Indoor simulator

[Urbs_Valhalla 123]

 
I’ve been working on my indoor simulator setup and I’m almost done. Shipping times were not a bad as I expected. Please let me know what you all think.
 
These are are items I went with:
 
SkyTrax - estimated ship time was 8-12 weeks and I received it in 3.
 
The Net Return Series V2 - net size is perfect for my space (7’8” height, 8’ width, 3’6” depth. They do sell a projector screen to fits over the top, I might add this later on.
 
Country Club Elite Gold mat - my mat size is 5x5. I think a 4x6 would have been the perfect size for the area. Overall this mat is great. It allows you to actually hit “fat” shots unlike more driving range mats. It holds a regular golf tee with no issues.

I love it;  wish I had the space to set something like this up.   While the fancy in house simulators are amazing,  you have setup a perfectly functional area to get in your practice reps.

Looks like a great set up and I echo that wish I could do something like this but just lack the space, but it's fun to dream as snow falls out my window.

Just recently did this as well.  Before I had a rukket net in the garage which was still nice to be able to swing the club in the winter and hit real golf balls.  Still some adjusting to do to get the image a bit more clear, but extremely fortunate to have this.

This looks great! This is almost exactly what I'm planning to do in my garage by next winter. Glad you like yours.

What projector are you using?

I found a BenQ MW824ST for a good price and went with that.  The image does look better in person.  I need to steam my projector screen and maybe use some additional clamps to help get the screen a bit more taut.

I really wish I could do this...problem is in South East Texas you can’t stand to be in the garage about 7-8 months a year because of heat

It wouldn't be the best solution but you could get a couple large fans to try to keep airflow in your garage.  Still would be warm, but possibly manageable.  

I had to get a space heater to try and get temperature up high enough.  Still cold, but not terrible on a thin shot.

That looks like a great set-up.  Where are you with total cost?

That's pretty darn good!  What do the get for the optional projector and screen?  I kind of like watching the ball fly down the fairway.  I suppose one could position the TV monitor behind the net .
