In this video I will go over a all new golf simulator enclosure, talk about my entire DIY setup and what I used for turf, mat, projector, and more! After showing you how I built the entire golf simulator by myself in a cool time-lapse of the DIY setup and then I will demonstrate everything in action using the Flightscope Mevo+ with E6 Connect & Awesome Golf plus the SkyTrak Golf Launch Monitor.
Overall I am very impressed with the my new home golf simulator DIY budget build. I think that anyone looking to get a full home golf simulator for the best deal should consider this setup. It not only is very easy for one person to assemble the golf simulator enclosure & golf simulator screen, but the quality is great for the money.

do you have a code for the mevo+ for topshelf? Or, does the gsv100 work for the mevo+ in addition to the enclosure you listed in the comment?
As part of a budget build, do you know if any launch monitors interface with golf video games on xbox or PlayStation? Like EA PGA tour or 2K21 Tour?

Hi I'm looking to build a home sim in Winston Salem, NC how much would I be looking to spend?
@@burnicelocklear4607 many factors. Email me and we can discuss. a98cr125@gmail.com
Thank you for very informative video! I've been swinging back and forth if it was worth it. Finally jump the gun last month. I purchased mine from 24/7 Golf in Melbourne. Absolutely loving it.
Awesome to hear, Mason! Thanks for watching!
Bought one of these 10x8.5 x5 and here is what I found:
- Assembly: Instructions where not included in the box and you have to download them
- They changed the pipe design so the kit comes with a few less pipes. However, they did not update the assemble directions, “what is in the box’, or even notify the user the design was changed. (Because of this I thought I was missing parts and had to call support before I got in to putting it together and then had to figuring out the changes).
- Putting the one-piece enclosure on was a little tricky. Getting the orientation right slowed it down a little bit. I think this could have been solved with a few labels on the kit ( top right back, top left back, etc…
After assembly,
- Enclosure looks good, it was great not having to cut pipes, Bounce back is a non issue, and the screen being offset is nice. Assembly could have been easier with a few simple refinement as noted above. This is a 1500 product and details matter.
Cons…
-Screen: not sure it is as high quality as Carl’s Premium. I was told that it was but it seems the weave could be tighter and picture crisper. Would appreciate other’s thoughts on this.
- The Screen also has a ripple at the bottom 1/2 like if you threw a stone in water. I tightened as much as possible and waiting for support to advise. I have to say, that I am not happy about this at all. Yes it helps bounce back but it hurts the image quality. I am really hoping they can solve this.
- Generally I think this industry could be much better at serving the customer with information after sale. Like … recommended projectors or link to the projector tools, best recommended resolution settings for the size screen you just bought for a full screen experience or other. Maybe general guides for setting up a DYI sim with wiring ideas, options etc… Like Crutchfeild does when you buy from them. Creating quality documentation and proactive guidance to the user for best possible experience with a product goes a long way.
Hope that helps…
This is amazing. My husband and I have wanted a simulator for a long time. Now we can afford it. Thanks again for the great video.
Thanks for watching
I am new to golf...just started this summer and am new to simulators as well. This was very interesting. It definitely would be a great set up for the winters here in Canada.
Glad you enjoyed it. I do have Canadian partners, so if you are interested in building one let me know. Thanks for watching
Good job! I'm suprised the beamer does so well with the light from the side
Thanks for watching 🍻
just purchased the enclosure. Thanks for the breakdown & discount code!
Nice! Congrats. I appreciate you watching!
I like how "budget" means something completely different in terms of golf
More in terms of golf sims. They are crazy exspensive
Hasn't that always been the case? Husband "just going to play a round with the guys today" Shows up, $8 bucket of balls, $58 for 18 with cart, proceeds to buy drinks.... tips well (let's hope) $40, bets his buddy he can beat him $50.....better get a sleeve of Pro V1's it's time to go low $13.... time for lunch... $15..... Shots, why not... $25.... Gotta get a shirt in the pro-shop you have never been to...$78..... Don't forget dinner and to pay skins haha... Spends like $400 in 5 hours LOL I am not saying this is cheap by any means, but golf is not a cheap sport that is for sure, many find this price affordable to continue to play the game during winter months, heck that guys golf day above covers like 15% of it haha :) Just an FYI though seriously, you can get a Garmin R10 for $599, hit into a net with an iPhone and still have some great fun. As you get addicted and want more accurate results you continue to spend more and more, it is just nature of the space. Thanks for watching!!
