My Dream GOLF SIMULATOR Build REVEALED!!

[@dub-golf]

Awesome watching your channel grow! You have pushed us to create content. And your golf sim room rocks. Congrats!

[@LetsPlayThru]

🙏

[@commonman317]

Gabe, you are so very fortunate to have your new set up. You, and your channel deserve it for all of the work you have put in over the years so far. Enjoy!!

[@gregcochennet385]

Nice start. I’m in the process of installing in my garage right now. Have a net now but will be installing a screen and projector this fall. I went with a skytrak+

[@garyhovey9305]

That was super cool! Really appreciate the step by step and detailed tour! Very exciting stuff and is making me look at my rooms with new ideas!

[@jay17386]

Funny that you mentioned at the end about watching movies and stuff on the screen. That’s exactly how I sold it to my wife! I haven’t even started the build but she’s on board now. Very informative video! Helped out a ton in my ideas for the future

[@Adam-eats]

What a sweet setup. Having something like this in Colorado would be amazing to have during the chilly, snowy winters. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@drumtech10]

This looks so awsome! Thanks for walking us through the process! I just started learning golf this year and hop to one day have a set up like this! Keep up the great content!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Congrats on picking up the game 🙌

[@billomeara5660]

Amazing set up. Thanks for sharing the thought process and the build info. Looking forward to many more years of great videos. Kudos to you, Gabe!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thank you Bill 🙌

[@blakerobinson6891]

well deserved! Keep up the hard work and content coming!

Happy for you, Gabe. No one deserves it more than you!!!!!!!!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks my friend!!!

[@petegalindez9961]

Wow…very cool…Love the Cleveland 588s…I still love mine. Every time I try to upgrade (currently testing the newest Zipcore and Vokey wedges), I find myself just using the groove tool, cleaning up the old 588s and putting them in the bag…they are so good…btw, if your wife ever leaves you, give me a call…I cook, clean, and do yard work…

[@katzsteel]

This is amazing! It was 105 degrees “real feel” in my area today and would love something like this. You have great content and look forward to seeing more.

[@brianmoss9399]

GREAT VIDEO! I have a 3K sq ft detached garage with a very large bay that I’m converting into my sim room and this is pretty close to how my simulator will look - especially with the curtains (thanks for including the specs on that - been hunting for these for a while!) Love the channel!

[@shineboss_melbourne]

Great Video Gab! Enjoy the set up, it looks fantastic!

[@brettjaynes7585]

Perfect timing! I am in the process of getting quotes for my sim room. This gives me some ideas and things to think about when designing my golf room. Thanks!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Awesome, good luck with the build!

[@Hawkeyefan23]

Brett - who are you all getting quotes from? Are they just simulator set up companies or construction is involved too? I am thinking about going thru this process as well but don't think I'll need construction quotes.

[@mcnillerandsons7906]

Every man’s dream. Nice setup. Wish I had the room at home to do the same. I have a 10x10 net setup outside with the BLP and just hook it up to my Alienware laptop. I’m in AZ so it’s super hot but I’ll get a TV setup in the fall when I can be outside longer than an hour.

[@LetsPlayThru]

What type of netting did you go with?

[@jimfoster2011]

Congratulations on getting the project done! Great intro video on putting in a simulator and hitting area!!! I have a garage bay that is screaming for a hitting area and you answered a lot of questions I have on what it might cost and what you need.

[@ShawnyBGolf]

Congratulations!!! Came out looking great! Definitely a perfect golf/KZbin set up!!! Very smart on those moveable curtains to give you different backgrounds and wall protection, like that a lot!

[@mazadona10]

Really enjoyed that and was so interesting to see everything have to consider. As much as i love seeing out on the course for club comparisons and bring able to play multiple shots this is far greater.

[@garymacdonald2596]

That's an amazing set up Gabe. Congrats! I look forward to seeing more videos from there.

[@JT-xs4br]

Give the Wilson d9 forged irons a try! They are incredible! Nice sim setup!

[@gilleonard7378]

Awesome job Gabe. Really incredible work. Looking forward to seeing the some great content going forward.

