The DancinDogg Optical Swing Pad golf simulator

by Paul Miller posted Jan 17th 2006 at 4:07AM

If you've been looking for a way to get your golf on this winter, minus an alley way and a few broken windows (not that we are knowledgeable of any such incident), you might want to check out the DancinDogg Optical Swing Pad. The device is all set to help you simulate a game of EA's Tiger Woods PGA Tour '05, or just tell you how much your swing sucks with the included training program. The pad hooks up with USB, has 16 infrared optical sensors, and "high density Astroturf" to give your tee and the included foam golf ball a home.

[Thanks, Hank]

How cool is this, it comes bundled with the Tiger Woods PGA Tour '05 game!

I took a picture of a similar product at the London Golf Show last month...

There is a small club attached to a box on the floor by two cables. The club is really short, so you pretty much use it anywhere in the house.

I don't remember what it was called, but it didn't feel all that natural (due to the super short club).

Fantastic. Can you use your own clubs with this? Just need to find somewhere with enough room to swing it, I guess...

It's only $400 at http://www.dancindogg.com/ :(

But yes, you can use your own clubs.
