[@SuperDelphinidae]

Unsure if it's been mentioned but the rubber end should have a screw down cap with interchangeable weight discs to tailor the "club" for each individual

[@hysellplay]

Had no idea - thanks!

[@JohnnyLawBMC]

You guys do such a good job. An honest opinion and how you deliver the content is like a conversation you are having with me. I got this game because of you guys and I have found, I do like it. Played my first game with a kid, about 8 years old in Ireland and he helped me understand some ins and outs of the programing as well as, we had a blast. I need to get the stubby because I am in an Airstream and already hit the ceiling 🤣. Nicely done guys, Nicely done

You guys should highlight the “swing analyzer” feature in their practice mode. I’ve never understood the swing path/open face numbers as well as I did after a few swings in that mode. Legitimately super helpful. Made changes to my swing based on that feedback that carried over to a golf simulator. (When the weather warms up, I’ll see if it translates to the real world.)

@@connectlogic That is probably because that club has a serious design flaw that causes them to break after a while. I know because mine broke. Supposedly they are redesigning how the controller is connected to the club. As it was, it was connected with two screws through the fiberglass shaft that weakens the shaft and it will eventually break - as mine did. I have replaced it with a different one.

Don't forget that the tee is on a elevated platform, which why your shots end being longer by 10-30yds on average.

[@My-Hero-]

Once I get golf plus I might grab it. Right now I’m still on walkabout mini golf.

[@ChiliTomatoNoodle]

The mass for the DriVR might be more, but when swinging what matters is the moment of inertia, which is a function of both the weight and the distance from the axis of rotation. DriVR is shorter than a real club, so a heavier weight would offset the length difference and equalize the moment. Why not just make the DriVR longer? Not everyone has 20ft ceilings :]

[@GizmoMaltese]

I was looking for this comment. You can't just do a weight comparison without considering the length and moment of inertia.

[@deadeyevirtualreality]

Fantastic video review and thank you for covering our product! To address the point about the total weight in the video: another comment assumed correctly that the higher weight is to compensate for the reduced length of the DriVR Pro. Because of the reduced length, more mass is needed to create the same feeling that a lighter longer golf has 😊

[@Golficity]

Thanks! Appreciate the clarification 🙌🏼

[@malakaai9744]

@@Golficity also for driver distance. You can reduce the power in settings to accomadate their own stock yards. Reduce the power to 80% as the default driver is set for 300 yards at 100% power. You reduce your clubs power bar when selecting clubs to get a truer range of accuracy of distance. Eg. My driver all the way to 9 iron are set at 80%. My short wedges are set between 85% and 95% for my love wedge.

Thank you for the video guys! My son has the original Oculus VR. Can I use the new setup with the Oculus? I suppose I need the controller, handle and the app?? Thank you, Dean

[@craigfoster354]

While the average wedge (heaviest club in the bag save for some ridiculously heavy putters) weighs around 470g, the average driver on tour weighs only 330g which slightly more than half the weight of the DriVR + Oculus controller. Would have been nice if DriVR had included two or three different weights to screw onto the shaft end, e.g. one for wedges, one for mid-irons and one for woods. I wouldn't mind changing the weight with each shot if it was easy and made it more realistic.

[@christyward9400]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@pastuh]

So I'm user of this, and I want to mention: Club weights 452g without accessory which must be attached (to hold your controller) Acessory weights: 145g Club with controller: 750g No one can play with such weight :) You must trim off weight for sure.

[@raymondconaghan4314]

Does the new VR weighted version set up for a left handed golfer?

[@MrDominic152]

Would it not make sense to move the controller closer to the grip to negate the feeling of extra weight?

[@jessecrump7594]

they should manufacture screw on and off weighted ends to match te average different clubs.

Hey guys any tips on hitting the ball straight in vr golf. I have a deadeye attachment. Thank you

[@joebultman6462]

I bought the attachment because of your review but I have mixed feelings about it. Yes the weight and swing feel are dead on to my real clubs, but I just can't get over the way it feels and looks at address. It feels like the club is much lower in the game, like if you turn this "y" 90 degrees to the right. I understand why, because the controller is off the shaft and under it. I have a screen shot of a guy on KZbin that show exactly what I'm talking about if you want to see it. Now the first Deadeye was perfect because it was at the end of the attachment, a continuation of the attachment if you will. Why didn't they just make that more heavier? Now with that being said. Am I missing something, is there an adjustment that I don't know about? If I am...please let me know. Otherwise this was a great video...Thanks guys. Joe

[@markgessinger7273]

where can i get that control cup holder that can attach with dead eye vr. i looked it up their website and they dont have it. Umm! love that ideal

[@martyboysation]

the weigting is more because the thing is shorter, thus making the swingweight much lighter then a fulllength golf club.

[@davidroseitg]

it's shorter so with the same weight will be less leaverage so the extra weight on shorter club may result in similar feel

[@CurtisCooper-zs2nn]

[@laronda10]

I wonder if they'll ever integrate XR tech with this game could completely upend simulators if done right.