@@GolfSimulatorVideos On the other hand I pay $20 to walk 18 and go home for food.
@@sbvikings30 all relative😂 try racing or aviation hobbies
@@Clint328 snow skiing and scuba diving are two that come to mind they cost astronomically more than golf.
Beautiful, I am planning one. This will be a great help.
Great to hear. Thanks for watching 🍻
Nice video. There really is a lack of complete DIY simulator instructions out there. I just completed building my own DIY simulator and it literally took weeks of research on each component of the build. Everything from the impact screen, frame, projector, and the mats. My objective was to build the nicest enclosure for the least amount of money. I see lots of people out there showing off pretty janky setups, but my setup is very close to what you showed and I can verify that the Optoma gt1080hdr projector is a great value. Keep up the great work!
Yes you are mentioning the exact reason I made this video. This is the lowest price point quality all in one package for sure and as you can see built it all by myself. Shocking how easy it is, this enclosure package really makes it simple and low-cost of course. Thanks for watching.
Jeff what enclosure did you buy? The one he has listed are pretty pricey at over $2300.
Good job! We're going to need a few of these.
Thanks! Awesome golf was a perfect fit here :) Would be glad to help get a package deal for you guys.
Great video man! I started looking into this and was terrified of the pricing. This gives me hope!
Thanks. Feel free to email me and I can send a list of links and packages that help save as well. Thanks for watching
for people that think this is expensive, this is about 10% of the cost of those simulators you go to to pay by the hour. This is an incredible budget build that i absolutely want to make happen someday soon. Thank you for this video!
You're welcome. I was just telling someone that I consider this low entry level. It has no putting which is fine and is just part of the low price you pay, and Mevo+ or SkyTrak are 3.5 times the cost as entry level units with putting. It's all about overall value. Thanks for watching and commenting, Joe!
sooo true Joe - i’ve kicked my spot and throwing an order in. 👍🏻👍🏻
Definitely the next step in my second simulator. Thanks man!
Thanks for watching 🍻
Thanks for all the tips Jay! Really appreciated 🏌️♂️⛳️
Thanks for watching 🍻
Great video and review of a low budget practice golf simulator...Thanks....Earnest Sports makes some nice golf launch monitors that work with a I Pad....not sure about simulator projectors....
Thanks for watching. I have tested ES. Best value and data in this price point seems to be Mevo+ and SkyTrak From my testing.
I want this exact set up! With mevo+ great videos btw!
Thanks! Appreciate you watching!
Nice setup. I think when I do mine, I'll try to pull the lay the screen quite taut and then have some memory foam or (enclosed drywall insulation???) as a backer so the ball does not spring back at me. Not sure if this will reduce the life of the screen or not, but the less wrinkles the better I think.
Brilliant! Big thanks for sharing this build.
thank you for sharing! nicely done!
Thank you, I appreciate you watching!
Hi Jay! You've inspired me to build my own golf sim! Quick question - have you noticed any bar sagging/bending from hanging your projector off the front bar of the enclosure? I'd like to not have to mount my projector from the ceiling and love the way you did it, but wondering if the heaviness of the projector would wear down that bar.
Yes some sag for sure. It's definitely a more temporary type of set up or mobile use. I would for sure recommend doing a ceiling mount for a more permanent and better longevity set up
Hi - thanks for the excellent video on DIY setup! Question - Did you have to remove your garage door opener (usually attached to the ceiling)?
No, but I have the side mounted style so only rails on the sides no center.
Hi,Jay, this is indeed a great design. I have a few questions that I need your help to answer. First, do I need ribs on the top of the screen? I am worried about whether the middle position of the upper part of the screen falls due to the weight. Second, when using a 56-degree wedge, does the ball rebound severely after hitting the top of the screen? Will it bounce back to myself on the golfmet?
I am not sure what you mean by ribs, this is an all-in one package. Come with everything you need as you saw me assemble, no need for any modifications. I have tested all my clubs so far and the bounceback is very minimal as you can see here. Those were full blown 9 irons! :)
You do a great job effeciently doing this video. No nononsense. Thanks
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Bought this exact setup (using the discount code…thanks!!) and set it up last night. Thanks so much!
Awesome! You're welcome 🍻
Did you get the mevo or flight scope ?
@@anwardfyith5955 I went with the SkyTrak. Seems to be really accurate so far.
