    Skytrak pricing

    Hello, newbie here. Just pricing out diff package i could buy to set up skytrak. I know i could go budget and just put up a sheet to catch balls... but im trying to go relatively legitimate setups. Attached is a pic of the pricing and products im looking at. Anyone have any help hints or wish they knew from their setups that they can help me with? I would be looking at the "budget" option... also... why would you need the net return net... WITH a projector screen on in? Isnt that redundant? Thank you in advance.

    If your looking to save money on a screen for a while , when I first set my simulator up I used a couple of decorators sheets and had no issues for the duration that a used them (about 2 years) but you do sacrifice picture quality.
    I would also add spend to your budget but buy quality items so you don’t have to replace them to many times.

      What do you mean add spend? Odds are ill buy the skytrak soon (when gov reopens) and then buy the rest later on.

    I agree with @conlinjm18. The screen can really save a look of money. I've been using canvas drop sheet and a king-size bed sheet as my screen. I've been using this setup for 2 years and it works really well. I am on my second bed sheet, but it holds up really well. I get a lot of use out of my sim.

        I put a golf practice net behind and that was tight and the sheets just resting against the net.

        Thats not a bad idea. Plus i like that u can put the sheet in laundry. Wonder if thread count matters for picture quality. Lol. May seem like im joking but im not.

      I bought some archery netting for a screen. I think it cost about $100 and is fantastic.

      Heres a video comparing archery netting to a proper impact screen on a Skytrak. For me, the archery net looks more than good enough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqMu2qkaSUg&t=418s
