    How to temporarily level a 19ft garage for Sim Play

    I have a 19ft length garage with a 4.5 inch slope from back to front. The makers of both Mevo Plus and Skytrak state that numbers may be inaccurate as they require a more level surface from unit to screen.

    I am more interested in Mevo right now. I am considering building a DIY hitting platform to level from the unit to the front end of my matt. I've seen many such examples on the forum.

    From there, has anyone come up with a temporary level to the screen? I'm thinking of extending something retractable from the platform to the screen such as a wind screen or banner.

    Has anyone managed this? I need to be able to put it all away to park the cars too.

    Or is this all too much work and I need to move to the next spending bracket with a GC2 or Uneekor?

    Just pickup a used GC2, will be easier and a better launch monitor.

      It should be for nearly 3x the cost.

    So for a GC2 I'll only need to level the hitting mat area and nothing else?

      I'm fairly certain only the unit needs to be level and you'll want the hitting mat to be as level as possible (so you're not perpetually hitting from an uphill lie) but the rest of the area shouldn't matter.

          As long as you have a flat place to hit from and a flat place for the Skytrak, it will be accurate, but all calculations will be based on a flat shot. The skytrak only needs a few feet to run and provide the calculations. From an accuracy perspective, I have both skytrak and Uneekor and it's amazing how great the skytrak is. I am about to sell mine and truthfully, there's part of me that will be sad to do so because there are some features on the skytrak that are superior to my new setup. The bag mapping and the shot optimizer are incredible features...
