Getting Started Guide:

Step 1: Measure Your Space

Measure the width, height, and depth of your simulator area. Be sure to account for at least 12–16 inches of clearance behind the screen and 2–3 inches on the sides and top.

Step 2: Choose Your Screen Size

Select a standard size that fits your space, or request a custom-sized screen for a precise fit.

Step 3: Pick Your Finish Style

Choose from Classic, Classic with Flaps, or Classic with Loop Fasteners based on your mounting needs and aesthetic preference.

Step 4: Prepare the Frame

Use 1” or 2” EMT conduit to build your frame. Make it approximately 4 inches wider and taller than your screen for proper bungee tension.

Step 5: Mount the Screen

Attach your impact screen using ball bungees or loop fasteners (depending on finish style). Start from the center and work outward for even tension.

Step 6: Adjust the Fit

Ensure the screen surface is smooth and wrinkle-free. Adjust bungee tension as needed to balance firmness and bounce-back.

Step 7: Set Up Your Projector and Launch Monitor

Position your projector according to its throw ratio, and align the image on the screen. For best results, use short-throw projectors and adjust brightness to match your lighting conditions.

Step 8: Test and Fine-Tune

Take a few test shots. Check for image alignment, bounce-back comfort, and sound levels. Make small adjustments until the setup feels perfect.

Step 9: Enjoy Your Simulator

You’re ready to play! Step onto your hitting mat, launch your favorite sim software, and experience realistic, high-definition golf simulation in your own space.

Setup & Installation Recommendations:

• Keep 12–16” of free space behind the screen so there’s no interference with mounting, airflow, or back-surface pressure.
  
  

• Leave 2–3” clearance around top and sides to protect edges from rubbing against frames or walls.
  
  

• Use 6” or 9” ball bungees (depending on frame geometry) to evenly tension the screen.
  
  

• Aim to place your hitting mat 10–12 ft in front of the screen for safe, clear shots.
  
  

• Use clean, scuff-free golf balls to avoid premature wear on the surface.
  
  

• Store and handle the screen carefully — Do not drag across rough surfaces.
