    ceiling room for a tall guy

    I'm 6'5 and looking at building a sim in my garage. Ceilling is 8.5 ft, is this too short?

    All I care about is hitting a 5 iron and under

    Probably by the time you get a mat under you. Depends a lot on your swing plane though, upright i would say no go, flat maybe doable. Stand on a 2x4 laid flat and it should give you an idea real quick.

      Your personal swing plane and path is going to have the biggest impact. I'm 6'3" and have 8'9" of ceiling height in my garage. I can swing every club including driver, and although tight I can swing freely. Occasionally I make a bad swing and get steep with the follow through(usually when I come in over the top) and I scrape the ceiling with the bottom of the driver. I also have a buddy who is 5'10" with a steep swing and he only feels comfortable hitting irons. In the end, your best bet is to take out a club and make some full practice swings and see what happens.