[@areaxs1019]

I believe it’s heavier because it’s shorter then a golf club giving a more similar feel to a club without making the controller club to long where it’s hard to play with a short roof

Plus there are built in calibration settings that may not change in the game. So putting it on your club may cause problems.

[@bernieceo]

Would love to see these get on a swing weight machine and see how the two models compare to a real club

[@KyleReierson]

For sure. With a real club and most of the weight being further away the swing weight will be higher, maybe why they didn’t account for the controller for the total weight. I just got my clubs bent 2degrees flat which essentially made my clubs a little longer and even with that little amount of length I could feel the diff in swing weight.

[@Mooremoney989]

I've tried the club attachment. It's really nice to have a real grip and swing. But I slice and push nearly every shot. So I've had to fix my club face 30 degree's inward and set it to pull 100%. But still I struggle. This isn't a problem I have on the course very often. So I'm left disappointed. Any suggestions?

[@romemac1380]

The main question is will my controller go flying off and breaking my picture frame or is this thing securely mounted enough to withstand the speed of a swing

[@Rfcdesign1986]

i did some of my own tests using an old cut down driver shaft, attached the oculus controller about half way down, and then added weight to the bottom end of the shaft to make it the exact same weight as my 7 iron using scales. when swinging it felt a LOT lighter, even lighter than my 60deg wedge that has a graphite shaft. this must be because the shaft is shorter and the weight is closer to me. i kept adding weight to the bottom of the shaft and closed my eyes and took swings with my 7 iron and this rig until they felt exactly the same. in the end the vr shaft needed to be alomst 200g heavier to feel the same as a 7 iron when swinging.

I have a great experiment for you to try! Attach the controller to a real club, go to an actual driving range and tee off with the same club irl as in the game... try a few shots with a few clubs. and we can see how the game shots compare to the in real-life shot. Even if this is a complete failure, it will be the best illustration for the masses that want to know how different the results are. If you want to take it a step further. Once you have a club well calibrated to the IRL tee. You could get some amature golfers to hit a few balls too. I would love to see this and I'm betting many viewers would find it very interesting too.

I'm new to golf and I felt like the weight and feel of the 1st version was messing me up when I picked up a real club. I don't have enough muscle memory of good technique to not automatically transfer the feel from the accessory to my clubs at the range, so the time I spent in VR made my real life game worse. That's really saying something at my level of play. Does this new version feel close enough to a real club to actually use as a training tool?

[@RolandDobbins]

Yes. I’m a new golfer, too, & my experience parallels yours. This one helped. I think I prefer the Yezro YS13 with the 90-degree angled controller cup, though.

[@dandaluz1]

Fellas, fellas. I just got this after waiting like 10 weeks for it. You guys are awesome. I appreciate the reviews and the videos are always great. Very thorough and informative, but I gotta say this thing is horrible. It’s heavy as hell. I swing p790s with stiff 105gram dynamic gold shafts that aren’t exactly light and this controller setup felt like I was swinging a mini sledge hammer. They made it way too heavy. When I first took it out of the box and swung it a little, it felt great and I was pumped to try it. As soon as I put the controller on it, forget about it. To be fair, if you’re swinging a pitching wedge in the game it will feel kind of ok, but as you get longer with the clubs it gets heavy. Forget about woods. The driver felt really weird. No driver is that heavy. Not even close. I’m afraid this thing will screw up my real swing. The old controller setup I had was too light and that messed me up for a few real rounds. I can totally see this deadeye controller messing with my timing and maybe even hurting my wrists. I don’t want this thing. If anybody is in Hudson county, NJ, lemme know. I’ll sell it to you for 40 bucks. Less than half of what I paid (85).

[@clayfleming6286]

I would imagine the heavier total weight was intentional to reach a realistic swing weight with the shorter length.

[@auth7046]

The reason why the weight of the driVR is more than a club is because of moments, its simple physics. try closing a door with you hand really close to the hinge, its harder right? As the driVR is shorter, you need more weight to get the same moment. Therefore the 600g is justified and is most likely intended.

[@davidleslie1127]

The VR stick is on a much shorter lever arm. So, they probably did account for the added weight of the controller. Since it's on a shorter shaft it would need to be heavier at the tip in order to "feel" the same net effectively during the swing as your PW. Waggle your PW, and then waggle this VR stick back-to-back, and my guess is that will feel approx. the same - but - it won't feel exactly the same b/c of the shaft length, and also the way in which the weight is applied @ the tip (density of a clubhead vss. a controller, etc..., wind force, etc...). Anyway. The entire point is to say b/c it's shorter it should've been slightly heavier to account for that.

Echoing some of the other comments around the lever arm. Torque = Mass x Distance, and since we're trying to simulate the torque at the wrist to get the right "feel", you can play with the equation. This new attachment is shorter, but with more weight and a different CG to attempt keeping the same torque. Rough Calc estimating center of gravity for each scenario: Real club = 0.452 kg X 0.67 CG multiplier X 0.889m (35" club) = 0.27 kg-m torque Rough VR setup = 0.605 kg (controller + club adapter) X 0.8 CG multiplier (further towards end) X 0.609m (24" length) = 0.29 kg-m torque
