  • Does LED lighting overhead in garage matter?

    So far I've come across one post of someone saying they had to make adjsutments for this. Is this a common problem. I plan to put my ST in the garage (toward center into a net) and i have strong overhead LED lighting.

    Side question, does tee height matter when hitting a driver?

    thanks all!

    I have overhead LED lighting and have no problem. You don't want anything shining directly into the front of the unit though. Tee height doesn't seem to affect my results but you may need to move the ball back or forward of laser light depending on launch angle and ball speed.

      I heat and AC my garage. I use a 24,000 btu mini-split. It works great. My garage is 20 x 40 x 10.5 and only insulated at the ceiling.

      I will be selling my SKytrak. I purchased an uneekor unit for a few reasons. Mainly for the camera setup and my sim folds up and I wouldn't have to move the unit. I also have a few lefties in my group.

      Really considering the Uneekor too. I dont have hte ability to leave the unit though because in midwest the change in temps could damage the unit. That's my perception anyway.

    I replaced my standard basement bulbs with LED shop lights and notice no difference with ST. I'd imagine if your LED lights are casting shadows over your hitting mat that might be problematic but hopefully you'll have enough ambient light. As for teeing it up, like Supra mentioned- just move the ball/tee a little to the right of the red dot and you should be good.

      What are the room distance requirements with Uneekor?
      I have 11 ft ceilings
      Hitting area 10 ft from screen.
      Back wall behind hitting area about 8 feet behind hitting area.

      Will this work?
