The bright wedge issue:

Currently, it cannot be guaranteed that small chips with bright faced wedges will be detected.

If the issue persists, you'll have to use dark colored wedges or apply the new supplied sticky back matte black stickers to the wedge face.

in order to prevent inadvertent shots when teeing up or waggling the club over that ball.

So here it is:

Press the space bar to pause the system. Press again to restart the system.

You can also opt to have the system automatically pause after every shot in the Setup panel

You can also use a USB foot switch that is assigned to the keyboard's Space bar to pause / un-pause the system with your foot

Hi Martin, I just wanted to drop you a note to say how amazing the new VisTrak camera is.

I am still playing around with the settings and learning but the video capture and being able to see the frame by frame impact is awesome!

I also really like the way you show the ball ready/playback buttons as an overlay on the TGC.

The best part of my day is going to the tech page and seeing your latest updates - keep up the good work!

I could have bought any of the expensive and well-known golf simulators, but I’m glad I ultimately took the chance and bought your products.

It wasn’t an easy decision, as it takes a leap of faith to take the road less traveled, but it has made all the difference.

I love that your products are not perfect (no one's are) but that you strive for perfection while pushing innovation.

You’re clearly never satisfied. As soon as you develop a new software feature, or build a new camera system, you're immediately back at it working on the next iteration.

You’re a true inventor and engineer. Almost every day I download the latest beta and see how it enhances the simulation.

Sometimes there’s a marked improvement. Sometimes the new feature “breaks” something else.

But over days and weeks, I feel how the collective innovations are improving the overall experience.

Your products aren’t for everyone but they are a clear alternative to the high-margin corporate products that have an arm's length association with their user base.

Buying a GSA product is buying into you and becoming part of your user community.

You listen, you care, and you explore. I know many of us appreciate it but perhaps not enough of us say thanks.

Martin, thank you for an enjoyable and rewarding journey with your products in 2020.

Hello Martin, I have had 2 weeks of excellent play and stability in Eagle Mode! This has been very enjoyable! Matt T.

Hi Martin, I see your daily updates on the Tech News page and I just want to say thank you for all your hard work and dedication.

I appreciate the excellent customer service and fair pricing! And the very informative website!

These days, when I'm not developing golf simulators, you'll find me in my keyboard music studio
