Getting Started Guide:

Step 1 – Plan Your Space

Measure your room’s width, height, and depth to ensure enough distance for your swing and at least 12–16 inches of clearance behind the screen for safe ball impact and proper fabric flex.

Step 2 – Unpack and Inspect

Carefully remove the screen from its packaging, lay it flat on a clean surface, and check for wrinkles, creases, or shipping defects before installation.

Step 3 – Assemble Your Frame or Enclosure

Build your Carl’s Place Pipe Kit or custom frame, making sure it’s level, sturdy, and large enough to hold the screen without excessive tension or sagging.

Step 4 – Mount the Screen

Attach the screen using the provided grommets, flaps, or loop-fastener edges, keeping it evenly stretched yet slightly flexible to absorb golf ball impacts effectively.

Step 5 – Set Up Your Projector and Launch Monitor

Position your short-throw projector and launch monitor according to manufacturer spacing, aligning the projected image squarely within the screen’s viewable area for optimal visuals and tracking.

Step 6 – Calibrate and Test

Hit several test shots, fine-tune your projector’s brightness and focus, and adjust screen tension or monitor placement until visuals and readings feel accurate and consistent.

Step 7 – Maintain for Longevity

Wipe the screen periodically with a damp cloth, use clean golf balls, and store the screen loosely rolled when not in use to preserve its shape and projection quality.

Step 8 – Optimize the Environment

Control room lighting with side curtains or blackout panels, keeping lights behind or above the hitting area to enhance contrast and reduce glare on the screen.

Step 9 – Enjoy Your Simulator

Load up your favorite golf simulation software and experience the crisp visuals, quiet impact, and lifelike feedback of your new high-contrast gray screen.

Setup & Installation Recommendations:

• Always leave 12–16 inches behind the screen to prevent contact and friction.
  
  

• Make sure 2–3 inch buffer at top and sides so frame or walls don’t interfere.
  
  

• Use ball bungees or loop fasteners (depending on finish) to tension the screen evenly.
  
  

• Position your mat 10–12 feet away from the screen for safety and proper tracking.
  
  

• Use light, clean golf balls to reduce wear.
  
  

• Avoid placing rigid objects directly behind the screen.
  
  

• Unfold and tension soon after delivery to help remove creases.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How durable is the High-Contrast Gray Impact Screen?

It’s built to take high-speed strikes (up to 250 mph) while maintaining surface integrity and image clarity.

Q: What’s the benefit of gray vs white screens?

A: The gray material enhances contrast and black depth — great for bright rooms. White screens reflect more light, but can look washed out in non-dark setups.

Q: Which screen material should I choose?

• Standard: Best for first-time users or practice-only setups.
  
  

• Preferred: Ideal for golfers seeking a balance of smooth projection and durability.
  
  

• Premium/High Contrast Gray Impact Screen: Best-in-class image quality, quiet impact sound, and maximum lifespan.
  
  

Q: Can I get a custom size?

Yes. Carl’s builds to order within their standard limits — contact us with your dimensions and we’ll work with Carl’s to produce your custom screen.

Q: How much space should I leave behind the screen?

Leave 12–16 inches between the screen and any wall or surface behind it for safety and screen longevity.

Q: Can I clean my impact screen?

Yes. Use a soft cloth with mild detergent and dry immediately with a fan or hairdryer on low. Avoid soaking or leaving moisture on the surface.

Q: How long does the screen last?

With proper care and use of clean golf balls, most screens last 3–5 years under regular play.

Q: Are these screens returnable?

Because screens are custom-made and considered a wearable item, they cannot be returned after use. Contact support if your screen arrives damaged.

Q: Do I need a special projector?

No special projector is required. Standard or short-throw models work best for clear, full-width coverage.

Q: Can it double as a movie or media screen?

A: Yes! Many users enjoy its cinematic color contrast for movie nights when not golfing.

Q: Does it reduce bounce-back?

A: Absolutely. The triple-layer fabric absorbs energy and flexes on impact, preventing dangerous ricochets.

Q: Can I mount this to a DIY frame?

A: Yes — it’s compatible with any pipe or aluminum frame, enclosure, or tensioned design.
