FAQ'ss

Will every iron shot I ever hit go exactly where I want it to go? No. From time to time, just like the pros, you're going to open your hands, grip too tight, drop a shoulder, get too aggressive or commit any one of the many other mistakes to which we're all subject. What WILL Dancin Dogg Do? It will make those errant iron shots less common. When they do happen, it will help give you the skills and confidence to recover in a way that will save you strokes. It will help you become a more accurate shot maker and shaper and improve your course management skills. You'll hear the phrase Golf shot! more often from those you play with and against. What makes Dancin Dogg different from other golf simulators? The difference is, with Dancin Dogg you can set up iron shots you KNOW you're going to encounter in real life. Then, after working on these shots you can bring your new techniques out into the real world and watch them literally take shape. What if Dancin Dogg Doesn't Make Me A Better Shot Maker? It will. But, if you don't think it has, send it back within 30-days for a full refund. What if I'm Someplace Where I Can't Swing a Club? With Dancin Dogg you can still get real shot making learning-value no matter where you are. The product is programmed with virtual what if scenarios. Put the ball where you want, select a landing area, aim and then enter in what if I use a 7-iron and what if I hit it at 80MPH and what if my club face is open 4 degrees. Then shoot. It doesn't replace the value you get out of actually hitting the ball but it can still help to give you a better idea of what is required to make the shot. Why The Focus On Irons? Iron play accounts for about 70% of your game. All shots are important but by focusing on the irons we were better able to provide a more pinpoint accurate technology without having to compromise for driver plate shapes (which wouldn't then apply to the irons). Irons are the tools that get you out of the trouble a driver put you in. Irons are the tools that determine how long the putt will be. They're the magic wands of the game and the more skill and confidence you have in them, the lower your scores will be. What are the best lighting conditions? The device uses infrared technology to reflect off the sole of the club. The ambient lighting should be as low as comfortable to ensure best results. The light sources with the lowest infrared content are florescent and compact florescent bulbs. (Those are the cork screw looking bulbs.) Halogen is also high in infrared light and can interfere with the device. What clubs does it work with? Since the infrared reflects off the club as smooth reflective surface provides the best results. Curvature in the sole plate of the club can cause problems. Because of this the best results are usually achieved with clean reflective irons. How do I try it out? If you want to try it out then take advantage of our money back guarantee .

However, you can hook up your computer to your television to provide a larger screen of the golf action. Most computers have a S-Video output that you can plug right into your TV. How much room do I need for the Dancin' Dogg Shot Making Simulator? You need to be able to safely swing a golf club. All of that depends on your height, the steepness of your swing and the length of the golf club. You should try taking some swings with a shaft or a stick the length of the club you intend to use to see if a space is suitable. Tell me what fun has to do with golf? The best golf usually happens when you are tension free. Laughter is one of the best ways to release tension. We at Dancin' Dogg Golf believe that all good things come from hard work and having fun. Where are the sensors located? The sensors are on either side of the tee, just beyond the grass pad. Is it possible to break a sensor? We have done extensive durability testing, using a mechanical golfer we call Mr. Destructo, and have been unable to break a sensor. Mr. Destructo has simulated year's worth of really bad swings without breaking a sensor. If you somehow find a way to break a sensor, despite our best design efforts, the entire unit falls under our 30 day Money Back Guarantee as well as the 180 day Limited Warranty.
