Stay tuned :) Thanks for watching!

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I will say this, I like the penalty system on GSPro, but I would rather see what my power and spin reduction is. I can tell what my lie looks like outdoors and have a very good idea of what the outcome will be most of the time, why practice by guessing indoors? Just my two cents lol :)

[@KeithMoon13]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos I agree, I wish it would straightforward tell you what your spin and/or power penalty was going to be, like it does with the lie angle for the slope on the course. I'd even be happy with it if it gave you a bit of a range, but still told you, like maybe it's a bit of a rough like and it says there's a 5-10% penalty in play allowing them to keep their element of "random" that some of their users prefer intact. All of this software can be improved, and I will say the improvements to the graphics and the features included in Apex look worth the look, especially figuring as I paid for the E6 subscription in May. The computer I use for simulation has a 1TB hard drive though and I've pretty much filled it with GSPro courses as it is, which is why I ask about the gameplay, because if Apex is an improvement over Connect in that regard (even if it's not the same as GSPro) I'll feel like it warrants more of a look at re-evaluation and it might even change my mind as to which I keep subscribing to going forward next summer.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

You can easily delete courses on GS pro. I rarely have more than 40 downloaded.

When is the official release? I downloaded it now with skytrak and just practice mode. Also i currently have the 300.dollar sub. Will that get me all courses?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I discussed this in the video. Slated for next week. The $300 basic e6 subscription will keep e6 connect and give you apex practice with bag mapping, fitting, ranges and challenges but no course play. Course play is $300 apex only course play, $450 for apex practice, fitting, bag mapping, challenges and course play, or you can do full apex and e6 connect for $600. It’s a little confusing, but it gives a lower entry level for practice only on Apex and also Apex courses only.

[@mr.celebre6533]

​@@GolfSimulatorVideosthat's unfortunate that they wouldn't at least give the course play until my current basic sub expires seeing as though I just renewed 4 months ago. They're asking for another 300 now. At least grandfather in the current connect subscribers

[@mr.celebre6533]

​@@GolfSimulatorVideoswhat do you mean switch? Like I have the option of shifting that sub to just the apex course play and not connect?
