    GC3 + Enclosure-in-a-Box or DIY? Pics of Room

    I'm new to the forum and the research has been extensive but I need some advice. I'm attaching the dimensions of the room and some photos.

    I've decided to go with the GC3 Players Plus Bundle.

    The screen/enclosure will have to go where the window is located. I realize this will be a tight fit with the room only being 12.3' wide. The main problem is the ceiling is 8' high at the edges and increases to a vault at 11'. I don't think I'll be able to stand in the dead center so I'll have to be more towards the wall where a right-handed golfer would face.

    I guess I'll be hitting into the right side of the enclosure while keeping everything else centered.

    The main reason for the post is what sort of enclosure would you recommend? I've been told that a "SIM-in-a-Box" will not work. However, I contacted Shop Indoor Golf and they rep indicated that the SIG10 package would work. With the upgraded mat, this is $6,250. https://shopindoorgolf.com/products/...32047639756889

    Would y'all do a DIY? Go with the SIG 10 package? Something else? I think I'd rather get my own projector rather than the one in the package as well.

    Thanks!

    If you have lots of money and very little time and want to hit balls like, right now, it may be worth it to go with one of those packages.

    If you are the DIY type and will enjoy the project, its worth it to build one that fits exactly your space in the ideal way. You will save a lot of money and end up with better individual components.

    I would vote for DIY. When it comes down to it, enclosures and turf are simple things and there are tons of ideas on this forum.

    Depending on your swing, you may have to be a foot off center yeah. With a 12' screen, it probably won't bother you very much. There are quite a few set ups where people are swinging inside of a 10' enclosure, offset to one side.

    You're getting a hell of a launch monitor, make the space awesome hehe. Think about a home theatre type set up there too if you could use it. A 20' depth is quite comfortable for a friends/family setting.

      Epson Powerlite L630SU WUXGA Short Throw Laser (EPSV11HA29020) worked great for my setup. Little pricey though. About $4k
