Projectors & screens
Golf Simulator Screen-to-Ball Distance Guide
Screen-to-ball distance must satisfy both safety/ricochet needs and the exact launch-monitor tracking geometry.
Quick checks
- 10–12 ft is common planning territory.
- Garmin R10 needs ball at least 8 ft from net/screen.
- Uneekor recommends 12 ft, with 10 ft minimum potentially workable.
Closer is not always better
Too little distance can increase bounce-back and high-loft shot risk.
More distance changes projector geometry
A deeper hitting position can create shadows or require a different projector throw range.
How we use specifications
GolfSimulatorVerdicts treats room size, mounting height and placement as compatibility constraints rather than quality scores. Current manufacturer documentation controls exact installation.
