Hi Guys!
You are all freaking awesome - I have been viewing this forum for over a year and I'm finally about to pull the trigger and a garage sim room. I have a handful of questions but I don't know where to start, so I'll give you the low down and hopefully you can fill me in.
I have a 3 car garage that I'm using the single car side for a sim, that said my functional space is about 9'x9' and about 20' deep. Here's my breakdown and with a few questions:
1) SkyTrak w/ protective case & TGC
2) par2pro HQ2 or west coast netting pr20 (not sure if I want to spend the extra $$ on HQ2 for image quality - thoughts?)
3) Black Canvas Tarps for side 'curtains' and ceiling cover for wedge shots - http://www.canopiesandtarps.com/6x8-...vas-tarps.html (3)
4) CCE Golf Mat or Truestrike (I read about possible issues with skytrak and Truestrike, while CCE users report CCE can be tough on wrists - any other suggestions/comments?
5) My biggest dilemma is the projector. I'm thinking I want the projector right above my head so I don't damage it by hitting balls into a short throw that's just 4 feet from the screen. I have room behind so I can run the projector 10'+ from the impact screen. As stated at the beginning, my screen size max is 9'x9' and more likely it will be 8'x8' or 9'x8, so if im 10' back I should be using a 4:3 for that size? I'm having a really tough time figuring out the best combo here. Thoughts on ST vs regular? Thoughts on protecting the short throw? Trying to keep costs on the projector ~$700 or less
Total budget is around 5k
Thanks for everything guys I'm so stoked on this can't wait to get it up and running but I want to get this right on the first go around.
Best,
Eric
