    Regarding the weight of the controller for golf, I was sitting in church service thinking of this issue (don’t judge). My son has a Swiftstik baseball training stick ($35). It is 34 inches and has the weight of a golf club. I taped the controller to the lower part of the grip and fashined a removable widget to insert to hold down the trigger. Works great. Took the Tiger Woods golf game to a new level.
