The indoor studio has a simulator and a two-camera system. The simulator means that children can see their ball flight on a screen. Also, there is an option to play on a course. Juniors really enjoy the course option. The two-camera system means that children can see their swing from a face-on camera angle and a down-the-target line camera angle. Juniors enjoy seeing their swing on video and it helps them improve their swing.
