Gear Selection Tips
Don't Skimp on the Mat
Your hitting mat affects every shot. A quality mat protects your joints and clubs, and provides realistic feedback.
Screen Before Projector
Choose your impact screen first, then match a projector to it. Screen size determines projector throw ratio needs.
Net as Backup
Even with a screen setup, a quality net behind it adds safety and catches any shots that miss the screen.
Short Throw is Worth It
Short throw projectors cost more but let you mount them behind you, keeping them safe and reducing setup complexity.
Test Before Permanent Install
Before mounting anything permanently, test your setup with temporary placement to find the optimal positions.
Budget for Accessories
Remember to budget for mounting hardware, cables, and potential room modifications like lighting or sound dampening.
