For those with a low ceiling height...it depends. My ceiling height is 8'7" in my garage. I am not that tall at 5'7" but I can swing every club including driver. I was definitely nervous and had been holding back until the last TGC2019 round. Finally starting to build some speed and follow-through back in. I'm a 15 handicap and have been working on shallowing the club, so hopefully that is helping me to have some clearance to the ceiling in my follow-through.
I had a couple people over for the Masters and 1 friend who is 5'10" and a single digit handicap had no problem. My brother-in-law, on the other hand, is 5'11" and he is probably a 25 handicap. He hit the ceiling with his 4 hybrid. He has a tendency to get steep and fall back.
On to the build. I have been using a Net Return Pro in the back for almost a year in the backyard. My Skytrak was run through an iPad and cast to an outdoor TV. It's been great, although I would get a fair amount of misreads. I think some of it had to do with my WIFI strength in the back, but definitely I was limited on what time of day I could use the Skytrak due to the sun position.
Build 2.0 (I guess pictures in Portrait orientation do not meet the size requirements on this forum, so I'll need to add more later)
Impact Screen: Par2Pro 10' wide Stealth Elite. Overall a really great product. The roller tube came with some pretty big dents from TheSportsScreen, but they shipped out a replacement and I received it in a little over 1 week. If I had it to do over again, I would have just bought TheSportsScreen and an imperfect SQ impact screen to put together myself. I would have saved about $800 that way, but I don't have a ton of time with 2 young kids. $800 to keep some peace with the wife. The screen has a very nice picture quality and we also use it to do movie night with the kids. They love it.
Hitting Mat: 5-Star Perfect Reaction (5'x5'). I started with the 6'x10' Pro Turf mat that came with my Net Return, but it was way too thin and I started to get some elbow pain. The 5-Star mat is way better and gives me more accurate distance and spin numbers. It's light, so it was always moving around when I used it in the back. My garage has a small step up right behind where the projector hangs, which is perfect. I put the Pro Turf mat going the width of the screen and butted up against the step. Then I put the 5-Star mat against it. No more moving around!
Projector: Optoma GT1080HDR Short Throw. Great for my application. It's mounted to the ceiling about 1' in front of the ball, so no real chance of hitting it with the club or the ball.
Launch Monitor: Skytrak with FMJ
Simulation Software: TGC2019...so happy with this.
