Working on swing changes? Dancin' Dogg allows you to get instant and accurate feedback while working on integrating a new 'move', so you'll be ready to take it to the course.

Sixteen advanced optical sensors accurately measure your club through impact, providing feedback on your swing path, face angle and club head speed, distance carried, flight path and more. See yourself improve and your ball arch closer and closer to your target with each and every shot.

Hit real balls or foam balls, or just practice your swing using no balls at all. With the Dancin' Dogg Golf Simulator, you don't have to deal with ball tethers or iron modifications. . Balls can be struck directly off the turf or off the tees.

Don't spend thousands when Dancin' Dogg gives you so much more for so much less. Don't be fooled by toys with teathers that are not accurate.

I have learned how to self correct my swing using Dancin Dogg and it's improved my entire game. My club face is more square and my swing speed is faster. The immediate feedback has helped me understand my swing better and repeat the good swings more consistently. When I start developing a bad habit I break out Dancin Dogg and fix it within a week. My handicap has dropped from a 28 to a 23 in just 6 months.

Had the sim for about a month now... Built a permanant screen of 5 layers of fabric that will absorb a full driver swing using real balls, and also stays taught for the projector I added for a 9' wide by 6' high screen.. Got a little too excited, a little too early as you will read...
This is set up in a steel storage building with no outside light... No matter how i arrange the lighting down to none(as suggested in the manual) or clean and tape the clubs (fairly new shiny x-20 tours's) I can not get consistant readings of club face and swing path... Speed and distance fairly acurate, but the actual shot shape is far from close... The same half swings all repetitive continuous swings with the club closed derive readings all over the map open/closed .5 degree one time 12 or more the next...
The skinny... I have tried to contact dancin dogg many times and yet have heard back from them at all... dissappointing to say the least... Would say unless you are of high to very high handicap range save your money, you will be dissapointed quickly.. it is maddening to me... guess i will try the pro swing

i usually dont comment on products, but here goes....i bought the swing pad thru the company website at dancin dogg, and it arrived promptly. i had similar problems as the above commenter....i then switched to flourescent bulbs (compact), and now i am getting very consistent results. the instant feedback is like having a teaching pro in your house or garage. the interface with tiger woods is ok but not nearly as accurate as the practice zone software included with the package. there are two sets of sensors 'watching' the club face as the swing is made. the path and face angles can be determined, but the unit can't or doesnt show where on the face the ball was struck (heel/toe)(fat/thin). this is disadvantage in comparison to the p3pro. at the time, the DD was half the money, and i liked the idea of hitting off of the synthetic grass versus the p3pro's rubber mat. bottom line is if you can afford to drop a grand, get the p3pro, but if you on a tighter budget, the DD is great for under 400 bucks. im having alot of fun with it. next golf season will tell how much i've improved.
