Any experience yet with the ball hitting the vinyl on the padding (hope not but curios how that would hold up as I have been looking at doing the same thing. And happy with AK quality?

AK quality is good for the price. Definitely the least expensive of the companies I looked at. The pads do have some bounce when the ball hits it which is obviously a problem. I working on coming up with a solution, thinking of hanging fabric so the balls at least get caught and drop straight down instead of hitting the tv's. The pads themselves really don't show much after being hit. Just a slight "scuff"
