16'x9' Sports Screen with a 14' wide impact screen. The images are standard 3840x2160 ratio (16/9) to keep monitor and projector images native.
A 14' wide screen has 30% less screen area, therefore it requires 30% less lumens to have equal screen brightness as a 16' screen.

I use an 8000 lumen, 4k, laser projector, and couldn't justify the image issues with the larger screen. While my ceiling height is 10'8", I needed the extra space above the ceiling protection to allow it to deflect and slow high iron shots. Pixel density is still pretty good at 14' wide image and ball at around 11' when you display at 3840x2160.
The side curtains are angled from 16' wide near the player to 14' wide at the impact screen. The overlap removes the need to secure the side screens from the impact screen. The small gap contains errant shots and isn't an issue, but it can allow a ball to dribble through.
You don't have to secure the impact screen to the ground. Use a ball bungee and attach it to the bottom rod on the sportsscreen. The weight of the rod and mass of the two screens will hold it steady.
There are so many good designs on this website and I hope others can give you feedback on their experiences with the larger screens. I drew everything on sketchup and spec'd out hardware to meet my goals. I made my system at the end of 2019 and have only upgraded a few items in the last year, mostly decorative and lighting.
