I have a carport Simulator. So I don't have a traditional enclosure set up. The bottom bar is nasty when you top a ball or something. Idk how someone hasn't died 🤣. I want something that looks good and maybe acts as a nice ball return when u hit the actually screen. Like a super wide, triangle shape that can go on top the bottom bar? Any suggestions please. Thanks.

Try gutter foam along the bottom edge.

Technically the best is don’t top the ball lol
Pool cove works well….

I used a rolled up heavy blanket I bought on Amazon. Balls die when I hit into it.

I bought some memory foam pillows and black satin pillow cases from Amazon and lay them across the bottom of my screen. Works great but looks a little messy. My sim enclosure is elevated 5” off the ground so had room to lay the pillows without interfering with projected image
Something like this from Amazon. I had the same problem. Got one of these. It happens a driver shot safely.
I no longer fear hitt8ng a low shot.

I bought a long cylindrical sandbag and it worked great.
I built a plywood ramp out of 2×4 and 2’x4′ plywood, it’s about a 12 degree ramp, i placed it directly in front of the screen under the turf, and it works awesome. It deflects worm burners directly up into the screen, occasionally it’ll pop a shot up to hit the ceiling padding.
Bonus is that it works as a ball return ramp too.
Commenting just to actually check these ideas out when I build the barn

They make bed pillows you can stuff between the mattress and headboard. Perfect for the bottom
