'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

Too many of us leave the golf course feeling dumbfounded as to how hard it is to simply hit the ball straight. When it comes to perfecting your game, waiting for the next tee time with your friends or paying every time you need to practice can feel arduous and ineffective.
To add an at-home resource that you can work with as often as you want, this TruGolf Mini Golf Simulator is on sale for just $200 (reg. $399) through March 24. Running on its E6 CONNECT software, TruGolf connects users using a swing stick to an app on their smart TV to simulate full course matches, practice rounds, training modules, and more.
The weighted impact trainer mimics the feel of swinging an actual club and connecting with a real golf ball. By capturing critical swing characteristics, it can assess your swing and the angle of attack, club face, tempo, and path.
Besides simulating where your ball will fly and then bounce to, helping you play matches from the comfort of your home, the simulator can also collect data and offer analytics to help you adjust and improve as you go.
TruGolf comes with over one hundred courses built into its simulated platform. In addition to that users can also play four different driving ranges, thirteen par three chip-and-putt courses, plus a range of mini-games and training exercises.
