In my research, I talked to both Carl's Place and Par2Pro for my own enclosure. Long story short, in my personal experience, the advisor staff (phone) at P2P started strong but finished poorly. The advisor staff (phone or chat) at Carl's Place started strong and finished strong. Their patience and follow-up was top-notch. Having never tackled such a project, and admittedly, not being very handy, I did a ton of planning and prep work in my efforts not to screw it up. Everyone I worked with at Carl's was patient and walked me through many of the details. I bought my DIY enclosure and screen from CP and set it all up this past weekend. Still need to get the tech up and running but Carl's Place was outstanding to work with.
Really great video. My build is similar, but I had to build it with the capability of folding up into the ceiling of the garage. I easily spent 100 hours working on it and perfecting little tiny things and I can tell that you definitely did the same here. No one except you will notice the last 20% of fine tuning you did, but in the end it makes for a very clean and professional experience. Your video is one of the best breakdowns I've seen, awesome job!
Really impressed with your setup mate! So envious that I don’t have the space or the knowledge about how to build a sweet set up like yours! Enjoy your time using it. 👌🏽
Just stumbled across your build....really nice. I am planning on building a golf simulator in my RV garage. This helps out a lot. My ceiling is too high for a ceiling mount projector so will need a floor mount option. Cheers!
hell yeah really like the flooring you have going. that was a steal for that I went cheaper and wish i didn't. really dig the setup. I like that insert a lot. Another way I would have went if I did it again.
Nice job and video. I also have a Carl’s enclosure and premium impact screen. They’re amazing! I just bought the form inserts as I had a few bad kick backs.
@@PixelGolf 100% agree, bought and installed the foam inserts. Fixed my indoor swing issue as I was holding back out of fear of errand bounce back shots. Really impressed at the difference compared with pool noddles
Very helpful video. I am looking to build an addition on my house, well really just frame in my deck which sits on a raised foundation already and it's about 14x15, which looks like more than enough space based on your design. Also planning to pick up the new GC3 so the distance behind the hitting area should not be an issue. Was wondering about the flooring and I think your solution is perfect and affordable. Not sure on the ceiling height, but planning for 9 feet which I think should work. I'll check out Carls too. All in all, this is about the best video of a DIY build that matches up with my space and plan. Just saw you picked up the new GC3....hope you are planning to do a video on it. That is the icing on the cake bro.
I am basically copying what you have done here. Nicely done, by the way. I apologize if you have already answered this question. I need to buy a laptop. I will only be using this golf setup for myself, my children and a few friends. My question is, what laptop would you recommend I get to use with the Mevo+? You mention in the video that the one you use is more than enough to handle what you are doing. I don’t want to buy more than I need. I’ll be using the golf monitor to help my golf swing .
The short throw is ordered. TY. Another question is I will be able to run the mevo through my mac to the projector through the usb? Thank you for always taking the time to answer my questions.
Bought one about 10 months ago based on your great videos. Question. My screen feels a little too loose at the ball impact area.(wrinkles) I do have the same foam pad behind the screen. Should I buy tighter bungees? Other recommendations? Thanks
I use all bungees around the perimeter and mine is still nice and flat. You can try tightening the bungees a little more if bounce back isn’t an issue. Are you using the premium screen?
Great Set-up, also like your video on controlling bounce back. Curious about the turf you used, it says it requires an infill. Did you apply an in-fill to your turf and if not have you noticed any issues, does the turf remain in place under its own weight or is it affixed in some way?
Great video, I also have a radar (although TrackMan 4) and I like to hit at least 12' to screen. Have you noticed any difference from 9' from ball to screen to 12' from ball to screen? I'm trying to get a new enclosure and I was wondering if I can at least just go with 8'~9' to screen. Thanks in advance!
Hello, I hit 9’ from my screen with my current setup, but I am running a GC3 which is camera based so it doesn’t require a minimum distance away. I believe the trackman 4 needs at least 8’ from screen. I like hitting from 9’ away, but keep in mind I have a 100”h x125”w enclosure that is only 33” deep. I would say depending on your screen size you may find 9’ too close if yours is a lot larger. If you can hit from 12’ I would if you’re sticking with the radar unit as their accuracy is better the more flight time, but again based on your setup 12’ may put you back too far for wedges to stay on the enclosure.
@@PixelGolf Thanks for the quick response. Hitting shorter than 12' definitely doesn't give a lot of data so I wanted to be in that 12'~13' sweet spot distance to the screen. I have a width of 14' so slightly more space than you in terms of the width and I am worried about my side shanks as I'll have some novices hitting as well. So with yours being only 33" deep, have you not encountered hitting the side wall for your mishits (unless you're not a novice)? Thanks!
I know you made a follow up video so maybe you answered this there - I noticed the hitting strip is listed as 1.75" thick online, and the foam you used is 1" thick. The putting mat you linked says the pile is 5/8" thick, so do you feel like the strip sits 1/8" low or do you not notice?
