mherrera Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hi everyone, I recently spoiled myself this Christmas and bought a Skytrak launch monitor. I just purchased a hitting surface from Fiberbuilt and I am looking for advice on an affordable and well-built hitting screen. I would love to be able to project onto the screen so that I am not just watching the Ipad. One simulator net screen was $4k before the projector and projector stand,Ouch! Any ideas and comments would be appreciated.

hckymeyer Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Check out this article from Mygolfspy. https://mygolfspy.com/carls-place-impact-screens-the-real-deal/ They have quality screens at pretty good prices. You can purchase just the screen and mount it yourself, or you can also purchase the fittings and bungee connectors and then just hit up your local hardware store for the cross piece pipes. They also have instructions for building the frames. cnosil and Nugg126 2 Quote Driver: SLDR w/ Fujikura Ventus Black 3w: '16 M2 hl w/ Diamana D+ 82 5w: Launcher HB w/ HZRDUS Yellow Hybrid: 22 deg.

I plan to order all of the components next week. Carls has some really good affordable options for impact screens. With some further research I found a direct company that actually manufactures the materials for the impact screens and will sell a finished product direct to the customer. The name of the company is West Coast Netting. I included a link below. I priced out a screen 9'X10' with finished edges and grommets for mounting and it was $264. Its about $150-$200 savings over Carls entry level option. If you are really trying to refine your budget this may help. It allowed to add an extra component to my build that I didn't think I could afford. http://www.westcoastnetting.com/netting-products/sports/golf-barrier/impact/pr-20-w.html Quote King F8 9 deg w/ Aldila NV 2KXV Blue 60 stiff shaft XR 16 3 Wood S Flex Fly-Z 3/4 Hybrid S Flex King F7 One Length 5-PW S Flex CBX Wedges 50, 54, & 58 deg wedge flex Select GoLo Putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamorak24 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 There's a guy on GolfWRX that chronicled his building out a hitting bay in his garage for a SkyTrak. I believe he started with a white IKEA quilt that he used as a backdrop and projected onto for a few years before replacing it with a real screen. http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/1238908-2600-garage-simulator-build-and-updates-on-using-it-for-my-game/page__hl__%20skytrak Quote Driver: Ping G30 10.5*, Stiff FW: Ping G 5W, Stiff Hybrid: PING G 19* Stiff, Ping G400 22* Stiff Irons: Taylormade M3 4-PW 3* Up, Project X 5.5 Wedges: Vokey SM7 50* and 54*, Cleveland RTX 2.0 60* 2dot Putter: Ping Sigma G Tyne, 35" PP62 grip Ball: Srixon Z Star and Pro V1x when I find them looking for my ball Southpaw who plays golf and bats right handed in Chicago, current index is 14.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadlius88 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 A sheet with a white hockey net from eBay pulled tight with bungees on all sides will work temporarily. That's what I did for the first few months for my optishot until I was able to afford to buy an impact screen. No issues with it absorbing full shots.

Shifty Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Carl's premium, or more budget friendly Carl's preferred.
