What's up guys welcome back to golf simulator
videos we have a wild video for you today we're here with a vr golf simulator so what
it actually is is it's this oculus quest 2 vr headset i have it connected to one of the
controllers are connected to a real golf club all right grip and we're going to play the golf plus
golf simulator software from oculus and it might not be from oculus probably from a certain brand
because it's actually sponsored by topgolf and pga and pro put but it's inside the oculus library
everyone keeps asking me you know how realistic is a vr golf simulator uh you know how accurate is a
vr golf simulator well it's virtual reality it's not real golf right so i mean i'm sure it can get
close but how close can it actually be well i've only been messing with it for a few minutes but
i'll tell you what this thing's pretty amazing so let's go ahead and launch our software i
want to talk about a few things as we get going i'm in the gsv studio a huge golf simulator i
have plenty of room make sure if you're going to do this you have plenty of room i actually drew
a border that's your safety net if you were to walk out of that or leave that it actually stops
uh you know it actually lights up so you have to have a big space so it doesn't stop in the middle
of the game if you're swinging outside of that um i noticed that was a big deal i'm also casting
my video and audio to my computer it's going to be a lower quality than you guys are seeing you can
see the logos there from topgolf pga et cetera but i want to make sure you guys know that the audio
and video are coming to the computer via wireless so they're going to be lower quality but i thought
it'd be a better experience showing a wide screen and everything there were a few different ways
to do it and i thought that would be the best so i'm actually going to uh go to the menu because
i was actually out on a course messing around so first thing first let's go to practice
and i'm just going to go to the clubhouse all right so we'll go to the main
clubhouse for golf plus and then from here i'll do some driver we'll do some chipping
some putting but like look how crazy this is so like here we are i can actually recenter
myself this is really cool how you do this so now i'm re-centered i'm looking at the range i
have this menu why is there a video playing well i'll bring up the menu really quick and show you
there's a full-blown media player inside of here it's crazy you can play all different playlists
of things you can listen to golf lessons and watch golf lessons like watch if i turn this
up i don't want to get a copyright strike but so let's turn this up for a second hit play
like you can literally watch your favorite like you know music video and everything while
you're going so i can mute it and leave it going i just don't want to get a copyright strike for
uh you know any of the audio so um so here we are we're out at the range first thing you want to do
if you're using a grip like this is go to settings go to controls go to custom if
you're using a custom one like i am and it allows you to basically set up and
make sure that everything feels normal and once it does you just hit trigger and you're
good to go all right you place your ball down like this and grip it and rip it really
you just can't swing super fast if i ever miss it in the video you'll know that i was
swinging too fast is what i found because it whips the controller too fast but let's
just go ahead and make a nice smooth swing looks like a little bit of a fade
or slice there what's it doing i'll see i swung plenty fast 171 ball speed but
now here's where it gets interesting everybody talks about realism and everything
like look how crazy this clubhouse is i can warp all around i'll show you
guys things that's really cool so just you know hover over for a new ball let's go
ahead and close the club face a little and try to swing a little bit from the inside can i
straighten this thing out or almost draw the ball i'd say i corrected it pretty
well another good one 168. all right let's do one more i'll try
to close that club face even more and see if i can get this thing maybe
even working a little bit to the left there we go i mean this is crazy isn't it you can
see the club face and what i'm doing um so you can warp around you can actually like go over here
i'll show you this golden bear you can you know walk around there's like always different things
and you know different areas and stuff like that but let's go back here and let's go down to this
little practice facility all right perfect that'll be like you know it's kind of a difficult short
chip to show you i'm going to pull up my menu i'm going to select lob wedge and i'm going to place
a ball down somewhere like here all right and i think i'm still oriented decent you can always
re-center yourself by holding a which i think is something to to know and understand so if you
look up it shows you how far everything is 30 feet uh it's uphill a little bit there and it's
breaking you know right to left so let's say you wanted to just do like a little chip almost
like a bump and run see what that looks like i knew it was going to run way uh way to the right
that was pretty close but let's say you wanted to do a little more of like a flop so i opened
my stance up i open the face up is it going to read this properly is the question oh yeah
it is a little too much we can try another one ah still a little too much this is where it
comes in where you're gonna have to understand you know the actual speed that the clubhead's
going so probably something like that there you go isn't that crazy though
you can control the face and the ball goes different ways let's aim a little bit
this way now and do a little bit of a flop i just need the ball to kind of go start that way
a little bit i mean this is just wild just wild so chip one right at the pin here
oh gotta go harder than that see how the low one actually doesn't
take off as much as the high one does there we go oh right at the pin so i mean i just
think that's amazing like let's say let's say we wanted to hit one farther out 26 yards out
there a little more of a normal chip 26 yards just a little too far this is crazy all right
i want to go out and play some real golf i want to show you guys what this is all about um
so i can clear shots if i want to there goes all the balls and everything but let's go to
menu let's go to single player there's your topgolf range and everything i mean this
is a lot to show you guys in one video um i have it on practice mode because i was out
checking some things out so it's on practice mode and i was looking at hole two i thought it'd
be the perfect one this green speed fast i feel like it's way too fast i'll show you guys but
let's just go ahead and start go out to the hole and play a hole for you guys and then we can
adjust things or show you something different but i don't want to make it a marathon video i
always try to keep them realistic links i want to give you guys this first look at vr
you know golf simulators but i mean this is crazy you're going to have to get used to it
all i've had it for an hour you know i'm kind of getting used to everything but um so my ball
is not perfectly centered what am i going to do i'm actually going to just kind of set up and
i'm just going to hit this button to re-center and then now i'm completely re-centered and
i'm good to go so i need to swing away this is a part 5.