@@AlanBrockImages thanks for sharing, Alan
You’re so engaging it’s lovely. I meant to watch a few minutes of your video but man the tips! the honesty! the great reviews and insight into all the products!! I don’t golf much and all of the sudden I am out here looking to build my own “diy affordable home golf simulator” (take a shot every time he says that if you want to pregame to a party with your golf buddies)
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Could you post some videos of the impact screen playing TGC 2019? I have an older projector (BenQ MX819ST). Graphics are pretty good but wash out during ball flight or if background scenery is moving. Would like to see impact screen video of a few holes in full 1080p.
I will see what I can do. I switched to a desktop in the GSV studio so not as easy to just grab the laptop now. But, you should see the same image from iPad or PC as far as brightness goes. That is all on the projector and how dark the room is. It was pretty bright when I did this since I needed the area to be lit for recording, still a solid image from the Optoma 1080hdr. Thanks for watching.
Great video, how did you actually attach the projector mount to the enclosure? I bought the mount from your link but the actual installation is timelaps in your video.
Love this. I’ve been hesitant to do any of this. You make it seem possible. I was going to do a shed in the backyard but I’m thinking my garage with your setup because it’ll be cheaper. Do you see this working with pulling my car in and out if I only need to lay the matt down each time? What problems do you foresee?
I do know a lot of people that just have it in the back and move the mat and pull their car in. Especially if you have a wider format you can even pull into the enclosure area if needed. Feel free to email me for details. a98cr125@gmail.com Thanks for watching!
Can you please show a close up of how the projector mount attaches to the hitting bay pole? Thats what im having trouble with now.
Got this one. It's great!
Nice. Thanks for watching
Thank You.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! 🍻
I use foam balls with my kids but love the idea of using a simulator and real balls. If you hit a wild shot off the toe of the clubface at a distance of say 10' from the screen, will the enclosure be likely to catch the ball, with the 5' deep walls?
I mean it would have to be a big big miss but anything is possible right? :) you can go to the 10x10x10 to fix that since it is 10ft deep. Thanks for watching 🍻
I have a similar set up except the screen where I have a retractable screen 8X10 that hangs over my garage and can park a car under it. I did it under $5000 with skytrak.
How necessary are the gym tiles? What do they do? Thanks for the video. I bought the enclosure...love it
They level the turf to the hitting mat. For the money it's a nice clean look and if going Mevo+ you need the level surface for putting. Thanks for watching
Thanks Jay great video!
Couple questions. Is the projector used or new? If new can you post a link to the eBay seller?
Also, which mat on 24/7 is that in your setup?
Thanks!
No it is used! $400 on eBay from a random seller! Just use this link and code GSV100 the mat it part of the 24/7 enclosure package you can pick :) topshelfgolf.com/products/247-golf-simulator-enclosure/?rfsn=3805828.a52ddc
amazing video
Hey jay. Great video Exactly what I’m looking for in terms of diy Skytrak or mevo ?
Hey, awesome job. Had a quick question regarding the projector. Is there a reason why you chose Optoma GT1080HDR? Is it because of its relatively decent price/value? If you have a bit more budget to spare, would you upgrade the projector or something else? (I am thinking of getting Optoma UHD35) Will the video quality really that different? Thanks in advance!
Yeah it was all about budget, I found it on eBay cheap pre-owned. There are a ton of short throw options out there including higher end Optoma models with the same throw ratio. More lumens and higher resolutions lead to better image quality.
Great video, been interested in a diy setup for a while but not sure I have a big enough space for it. What would be the minimum space you'd need for the setup you have? Including room to swing/ball to screen distance etc.
Sorry I missed this. Space depends on the technolgoy and some certain use like Right/Left players etc. The standard go to for a full sim comfortable R/L center tee position is 15' wide, 10' tall ceiling and 20-25ft deep. But there are options for much smaller and bigger depending. Feel free to email me to discuss. a98cr125@gmail.com
This is exactly what I'm looking for. Tried finding the $1599 enclosure in the link but couldn't see it? Is there another link?
This is awesome. Thanks a bunch for doing this video. Do you know if the "level and flat" requirement is super explicit with the Mevo + ? My garage floor slopes down from the house towards the large garage fold-up doors. So it is "level" side to side, but it angles upwards (if hitting towards interior of house, and downwards if hitting towards the garage doors) so it wouldn't be level that direction but would be "flat". If that makes any sense. ;-) Thanks again!
