Please help! Loud Impact Screen

[Pye2408]

Hello!

I recently build an impact frame with EMT and bought a impact screen from Amazon. The seller claimed the screen is made by 100% heavy-duty polyester with reinforced edges with grommets installed that can take 250mph golf ball. However, when the ball was impacting the screen, it was quite loud like a drum playing next to my ears.

My simulation room is 10x10x10, but the ball position is only about 7' away from screen. I have tried loosing tension, removing several bungees, put up a backing support netting/pad but none of them help. I would like to give it a shot and buy a quiet impact screen before switching back to the net. Is there a quiet impact screen on market? I am living in a townhouse so the noise is a big issue for me.

Many thanks!

For me, driver hitting ball is louder than ball hitting screen. Are you suggesting the ball hit screen impact is louder?

[golfsimulatorsite]

Every golf screen material has a different noise and sound level at impact. If the material is real stiff and dosent have a lot of stretch to it, its probably going to be louder

Thequietest material is going to be the padded poly spacer material. Hanging a pad behind will help as well as well

I will send you link

What size screen do you have?

thx

No doubt, the driver is louder but almost the same as the impact screen noise. When I hit iron/fairway wood/hybird, the screen noise is much louder. I was shocked several times, lol.

My original impact screen was very loud. The kids two rooms away from the simulator could hear. I upgraded to Chip's (@golfsimulatorsite) Poly Spacer screen a few weeks ago and it has made a huge difference. No more complaints from the kids. I still have the sound of the ball hitting the club head, but the impact sound is dramatically reduced... like 90% or more.

In short, the polyspacer is a game changer, it is priced very aggressively, super quiet, and Chip is great. You can't go wrong. Let me know if you want me to send some pictures.

I plan on hanging some moving blankets halfway back from my screen to the wall. I used to be a drummer. I would deaden the sound by putting blankets inside the drum. It deadens the reverberation.

How do you get in touch with Chips poly spacer? I have net setup in my garage that is nice and quiet. I bought a white tarp to project onto it with net behind and that thing was so loud when the ball hit it. I am looking some thing cheap that you can project on and place in front or behind white golf net.

Thanks