I got to get this thing down there
so let's make a good swing not too fast of course oh i didn't close that face down though but at
least i got it down there and that's not too bad i only carried 240 but it rolled way out so i got really good roll out you can actually
go up and see the ball rolling and finishing so that's where it finished i'll try to do that
sooner on this shot and you'll be able to see let's go ahead and make sure this is where i want
it all right i can just hit this v center looking inside yeah we should be good um now if i wanted
to aim i can hit b and you can actually change where you're aimed it's right at the pin right now
um let's say i want a little more spin on that so i could just kind of go to high spin let's say i
wanted to kind of fade it in there just a little bit well i could just hit fade a little bit and
fade it in there and let's see how this goes let's go all right 176.
It's a 185 club so
that's pretty good to hit the fade in there oh man that could be really good why didn't i
hit the thing to watch it i forgot to hit it we'll play another one so i can show you guys you
can actually follow the ball in the air from like up above not a bad shot so this is for eagle this
is where it gets tough though so i'm going to look up at 17 feet you can see it's breaking right to
left watch how you have to hit a 17 foot clutch it's not the easiest in the world
17 feet saw how it was breaking look at that it was way too much
because i kind of like yipped at it so i can follow the ball rolling down this is
this is where it gets tough is the putting in my opinion so it's 12 feet it's a tiny bit
uphill there's the break just got to get smoother with the putter i noticed if you
like kind of like yip at it it hates that oh i nailed it that was for birdie so
that was a much better stroke you know for the speed of the green so it's that
sensitivity it's not that it's unrealistic i feel like it's more like the sensitivity um
so i can go to a new hole now let's uh here's a par three let's check out a part three i want to
show you guys what it's like flying so um i got a 162 club it's only 151 and it's downhill so let's
pull this up again and let's hit a fade in there let's make sure it's a high spinner all right
big old fade and let's see if that's the play i'll remember to hit the targets or
my trigger so you guys could see it hit that trigger look it from up above i can let
go and i can hit it again and i can even hit it again oh and see it checked up that's a pretty
good shot i think i'm getting used to this i mean i only have 20 some swings under my belt here but
i think i'm getting used to this hit my trigger again to go to my ball it's a downhill putt 15
feet breaking just a little bit to the right all right i know how i have this this just
sensitive very very sensitive this is crazy go in oh that was just a little too hard i
think it had a chance i can make this though 5.4 feet was that cottonwood flying around
look how you can look around the golf course isn't that crazy so i got my music video
playing smart little marshmallow 5.4 feet and what is that it's kind of right at it trigger
to hit make sure it's activated before you go let's make this let's make this for car boom nailed it made par so birdie and par i'd
say that's pretty sweet all right i want to show you guys topgolf because this is crazy
the only thing about topgolf is that you'll you'll find is you can't use a custom controller
it must be just like a different piece of the software because i just went in there really
quick to see it and it took me through a tutorial and the club was was not right so i mean i
could hold it up here and show you guys see and i can hit a shot just to show
you but see i'm holding it up here but look at this this is crazy isn't it they
have cornhole you can go over there and you can play cornhole and stuff um i mean this
is wild so let's just hit a shot really quick i just can't use my grip so it's really
kind of weird oh that wasn't bad though now check this out just just like topgolf
you just wave it and it comes back down try to hit one more this is a
little difficult there we go oh almost in the center see how no balls coming
out wave it there it is so let's go back to the clubhouse now i mean there's every look at
this the island pitch pong that's what i was talking about you can go over and do different
things they have practice top pressure top drive i mean this could be a ton of fun and you can play
with other people online so it says join with room code you can create a room or they could join you
there's pro pot and then there's uh the clubhouse i can show you guys pro plot really quick um so
it takes you out to another piece of software essentially called pro pot and it's kind of like
a putt-putt course so it'd be great for like kids and family members and everything like that so
um this is what it looks like welcome to pro putt i really have a beautiful day in the course
wait can't wait to get you out there i mean first let's take a minute it definitely needs now choose whether you'll be putting right-handed
or left-handed hit the trigger with the controller let's go ahead and pro putt uses only one
controller yeah please set the left so i haven't gone through any of this so essentially
i mean it's gonna take me through all this so i'm gonna hit my oculus menu i'm gonna go to quit
and it's gonna take me back to my oculus kind of home base i didn't really show you guys around
this but that's the home base so if i wanted to go back to golf plus i could do that right there
but i figured i would exit out um i'm going to leave this on because it's my microphone i took
it off the very first time i was testing this out and i noticed the audio was gone so this has been
vr golf i mean a vr golf simulator i can't wait to hear you guys think i'll be honest with you i'm
impressed i mean it's pretty cool it's fun i mean i could see how this could start to get integrated
more is it real golf i mean no you don't have a golf club you're not hitting a ball but you saw i
was adjusting like face angles and everything and this is crazy i mean it gets people in the golf
you know more environments uh you know interaction things like that people want to play real golf
i love it for that i mean i really do so comment below let me know what you think i appreciate the
suggestions that everybody sent to you know cover a vr golf simulator i mean it is a golf tech
channel and so anything golf tech we're going to cover so i mean always make those suggestions