Hi great video, on explaining your set up and process , you Fido mention your total cost , or maybe I missed you saying it . Thanks for the videos and tips
It’s actually really damn close in numbers! I made a bunch of videos comparing and all the footage got destroyed… I’m going to redo it with the new Bushnell/Foresight “GC3” when I get it next month.
how has the putting turf held up where your feet are? have you worn through it? do you wear spikes or just running shoes on it? thanks! awesome set up!
Hey, great great rundown! Can I ask a couple of things about the room size, please? How high is the ceiling at the location you swing from, please? Also, with your turf, does your swing arc behind and around you swing our beyond the boundaries of the turf? In other words, if the *room* was as wide as the mat, would you have plenty of room? Thanks so much, dropped you a sub, too!
Do you have a less pricey gaming laptop or pc that you could recommend? I recently found out that the mevo plus e6 complimentary courses are not compatible with my MacBook. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Great video, will be a tremendous help for me. Quick question, I was told that a PC version of the Mevo plus software does not exist yet only iphone or ipad, how did you set yours up of a PC? Thanks!
Are you able to hit wedge shots from that far with only 3 feet of overhead cage projection? Building my setup now and I'm worried about wedge shots hitting the ceiling when I'm hitting 8-10 ft from the screen
I have the same issues with the short wedges. What i've learned is that wedges shouldn't be hit with full swings anyway. Mostly something less for more control.
This was my first thought. Not only can you not do flop shots, but you can't invite novices to play on this setup unless you are cool with holes in the wall
I have the almost exact setup with the same projector. I need some tips on how to get the image to fit my screen like yours. Any help would be great! Keep up the great videos!
With the memory foam pad behind the screen are you able to move the enclosure closer to a wall? I would really like to get close as possible for my plans.
How far from your screen is your projector? And how far in front of the hitting area is the projector? I have a short throw and I'm thinking about 10 feet from screen to hitting area and 8 feet from screen to projector.
When ordering the putting mat what particular mat did you choose so I can order the same thing? Thanks and wonderful video motivational for sure to start my simulator in my garage since I can only swing 7iron and below good enough for the winter to swing and now lose my feel. I swing outdoors during the spring summer and early fall months
Great video. I noticed you have your projector connected to Sonos. I just purchased the same one and was wondering what connection you are using for the Sonos since it doesn’t support HDMI arc?
I have a set up very similar to yours with the puzzle gym Matt etc. I have loosened (2) bungees per side and the ball still seems to come back too quick. By that I mean that the ball will bounce and then roll back to my feet quickly when I’m hitting from 9.5 feet from screen. That’s with a 9 iron. I’m 69 and hit a 9 about 120 yds. Your thoughts?
Starting my build now.. wondering how far back your projector is mounted? Want to make sure I have and outlet installed up there and run HDMI cable there as well. Thanks
Looking at building a set up right now. I'm debating about getting the TrueStrike matting. Do you like the insert, and have you thought about changing it at all? I'd like to do something similar with the matting and carpet, but use a TrueStrike insert.
I’ve actually since switched to a homemade divot action, cost about $40. Definitely more forgiving on the wrists… Can’t take a real tee though which isn’t as fun. Looking into others right now. I also have Quattro mat to try.
Great and helpful video as I build my SIM. Would you be able to put the Pipe insulation on the front of the frame inside the black material that the pipes are in? I think it might look better in the room I am building but couldn’t tell if it would fit inside.
Great video and good looking set up, how high are you ceilings they look like 8’-6”? If so do you have issues swing driver? Also how far away from the screen is the projector and in relation to the golfer is it directly over you while your hitting? Thanks for your insights.
Hey I really like the set up you have... I have a questions about the Carls Place set up part. I am looking to order one but I am curious if you have to put padding behind where the ball will impact or if you can just have it pushed right up to the wall and the projection screen just takes all the impact and you dont have to worry about ball marks on the wall? Can you help out or elaborate if you have to put anything behind the screen and against the wall. Thank you!
I believe so. Check my video for the carls diy tool and click on the link in the description. There you can enter your ceiling height and see what options you have.
I did one in my basement with pretty much the same ceiling height. Unfortunately it was not high enough even with wedges. You need at least 9ft to be comfortable in my opinion.
Carls provides all the connectors, elbows, instructions and everything you need to build through them. They have an option of supplying the emt as well, but it was more cost effective factoring in shipping to get them locally. It’s really simple. They send you a breakdown of your build with all of the pipe lengths before you get the kit so you can grab the emt while the kit is shipping and get it all put up in an hour.
