Spectacular boost in golf scores and swing accuracy thanks to virtual reality equipment.
Summer's here, and your wallet might be crying as you pay for that round of golf. But, fear not! With virtual reality (VR) at your fingertips, you can practice your swing at home without breaking the bank. In his latest column, our Senior Content Producer, Nick Sutrich, dives deep into the world of VR, offering insights on the latest hardware, games, and upcoming technologies.
One such offering is the Meta Quest 3S, a budget-friendly VR console that packs a punch with thousands of games — including Golf Plus and Walkabout Mini Golf. These games let you swing a virtual club using your own arms and motion, while offering a cost-effective way to master your game. Plus, with the Meta Horizon Plus subscription, these games are surprisingly affordable.
There's something undeniably satisfying about the feeling of a golf club in your hands when you're out on the course. While playing with just a controller does the trick, it doesn't quite capture that authenticity. In the realm of VR golf, we've been playing regularly since 2016 and have tested a fair share of golf club attachments since then. Our collection would make many Wii collectors envious.
We've noticed that our scores have significantly improved since we started using a golf club attachment consistently, and our performance dips every time we leave it behind. After much testing, we've narrowed it down to two must-have picks for your Meta Quest 3 or Meta Quest 3S.
YOGES Adjustable Length VR Golf Club: $29.99 at AmazonGrip onto reality with the YOGES golf club for the Meta Quest 2 and Quest 3. Its simple attachment method keeps your controller securely in place, and the adjustable length ensures a perfect fit for all players.
Why settle for virtual experiences when physical objects can deliver that extra level of authenticity? Whether you're a golf novice or a pro, YOGES has got you covered. With an adjustable length ranging from 51cm to 74cm, this VR golf club can accommodate players of all ages and heights. Plus, it's not just for golf! Adjust the club length to play tennis, baseball, and more.
If you're serious about mini golf, the YOGES golf club is still a great pick, but if you're truly dedicated to Walkabout Mini Golf, consider FormX Design's Grip-To-Putter 3. Jointly developed by FormX Design and the makers of Walkabout Mini Golf, this club boasts an ingenious design that perfectly translates the grip-to-putt function found in the game.
Simply press the trigger on the handle, and the grip "finger" at the end of the cable holds the grip button on your controller, allowing you to benefit from the grip-to-putt option while swinging your club. From crisp shots to immersive experiences, this accessory delivers! Grab the Grip-To-Putter 3 for just $53.99 at formx.design. Be sure to check out the latest Walkabout Mini Golf course, featuring crystal magnet play mechanics and the fourth entry in the Evil Lairs series. It's a must-play experience that you don't want to miss!
