A brand new Indoor Golf Simulator from Q Motions

Hard to find: Sells for $350.00

I’ve always kind of enjoyed computer golf. I played my first game on an Apple II, with a green and black screen back in the 1980s. And even though the graphics have improved, the technique has always been the same: line up your little guy on the screen; tap the keyboard or mouse to start the swing, tap it again at the top of the swing and then tap it at the bottom. Tap too soon or too late at either the top or the bottom and you get a bad shot.

The Q Motions Indoor Golf Simulator  takes you out of that paradigm. You just hook this thing up to your computer and use it, instead of the keyboard to control your swing. You can use actual clubs, and—according to the manufacturer—the game will react to your actual swing.

Here’s what they say:

QMotions-Golf™ Active Game Controller replaces the game-pad controller with a swing-arm assembly and electronics that translates your golf swing and ball impact into the ball’s flight, speed, and direction - directly into the golf game on screen so you see how you hit the ball - giving you the feeling of actual play.

Most golf video games are intensely accurate except for one little thing--clicking a mouse or a game controller feels nothing like swinging an actual club. That's why this full-motion PC game controller from QMotions is such a thrill. The device, which consists of a golf ball, a swing-arm assembly, and a swatch of artificial turf (think driving range), reads your actual golf swing and translates it directly into the video game, so every killer cut produces a straight-down-the-middle drive, while every duffer swipe ends up in a nasty sandtrap (or worse). The controller is ideal for golfers who want to add excitement and intrigue to their favorite golf vids, or for folks who want to work on their swing mechanics without heading to the practice range. As a further enticement, the controller comes with a PC copy of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004--the golf world's best-known title.

The controller's circuitry may be sophisticated, but the concept is simple: each time you swing a club, the device recognizes your swing speed and measures your club head's directional impact. It then interprets the information, predicts the results, and translates it onscreen, so the ball flies with the same speed and direction it would in real life. The controller is also sensitive to different club head speeds, so it knows whether you're swinging a driver, a fairway wood, or a short iron.

In other words, you're rewarded (or penalized, depending on your skills) for whipping out a driver for a tee shot, a wedge for a short pitch, or a long iron for a punch shot. Should your playing space prove too small for swinging woods or long irons, you can also elect to play all the shots with a short club, and the software will make the appropriate speed and distance adjustments as though you were using a longer club.

The QMotions controller makes practice much more fun than using a swing trainer or a plastic putting toy, as the results of each swing are displayed in high-definition splendor. Another bonus is the Swing Statistics mode, which lets you track your swing mechanics and improvements over time. At the same time, novice golfers needn't shy away from the controller, as it includes several levels of difficulty, from expert mode for longtime golfers to rookie mode for newbies.

Perhaps most enticingly for the hardcore golf fan, the controller is compatible with all the championship courses on PGA Tour 204. The only thing better would be an actual free round at St. Andrews, Pebble Beach, and Pinehurst, but this is the next best thing. Your only limitations are space and computer power, as the QMotions controller needs an 800 MHz Pentium III PC running Windows XP or better, with 256 MB of RAM memory. In addition, it helps to have a 128 MB video card, as the controller is graphics-intensive.

So whether you're looking to improve the shortcomings of a weak overall game or you love the idea of swinging away during the cold winter months, the QMotions full-motion golf controller is a must.
