Impact Screen 101

[Bubba22]

The impact screens for golf simulators are critical for its realism. The ideal impact screen will be durable, project well and not have a big bounce back. Most folks will have their sim room double as a theatre room so a good quality projector and impact screen are important. The impact screen may be flat, curved or have 3 screens to present a simulator surround experience. Full swing also has a Pass through screen that is very cool.

Most screens are built with an enclosure or stand alone. often side panels or netting is used to prevent stray balls from doing harm as well as cosmetics of the room. Make sure the screen is loose to prevent any big bounceback.




Certainly one can make an impact screen however various companies make high quality screens.

If I am putting up a mesh baffle behind my screen to help deaden the ball. What is best to help with the projector image? Black mesh or white mesh?

black will provide a better picture quality due to less bleed through

I haven’t been able to find anything about ambient light rejection. Any of the manufacturers offer ALR impact screens for use with shorts throws?

If you want to save a lot of money you could just use a net. Sheets are also cheap and can be used. Real impact screens have different qualities. You can get an impact screen that is lower quality for pretty cheap. I would check around here and see if anyone has anything for sale. I know I saw a guy selling a couple of screen the other day

I've read a ton of bad things about optishot, if you go on Facebook marketplace, you will a see a ton 9f them for sale because people just weren't happy with them

If I hung carpet loose from a beam would that take the impact of a driver without rebound, just wondered if anyone has tried it
