In this video I will go over a all new golf simulator enclosure, talk about my entire DIY setup and what I used for turf, mat, projector, and more! After showing you how I built the entire golf simulator by myself in a cool time-lapse of the DIY setup and then I will demonstrate everything in action using the Flightscope Mevo+ with E6 Connect & Awesome Golf plus the SkyTrak Golf Launch Monitor.
Overall I am very impressed with the my new home golf simulator DIY budget build. I think that anyone looking to get a full home golf simulator for the best deal should consider this setup. It not only is very easy for one person to assemble the golf simulator enclosure & golf simulator screen, but the quality is great for the money.

When building your first home golf simulator you will most likely want to consider Flightscope Mevo+ or SkyTrak when doing an affordable DIY Golf Simulator Build.
About the Flightscope Mevo+
The Flightscope Mevo+ launch monitor is a radar based device that can work both indoor and outdoor for golf data and golf simulator use. Mevo+ provides Carry Distance, Club Head Speed, Smash Factor, Apex Height, Flight Time, Ball Speed, Vertical Launch Angle, Horizontal Launch Angle, Lateral Landing, Angle of Attack, Total Distance, Roll Distance, Spin Axis, Spin Rate and Spin Loft.
About the SkyTrak Golf Simulator
SkyTrak is a camera-based launch monitor that captures high-speed images of the ball immediately after impact. The images captured are used to measure parameters necessary to render shot shape and carry distance.
SkyTrak accurately captures, displays and contrasts your ball flight data. Key measurement parameters include: ball speed, launch angle, side spin, back spin, side angle and more.

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!

Hi Jay! You've inspired me to build my own golf sim! Quick question - have you noticed any bar sagging/bending from hanging your projector off the front bar of the enclosure? I'd like to not have to mount my projector from the ceiling and love the way you did it, but wondering if the heaviness of the projector would wear down that bar.

@GolfSimulatorVideos 2 жыл бұрын

Yes some sag for sure. It's definitely a more temporary type of set up or mobile use. I would for sure recommend doing a ceiling mount for a more permanent and better longevity set up

@jackiewu7159 3 жыл бұрын

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 3 жыл бұрын

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! :)

I will see what I can do. I switched to a desktop in the GSV studio so not as easy to just grab the laptop now. But, you should see the same image from iPad or PC as far as brightness goes.

So it is "level" side to side, but it angles upwards (if hitting towards interior of house, and downwards if hitting towards the garage doors) so it wouldn't be level that direction but would be "flat".

Hey Jay. Two questions. First of all, what is your distances here with mevo plus, unit to ball and ball to screen. Also, your mevo is against the garage door, they recommend a foot from a wall, is that not necessary?

Great video. A question about the mevo+ and the hitting mat. Is it centered on the mat when you are hitting or did you move out to align with the ball? I'm looking at a similar setup and am struggling with the lefty and righty configuration. Can the mevo capture both righty and lefty from a centre position?

@GolfSimulatorVideos 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Jeff, I have it centered for this. I do place the ball a little off center, which is fine to do. Thanks for watching 🍻

Jay, I’m assuming the optimum location for a ceiling mounted projector would be over the top of the ball, correct? This would pretty much guarantee there will be no flop shots that could hit the projector. In the typical short indoor set up for the mevo plus that would mean a throw distance of 8 feet which is why A short throw projector would be ideal. But, in my garage, I need to have the mevo+ set up at 19 feet from screen. (this is because of the three car garage set up. I will need to move two cars out onto the driveway. The third space is open. In order to prevent having to set up and calibrate the mevo plus each time we use it (thereby allowing both cars to be parked in the garage) I will need to have it in the open third garage bay. But, this is about 19 feet from the screen. ) Since the ball needs to be 8 feet from the mevo plus that means it will be 11 feet from the screen. My question then is- Will a short throw projector still work with 11 feet of throw distance or do I need a regular projector? Thx in advance

@GolfSimulatorVideos 3 жыл бұрын

Yes but many are just in front or behind depending on throw and screen size etc. Plug in your numbers with a throw ratio of your projector at the pro calculator on projectorcentral.com. That will tell you exactly where it needs to be for your screen size etc.

It would be for me. If I teed up too high on a drive I could definitely have a miss hit that could make it a victim. I've had a driving net set up in my garage for years now and have many drywall, dents in random areas. I just recently set up a SkyTrak simulator. I have my short throw projector in a box that I made and covered with turf that was far cheaper than the metal one that was for sale. I'm in the process of setting up a spotlight for the ball cuz some people say that helps for more accuratings readings for the sky track. So far, I haven't had it adjusted accurately and the miss hits were far more extreme than they should have been. I've also had good hits that have read bad. I have a 15 ft wide impact panel with blackout curtains behind it and no side protection. I'm close enough to the screen, to where I can use a 60° and not hit the ceiling. The trick I'm having with the projector on the floor is getting proper center alignment for optical play in conjunction with my surroundings. It's set up slightly out of skew.

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!
