I'm going to follow your posts. I've been following forum for some time and your build will be very similar to mine. I haven't decided what impact screen I'm going to use I have samples from par2 pro and Carl premium. I'm going 16 by 10 screen size. Graphical Fidelity is critical to me. Did you look at other screens I didn't catch that? -
Thanks gentlemen! I have been speaking with Corey from P2P and intend to go with the SQ. -
Let me add....I am amazed at how with all the lights on, you can see some wrinkles and maybe even a few ball marks...but when you turn out the lights and turn on the projector, I am amazed at how the wrinkles do not show and the ball marks are completely invisible....I'm not sure of the technical or scientific explanation but, I'm sure others will agree, it's just not an issue like you think it would be..... -
Just brush out the last impact with your hand. Keep in mind I don’t think you should expect movie theater quality even with the best impact screens out there, but they are still very good. -
Awesome setup and informative write up! This is my first post in the forum, although I have been stalking everyone in the background for months now, as I start to lay out my build. One question that has been bothering me is this...For those of you using this SIM setup as a theatre/screen for other activities (PS4, Sports, Wife Workouts, Etc), how does the ball impact spot not impede on the quality of viewing experience when you are watching a movie or a football game? I plan to multi-purpose mine as well, and want to make sure I am giving myself the best shot at a great golf experience, as well as a durable screen that presents well for friends/kids on movie nights!Leave a comment:

Yes, when I am using the swing cameras I tuned on some additional recessed lights to improve the picture....Leave a comment:

Gene, for the camera. I have 2 of the OV2710 cameras as well. Are you using any additional lighting other then the 2 overhead spot lights required for the protee. I cannot get a picture anywhere close to yours no matter how I mess with the settings in that environment.Leave a comment:

Good to hear....let me know how your testing goes. I really think I have about a zero shot delay. I'm not really sure what the critical components are, but if your test is not successful, let me know and I will get the guy who build my system to document exactly what he put into it and I will document how I have the cameras, etc. plugged in.
I do know that at one time I switched all my usb cables to 3.0 because one of my cameras kept freezing up...switching to 3.0 cable solved the problem and maybe that has helped get my shot delay down -
Thanks, I ended up getting the same camera; however, with a CS lens mount bc I have a few of those lenses.
For the computer, I have a GTX 1070 but I noticed a significant change after changing motherboard so I believe it might be related to overloading the USB interface and trying to run the cameras on different USB interfaces. I'll probably add a USB card to test that theory. My shot delay is pretty good; however, given that the hardware is all USB 2 or serial interface, I thought I was at the shot delay limit until I saw your setup.Leave a comment:

Thanks Joshua, I don't think I am doing anything special. I have a dedicated computer system with a 1080 Nvidia card. There are other experts on here, but I believe the strength of your graphics card is probably the number one thing to have. I'm like you though, zero shot delay is critical for the true experience and I like the ProTee system because it gives me that........
The camera I use can be found here:

Gene, looking at your videos you have the least shot delay I’ve seen with Protee. I upgraded my cpu and motherboard to get usb 3 (I know the cams are usb 2) and that seemed to make a difference but I don’t think it’s as good as yours. Otherwise, I have a strong system. Anything special your doing to get that minimal shot delay.
Also, what camera are u using for kinovea. Looks pretty good given the required low lighting.Leave a comment:

That is awesome
i will likely just leave whatever PC i have in there powered up... i guess thats dumb, based on the cost of running a pc non stop...but the rest is super easy, thank you

I put the protee sensor and over head lights on one outlet. I call it "Golf Simulator". I have the computer on an outlet called "Computer" I have the PC setup to autoload Protee and TGC when it is turned on. By the way, I use MouseRecorder to start TGC, go through the menus, and load my favorite driving range. So, when I come in, I say" Turn on Computer" and "Turn on the Golf Simulator" and by the time I press the on button for the projector, everything is loaded and ready to go and I am at the range ready to hit balls. Took me about an hour to play around with MouseRecorder to get the timing right, but now it works flawlessly. By the time I put on my glove and take a few warm up swings, everything loads and I'm ready to hit. -

Sure....I used the "Classic Putt" product, you can find it here.
Can't buy direct, but you can find your closest dealer on the website.
