OptiShot2 is a fun golf sim that also improves your game

If you have creeping doubts about your golf game, there's a sim that lets you swing real clubs in your house. Yep, your pets and furniture will need to make way for the OptiShot2, which gives you online play, simulated championship courses and instant practice feedback. You hook it up to a Mac or PC, download the software and swing away. The infrared sensors accurately track your swing while the simulated courses and online competition add a gaming-like fun factor. But is a lot of money for a video game and sensor, so I want more than just fun; I also want to get better. Luckily, the OptiShot delivers both of those things.

To kick things off, you install the OptiShot2 software on your PC or Mac, download the courses and plug in the hardware. The company recommends a minimum 8.5-foot-high ceiling, though you may need more than that -- if you're tall and want to swing a driver, a 10-foot or higher ceiling might be required. You can optionally calibrate your clubs and tell the system's auto-caddy which one to hand you for a given distance.

Once you take a hack with or without a ball, its digital counterpart will accurately slice into the rough or power down the fairway. You can fine-tune the settings for more wind, higher rough difficulty or faster greens, to name a few options. From there, just play the course as you would in real life, hitting drivers, irons, chips and putts.

The system does a good job of measuring your swing, with a few exceptions. I compared it against a Zepp swing analyzer, and it matched the swing speed and clubface angle closely. As with the Zepp, I was hitting drives about 250-260 yards, and deserved any slices or hooks it gave me. That feedback forced me to make the necessary adjustments to avoid spraying the ball all over the digital links. When I did go to play on a real course, I found that extra concentration helpful -- on a driving range, it's too easy to just turn your brain off, since there's nothing to play for.

The OptiShot2 picks up center, toe or heel contact, but not "fat" or thin shots. That's because it can't measure the height of your club above the sensor, so a real-life "topped" shot might look just fine on the sim. It also means chipping isn't very realistic, as face contact is critical on such shots. The simulated putting was reasonably accurate, however, according to a comparison I made with the 3Bays GSA Putt. In any case, the OptiShot2 can't help your putting or chipping much -- those two disciplines have to be practiced on a real green. Having them work consistently makes the game more fun, though, especially with head-to-head play.

If you want a more realistic playing experience, it's doable -- for a price. A sum of 0 will get you an octagonal mat, raising your feet slightly and giving them more grip than, say, your hardwood floor. There's also a 0hitting net that you can bang real golf balls into for extra feel (and danger), along with plastic tees and foam balls.

You can set up online games and invite up to four friends for stroke or match play (offline games are also possible). This is just as amusing as it sounds, although you're trusting your pals not to fudge the settings. You can play on 15 included courses, or buy extra "Platinum" tracks at bucks a pop. Amusingly, the company added a course called "Sweet Magnolia," a course strikingly similar to The Masters' Augusta National layout. In fact, many of the courses are facsimiles of real-life championship layouts with the names changed, possibly for copyright reasons.

On my first simulated OptiShot2 game I failed to break 100 and I'm a 14-handicap, so that was embarrassing. But that's just the point: By accurately tracking your swing, the system forces you to bear down and play better. After shaking off a bit of rust and grooving a better motion, things started looking up and after about 15 games, I shot a 75 at "Sweet Magnolia."

Then came the acid test: a real golf course. I played my first real round of the year and lo, I actually scored decently. So, the OptiShot succeeds on two counts for me -- it's super fun, and it helped my full swing by forcing me to practice better. It can't help your short game much, but the chipping and putting simulations are good enough to keep it fun.
