It’s only 150 from 10 feet at 4:3 is there way to get to 175 from that distance

At 10 feet wide by 9 high (4:3), the projector will sit at 9'2" to the screen with the projectors max zoom. However, are you sure about how bright the image will be? Proj central cautions it would not be bright enough.

That projector is plenty bright and very popular with sim golfers. The most important thing for a good image with any projector is preventing ambient light from hitting the screen. No projector can overcome a screen that's lit by ambient light in the room - you'll have washed-out blacks and low contrast.

Just going off of what projector central calculator mentioned. Appreciate it is not the best and is subject to their computations, but it did note to be careful. I was surprised as well to see a 3000 lumen projector in the red, but did want to caution.

The studio pic at the bottom of my site at https://gunghogolf.com is a 2,200 lumen BenQ HT1085ST on a 14x8' screen - it wowed just about everyone who saw it. Have since upgraded to 4K and 16x9' (just to try 4K), but I loved that little projector. BenQ is conservative on their lumen ratings. Controlling room light is paramount.
