Impact screen tension

[Alex.Morgan]

Hi All

I have just erected my impact screen. Its secured with eye hooks and bungees. I guess it will depend per screen, but should it be pretty tight?

Currently i think i need to tighten the tension as you can see creases in the corners and its making a louder noise on impact. Almost like striking a rug very hard and an echo. All the setups ive seen on here seem to be pretty tight. My ball just drops to the floor even with a driver, there is no bounce back at all.

Or is this literally just trial and error?

It's whatever gives you the best projected image while keeping the ball from hitting the back wall or flying back at you. I'd imaging the tighter you have it, the quicker it will degrade (by not allowing some give and stressing the material more than a loose assembly).
