Made a few improvements prepping for winter league.

 

just finished blowing insulation into the attic of the building. already less drafty. 

 

you can see in both photos i added a photography backdrop screen from amazon to my hitting net with tarp clips. the image quality improvement is night and day. i only have a $250 sub-HD projector. 

 

repurposed some foam tiles from my workshop bench for a better hitting area. 

 

next up is build enclosure. 

 

thanks for kind words. i wouldnt trade this space for anything. 

 

 

 

Awesome setup!  You might consider getting a canvas drop cloth to hang in front of the screen when you are not using the projector.  I find that I don't turn my projector on very often anymore and I would still have my expensive golf projector screen if I had done that 5 years ago.  LOL I only have the drop cloth now which is good enough for me as a projection screen but probably not for most people...

What a great transformation! Incredible. I love everything except the Seachickens Flag 😜 Go Niners! haha.. But this is perfect especially when it's cold out. I just got the Bushnell Launch pro. Started with a SkyTrack > Mevo+ > Bushnell Launch Pro. Just trying to find a cheap way of making a frame with the black curtains on the side.

 

How did you make the hitting screen straight without the balls flying back at you? Thanks!

I got a bunch of tiny bungee cords for harbor freight. they have the same cords at Lowes for a little more.  I only pulled the screen tight enough to make it straight. Pulled too tight and you will get bounce back. I have a Carls Place screen, they have good amount of forgiveness. I also used every grommet. I tried doing every other one at first but the screen was wavy.

Great room with a tasteful selection of flags.

Great set up.  What mat are you using with the optishot?

i think its just the standard optishot mat on their website. its 4x5 and 1.5" thick. it probably over priced but has held up really well. i had the optishot for 4 years. when i got my skytrak i filled the hole for the optishot, turned the mat around 180 and hit off it. good foam padding so never had an issue with elbow or wrist getting sore.