Correct that is only for the flightscope Mevo+. If you are worried about interference or having a level ground etc. you may want to just go a SkyTrak. I have a video explaining both of them in-depth you can check out
@@GolfSimulatorVideos thanks!
How to you expand the screen on the projector thru the laptop? You said something about in video control panels settings? Thank you for the great video
you the real MVP
Hahaha. Thanks for watching 🍻
Great example Jay. It helps a lot.....
Great to hear! I get so many people looking to do something like this, hopefully it shows everyone an example of how you can accomplish a really nice set up for a decent budget and also do it completely by yourself :). Thanks for watching! 🍻
awsom video jay! :D
Thanks 🍻
Thanks for the video! Can you post a picture of how you bolted the projector mount to the top bar of the frame?
Sure, I'll probably have to do it on Facebook to the TH-cam community page. Won't be able to do it for a day or so but will get it done. Thanks for watching 🍻
@@GolfSimulatorVideos Did you post a picture of the projector mount? If so, can you provide a link? Thanks!
Nice video. For the SkyTrak unit, if you really mis-hit a ball, could you possibly hit the ball into the floor unit?
In my opinion it would take a massive shank, but it could happen so they offer a metal case/stand to protect the unit if you are worried about that happening. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video!!! This setup is what I need for my house!!!
Thanks for watching
Any experience using a hitting screen that is a bit more quiet? Perhaps the Carl’s Golf Premium screen..any thoughts on this? Thanks
Nice work.
Thanks Patrick! Appreciate you watching! I figured this video would be extremely relevant to so many people showing how you can do your own build at a reasonable cost but literally by yourself.
What a great video, excellent job! I have e-mailed you for the information.
Awesome. Will reply ASAP. Thanks for watching
Just got a house with a 34x26x9 garage wife says i can do what ever i want with it. But I a budget lol. I will email you with questions. Thank you. Great channel great video.
Awesome. Thanks for watching
I want it! Great movie 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
I'm hoping to get a machine that will give distance before or after the ball at a price. So far only seeing that up in the Trackman "arm and a leg" devices.
That's not true at all, Steve. Many options are out there. Shoot me an email. a98cr125@gmail.com
My setup is a little bigger but that is basically what I built myself. With computer, Skytrack, Protee, etc etc I was all in for $5500.
Thanks for watching Greg, this was under $2,700 so even add a SkyTrak or Mevo and you are only at $4,700 and if you went 13' wide only $5000.
Great Vid! Curious about use of Mevo Flightscope or the Garmin R10 to lower the price even more?
I showed Mevo+ here. You could for sure do r10 with this setup as well and would be much less. Check out my r10 videos for comparison. Thanks for watching
That was simply awesome. Will definitely keep you in mind when I am ready to build. What is the lowest ceiling height for this build?
Appreciate that. Probably 9ft to be safe. Thanks for watching
Hi, I currently have an outdoor enclosure cage with the turf and the Garmin R10. I am looking to try to move my setup so that I can practice more indoor. I am looking of purchasing an outdoor shed what would you recommend the minimum size should be considering I am using the Garmin R10.
I’m new to this but does the projector the way you have it at 7 feet on the frame or if from the ceiling, get in the way of the golf swing? My ceiling is 9 ft high. Or is the projector much farther forward? I’d heard Mevo plus need 8 feet of travel in front so that would seem close. Thanks.
This is great.
Do you plan to get the new Full Swing radar launch monitor?
Not as of right now. I talked to them but sounds like they are very early in the stages and have not heard back. I read recently it will not do putting and might be a little limited for simulation. We'll see and I will for sure try to cover if it seems like a product that interests many. Thanks for watching.
I have all the components and am ready to build. The I noticed is that it looks like the projector would be in harms way if mounted dead center. It looks like you offset it. How far did you move off center?
Hi Jay! Looove the content, mevo+ in particular, so many thanks! Can you comment on whether or not the projector being mounted on the ceiling in front of Mevo+ impacts readings? I know ‘loud’ noises could affect performance of readings, so curious if ceiling mounted projects could run an issue. Thanks! 🙏
Every environment is unique. If it does interfere, all you have to do is wrap it is steel mesh and it will block the interference! Thanks for watching
@@GolfSimulatorVideos so awesome, thanks Jay! 🙏
:) Golfers define DIY differently I guess. Buying a package and assembling it isn't DIY but its a nice set up
Haha. Well I think they is because Golf Simulators for years we're generally all a custom design and install by companies. So now that you can buy a package and install it yourself they are a form of DIY, but I get what you are saying for sure. Thanks for watching!
