They should be comparable for roll but I'd recommend Synlawn. It just is a higher quality turf, in my opinion. -
Well, I don't have a Mevo+ anymore, I've since upgraded to a Foresight GC2. But to answer your question, yes that is why I have the extra piece in the back, for the Mevo+ to sit on. The EVA foam underlay is attached to the rest of the underlay but I have a separate piece of turf that just sits on that. It was an offcut I purchased from Synlawn for about $50. The reason I did that is because I didn't want to pay for a full piece and then only use 40% of it.Leave a comment:

Upgrade looks fantastic! I have a similar set up but have a 7’x10’ synlawn remnant as my landing turf and a mat butted up next to it. I also have a Mevo as my LM. Is the section that your Mevo sits on removable? Does that last section that the Mevo sits on just butt up to the main section?
After seeing this I think I have some work to do! Thanks!Leave a comment:

Thanks for the info - I ended up hanging a white photo backdrop material in front of the coarse mesh and it produces a nice crisp image and the mesh absorbs the impact nicely so the fine fabric holds up. It has a bit of noise to it but mines inside a concrete room below a suspended slab garage so the wife never hears it anyway! Only problem is it starts to sag a bit after 100 shots or so but its easy to tension - i'll probably do a screen upgrade further down the road but for now... we're golfing!Leave a comment:

Yes, I have upgraded my screen and basically entire setup. My original setup was made to be disassembled so we could park cars in the garage but that turned out to be too much work so I started to plan something else. I ended up going with a Carl's enclosure and I am using a SQ-RAW screen from Par2Pro. Massive upgrade in picture quality, bounce-back, durability and general use and I'd highly recommend. The HDT screen was cheap and worked okay and I agree, very grainy and translucent as well.Originally posted by b.cortese View Post

I saw you original build post and I'm wondering - are you still using the screen that you got from heavydutytarps.ca or have you switched to something else? The screen in these photos looks like a finer weave.
I'm just setting up my system and I have to say that I'm not impressed at all with the picture quality on the screen that I got from HDT.ca
Curious to get some feedback on how you improved it, or what you upgraded to!
Thanks in advance.Leave a comment:

Brettster Mine is on hardwood so I just used carpet tape. It's holding up fine for my purposes, but watching putts roll wasn't a consideration for me. My putts drop off a fiberbuilt (landing area isnt level with the stance mat) so I'm probably not the best judge of how it holds a line: https://i.imgur.com/BdhjuaJ.jpg
I'm sure it's not as good in that regard as more expensive alternatives actually labelled as putting turf. -
Thanks Celeras and DS12 - you're right it's cheaper and I can buy narrower widths which makes it much less expensive! That's a good idea to keep it to the landing area as I plan on filling around the edges with thicker 'Fringe' anyway for chipping. Did you glue yours down Celeras? How is it holding up and how good is it at holding line for putts? I think I would prefer to velcro, or tape it down, just in case, but if that is a problem, I could see glueing it - just hate to think of slopping over my brand new flooring underlayment with carpet glue.
Wow, just priced it out and that 84 sq. foot number (12x7) is only $20/shipping $20/tax - so just around $300 that's reasonable. -
Not sure! I have this: https://www.ondecksports.com/GT34-Pa...rtificial-Turf
Need to keep the order under 85sq ft to avoid expensive freight shipping, which is what I did (my landing area is 12x7). It is holding up nicely, but looking at my invoice I paid $2.25 when I bought so unfortunately it's almost a dollar more expensive nowadays. -
Looks awesome. I don’t think I would get away with telling my wife she can’t park in the garage anymore though. 😏Leave a comment:

Yeah I was surprise how much good turf was. It was something I didn't really account for when I started building my sim. But if you do it right and get good turf it makes a big difference, IMO.
I really like the YGT-3D hitting strip. It is holding up well but I've only hit a couple of hundred shots on it. No signs of wear or anything yet. I also got a Fibrebuilt strip because everyone has been raving about it but I really don't like it at all. I don't find it realistic and you can't compress the ball at all. Yes, easy on the joints but it comes at a price. That's just my opinion, I know most people love them.
Golf season here is pretty much over. I'll play my last outdoor round of the year today and my course is closed on Tuesday next week. Excited for indoor golf season, though.Leave a comment:

thanks for followup... I'm still debating the cheap indoor/outdoor carpet, but likely will go with something nice as far as turf, probably from http://www.purchasegreen.com (can easily drop over $500 here for what I want, may be one of the more expensive parts of my sim).
Hows' that mat holding up from Steven? Not a bad price... so many mats to try out too... just to want to get the screen up and start hitting soon - weather is changing fast... but still a few more 50 to 60 degree days.
