Quietest screen option

[binisha]

After reading through a ton of posts one of the remaining questions I have before building out my setup is what screen is generally the quietest as that is more important to me than perfect graphics. I know that to truly soundproof (or come even close) takes a ton of effort/money/planning and I'm more of on a DIY budget for a mevo+.

A couple of the options I had looked at:
impact screen (from mill or normal sources)
Sawdust mesh
Archery netting

I thought I had seen that the netting is pretty quiet but wanted to see if I could get some concrete answers around my options

A net is much quieter than an impact screen. So you can hit into just a regular hitting net and mount a TV to the side for your image. If you want something as quiet as possible, that's probably your best bet.

Much of the issue with sound is not from the ball hitting the impact screen but from the driver hitting the ball.

Hit driver with Almost Golf Balls

So if you think about it driver shots have lowest launch angle. What I did was I just put net on lower front part of my impact screen. So it wont mess with your image but this only works if you have projector on the ceiling.

I placed my screen far enough from the wall to be able to prop up a mattress behind the area of the screen where the balls would impact. It made a huge difference in noise and also reduced bounce back.

You could try what Bazooka Joe posted. I think it is compact and would reduce noise greatly. Hanging memory foam closely behind the impact screen as opposed to fixing it to a wall should help
- absorb more energy
- move the screen closer to the memory foam
- improve screen durability
- improve image quality

You could also try buying a new driver lol. Some drivers are just louder

great idea!

Does this catch the hybrids/longer irons also? Assuming noise is a minimum as the ball doesnt hit the impact screen at full force? so just the noise of the club

[justbringit51]

I could hit up to 6 iron and net will catch it and there is no noise. 7 irons and up hits the impact screen but not as loud as driver or wood.

really good - i think i might do similar in my setup. Thanks for posting

I think the net there would bother me. Perhaps rigging hanging foam towards the lower part of the screen but still behind the screen could mitigate enough sound
