changing up projector need assistance

[aeroburner]

right now I have a projector that is set at 18' for screen and am wanting to move to the optoma 1080 or ben q 2050 or 1085. the reason I am switching is the pixels are very visible with pushing 18 feet out feels like a 480 at best thinking that if I go to a short throw that the pixel count and clarity will increase. so here is my situation I need to be 6 feet to mostly fill the screen. with no zoom capability where it goes is where it goes, I have a protee with the putting sensor which is taking up that floor install space and the light is right above it, so my question is this, for me to install a optoma 1080 with the protee what have others done please help on this I might have to go to the ben q 1085 instead which is a good unit but have heard nothing but raves for the optoma. the 1085 goes back to 10 feet to fill the screen in which I can ceiling mount. I would rather go with the optoma if someone can help me figure this out it would be appreciated

I love my gt1080 but the lumens count is not as specified. If you have alot of ambient light in the room you may want to consider another option.

no ambient light except for the halogens for pro tee just can not figure how to place it

I have mine hanging from the ceiling directly outside of most swing planes. I have had some close calls with ball contact on flop shots but no direct hits as of yet.

yeah that's what I am worried about I hit top of my frame with a ball and the rebound almost took my head off

Hey man, I bought a Optoma HD28DSE darbee (couldn't pass on the deal), wondering if you still have your projector mounted at 18'? Projector central says I should have it mounted 13" above edge of screen. The image will be 140"(11.67') x 79"(6.583') @18' away.
Question, when shooting are you in the way causing shadows on the screen?
I'm assuming the image should start around 1' from floor + 6.583' screen size +13" offset= 8.67' and I'm 6'2" and stance mat is around 3" high. A little worried that I'll be in the way.
Any advise would be helpful.
Thanks!
