How golf simulators offer key insights that can be utilised in real-life play

Golf simulators are a fun and innovative way to bring the world of golf to your doorstep… literally! Allowing players to sharpen their skills and fine-tune their golf swing with great accuracy, they’ve taken the indoor golf training world by storm as technology has advanced over the years.

Today, virtual golf simulators are used by countless players the world over, with some of the biggest names in the sport having their own virtual golf setups at home, so they can practice with any golf club they like and prepare for their next big game any time.

But even though golf simulators could be seen as a gimmick that’s used for little more than some entertainment on a Friday night with your golf-loving friends, in actuality they’re a key tool that can help improve your game on real-life courses drastically.

At Black Box Golf, we’re home to the state-of-the-art Trackman Virtual Golf Simulator, and offer ingenious Trackman products to our loyal customers, so they can perfect their swing from the privacy of their home, office, or any space they choose. 

So, if you’ve been looking into golf simulators and are yet to take the plunge, here are just some of the advantages you’ll see after using one when you finally step back onto the tee again.

The advantages golf simulators can offer you on the course

In-depth swing analysis

Historically, the only way we’re able to make improvements in our golf game is to get out on the course (or driving range), hit as many different shots as we can, and take note of what went right or wrong. We keep doing this over and over until we see the improvements we need and try to stick to this form over a full eighteen holes.

While this method of fine-tuning has been successful, it isn’t always the most efficient. In fact, without knowledge of specific swing metrics, it can be difficult to know exactly what needs to change in our swing to produce the perfect shot. Is the clubface too open on impact? Are we injecting too much torque on the downswing? Or are we simply choosing the wrong club for the shot at hand? These things aren’t always clear.

But, with a golf simulator - like the Trackman Virtual Golf Simulator which utilises a hi-tech launch monitor and Doppler radar technology - players everywhere can gain access to information they never would have had otherwise, after taking their very first shot. 

With the Trackman Performance Studio software offering in-depth insights into everything from ball flight and swing speed, to loft and even ball spin - using the Trackman Virtual Golf Simulator will give you all the data you need to see precisely where you’re going wrong. From there, you can use this information to make quick and educated alterations to correct your form, saving bucketloads of time and effort on the real-life course.

In other words, the solution to lowering your score could start before you ever even lace up your golf shoes.

More practice time

Unlike some sports which can be jumped into and out of with relative ease and speed, playing golf takes a lot of dedication. Without playing a full eighteen holes pretty regularly, players can’t possibly hope to reach the heights of the sport they desire and perfect their swing to the best of their ability.

Sadly, in many instances, work schedules and social pressures don’t allow enthusiastic players to squeeze in a full round, no matter how much they want to. This relegates golf to a weekend outing once in a blue moon, which isn’t enough to truly master the sport as most would wish.

However, thanks to the Trackman Virtual Golf Simulator, avid golfers always have the opportunity to play a few holes, or even a full round, without needing to pack up their golf clubs and head to their local course. By eliminating the need for travel, they can save a lot of time, and even the busiest players can still manage to hit a few golf balls and work on their swing. In turn, this added practice time will only help them keep their scores as low as possible when they finally do make it to the course.
