GREAT video man. Do you think this would work in a room that has 9 foot ceilings ?
Great video! I am in the process of starting my build. The insert I want is 1.75 inches tall. You have anything you recommend I use to get the extra1/4” of height so floor matches up even with hitting mat?
Did carl's send you the dimensions for the pipe you used, since you sourced it on your own?
Did you consider horse stall flooring vs the gym mat you used?
THANK YOU
What is the stemp meter reading of your putting mat?
How far are you hitting from your screen? Looking at buying but there’s so much info out there that you need to be 12 feet away or more but that chews up a lot of space!
If you go the custom route, how important is it to maintain dimensions that fit a 4:3 ratio? For example, 10.5×8 is 4:3 perfectly, but if I have enough space to go 11×9 is it worth it? That's more like a 5:4 ratio. It's def more screen, but is it worth the hassle of trying to fill the screen completely with custom resolution etc? This is the analysis paralysis I currently have.
Curious: Why didn't you use the carls built in kit screen for this space of yours? Seems perfect for it.
May i know what kind of wall desk/rack that you have used for your pc setup?
I also want to set up a golf simulation room like yours, and your video was super helpful !!
One thing I’m curious about is whether the ball ever bounces hard off the screen or shanks into the opposite wall, potentially damaging it. It looks like there’s no protection for the walls away from the screen, so I’m a bit concerned. How has it been in your experience?
I'm building my simulator in an RV garage with an 18 foot ceiling. Is there a way to include some extra hardware into the enclosure to support the projector?
Great Video. I have questions about the bottom of the screen. In some shots I see no bottom border, in others I do. I want to know if the premium screen has one or not? Also, If your turf/gym flooring is not under the screen, but in from of it, do you ever have issues with balls dropping down between the turf and the screen at the bottom? Finally, If you did add a boarder yourself at the bottom, please let me know what it is. I am about to get the Carl's enclosure. My bay size is not exactly right for a 4:3 aspect. So I am going to have a little bit of dead white screen space at the top and bottom of my screen. Carl's Place told me they will not do a wider boarder for me. So I either have to live with it or do something else. I cannot make my enclosure shorter. So When I saw you had a bottom border I was wanting to know more about it.
Great "how to" video. Did you get the EMT connectors from Home Depot as well as the EMT pipe?
Great Great Great video. Thank you for all the info and your time. Earned a sub!!! About to order a custom Carls enclosure myself.. hoping to build a Murphy bed style retractable system. Gonna be a fun project!
I cant wait to create and show yall
Im building my sim out and i stole all of ur measurements. Thank u so much for sharing. I would never have thought i could afford this
Is there an affordable projector ubcould recommend?😢
Love the video. Where did you get the Rolex clock wall art, or is that something you made?
This is my dream set up. Looks amazing!
i wish my ceilings would accommodate this. id build this in a heart beat. great setup up
I tired using your promo code and it didn't work
Where'd you get that Rolex wall clock, so fire! Share link if you can!
I missed but did you cut the pipes yourself with a pipecutter
You are my go to with my simulator build. Thanks! There is a little delay in getting MoneyPutt flooring. Think it is worth waiting for vs something significantly cheaper like you could get at Home Depot or Amazon? Putting practice is definitely going to part of what I will be doing with the sim. Thanks again!
Very good & detailed vid, im looking forward to my build
Any suggestions on how to build a platform that would make my garage level? Slopes 1 degree so right edge of 15’ sim would be 2.5” above left edge
I have an Epson Home Cinema 3800 which seems big. Will any projector work or what do you recommend? I don’t need to have the most expensive one, but I’m willing to spend whatever so that I have a good product. Thank you for your help, sir.