Hey Jay!! Love your content man. Looks like the link to the putting turf is broken. Do you have an alternative?
I think they sold out. You can easily get really nice SynLawn from Lowe's now. A great choice. Thanks for watching!

I didn't think I had the space either (and perhaps you don't) but after some rearranging I managed to pull it off in my small garage. I go over dimensions and stuff in a vid I posted about my build if you are interested.
I have a memo+ and I got a forb pro flex pop up net 8ftx8ftx8ft. Feels a bit tight with driver but catches wedges nicely. Initially it was good for lockdown and working on my strike and yardages. Any ideas on outdoor projectors? Would love to use it as a true sim
Most people for outdoor just use temp setups to use and take down each session but alternatively I have see some use enclosures with doors that open and close when using it.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos yeah just wondering if there were any screens and projectors that are "quick" and not permanent I could use if I wanted to have a few friends over.
Love the setup but there's one thing I'm confused about. The piping on that enclosure frame doesn't look very thick. How does that hold a 10lb projector with a 3lb mounting bracket?
Works fine for me as you can see here. I would always recommend ceiling mount if you can just because it will of course be more sturdy and easy to mount. The purpose here was a stand alone and my ceilings were very tall.
Outstanding! Would you mind re-posting links for the components, namely the mat and enclosure, please? Thanks!
Shoot me an email I can provide all the details. a98cr125@gmail.com

Hi Jay, I bought this enclosed with your help and it is very good! Just wondering what you used for bolts to attach the projector. Length, diameter etc,
If I missed that in the links I apologize ahead of time but didn’t see that info
Nice! Honestly they literally were two bolts I had in my toolbox I didn't even use a specific length they actually stuck out probably 2 inches too far. They were just a standard half-inch style bolt nothing special.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos thanks Jay!! Going to guess yours would be 3-4” long then? Just going to grab a couple today
@@bradmiller8664 yeah o think they were about 3". Email me I can send you a picture.
Also, I noticed the projector you used was different from the ones on Top Shelf golf. How does the projector you used compare to those projectors?
Yeah the one I used is just a little older and Lower lumens. I just bought it used for the video. Thanks for watching 🍻
What are you using for the runway from the mevo+ To hitting mat? Just turf and a few of the foam tiles? Thanks in advance!
Yes just a piece of turf and a few foam tiles. Anything a few feet wide and level will work just fine. Gym tiles are great. Thanks for watching
Great video. A question about the mevo+ and the hitting mat. Is it centered on the mat when you are hitting or did you move out to align with the ball? I'm looking at a similar setup and am struggling with the lefty and righty configuration. Can the mevo capture both righty and lefty from a centre position?
Hi Jeff, I have it centered for this. I do place the ball a little off center, which is fine to do. Thanks for watching 🍻
Thanks for the reply. So what's your thoughts on the mevo being used on center of a 5x5 hitting mat for both lefty's and rightys being slightly offset versus a centre hitting strip with standing platforms on both sides?
@@jeffalmeida2776 based on what I have tested here and you can see should work well. That's how I am setup in the video.
I just purchased this package, so thank you for your review. I hope it works with Garmin's new R-10 Approach - would love to see a review about that from you!
Unfortunately, the link for the putting turf no longer works - do you have a new link that should work with the mats and dimensions? Thank you in advance for the advice and videos!
Oh no, I wonder if they sold out. The good thing about turf is it's even available at local Lowe's etc. I will review the R10 but I'm trying to help people understand that I don't really think that device is going to be competitive in the actual simulation space. It does not do putting and spin in estimated based on a larger margin of error than normal using club data. So I think it's more of a outdoor range tool. Definitely plan on testing it and giving it it's fair shot.
Hey Jay. Two questions. First of all, what is your distances here with mevo plus, unit to ball and ball to screen. Also, your mevo is against the garage door, they recommend a foot from a wall, is that not necessary?
I talk about all of that in the video. 8ft unit to ball and little over 9' ball to screen. Unit is probably 8-10" from the garage door. Thanks for watching 🍻
I have attic access directly above where I would like to put this enclosure. Can a couple of people move it easily once it's fully assembled? Thanks and great video!
