Small room. Curious to see if anyone has a build close to these dimensions, perhaps they could share their experience.
i'm 6'4. Standard club lengths.
15'x15' room with 10' ceilings.
Looking to use either a Square or get another GC2.
Enclosure would be 9' or 10' Tall x 12' Wide, with 3' walls. Need to check projector central for what would look best for the 9' or 10' height. But concerned about being able to hit the walls of the enclosure, even at 3'. As I have tried a 13' wide x 5' wall enclosure and would hit the wall with driver ( same distance from screen )
I'd have to do something about those windows to protect them. (PIC 2) I did try to rotate it but then comes a problem with being able to walk to those to rooms identified by "door", follow through and back swing with driver could hit wall to the left and right of the hitting position.
TLDR Lots of words. Lots of little concerns. Anyone have a 15' x 15' room they can share their pros and cons?

Bit too small IMO. You may end up messing up your swing due to the confined space.
Interested to hear everyone’s thoughts. I have same dimensions but don’t really care about blocking doors. I plan to set it up like your first picture. I’m shorter so that might help me.
I have 14×13 and it’s fine. Hit 8’ from the screen. A tad offset. No drivers. With a BLP
I think you can. You’re much taller than me (5’9) so hard to tell, but I have a 12’ wide enclosure in a 14’ wide room, I hit at 7-8’ and have a couch at around 13.5 feet from screen (14.5 from wall) and don’t hit it or even worry about it. My depth of my enclosure is 2.5’ (30inches) and that’s what I’d recommend for you. I think you’d be fine. Go with bullseye enclosure so you have the shock cord so it doesn’t have any bounce back and they don’t charge extra for custom enclosure. Hope this helps!
15′ of depth is the only issue with this. And honestly it might be possible still but you have to plan carefully. 1′ to screen, 7′ to ball, then another 7′ to back wall should work, in theory, even at your height.
But it is gonna feel *so tight* with a driver. Will probably give you a good case of indoor swing syndrome, and it might be cutting it too close tbh.
If you do try it – you can get custom enclosure sizes where they aren’t as deep. But also you might want to consider hanging the screen directly from the walls/doing a custom built in. I think if you go ahead with this you probably need to accept in advance that it might have to be irons only. If you were shorter I’d say you are probably ok but you are gonna feel crampedddd.
