Hello - First time poster, long time lurker.
After 11 months, I finally finished my golf/gym cabin. As I am in the UK I took the option of going underground to get the extra height, without need planning permission, plus I didn't want it to be too big. However after getting reported by a nosey neighbour it appeared to 6cm higher than allowed, and 6 months later......yes it was painfull (time & money), I finally got planning permission. So I am really happy with the building itself, however what I thought would be the 'easy' bit was the golf simulator set-up.
I have a 3.85mx2.85m PRO impact screen bought from GolfBays UK. I initially hung it up with just a golf net behind and got too much bounce back. I then put two memory foam toppers behind, as suggested by many on the forum. This works great for anything up to a 9iron. When I hit my PW it will literally come back at me head height. I have tried moving the toppers directly against the screen, on the wall, and in the middle - all with the same result. Without the impact screen up, I get virtally zero bounce back. I have put the screen up only attached to the top via bungees and no tension horizontally and yet I still get the ball bouncing at my head (see last photo).
Any advice would be much appreciated, getting quite frustrated.