Yes we moved it around my garage before disassembling. It was pretty easy I even slid it around by myself a few times.
Hey Jay! Great job on the DIY simulator video. I just bought the new Rapsodo 2 MLM Pro and plan to put something similar together. I’ll be checking out the info you share on the complimentary items required to complete the package. Am I correct in thinking that you don’t sell the gear, that you are just trying g to help people out? Thank you
Cheers,

Nice. Correct I do not directly sell anything. I have partners that can extend everything from special prices to discount codes so just email me when you are ready and I can show you various options. Thanks for watching! 🍻 Jay
Very informative and looks promising. I’d like to know if there is a video of using a driver. Thanks.
I will try to do a driver video soon. Thanks for watching.
That’s nice. Thanks.
So if I buy the 10 x 10 10 what are the room dimensions need to hit driver? Also to play courses what is the best simulator to buy? Looks for fairly accurate speed and distance for all clubs. Putting not as important. Like integrated mats. Lovely setup. Thanks mike
Hi Michael, Thanks for watching and commenting. So it really depends on the user and the preferred setup. You can set things up slightly off centered and probably can get away with a room about 12' wide depending on the size of golfer and driver length is just where you want to always test the room size yourself with small slow swings etc. I have seen people fit sims in rooms just wide enough to fit an enclosure like this with a offset setup!
@@GolfSimulatorVideos thank you so much. Mike
I plan on doing a 13 or 14 foot wide screen, how many of the tiles do you think ill need?
They have a 13' wide version of this setup. It's the perfect 4:3. Link in description. Easy just do the sq footage you want. Each pack is 72 sq ft.
Is it possible to use foam balls? Thinking about doing this at my office, but sound could be an issue.
Thank you for the video!
Not really. Any good launch monitor measures the ball so will it show it and even somewhat close distance on short shots, sure but spin will be way off and distance would get worse and worse as you hit linger shots.
Jay,
I’m assuming the optimum location for a ceiling mounted projector would be over the top of the ball, correct? This would pretty much guarantee there will be no flop shots that could hit the projector. In the typical short indoor set up for the mevo plus that would mean a throw distance of 8 feet which is why A short throw projector would be ideal.
But, in my garage, I need to have the mevo+ set up at 19 feet from screen. (this is because of the three car garage set up. I will need to move two cars out onto the driveway. The third space is open. In order to prevent having to set up and calibrate the mevo plus each time we use it (thereby allowing both cars to be parked in the garage) I will need to have it in the open third garage bay. But, this is about 19 feet from the screen. )
Since the ball needs to be 8 feet from the mevo plus that means it will be 11 feet from the screen.
My question then is-
Will a short throw projector still work with 11 feet of throw distance or do I need a regular projector?
Thx in advance
Yes but many are just in front or behind depending on throw and screen size etc. Plug in your numbers with a throw ratio of your projector at the pro calculator on projectorcentral.com. That will tell you exactly where it needs to be for your screen size etc.
Jay, thanks for this video. One question. Does the projector interfere with your swing. In the video, it looks real close. Did you use the 1” tiles?
No not at all. Basically directly above that's what is nice. The link to the tiles in in the description, but yes 1" thick. Thanks for watching 🍻
It would be for me. If I teed up too high on a drive I could definitely have a miss hit that could make it a victim. I've had a driving net set up in my garage for years now and have many drywall, dents in random areas. I just recently set up a SkyTrak simulator. I have my short throw projector in a box that I made and covered with turf that was far cheaper than the metal one that was for sale. I'm in the process of setting up a spotlight for the ball cuz some people say that helps for more accuratings readings for the sky track. So far, I haven't had it adjusted accurately and the miss hits were far more extreme than they should have been. I've also had good hits that have read bad. I have a 15 ft wide impact panel with blackout curtains behind it and no side protection. I'm close enough to the screen, to where I can use a 60° and not hit the ceiling. The trick I'm having with the projector on the floor is getting proper center alignment for optical play in conjunction with my surroundings. It's set up slightly out of skew.
@@noone1mportant.357 thanks. At this point, I’m not using a projector. I got by last year just looking at the results on my iPad. I’ve more or less decided that if I do use a projector it’s going to be on floor as I don’t have enough clearance to hit a driver right now.
Hi, thanks for the videos, my ceiling is to high...what are the cons to setup the projector on the floor? Protected by a case and the carpet?
