Left and Right in 11 ft room

[Caudio18]

Has anyone verified the width of the ball pickup. I have a friend interested in an overhead unit that can do both hands but room is only 11ft wide sowhen hitting right or left will have to hit to one side or the other? Foresight is saying their GC Hawk will be able to do it, just wondering if anyone has tried it a smaller width room.

Im curious about this one too. Previous replies suggested around 18" side to side including one video posted. Hope more people can test this as id like to try to put in multiple surfaces (CC, Fiberbuilt and putting strip) and that needs some width.

I contacted QED Uneekor, and should hear something back about it tomorrow. Hope to get one of them to join the form to be able to give us more detailed information on questions about the system. I know their installation guide calls for a 13' wide room, but I don't know if that can be adjusted or not, I know the distance to the screen is set just for safety concerns about bounce back and that it reads the shot information in the first two to three foot of travel. I know my hitting area is bigger than a square foot, but I have never bothered to measure just how big it is, I know it will pick up the ball off to the side of the Fiber-Built mat and that is one foot wide.

I know tgc 2019 and skytrak can do camera offset so if your hitting to right side of room it will align your view on screen to ball placement, does their software have that feature at all?

I read the 13 ft , I'm guessing thats just so u could mount in center of room and have room to swing on either side. I'm sure you could.mount off to right and be fine in 11 ft, but that would make it a right handed only room.

Highly doubt this works for both RH and LH play in a room that's only 11' wide. You're going to be offset roughly 1.5-2' so the window would need to be twice that width to work.

Doug is on the aproval wait to be able to post on here but he said; "13’ Wide is needed to accommodate both RH and LH golfers to swing all clubs freely without hitting the exterior walls (sans a very tall player ie; 6’5” or something. As always height and swing plane do affect the dimensions required)

You can always crowd one side of a narrower room to favor a RH or LH player BUT in doing so this impedes the ability to fully utilize for the other handed player. This is because of space and the calibration zone is fixed once set! (our calibration zone is large approx. 18” x 24”)"

Has anyone asked Doug about a slideable overhead mount for use in those right/left situations? I saw one other post about this possibility. My uneekor, mounted so the base of the unit is 9 feet from the floor, picks up exactly 12 inch width ball placement.

Unfortunately the slideable idea wouldn't be ideal. The calibration zone is fixed and every time the unit moves it would throw this off...& require re-calibration. UNEEKOR's calibration zone is very generous compared to the market. Approximately 18" X 24".
Also keep in mind the ideal width of the room is variable to the golfer themselves for RH & LH capability. Meaning; if you're 5'6" tall or 6'6" tall, Flat swing or upright swing. 13' width seems the minimal to offer unimpeded RH and LH players with fairly normal builds. Hope this helps or you can email me directly @ dbybee@uneekor.com

I bet something could be diy'd, even remote controlled to move it back and forth on a track. If there's a will there's a way.

has anyone looked into this anymore. Mounting on a sliding rail.

[rjd1975]

I definitely think you could build something to slide it. Not sure I would want to slide it back and forth shot to shot but I assume even that could be done. I could measure officially tonight my width but I would think there are a few additional factors you would want to consider: 1. I am not sure if your width increases or decreases based on ceiling height (my ceiling height is 10ft so the Uneekor is prob around 9.5ft). 2. I am not sure if the system reads with the same accuracy everywhere within the hitting area (my thought is that it would do best when you are closest to the center of the hitting area).

[Rukus]

Anyone ever determine whether it’s possible to mount the Uneekor on a sliding rail to allow more left/right offset than 18”? Or is the offset 24” left/right in room and 18” to/from screen?

I did put mine on a sliding track for the very reason I was worried about hitting from the center position. My room is just under 14' wide and while I didn't hit the side wall but my son did. So I slid it over a foot and re-calibrated, and offset the software. That being said I'm not sure how practical it would be to shift it in normal course of play and how the calibration plays into it. It definitely won't work for me as I'm now hitting off a Fiberbuilt mat and they hitting section is not that wide. My track is nothing special, made of plywood and solid wood guides, hard to see in the pic but exactly the same as the projector.
