Is there anyway to prevent impact wrinkles/sag in the middle impact zone of screen. Not a huge deal when screen is on but still noticeable. Mainly bothers my OCD.
I placed a mattress behind my impact screen and have seen no impact stretching/dimples. There is also a reduction in sound when the ball impacts the screen. I know others on here have mentioned placing a second screen, net, or drapes/curtains behind the screen as well. If you use something black it'll make your projected image look better too.
Careful on the black. While I have not seen an issue, I have read that some have seen the black from their backup screen transfer to their projection screen.
I have the Sim in a Box eagle package. There is a screen in front of a heavy duty net and then black cloth behind that. What kind of screen you have? My screen isn't very thick as its the netting behind that actually stops the ball. The screen is very stretchy though.
Adrenaline yes I placed a twin sized mattress behind the screen centered with my aim point on the screen. It has helped a lot with reducing bounce back of the ball after impact and has also greatly reduced the sound of impact on the screen. I used some black nylon curtains behind the screen to help with the look of the projected image- that material is between the screen and mattress.
Some screens do that more than others. Not much you can do when it happens. I see that a lot on Foresight screens.

I use a nylon tube filled with sand on my screen, just sewed a pocket in the bottom of the screen and put the tube in there. Sand does not let the balls bounce back at you if you hit the tube.
I like that idea. Because if I lightly pull down on screen it disappears. What screen you have? Wonder if any side affects long term for screen with a little weight on bottom . Wouldn’t think so I guess as the top and sides are firm.
nfear24 I have the Par 2 Pro SQ, I haven't had any side effects that I have noticed and I also backed off on the amount of tension on my bungy cord on the sides.
Wow, BG, that screen looks so nice and tight! Does it stay that way?
I love my screen, but I need to spend some time on it to get it tight again and see if I can make it stay. I have the All Sport Systems Super Bay, so different than yours.
I also did the sand thing after reading about it here a while back (possibly from BGCurtis lol). At first I used one of those flexible garden hoses and it worked okay but then I just got some PVC pipe, filled it with sand, taped off the ends and wrapped it in foam insulation. My screen came with sleeves so I just put the pipe in the sleeve. Does a nice job of weighing it down and keeping the screen nice and flat.