Mainly just a clean look. But does keep it out of the way for putting. Many use floor mounts/cases. Thanks for watching!
@@GolfSimulatorVideos Do you think that the floor mount can interfere with mevo+?
Thanks for your help
@@ignacioalvarez4470 many are using them successfully. Also you can use steel mesh to block the projector from interference
Great video. I’ve seen that SkyTrack offers some of these as well but for the same price as everything you have minus the projector. Impressive!!!
My partner offers no tax, free shipping, and my discounts. So be sure to email me if you are interested. Thanks for watching. a98cr125@gmail.com
This is awesome. I will email to pick your brain. This has been the best video and setup I have seen. What monitors are you using? Two different ones?
So the two systems the flight scope you need good distance behind you facing the screen and the skytrack tue system is by the ball? That is what I’m gathering. My kids are right hand I’m left.
Hi, I’m new to all of this. Could you explain what all the different software/technology are used for and how they work together? Thank you
Hi Ben, thanks for watching. It would take me more words than I could fit anywhere online that is why I provide such a vast amount of videos which all talk about the different software and integration etc. Check out some of the different playlist in the channel and the unboxings or set up videos etc. You should be able to find everything you need and have a good understanding.
Hey Jay. The link for the projector mount took me to a tripod/stand.. is that correct ? I am interested in building something similar to this setup. Appreciate your work!
Me too. The tripod doesn't seem to apply. Can you update the link?
It seems like a good starting set up if you have the indoor room. My problem is I am building it outside in my yard (Ceilings in my garage are not high enough) and this unit is listed as Indoors only.
Outdoors you would just want to use a net setup. This could be be used outdoors but you would want it covered to prevent wear and tear from water and the elements.
No screen and projector setup is going to work well outdoors. Use a net
@@imasspeons that really is not true. Many have set them up and protected from the elements one way or another, but yes just setting out outside in the open, no this is not intended for that, but there are options.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos at the point where you've built a structure to shade and protect the setup from weather and wear, the question of it being outdoors becomes academic, IMO. It's basically inside.
@@imasspeons many do it. You really only need a roof in nice climates, I see it all the time.
Great video. what is the projector make and model?
In this video I used a optima 1080hdr
With the 10x10x10 enclosure, would you still need to be hitting from outside or could you hit inside the enclosure? Only have 14' depth but like the added protection on the sides
You would position yourself right at the entry or your could do slightly inside, really up to how far from the screen you want. In this video I was just over 9ft ball to screen.
I really want to get into something like this for my 3rd car garage or in my main garage since it’s long enough plus I can always roll up the mat or put it to the side when I’m not using. Questions: 1: how ya are your garage ceiling and do you have a normal garage door opener or a side wall mount yes opener? 2: looks fine with most all clubs however how is it hitting say a full 60 degree wedge with the projector there? 3: for the price… would you prefer the sky track or flight-scope? I like that the flight scope comes with E6? My main goal is to work on the range, course play and occasionally online tournaments. Just have to convince the wife I need THIS!
This is a side garage door opening. Wedges actually are find as long as you are not too far away and not intentionally launching high which no reason to in a sim environment. Feel free to email me and I can provide you information various items.
nice video,,how does the hdmi dongle work? and which do you prefer the mevo plus or skytrack,,,i have enough room for either,,ty-mike
You just can get an Apple lightning or USB-C dongle to HDMI very simple. It is all about if you have the space and proper setup for Mevo+. Watch my Which One You Should buy video.

Hi Jay, can you show exactly how you mounted the projector to the frame?
Bolted it direct to the pipe. I suggest ceiling mounting if you can but this is an ok solution.
now i just need 12-foot ceilings in my garage. great build sir
Most sim builds are only 9ft-10ft tall ceilings so it is not necessary to go 12 unless you just want to. Thanks for watching!
I did my build with 9 1/2 foot ceilings. I'm not that tall though (5 11).
What did you mean by 12 degrees for full simulation golf vs 17 degrees? Thanks
The tilt of the Mevo+. If you are using that launch monitor it sits at 12 degrees for simulation with putting. 17 degrees for FS golf and other full shot software. Thanks for watching
I have that same projector. How didbyou get it to work with a universal mount? Mine has a weird 3 screw configuration and I can't seem to manipulate the arms to fit.
I was able to get mine to work. Not sure maybe you got a different mount?
