I ordered and returned a $3,500 enclosure about a month ago. This is easily just as good. I highly recommend doing this verses a buying a kit.

[@jar2112]

I tried this and ripped a driver right thru it... What kinda sheet material is it? Or is your ball speed slower than 140? That's the speed mine went thru at, not even that crazy..lol

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

I went through a lot of sheets and variations. I probably spent more money getting to this point than I would have getting a real screen. This is a walmart mainstays king size sheet. And must hang down with a net behind ot that takes most of the brunt force. Watch the original video I made that one explains why it works. I think it title is My impact screen is a bed sheet

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

This is the only sheet that holds up. Every other sheet I have tried, I broke through right away. www.walmart.com/ip/3501096480

What a great recovery on that first hole!

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

To bad I didn't cut the rest of the holes out of the video ha.

[@gunnathurdy8269]

My bed sheets take a pounding as well.

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

Lol

[@JesseSchoch]

really glad you shared several of your junk piles. I have some junk as well but I don't show it in my videos enough. In all seriousness thanks for sharing your build.

[@KipIddy]

Great video! I’m also wondering about this mini computer you’re running… do you have a link to it by chance? Great setup and ideas!

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

The mini computer I am using even went down in price like $690 now. It's the UM790 pro from minisforum. The 64GB ram version. store.minisforum.com/products/minisforum-um790-pro

[@Dylan-Rapsodo]

lol wow nice chip in. I wasn't expecting that.

[@michaelnugent707]

hey how much room do you need behind the bedsheet setup? very interested in doing a similar thing myself. love the cost effectiveness, and honestly, eco-friendliness of never needing to change the screen with this.

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

Really depends on the net you have behind and how tight. I have about 24 inches or so behind it. I'm sure with a tight net, you could get away with 18- 20

[@tylertheriot8922]

Your mini computer runs gspro just fine? That’s crazy. I thought about getting one and trying it but I was worried about if it would crazh

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

I was extremely surprised at how well it ran. This is also the best mini PC I could find with the highest specs. Um790 pro with 64GB ram

[@Greg-zx4zg]

Do you believe the sheet would stop the ball just as effectively if there wasn't a net behind it?

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

I do not believe so. Although I don't think the ball will go through the sheet, I believe the ball would move the sheet in a way it would make it past the sheet at times, and could still have some speed to it.

[@dannysiriphanthong1405]

Where did you get the black screen?

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

It's just a black bed sheet.

[@golf5555555]

what software are you using?

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

I use GSPRO. Tried almost every other sim software, and nothing holds a candle to GSPRO.

[@dawnpatrolgolf]

I do something similar with a white photographers backdrop over an old impact screen.

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

It's amazing how well it works and how good it looks. A few others have told me about the photo backdrop as well. Maybe I'll try it one day

[@dawnpatrolgolf]

@@igolfandimakestuff2629 Works well and if you buy a large enough one and keep it clean, you can just move it around as it may ummm errrr tear or become unusable in one portion of the photo backdrop.

[@justinfinchum5439]

What are you using for the aim shift left/right? I see you pushing something with the end of you club, but I can't imagine it's an arrow key on a keyboard.

[@justinfinchum5439]

Amazing! Thank you!

[@MikeSoutham]

any specific thickness sheet that you used?

[@igolfandimakestuff2629]

Just the Walmart brand sheets I found to hold up
