Room dimension check

[Afor1991]

Just wanted to get yalls advice. Possibly planning on moving my golf sim to a downstairs room measuring 17x14x9. I’m 5’10 with an average plane swing. Have others found this to be acceptable? I’d be using an overhead camera system and id like be the only one playing it. Thanks in advance

Should be fine in ab offset position, but what is your ceiling height. Might be worth testing it with your driver to see and given your dimensions I would try both ways to see which dimension you prefer to be hitting towards, as either could work just you will be getting closer to screen.

What do you think is needed to not be offset? Assuming you are referring ot the 14 foot width. I am contemplating building from scratch a 15x20x10 internal room. I'd go wider but have some setback issues I'm contending with. I'd like to be centered if possible but small offset isnt end of world as no lefty's and plan on GCQ.

ceiling height is 9 feet exactly. Which was probably my biggest concern.

I am just over 5’11” and have a little over 9 foot of ceiling height after factoring in my mat. I would say it is tight and to ensure that I don’t flatten my swing I do choke down about .5 to 1 inch. Also, I tend to prefer using my 3 wood more often than not because of the ceiling height.

I'm 6'3 and swing in 9' ceiling height with no problems. Occasionally I might scrape the ceiling when trying to pull off a cut with the driver, but its no biggie imo. That said, I do wish I had an extra foot of height, especially for guests who don't hit the ceiling but instead struggle with indoor swing syndrome. Best suggestion is to get down there and start swinging the big dog to see how it feels and if it will work for you.

Should be plenty of room...my son is 6' 2" and we had our sim in a 9' garage for two years without getting close to the ceiling. Can't speak for the overhead camera system though.

If 5 10, 46 years old, normal swing and and I cant even think about hitting driver. I have scraped the ceiling a few times with 3 wood. I just hit utility clubs and irons. Some people on here say that they can get away with 9 feet but I would guess that is 50 50.
