  • Impact Screen One-Day-A-Week

    I have this space inside an indoor academy. The netting is 16' wide and the space is about 24' long with nearly 12' tall ceilings. I use this space for teaching GEARS lessons (https://golfevolution.com/gears/ - you can see the cameras with the blue ring of LEDs near the ceiling), but PXG wants to use the space one day a week to do fittings and they'd want an impact screen so they can project their Trackman screen to it. We can mount a projector (we already have one - a BenQ MH760) that we plan to mount I think about 20' from the screen.

    For a few reasons, I don't want to have the impact screen up except the one day a week, so I'm looking for advice on how to provide a good projection screen that's relatively easy to take down and put up in front of the archery netting you can see in the image below. The height could be 9 to 10' tall (and 12' wide for a 4:3 ratio?)

    The first thing I considered is an impact screen with a pole threaded through the top, to which I could thread two or four wires through the top netting. I'd be worried about balls impacting the pole, of course. (Most fittings would be with a 7I or a driver, but players can pop up drivers, and wedges can get higher too… hits would be from about 12' out.) If the screen hangs against the archery netting, it won't need to do much to stop balls as the netting does that sufficiently already.

    I'm open to a lot of options here. Again, and ideally, the screen is relatively quick to put up and take down.

    What should I do?

    Isn’t there that stealth screen that retracts up?

      I'm not sure what it would retract up into, or how we'd mount something that retracted "up" into something that would probably be a large (metal?) box that could easily get hit. We have the netting on the ceiling, of course.

      I appreciate the response.

      A retractable would likely be your best option. We sell single-piece (stiff) motorized retractable impact screens (https://store.gunghogolf.com/Retract...ens-c116249909). With your ceiling netting, you'd need to figure out how to mount the tube just under the netting, then also figure out some netting or cloth protection of the tube itself.

      I'd need to see much clearer pics of the ceiling just in front of your impact net, along with detailed dimensions of the widths and heights of that end of the room. Each of the two side mounts need to be securely mounted without any horizontal play.

      A secondary option would be to build an EMT pipe enclosure (https://gunghogolf.com/articles/diy-...reen-enclosure), which can be lifted and moved by two people - but not sure if your net and room layout would allow that movement and storage.

        Thanks for the reply. I don't think either of those options are going to work for this setup. I think we may have to just hang a net and hook it/unhook it each time they want to set the screen up.
    Working...