Awesome setup! Is there a way to make sure the putting surface is completely flat with no curve/slope? What to do if there is a slight slope in the floor?? Thanks
I just purchased the same screen from Carls. Do you think using the 1 inch pipe insulation would work on all the pipes, instead of the other stuff from Carls? Also, the screen just mirroring your PC. Not setup as a second screen?
Hey man. This is a beautiful build. I just ordered my birdie cups today- did you say you used the birdie ball hole cutter? Did that cut right through the turf and mat?
Hello, yes. I used the birdieball cutting tool and it cut through the turf and mat with some effort. It is the older metal one though, I think they’re plastic now.
Hi J.T., sorry for the delay. We are just getting back up and running! Follow any carls link in the description and see the accessories section. I’ll work on getting the correct link placed.
It seems that all of the Carl’s enclosures online are 5 ft deep, but yours looks maybe 3ft? Do you know if they changed the depths or is your less depth an option? Thanks!
Great video, I've watched it a couple of times now. I do have one question not related to the setup but a message I saw on the screen while you were going over Carl's enclosure and screen. The message was "Flight Scope Device not Found", it was blinking on and off. I just purchased and started using a mevo+ and I am getting the same message when connected to the E6 app. It looks like the connection from the the mevo FS 2.0 PC software to the E6 package keeps dropping and reconnecting. Do you still get this message or were you able to find out what the cause and solution to fix this message was?
I appreciate your review. I made a purchase for a setup from Carls and am waiting to receive it. My question is how do I set up the Mevo+ with the computer? Does the Mevo+ come with software to install?
The Mevo+ is really just iPhone only apps free with the Mevo purchase. If you want PC I would suggest, E6 connect, TGC2019 or wait for GS Pro to come to Mevo, which is soon I here. You can request a free Demo if E6 connect for your Mevo+ to demo E6. It has 1 course, a range and a few practice areas that will keep you entertained while you decide!
Having trouble finding outdoor putting turf that lays naturally flat as yours does. Can you tell if yours has a specific manufacturer? Others I am seeing are rolled up and will require being glued or nailed down. Nice video.
Great video, thanks man! Just got my Mevo+ and looking at the Carl's stuff myself. Curious as to what your distance is with the Mevo, both Mevo to ball and ball to screen? Apologies if you mentioned it... which screen did you get, the premium?

Hi great video, on explaining your set up and process , you Fido mention your total cost , or maybe I missed you saying it . Thanks for the videos and tips
$5800 with Mevo+
I’d be curious to hear your comparison of the mevo+ vs the GC2. Id think the GC2 would be the way to go.
Sure for 3-4 times the money
It’s actually really damn close in numbers! I made a bunch of videos comparing and all the footage got destroyed… I’m going to redo it with the new Bushnell/Foresight “GC3” when I get it next month.
Great setup! Just curious how loud that impact screen is when you actually hit a ball to it.
Will do a video using it soon! Not loud at all!
Do you have any safety netting or other style backing immediately behind the polyester screen?? Or is it enough by itself with it's 250 mph rating ??
I can’t get those speeds, but I would do the mattress pad mod.
I wanted to check in to see if you ever got the 24/7 enclosure setup, and how you think that compares to this one.

What courses and how many different ones are included? Great set up and video.
With E6 basic subscription you get 27 standard courses along with a couple rotating courses. More than enough to keep you engaged.
Do you have a less pricey gaming laptop or pc that you could recommend? I recently found out that the mevo plus e6 complimentary courses are not compatible with my MacBook. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Check Best Buy open box deals. Anything with 16gb ram, i7 and Nvidia card in the last few years should work!

Are you able to hit wedge shots from that far with only 3 feet of overhead cage projection? Building my setup now and I'm worried about wedge shots hitting the ceiling when I'm hitting 8-10 ft from the screen
I only hit a 56* full swing and it catches the top of the screen. I’ve scooped a couple and the hit the top of the canopy, but nothing on the ceiling.
Just hit a 60* that catches the top, just above the screen, but I have a thin piece of memory foam up there.
I have the same issues with the short wedges. What i've learned is that wedges shouldn't be hit with full swings anyway. Mostly something less for more control.

For your putting turf, did you put infill?
If not, how does it roll when putting? Setup looks awesome!
No infill and it rolls nicely!

I am looking to order one but I am curious if you have to put padding behind where the ball will impact or if you can just have it pushed right up to the wall and the projection screen just takes all the impact and you dont have to worry about ball marks on the wall? Can you help out or elaborate if you have to put anything behind the screen and against the wall. Thank you!
Would i be able to do a simulator with 7'8 ceilings ?
I believe so. Check my video for the carls diy tool and click on the link in the description. There you can enter your ceiling height and see what options you have.
I did one in my basement with pretty much the same ceiling height.
Unfortunately it was not high enough even with wedges. You need at least 9ft to be comfortable in my opinion.
Can you explain why you had to get the 1" EMT piping, where is that installed? Didn't Carl build-out the SIm frame for you?
