Hi,great video.I have been using a simulator for about 3 years now.Hitting off and old range mat will eventually hurt your wrists.What you need is a 5' x 1' hitting strip laid into your present mat.They are really not that expensive now and offer a thicker and more forgiving feel.Fitting is easy,just cut out a slot with a sharp knife.Since fitting mine I've had no problems at all.
I second this. I bought more expensive hitting mat and the difference is night and day as they have more layers and the impact is less harsh. But for a home Sim I would use a hitting strip like suggested so you can easily replace it. I also use graphite shafts (first steelfiber, now fujikura axiom) and those have been unbelievable in removing wrist and elbow pain. Steelfiber feels very similar to steel shafts and the axiom while different feel performs better for me than steel. Btw thanks for the vid, am really keen to upgrade from the rapsodo mlm2pro and the eye mini lite is top of the pile as it seems to cover nearly all bases at the most affordable price.
@tezzlacoilz Thanks for the comment! We are looking at different inserts but have yet to pull the trigger on any. I do highly recommend the eye mini but the subscription fee is kind of a bummer.
Great DIY setup. Had not seen anyone suspend the frame from the ceiling like that, but it is simple and effective. You should be able to reduce the bounceback by removing some of the bungees.
I just ordered this launch monitor yesterday, and I can’t wait to get it. How’s the putting? Have you been putting on GS pro much, and how does it compare to real putting?
Love the DIY nature of this build! I am in the research phase but am about to start buying things and putting them together. What graphics card do you have in your computer and what settings are you running GSPro on?
Jealous of that room! I have a relatively cheap setup in my garage with a net and cheap projector. It’s totally fine for what it is but it sure gets insanely hot in there in the summer time
Do you think i can get away with running the ryzen 5 5500 processor with this. Also my pc has one ethernet port thats being used atm. So im confused on how i get around that issue.
I'm not familiar with the amd cards but I'd imagine that it'd work fine. As far as ethernet connection, you really only need the one port going to the launch monitor if your pc does have wifi capability.
Hi Mike, we just bought standard blackout curtains and have them around 8-10" from the wall. They're WAY cheaper then any other method we'd found and have worked out really well so far. An occasional hard shank will hit the wall but it doesn't have enough energy to make any real damage. Good luck with your build!
Okay, I have been searching for a UA-camr that doesn’t have a million subscribers (yet) and shows their set ups and reviews the EM lite (what I’m looking to buy). So questions: 1. Can you speak on any misreads, inaccurate data, or downfalls you have had thus far? 2. Could I request a video where you go through and just kinda play around with / demo the data and software that inherently comes with the EM lite? As in, click through the different club selection, how it stores your data, and generally any other features you see useful. That would be insanely helpful. 3. Tips on how to convince my wife it’s time for me to upgrade.
Thank you for the kind comment! Miss reads were on my mind, too, especially after my initial research and looking into the skytrak. So far, with the EM, it hasn't given any misses, but it does have a "hitting zone" that if you're too close to the edge and you don't notice then it wont track it. So, more user error I'd say. As far as software on the EM, I don't use it because one of my needs going into the build was the launch monitor I want needs to be able to run gs pro. I spent probably 10 minutes in Uneekors range and it felt kind of arcade like. Also, the program isn't windowed (I'm sure there's a setting) and I couldn't get it on to the projector screen, so I just gave up. I will say that if you do want to run a third party software, then Uneekor makes you by their pro version, which is 200 bucks annually. (I think you have to do that anyways for access to their courses) To comment on convincing your wife, I asked mine and her response was, I've been having fun learning golf with you. The kids are getting better and you're home more. Lol I hope I was able to answer your questions well enough. Good luck, and have an epic day!
Awe, my bad! W10' H12' L14.5' I think to be safe while hitting your driver, you'd need a 9 ft ceiling with this kind of launch monitor, which is a photometric style you can get away with 12 ft length. I hope this info helps and I hope you have a space for it.

Scotty mug shot takes the vid to a higher level. appreciate the post and info.
Dude thank you! I love that thing so much!

Thanks for the advice! I'll see what I can find. It would be nice to have that strip to replace rather than a whole mat also when it wears down.
@@ForjGolf check out the Sigpro Softy. It made a huge difference for me,
Right on Jake! Thank you!

Thanks for the kind words, the suspension has worked out so far.
I will give that a try!
Distances on the clubs is smart. Going to do that
Thanks

In general I'm not a good putter but it's actually pretty crazy how good it is.
New Sub & Fellow Utahn here! 👌

I have a Nvidia 3060ti, but due to my projector I bought i can't utilize the card to it's full potential. I definitely recommend getting a 4k one.
Jealous of that room! I have a relatively cheap setup in my garage with a net and cheap projector. It’s totally fine for what it is but it sure gets insanely hot in there in the summer time
Dude! That totally works out for now. Someday you'll get that upgrade
Are those the Cobra SS forged irons?? My favorite set all time if so.
Yes they are! I love them so much.
@@ForjGolf I passed my PAT with them 15 years ago, still have them in the rotation.
What aspect ratio gets the projected image on the full screen and what aspect ratio are you displaying?
I think it's 4:3. I was originally pretty bummed about it but it's worked just fine
@ thanks. Re-reading that question makes me think I was on the sauce when I wrote it
Lol! Party on brother!
Do you find the that the curtains will stop an shanked shot?
They do some what. It's not the perfect setup by any means, but it works.
Do you think i can get away with running the ryzen 5 5500 processor with this. Also my pc has one ethernet port thats being used atm. So im confused on how i get around that issue.

Buy a cheap switch. Then you can run as many ether cables the switch can handle to whatever devices you want.
I’ve got an EML on the way-what case do you have protecting yours?
Hey congrats man! I just made one out of 2 x 8s and put some paint on it. Glad I did too. (Had a couple balls hit it)
@@ForjGolf looks pretty slick-would you share some close up footage? I assume the front is open?
I just posted a short for you. I hope it helps. It's really easy to do, if I did you definitely can! Good luck
sigpro softy to prevent injuries
Yes that's definitely coming in the near future!
With the eye mini lots do you have to pay a subscription to use it with gspro?
Unfortunately there is a 200 dollar fee to use 3rd party apps like gs pro, but it's worth it!
What side curtains did you use?

hahaha - wrist issues...I don't care! agree completely..
Yep, not at all!
What is your screen size?
120" × 120" it's a carls place standard which cost us 230 bucks.
What’s aim dimsensions width height length
Do you mean the impact screen? If so it's 10' x 10' and we also hit from around 10 feet away.
@ I meant ceiling height in your hitting bay, width left to right swing space
Awe, my bad! W10' H12' L14.5' I think to be safe while hitting your driver, you'd need a 9 ft ceiling with this kind of launch monitor, which is a photometric style you can get away with 12 ft length. I hope this info helps and I hope you have a space for it.
@ my dimensions for mine are 16 ft wide, 19 feet long and 9’feet ceilings.
@nathanstrand4132 oh dude you're chillin!
