Dear our PRO!
Mr. Roman asked us for a suggestion on what device, at a reasonable price, could constitute the heart of the simulator.
TRACKMAN is out because it's out of budget and too sophisticated.
Could you please create a list of items that take into account the indoor use of the equipment and the beginner player?
