Hey! Thanks for reaching out! While extending your enclosure depth from 5 feet to 8 feet would require the purchase of a new enclosure side and top fabric (and likely depth pipes as well), our customer service lead Taylor would like to check on your order and see what other potential options there are for us to help. You can reach Taylor via email or phone here: www.carlofet.com/contact. Looking forward to helping you!

Hello! Yes, the LH820ST has been discontinued. If you contact our customer service team, we will help you find the best projector that we offer for your setup!

Great to hear!

Hey there! We are not measuring roll out as conditions vary from real life vs. how the launch monitor calculates it. The only data we can really compare between real life and launch monitor is carry distance!

You a real one, Mr. boredymcboredface! ☺

That is the 4x9' Carl's Place HotShot Hitting Mat placed into the flooring, which includes the puzzle piece gym mats and turf!

Great question! We honestly haven't tried it since we haven't seen a golf sim software that works on anything but Windows!

@@carlsplace I am considering purchasing an 8 x 8 enclosure. I have a Skytrak already. Just need the projector and other items. I know the Skytrak software works on my Mac. I just need the right short throw projector with a 1:1 ratio capability. I've put together a package on your website under my account. Just waiting to pull the trigger

@@JmackJah Sorry, you're right. Some apps, like SkyTrak, would work on a Mac. However, I don't think it's possible to create custom resolutions on a Mac without the help of a third-party app. Mac allows you to change resolutions to a couple other options, but not fully customize it. That said, the BenQ LH600ST has 1:1 aspect ratio built in. Check out this part of an article from BenQ on how it works! www.benq.com/en-us/business/golf-simulator-projector/resources/the-easiest-way-to-create-a-1-1-golf-simulator-studio-that-fits.html#:~:text=BenQ%E2%80%99s%20Screen%20Fill%20Enables%20a%20Perfect%201%3A1%20image%20%E2%80%93%20Every%20Time

@@carlsplace I think once the projector is connected via HDMI, a driver for it will appear. And the projector driver should allow me to dial in the 1:1 aspect ratio I'd need for an 8x8 screen. Correct?

@@JmackJah Great question. We don't use Macs in our showroom, so I can't test it for you. But what I found in a quick Google search, it didn't seem possible. Could be wrong though as we have not tried it!

Hey Mark! It’s possible that the calibration on any monitor may need to be updated from time to time if any changes are made to the mounted/calibrated position. For example if the iO is mounted level on a frame but over time become out of level you may need to adjust/re-level the mount and update the calibration. In our experience we’ve found that our Carl’s Place Frame mounts do a good job at securely mount monitors when properly installed and have not needed consistent recalibration!

Hey there! Windows 11 with Intel Core i7-9700K CPU. 16GB RAM. Nvidia 2080 graphics card. Hope that helps!

Hey! Thanks for the kind words! If I remember correctly, yes, the driver numbers did include the shots that we felt were not set up perfectly. I believe it had to do with making sure the unit was not only level in general, but with the hitting mat as well. Hard to do when you're outside on a not-perfectly-even tee box too! As for the laser, it was maybe a bit hard to see because it was such a bright, sunny day. Hope that helps!

You didn't watch past 3 minutes in the video. There was an adjustment made for proper ball placemeent. Once that was done, the readings were very close, nevermind the fact that Mike isn't exactly a scientific test since he was running around like crazy trying to mark carry distance from funny angles while running. Also, I'm assuming the wind that was pointed out in the video was not accounted for in the configuration. At no point was it mentioned if shitty scuffed range balls were being used which would impact the unit's ability to read the ball's launch parameters. As the review accurately points out, it did a good job.

I believe this is our 10'h x 15.5'w x 8'd Pro Enclosure!

We haven't done any direct testing yet, but we plan to! And hope to set it up at a driving range to test it vs real life numbers! Stay tuned!

According to its specs, it weighs 26 pounds!

That's where the regular EYE MINI comes in! You get that wireless connection capability, but at a higher price point. We think it's pretty neat that Uneekor is offering a couple of options for its ground-mounted unit!

Hey Jeff - can you clarify your question here? Are you asking how to physically set up and mount the second projector? Or something with the way the projector is set up on the computer/OBS?

Those are great questions! We did not test for that as that's not what it was created for, but we imagine it might need to be recalibrated and would be a hassle with cable management. There are other radar options that side behind the golfer in the same price range, but just need to make sure you have enough depth in your room!

@@carlsplace While it may not be what it was created for, at it's very attractive price point for a camera unit and my limited space, this would be an ideal solution. I'm a lefty and would be the primary user but on the odd occasion I would need to accommodate a righty, it would be interesting to know if it is feasible. Cable management aside, which is likely the easiest to overcome, I understand GSPro allows you to set it up in a way such that a player could play 1-2 holes before switching, which would limit the amount of moving the unit around. I haven't seen any videos showing how this would work for the EML, EM or GC3, etc. in terms of logistically moving it, recalibrating (if needed but hopefully not as long as it is place in a precalibrated spot.)

@@erikmarko1660 Makes sense. We'll talk about it and see if we can get some content on it!

Is the Lite showing consistent data though or are you getting errant misreads? Have you tested it with chipping/putting?