Carls provides all the connectors, elbows, instructions and everything you need to build through them. They have an option of supplying the emt as well, but it was more cost effective factoring in shipping to get them locally. It’s really simple. They send you a breakdown of your build with all of the pipe lengths before you get the kit so you can grab the emt while the kit is shipping and get it all put up in an hour.
Also, if my ceiling is 11 foot high and my screen is 9 foot high, do I need a 2 foot extension for the projector mount?
What is your favorite hitting insert currently? I’ve thought about the Carla upgraded one vs the holy grail. Any suggestions?
I’ve had both, they are very similar… Go for Carls as it’s cheaper. Links to it are down below.
Awesome setup! Is there a way to make sure the putting surface is completely flat with no curve/slope? What to do if there is a slight slope in the floor??
Thanks
Our flooring is pretty level, so that is not something I’ve personally had to address.
Are you still using the same hitting insert? If not, can you update us, please?
I switched it out, I’ll do an update.
@@PixelGolf What is the new insert? Thanks.
Good stuff. Thanks. I’m gonna use Carls. How high is your ceiling?
Glad to hear! My ceiling slopes but it's about 9 feet over my hitting area.
I just purchased the same screen from Carls. Do you think using the 1 inch pipe insulation would work on all the pipes, instead of the other stuff from Carls? Also, the screen just mirroring your PC. Not setup as a second screen?
Incredible video, thank you. How far is your projector to the screen and how far are you ball to screen?
Thank you! 8.5’ ball to screen, 8’ Mevo to ball.
Hey man. This is a beautiful build. I just ordered my birdie cups today- did you say you used the birdie ball hole cutter?
Did that cut right through the turf and mat?
Hello, yes. I used the birdieball cutting tool and it cut through the turf and mat with some effort. It is the older metal one though, I think they’re plastic now.
Not seeing the link to the Mevo adjustable stand.
Hi J.T., sorry for the delay. We are just getting back up and running! Follow any carls link in the description and see the accessories section. I’ll work on getting the correct link placed.
It seems that all of the Carl’s enclosures online are 5 ft deep, but yours looks maybe 3ft? Do you know if they changed the depths or is your less depth an option? Thanks!
How tall is your ceiling?
Check the details video on the channel for all dimensions
Great video, I've watched it a couple of times now. I do have one question not related to the setup but a message I saw on the screen while you were going over Carl's enclosure and screen. The message was "Flight Scope Device not Found", it was blinking on and off. I just purchased and started using a mevo+ and I am getting the same message when connected to the E6 app. It looks like the connection from the the mevo FS 2.0 PC software to the E6 package keeps dropping and reconnecting. Do you still get this message or were you able to find out what the cause and solution to fix this message was?
I appreciate your review. I made a purchase for a setup from Carls and am waiting to receive it. My question is how do I set up the Mevo+ with the computer? Does the Mevo+ come with software to install?
The Mevo+ is really just iPhone only apps free with the Mevo purchase. If you want PC I would suggest, E6 connect, TGC2019 or wait for GS Pro to come to Mevo, which is soon I here. You can request a free Demo if E6 connect for your Mevo+ to demo E6. It has 1 course, a range and a few practice areas that will keep you entertained while you decide!
Can the memo unit track foam ball?
Did you need to add sand to the putting turf?
Nope, no sand. While sand would speed up the stimp, I find it to roll at a good speed and true.
Out of all the simulator software that you play what one graphically looks the best to you? Awesome setup btw
So far GSPro, but I have yet to see TGC up close and personal…
OK thank you and I'll have to try it
How does the impact feel with that mat /turf combo. Curious about wrist pain off that mat
I am currently running a DIY divot action that has a lot of give to it on the downswing. No wrist pain here.
@@PixelGolf is the DIY divot setup the one you show in this video? If not, do you have a video of the DIY?
@@harmon411 it is not. I’ll get an update video up!
Having trouble finding outdoor putting turf that lays naturally flat as yours does. Can you tell if yours has a specific manufacturer? Others I am seeing are rolled up and will require being glued or nailed down. Nice video.

@@PixelGolf Found it......thx. Sorry I missed it in my initial review.
Great video, thanks man! Just got my Mevo+ and looking at the Carl's stuff myself. Curious as to what your distance is with the Mevo, both Mevo to ball and ball to screen? Apologies if you mentioned it... which screen did you get, the premium?
8’ Mevo to ball, 9.5’ ball to screen. Premium screen.
Marty: Did the Mevo+ ship right away or was there any wait time? Thanks.
@@dustindavidson849, shipped within just a couple of days, I had it in about a week.
I am looking at building a sim. The optima displays a 16:9 ratio. How are displaying without any spill over on 4:3 screen?
It has the ability to run 4:3 as well. I fit the height and adjust the with in the graphics card.
