    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!

    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…

    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!

    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.

    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 seems like a very competitive offering, but I would recommend anyone out there on a serious budget to go the DIY route. I built my 10x10x5 enclosure myself for less than $700.
    Breakdown:
    11 x 1" EMT 10ft length(home depot) - 175$
    1 x Enclosure fittings(Cimmaron) - 99$ (Can be had for close to 70 if you buy each individually)
    1 x Impact projector screen 12x10 C-stock(gungho) - 167$
    11 x 4'6" Commando Cloth (chicago canvas) - 153$
    1 x Tarp Clips(amazon) - 15$
    2 x Tube Clips(amazon)- 25$
    1 x Ball Bungees(amazon) - 10$
    Total: $644

    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?

    • @GolfSimulatorVideos
      @GolfSimulatorVideos  3 роки тому +1

      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! :)

      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!

There are lots of reviews for each of them out there, with some many people preferring one over the other. If you don't have much length to your room, you will want the Skytrak. If you have a lot of length, you can use either one.
