One of the best home simulator designs, setups, and video tours on KZitem - your knowledge and experience are fantastic - thanks for sharing! Very strongly considering your approach and trying like hell to figure out how to make it work in a used garage that is 11' wide x 20' long x 8' high. Thanks very much!

Love your setup! Quick question - why didn't you just install the putting green mat/surface on your hardwood floor instead of adding the gym mat? I am planning to do a similar build in a garage but was going to install the putting green on the ground similar to a carpet. I am wondering what advantages there are by adding the foam gym mat puzzle under the putting surface.

Great video, thank you! Looking for "the better" projector. I don't need 4k since my screen space is limited to 9x12 (4:3). I was looking at the Optima GT1080hdrx but it doesn't have horizontal keystone. I think I'd prefer that option so I can mount the projector off center but it comes with a higher price tag. Do you have any suggestions? -Toni

Great couple of videos you did going over your setup. Is there enough width for both right and left handed players to hit? Also, you have quite a bit of space behind your hitting area and the floor. Would it work to make your turf area shortened? So instead of being 14ft long, maybe 12ft. I'm thinking for those of us with less room, we could just take the Mevo+ part apart when not in use.

I could definitely shorten it a couple feet more and move my hitting location further forward. I also detach my mevo pad when I am not using it.
