I took delivery of my SimBooth 2 in December 2024.  I wanted a simulator that provided all the swing data along with being both easy to use and a substantial good looking structure.  SimBooth 2 provides all three.  It is quite a solid structure and it takes 4 adults to set it up.  I do not have the experience to handle the installation so I hired an office furniture company that does installs.  This local Sacramento company sent out 4 technicians and over the course of 3 hours, they got it set up.  I do suggest, for the Sim Booth 2, that your room depth be at least 20 feet, the width be 15 feet, and the height 9 feet.  The absolute minimum for Sim Booth 2 is 17 feet deep, 13 feet width, and 9 feet high.  I don't recommend the extra side walls, they are not really necessary in my opinion.

The Good:  The nice thing about the SimBooth 2 is that an arm comes off the top and over the hitting area.  It holds both the Idra 2 simulator and the projector.  The hitting area is well lit by Idra 2.  This overhead setup puts those items off the floor and away from certain danger like an errant ball, someone tripping,  or a wild swing by an 11 year old.  This saves space too.  You do need a gaming laptop or PC.  I chose a PC and just followed the suggested configuration.  The purchase comes with the first year of GS Pro software and a 2 year warranty on the purchase.  GS Pro has over a thousand courses, and includes a driving range  and other practice programs.  I use the driving range the most as it provides data such as heel, toe, and center hits with an exact graphic on where the ball was struck.  GS Pro also provides club head speed and the screen will follow the ball flight and does it quickly.  The Idra 2 does not require anything other than a regular golf ball, with no marking.   The other nice feature is that Idra 2 and Sim Booth 2  makes it possible to putt in a realistic way and chip as well.

The Not so Good:  Unlike the competition, Golfin charges for delivery.  The pallet being 2 tons, it is well over a thousand US dollars to CA.  Second, I cannot blame Golfin for this, but out here in CA there is no way to see a Sim Booth or Idra Simulator or any other simulator in action without getting on a plane to Texas, the east coast, or Canada.  I bought mine on faith based on no bad online reviews, there were no good reviews either.

Be sure you have a good wifi signal, as the program and courses need it to update, to load courses, and for online support.  The graphics are great and you can watch movies or tv on the big screen which is a nice added benefit.

Overall, I think that Idra 2 matches what you get when paying $50/hr at X-Golf, which is our local franchise golf simulator facility.   My 11 year old grandsons can turn it all on, play what they want, and turn it all off with only five minutes of instructions.   I did need support a few times right away after the initial set up meeting, which was great.  The support is quick, online and helpful.  They will take over your PC and fix whatever problem you have.  When unpacking, assume everything is used.  Some matting got thrown away on set up day and that was needed under the hitting mat, which is replaceable as the hitting area takes a beating with your golf clubs.  Danek at Golfin shipped me replacement matting at no charge.  Thanks Danek.

GS Pro comes with the first year at no charge, then it's $250/yr.  I don't know what happens to the Golfin's online support after year 2.

Idra 2 might be the best out there, I cannot imagine one any better.  Our whole family is using it and I use it several times a week just to keep swinging when I cannot get on the course and as an easy way to work on my game at any time of day or night.
