Stealth Screen golf Simulator

[Tjmaxx916]

Hi everyone

Thank you for all your photos and input. I finally put my sim together.

I decided to go with par2pro stealth retractable screen.

12 ft wide and 9 ft ceiling. 4:3 aspect ratio.

benq TH671st projector

flight scope x2 elite I had for a few years now.

Awesome. Love the wine cooler too.

Awesome build

Please raise and adjust your screen roller height to at least a 1/2" off the surface (read instructions). Place the given metal tubes in the black sleave at the bottom of the black fabric. Buy $5 worth of black foam pipe insulation and stuff over the bottom. Lightly tension your screen like the attached picture (the pics are of a roller halfway off the ground)

Trust me, the ball will drop after it hits the full mass of the hanging screen. The weight of the screen will diffuse the bouce back and will flatten your image.

Offset side screens slightly inside the impact screen to create an overlap of material so that the screens do not have to be coupled.

I guess you would get 4 or so inches of flex on the side screen when it is hit at the edge. The issue is created when the impact screen roller is up, the side curtain's brackets have to be mounted in a position that doesn't touch the (now wider) roll of impact screen. This moves the impact screen away from the side screen, thus requiring an additional inset. So, probably 8", which is where my screens are mounted. Sometimes I would like more, but it actually stops the ball to a dribble and it may roll slowly through on the concrete..

so if i understand correctly because you have the side netting in the inside because of how its mounted it has to be put in front so it creates a gap from the screen going towards the hitter. So technically could a perfectly placed shot go through then still?

See new post below with images and explanation....

Where did you get that Taylormade club rack and how much did it set you back? I like that.

Offset and overlap works and damaging amounts of energy are absorbed.

A ball will be knocked down by the side screen or the impact screen. Usually both on a hosel shank shot directed at the corner. It will hit the side screen and deflect into the front curtain. The ball goes to the floor and may dribble or slowly roll between the small gap. A door with a glass window is protected by this, and there are no dents or damage to any dry wall. If a ball gets on the other side, it is after it gets knocked down and is settling on the floor.

If you hit the ball 8"-10" from the front black screen edge, while missing the side screen, it is still greatly slowed. I have had a few go through this path since installation (7 months), but they are shank shots rebounding back, slowed and not hurting anything. Again, a small bounce or dribble.

Attached are images to give you all a perspective to the overlap and spacing limitations of adjacent rollers. The side screen brackets have to be spaced to allow for the front screen to be rolled up.

How long ago did you order the Stealth from Par2pro? I ordered mine at the beginning of May and they said the sportscreen is back ordered and they hope to have them in stock by the middle of June.

[Will]

Par2Pro was very responsive and met my outlined design expectations. They communicated and I just had to wait for all of the components.

Payed in mid September of 2019. Received most components late October. SportScreen was received at the beginning of November due to a tariff/shipping hold issue. (Remember the tariffs of 2019?)

I used the time to clean out the garage, run conduit, wire duct, replace the garage doors and lifts, prepare the turf, mount the computer, shelf, folding desktop, monitors, projector, and the list went on and on. Don't forget to go play golf on a real course.

The gear will arrive. Prepare the site. The SportScreen will be the last thing to mount.

Great setup. I'm getting a SportScreen and will add my own screen. What do you use for your landing mat? Do you regularly move it?
