I have researched and am sure that I still do not have a grasp of everything involved. This is first build and below is set up being considered. I feel like I have listed but with my lack of experience and interaction with simulators, I am sure that there is something that I am not considering and want to listen to others, "I wish I would have..."
This set up is going in my barn (paved, insulated, and conditioned; old picture I found for reference). I am planning on using the main bay of the barn (20'x40') with about 15' ceiling. Space should not be a real issue. My real use of this will be purely recreational and give us something to do on weekend nights and during the winter. I may eventually move outdoors to the range if golf is something the kids enjoy and want to pursue. Given that it will more than likely be an indoor only set up, would you consider moving to a SkyTrak or look to a different launch monitor? Given we are a mix of righty and lefties, would that impact the decision? I looked at overhead launch monitors but I really can't phantom spending 10k+ at this point in time.
The second concern I have is the projector. I feel like this meets many of my needs but mounting it worries me given the height of the ceilings. Floor mount is not an option because of the batting cages that run down the middle the barn. The hitting area for the simulator will double as the hitting area for the cages (I have turf that I will cover up the SwingTurf to prevent over wearing on it.)
Any other questions that I can answer to help with feedback is appreciated.
