Impact Screen Substitute

[Dewey]

Hey guys, because my set up may not be able to stay in the current location, I am looking for a cheaper option to hit balls into than the traditional impact screen. At first, I used a heavy duty painters drop cloth, which was pretty decent, and lasted all winter before holes started to form. I am thinking about just getting another drop cloth to replace the current one, but before I do that I wanted to see if you guys had any ideas that you have used if you weren't using an impact screen.

Thanks!

Got the screen up and adjusted for the most part. Put a projector up on a ladder and watched a couple YouTube vids, looks like it’s gonna be a winner. Still have to get the netting up before a bounce back test, then the border. I’ll post pics when I’m done in a day or two.

Projector is sitting atop a 6’ ladder for these pics, and my laptop was doing an update. Still need to paint the surround flat black, get both projectors mounted again, and shim the insert for my new Divotaction mat.

Oh yeah, please excuse the mess. Once I get everything done and cleaned up, I’ll post pics of my new golf cave.

I had issues with bounce back after hanging the screen. After some adjustments all around, it seems to be pretty good now. A golf buddy of mine came over a couple days ago to help me with the lower frame, then we sat down to check out the picture quality watching YouTube videos of Creative Golf 3D. That’s probably the sim program I’ll end up with. Anyway, the picture quality was really good with this screen. I’ll try to get more pics posted after I get the projectors mounted.

Pics update-got the surround painted, both projectors mounted, and redid my shelves for my laptop and misc to get them out of harms way if a ball does go wayward. Still need to run cables and electrical for the projectors, cover them, permanently mount Skytrak, and clean up the mess. I may install my old screen a couple inches behind the new one to help deaden the impact sound and give myself a little more peace of mind when I hit the driver.

its been over a year. How has this worked out? Are you using real golf balls or still the Qolf? Would appreciate the feedback as I was considering something similar.

Still using it, but with real balls now. It’s very durable. Just be sure to use clean balls or you’ll mark it up. Don’t use sharpies to mark your balls either.