[@bathman6366]

Was looking forward to seeing this and it does not dissapoint! It will be really interesting to see how dry ball data differs from being on course. Such a great idea to have a dual use as a family cinema room too!

[@akilwalker4578]

Great Video Gabe. A true look behind the curtains! Great advice on using the projection screen for the family as well. hopefully I can get there one day! 🤞

[@duncand1964]

Amazing set up Gabe, pretty sure you’ll get hours of pleasure from it. I moved house this week and my wife has agreed to split our garage (when we’ve moved stuff into the house) into her gym and my sim studio. I’m torn between SkyTrak and Mevo+ but leaning towards the Mevo+ to avoid subscription costs. Would love a GC3 or BLP but really don’t think I’ll have the budget. I’ll keep you posted !

[@gripitripitchipit]

Gabe, very cool. I am planning to do a simulator in our barn and incorporate a bar area and movie theater seating. But currently the barn has open rafters, and I am wanting to fully enclose it before we put the simulator in. Anyway, the only thing I would suggest is to get some foam pipe insulation tubing and put over the exposed framing pipes of the screen. Just for a safety thing, if you happen to hit one a little sideways and it catches the pipe, it can scream back at you. Very cool room.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Good call Mick. And hope you have a lot of fun building your new spot out. Sounds awesome!

[@landon041]

Looks awesome Gabe. Im hoping to eventually get a room set up at my house. Winter brings a lot of snow in Michigan so I need to find something to keep my skills in check.

[@steve337]

Very nice! Congratulations on working hard and building a successful channel.

[@invictusgloves]

That Golf simulator is insane Gabe, great work !!! Can't wait to see all the great content coming out of it !!!

[@Joker-yh2xg]

Awesome video! Thanks for the walk through. Keep up the great videos sir!

[@MG575AF]

Excellent video. Was thinking about building me a setup similar to this and you helped me out a lot. Thanks

[@poondawg]

Thanks for the break down. I’m really considering putting in a Sim in our new home that we are building. This gives me a lot to think about.

[@LetsPlayThru]

My pleasure, good luck with your build

[@jl9752]

My kids love eating popcorn on the floor too! :). Been using an unlock BLP for about 3 months now, it's been a game changer in that I can get a daily practice in no matter how busy I am as I don't have to drive all the way to the range.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yeah the time saving alone is huge. Congrats on yours!

[@Motherhood_Hospital_I-nagar]

Thanks. Superb video. Your projector link isn't working so could you share the model please?

[@mikeachtereekte7910]

Amazing I cant wait to build mine.

[@kjc9293]

That is a great room!!!! Good job!!!

[@Dnb11289]

Subscribed!! Can’t wait to build mine later this year!!!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Awesome!! Hope it goes smoothly. Which simulator do you plan on using?

[@Dnb11289]

Skytrak with E6 connect. Move around a lot from duty station to duty station, currently in Georgia and same here hot and raining. Finally decided to do a big build when I get to Kansas!

[@Golf101inc]

I bought those exact squares for my basement. Super easy to install and replace if needed

[@johndurbin1943]

Gabe, You should paint the phone RED, and put a sign over, and call it the Let's Play Thru Hot Line. When asked about it, you tell people that it's Tigers direct line to you. Or a direct line to LIV Golf, a waiting for them to offer you to join them.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Oh dude, love that idea!

[@PaddyP538]

Congrats! 🎊🍾🎉🎈

[@ricardogalang6823]

Nice job Gabe!!

Top class Gabe - amazing setup. Enjoy!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thank you Damien, hope all is well with you and yours

[@rolandsteele2986]

What’s up Gabe? Man great insight on your DIY golf simulator, appreciate the small details and walk-thru of yours. There’s a lot of learning curves building one of these.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes it was a SERIOUS learning curve for someone like me who isn’t very handy. Luckily I am pretty technical, but it’s also that too. It’s a whole world with these things.

[@markzinda8863]

That is sooo cool! Like Santa’s Workshop! I’d be extremely jealous about your “office” if it wasn’t for the fact that my own Office here at AMPLIFY Clearwater is directly on the Gulf of Mexico @ Clearwater Beach. Might not have the simulator but I have the sunsets!

