    New member, wondering if my space is worth the planning

    Hey guys, I’m moving to a new house in March and I’m wondering if the space I’ll have available is even worth the planning effort. I currently have a cheap mat and Rukket net set up in my unfinished basement, but the ceiling is low so at 6’ tall a wedge is all I feel comfortable swinging.

    In the new house, I’ll have a finished room in the basement with the following dimensions:
    LENGTH- 12.5’
    WIDTH- 10.5’
    HEIGHT- 9.5’

    I’m mostly interested in having a place to practice, as the move is taking me away from the club and driving range at the end of my street. (Sigh) Where we’re moving in Atlanta the clubs wouldn’t have me, and even if they did I would probably need 2-3 more jobs to pay for it! As such, I’m looking at getting a Skytrak with a better quality mat and a net return style net with side panels to protect the wall. I’m not too interested in a projector, instead I think I want to mount a tv on the wall at the side of the room. This room would be for practicing only, so no need for space for seating or other amenities.

    Long story short, do I have space to comfortably set up what I mentioned above and practice with clubs other than just a wedge?

    Appreciate any advice.

    Man that's tight. The ceiling height is fine. The width is really tight but you could do it. But 12.5 of length is tough. A net that's 1 foot from the wall leaves you 11.5 feet. Hitting from 6 feet away leaves 5.5 behind you. Might be possible but you'd have to be very exact on your hitting spot.

      It is tight but doable. I hit 7.5 feet from my screen but could be closer if I had to be, hitting area is 10 feet wide. I am biased to one side in order to allow for swinging.You will need a camera based system.
