I just completed the simulator following the process by Builds by Maz and I purchased the parts using his suggestions. Just an FYI for those looking to build this and you're looking at his cost of $758.00. The fee being advertised does not include sales tax, possible shipping fees or miscellaneous items. For example, to cut the pipe you may need to purchase a pipe cutter (which I recommend in lieu of the recipricating saw). I also needed 2 cans of primer and 3 cans of paint, but this may be do to my good painting skills. I also needed to purchase contractor paper for the painting process. With that said, his directions were easy to follow and the simulator was easy to build (I built mine by myself due to a lack of friends). My total cost which includes sales tax and shipping was $886.74. I am very pleased with the outcome and looking forward to years of use. Thank you to Builds by Maz!!!

This is a fantastic DIY project build for folks who have the time and patience to build. I’d like to offer some added tips… 1. Consider buying some wire shelving that has the hanger extension so you can lay a piece down in front of the screen under your turf so it will create a ramp. This will eliminate balls hitting the bottom bar and help balls roll back to you as well. It will also help with the lifespan of your screen because one of the highest stress points is at the bottom where you’ve attached the screen around the bar with grommets. Over time that is where you will see rips develop. 2. I would recommend either folding over the edges or adding some other material as a second layer around the perimeter before you add your grommets. Again, I believe over time these grommets will work loose and pop out of the material or cause ripping. I’m in no way being critical. I think this is a great video, but I know from lots of experience exactly how continuous impact on a screen can create stress on the connections and eventual failure of screens. 3. In general people will tend to try to overtighten their screen to get that perfect flat look. For extended screen life, I strongly recommend you let the screen relax more and live with a few small sags. It will add years to the life of your screen, and when the projector is on, will hardly be noticeable.

The Mevo Plus isn't as easy as turning it on. Connections issues are my biggest issue with this unit! First tiem setting it up was a nightmare. Nothing on KZbin shows it and there are zero instructions included with the sim. I do find that it is very accurate and rarely misses picking up a shot. I highly recommend buying the Titleist RCT balls vs putting the metal stickers on balls.

How is the impact screen durability? I ask because i have the carls place screen and put a hole in the bottom of it. Also the ball leaves burn marks on the screen. Wondering if im the only one

So far it's been great, but it's only been about 3 months. There are some very light ball marks on my screen as well, but you can't see them at all once the projector is on.

What distance is the ball to screen? Is 8 feet enough in your opinion?
@buildsbymaz
@buildsbymaz 27 күн бұрын
8 feet is the recommended minimum. If you can get more like 10, that would be even better.

How does the foam handle a shank? Have you had any balls find their way through the corners?
@buildsbymaz
@buildsbymaz Ай бұрын
The foam absorbs the impact well. I've had a couple of balls get caught behind the top cushion, but I just stick a club up there and they fall out. Nothing has gone all the way through the corners.

@buildsbymaz question, when you said to cut your enclosure frame 3 inches bigger than your impact screen, does that mean the dimensions of your enclosure are 12.5feet wide and 9.5feet tall ?
@buildsbymaz
@buildsbymaz Ай бұрын
Hey man sorry, I told you wrong in my last comment. The width only needs to be 3 inches wider total than the screen. So for your 10 ft wide screen, make it 10 ft 3 inches wide (measured from the insides of the EMT pipes). The height just needs to be 1.5 inches taller since the bottom of the screen will go all the way to the floor.

I do, as long as you get at least 1 inch thick EMT. If you are worried about sagging, you could also run some 3/4 or 1/2 inch EMT through the middle of the 1 inch pipe to help bridge the connection, if that makes sense.