I am having same issues. My carry is almost 2 clubs shorter on my wedges through 6 iron. my hybrids and woods are weird as well. They all bunch within 25 yards of each other without a huge distinction. FWIW, I am not a great golfer (14 handicap) but I know what my carry/play yardage is on well-struck balls. I am not getting anywhere near that with my mini lite. I put in proper elevation on it and everything. I am in MI so elevation is not changing enough to account for the discrepancy either. Should also add I had a buddy come over who is an 9 handicap and just got his bag mapped by his coach at a trackman launch facility. He noticed the same under-read on the ball speeds.

We will have to put some EYE MINI Lite testing on our list!

@@carlsplace please do. Like it up with a Quad so we can see camera-based versus camera-based. I'm sending mine back unfortunately; can't rely on it.

😂😂😂

It's ugly, isn't it?! But if you read some other comments and watch some other videos, you'll realize that we were purposely taking bad swings to actually hit the mat to get a feel for how forgiving they were on the joints, but also how they punished fat shots. We know we aren't professional golfers and that's not the point. Both of us typically pick the ball clean on a good swing, so we had to change things up to truly test out the mat.

@@carlsplacethat firsr mat i originally bought it and its worthless, great review, after a few hits it tore from divots and it does move alot.

Hey! According to Garmin's website (www.garmin.com/en-US/p/590068), this is what's included with the monthly subscription: -Plan your best approach shot, and sink your putt with Green Contour data -Home Tee Hero virtual rounds on 42,000+ courses (Approach R10 device only) -Store video clips of your shots in the cloud (Approach R10 device only)

We agree!

Hey! We have not tested it, so we do not recommend it!

Hey! This is the 4x5' mat!

@@carlsplace perfect! just the one I was looking to get too

Hey Tony! If this is one of our screens, we'd recommend mounting it with tension and using a hair dryer on a low heat setting on the back side of the screen to remove creases. Make sure to not leave the hair dryer in any one spot for too long or you will risk damaging the screen material. With any more questions, reach out to our customer service team here: www.carlofet.com/contact

Depends on what you mean by that. Multiple running at the same time, you would need a beefy computer, and it likely isn't even possible with a beefy computer. If you mean running at different times, yes it is possible. We have several computers in our showroom that have multiple softwares on them for different launch monitors. Hope that helps!

@@carlsplace yes, thank you.

Hey Eddie! The cable goes through a sleeve on the bottom of the screen, which keeps it tight to the floor. This is to provide that seamless turf to screen visual while keeping worm-burners from sneaking under! The cable is sized so that it is taut enough that the bottom of the screen stays flush with the floor. Hope that makes sense.

@@carlsplace Definitely does. Thanks for the reply!

I believe these were 5' deep enclosures, so looks like they are hitting around 9-10' away from the screens. Keep in mind that we always recommend hitting from 10' away from the screen!

Great question. That might be pushing it a little bit. However, couple of notes: -The LW500ST has been discontinued, just an FYI -Often overlooked, the best spot to mount a projector overhead is right over the tee off spot. Might sound dangerous, but when you think about it, the golf swing doesn't go straight up, so it's really not in any danger there!

Hello John! While we cannot speak to how Smash Factor Indoor Golf made their side wall nets, we can say that we offer those as an add-on safety piece for our enclosures. And our enclosures do not come with pipe insulation, but we do offer add-on foam inserts to protect the frame around the impact screen. Contact our customer service with any other questions you have! www.carlofet.com/contact.

Yup, it's a pretty bright red laser. I remember it being dimmer, but don't remember it being a problem otherwise!

Hey Kyle! Thanks for the comment! While we admit that we aren't professional golfers, we weren't using our normal swings in this video. Both of us are clean pickers, so we don't really get the full affect of chunking or taking a nice divot. So we purposely were trying to hit down into the mat, before or after the ball, so we could actually review the mats.

@@carlsplace ya ok whatever you say guy

Hey! Impressed you made it all the way through! It was a long one. And you have a great point about durability. Hard to test for this video, but we can honestly say that we use all of these hitting mats decently often in our showroom and they've all held up well! Some show wear in the hitting area or standing area, but not enough to be concerned about. As for the favorite, it seems as though we leaned toward the higher priced ones, which makes sense. But that doesn't mean the lower priced ones aren't good values!

@@carlsplace It was a very good and thorough video. Most "reviewers" dont spend anywhere near the time that you guys did. I follow several "golf" channels here and as Im looking to buy a hitting mat, I dont wanna waste my money on something cheap, but cant spend $1300+ on a mat either. Plus, I live in Canada, so the exchange rate KILLSSSS me (Nearly 40% $CA to $US dollars.) I think most people want the best quality at the best price so I think, if I were to buy one, it might be the EZ Tee @ $450. I liked your criteria and for me "Realistic" and "Comfort" are more important that "Practicality" but the EZ Tee scored well across the board according to your review. Long story short...Great job boys!! I appreciate your candor....especially when you didnt rate your own Mat, but posted a review from a different guy. Nice to see integrity is still a "thing" on-line in 2024!! I will become your newest Subscriber. Cheers!!!

@@BobzUrUncle-te6dj Those kind words mean the world to us. Thanks a ton!

@@carlsplace Well deserved guys!

Hi cmwilfred, We aren't able to guarantee that the Trackman iO will work well with SimBox enclosures since we don't sell SimBox. Our Carl's Place enclosures will work with the Trackman iO and our customer service team can work through your simulator build with you to ensure a Trackman iO setup with a Carl's Place enclosure would work in your space.

Hello! What do you mean by "set up"? They should plug into your computer and work! I'm sure your question is more specific, though, so let us know! Or reach out to our customer service team at www.carlofet.com/contact
