I have used mine a fair amount all winter since I got it in September of 2020. But I must say for 7 months of use the top of the screen is very warn and getting very thin from all the irons and spin. I decided to flip the screen so I now can abuse the what was the bottom and now is the top. Should add some extra good life too it. But if this thing only last round a year and thats flipping the screen around that could be expensive getting a new one every year. I may look for another cheaper alternative that I can sew my velcro myself around the edges.

I received mine in July 2020. It is not wearing like yours. It seems to be holding up just fine. I play at least 1 round every day

I am having the same issue as you. I’ve had the Sim since September and the front screen, that thin white sheet, looks dented and gashed. Looks terrible. When I called foresight to request a replacement they quoted around $700. To me, this is a warranty issue. There is no way the screen should look this worn using brand new Pro Vs only considering the little time I have spent in it. Very disappointed and would love to purchase an alternative and frankly never purchase anything from foresight ever again as their customer service is hands down the worst. All they want to do is try and sell you additional things.Originally posted by nfear24 View PostI have used mine a fair amount all winter since I got it in September of 2020.

My screen has not ripped yet or torn but can tell its getting thin at the top from irons. I have come up with a solution for now. I just removed the velcro from the top of the screen using a stitch ripper to remove the thread and then took the velcro and sewed it on the bottom of the screen. Then I flipped it over and removed the side and tightened it up to remove the middle sag and wrinkles. You can see now the bottom of the screen where the irons were all hitting. Not noticeable when projector is on. Now I have fresh screen on the top to hit into. I should of taken a before picture but I will try and find one. I have been researching raw material to get down the road possibly for about $180 to $200 and will just sew my own velcro on instead of paying the $700 for a foresight replacement. I also use high quality good pro v1 and figured I would get atleast 2 years out of it. I know the forums say not to use Prov1 but nothing in the foresight manual or material say anything about balls to use.Originally posted by markrookiesim View Post
