GC hawk hitting zones

[SimGuy555]

In the process of building my sim. I have a 7.7’ x 13’ screen and a GC hawk. Few questions-

1) at the recommended 9-10’ between ball and screen, i feel like shots with my 56 degree will hit the ceiling before the screen. Am I crazy?

2) is there any reason a righty couldn’t hit from the left handed hitting zone? If i hit one off the toe I could see it completely missing the screen to the right

I don't have a Hawk, but I asked this same question a while back. I think the answer is if a righty hits from the left zone, it should work, but everything in your stats will be backwards. Thus, if you hit a hook, it will measure as a slice. I wouldn't think this would matter playing a sim, since ball data is all that matters. But for improvement purposes, everything will be screwed up

The hawk is an offset device so it can go in a more narrow room. As for the ball, it’ll hit the ceiling. Add baffles.

I hope this isn't too late....

I just went down and checked my machine with club data. For a righty, hitting on the lefty side, the only thing I noticed is that my draw (as a righty that showed a little in-to-out swing path) turned into an out-to-in path with a fade when hit from the lefty side. The other info looked the same to me but it's been a long day. The machine saw the spin and it registered the flight going in the same direction and it was still called L spin.

I hope that make sense.

And, I hit my 60º and the ball hit about 2/3 the way up my screen. My ball sits about 10 feet from the screen and the screen is about 10 feet tall and 17 wide.

Hope that helps,

Hi, as a follow up to this, I’ve been trying to figure out the distance between the left and right club data zones. I’ve found 2 guides on the Foresight website, one that indicates the distance between them is 12” and another that indicate 6-8” (depending on ceiling height). Their support team has not been helpful at all letting me know which is correct.

I’d ideally like to hit from a hitting strip (or 2 next to each other) from the center of the room due to past wrist injuries. If the gap is going to be too wide between the club data zones I might go for the Uneekor Eye XO2. I’d prefer the GCHawk if I can make it work though due to Multisport and having read good reviews.

Appreciate any information anyone can provide. My ceiling height will likely end up being around 10.5’.