[@andrewgudgeonobe2721]

Semper Fidelis as the carpet tiler may say. A really understanding wife helps with such projects. We are looking for a new TV in the lounge, the wife gave me a look when I suggested a 16 x 9 screen. An amazing project - well done.

[@LetsPlayThru]

You’re 💯 right! Good luck on the negotiations.

[@rolandsteele2986]

I’ve been waiting on this one!!

Hi Gabe Well done. Also try the Edel sms irons in your search for new clubs.

[@ChiliDippaGolf]

Sick setup Gabe!!! The simulator and the whole building looks amazing! Wow you really had to put in a lot of time and money to get it done but it looks so worth it and very professional. I love the idea on the curtains, keeps everything looking clean and you can change up the space in seconds.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes after years of dreaming it was a solid 6 months of work / saving / more work. So happy. 😃 thanks Mark !

[@davidstewart5039]

Love it! My simulator is in the garage and I used to same excuse to justify the cost by saying the kids will love watching movies in the garage. Looking at upgrading my launch monitor (currently have a OptiShot2, and it's bad). Not sure I can justify $4k with what you currently have...what are the Pro/Cons of the SkyTrack? That's what I'm looking at.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Skytrak is a great option as well as the Mevo Plus and possibly Garmin R10 on a budget. Here’s another couple videos comparing them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gofJoHxuZ7hqgpo and kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5yuepl5rcyFY7s

[@GarageGolf]

Very cool Gabe!! Loving the new setup. What do you say, channel vs channel online matchup sometime?? We can do GSPRO Match Play or something. You’ll have to give me some stokes as I’m about an 18 handicap and you’re way better than me! Lol

[@LetsPlayThru]

Absolutely, 💯. Let’s do it

[@allahalibaba9063]

Telephone in the work out bay is a great idea...and the sign on your door is also classic...When I'm in my hitting bay office and working out, I tell my Girl no calls and no one allowed, except if Jack calls them I'm available....Fly into the Danger Zone....

[@commonman317]

I'm hoping to see Gabe start playing some rounds on his Bushnell unit in the simulator. Play 9 holes testing a set of clubs. Then try another course out, playing 9 holes testing another set of clubs etc.

[@MyweathernetreportsBlogspot]

My grandsons would love to play their MLB video game on that screen 😂

[@LetsPlayThru]

It has become the ultimate video game room. My kids hook up their Nintendo and go to town. Haha

[@glennwatson3313]

[@user-oy7hg2wi9k]

@@LetsPlayThru ok awesome! I may try that. I have my net 1 foot away from the wall but can’t get it tight enough to prevent the ball from hitting the wall. I think building an enclosure for a impact screen may help tremendously.

[@chrisimes478]

Surprised you are you using the Monster Mat in that nice room as it throws and leaves little green slivers of mat ALL The Time all over the place! I like my MM, but man after a session or two of hitting it's an absolute mess with all the pieces of green that have pulled off the mat, onto the club then off the club again after hitting more. I would 100% keep the MM I think (though I am actually not a believer in it being great on the joints, it's a harsh jolt) if it wasn't for the 100 little green bit everywhere after a session of hitting and being a bit hard on the joints. I am thinking of returning and going with a more easy on the body SigPro Softy 4X7 setup and it leaves zero green on the clubs or makes any mess. That being said, AMAZING setup dude, I hope to have a spot in a new house down the road I can do this in. Great Job!!!!!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks Chris. To be honest I haven’t had any issues like you described with my mat. Definitely worth giving them a call and chatting about it I would say.

[@simgolf503]

Nice build. FYI, If you cut out the simturf under the mat it will recess it for a better look and will not walk after every few shots.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks. What tool do you recommend for that?

[@simgolf503]

@@LetsPlayThru A standard carpet blade. Set the hitting mat exactly where you want it then cut up against the mat for a snug fit. I should mention that my main turf is 1/4" tall and sits on top of 1" foam flooring. My hitting mat is 1-3/4" tall so it sits 1-1/4" deep and cannot move. You should consider how thick your simturf is before you cut it. (if it's too thin and it will still move)
