7.7’ x 8’ Screen. Is 8’ Ball to Screen Too Short? (Uneekor QED)

[TheDon07]

I am getting a 7.7’ x 13’ screen and was thinking of hitting at 8 feet with a Uneekor QED. I was wondering if this was too close for a QED setup and wondering if the screen is too wide for hitting than close? I appreciate the help.

I don't think it would be an issue as its a camera based system

[TheDon07]

Yeah I think it would be more of an issue of bounce back from the screen. It being too close to where the screen is too big.

Not going to affect your reads from the cameras. Just bounce back of ball from screen. I have mine set at 8ft from screen

[TheDon07]

Do you get a lot of bounce back? I know I could put some padding behind it. Also how long are your side curtains?

Pulled the trigger on QED. Have a garage build. 8 ft ball to screen; 12 ft ceilings. Not a single no read... yet. Wow. No real bounce back issues. Coming from Skytrak, first impressions are a noticeable difference in my enjoyment. Wanted to do XO however, my environment presented some challenges for a front mounted setup. So far so good.

I have a GCQuad (another camera-based system) and a 9x12 Microbay. My hitting zone ranges from 8'-9' from the screen depending upon where I place the ball for a shot. (The hitting zone is fairly large on the Quad.) I like hitting flop shots from 8' so that I don't hit one over the screen. I have had zero issues with bounceback. The impact screen is tight on the top and the bottom, but I did not pull it tight on the sides. 99% of my shots hit the screen and just fall to the floor about 6-12" in front of the screen.
