How far back should you hit from the screen in a golf simulator enclosure?

Name: ProTee VX
Brand: ProTee United
Price: 6500 USD
Availability: InStock

About 9 to 11 feet back works well, roughly the length of a standard hitting strip. This gives plenty of clearance even when the impact screen frame or mounting supports sit a few feet in front of the hitting area, as with a Protee launch monitor mounted 3 feet ahead of the tee. Enclosure depth and hitting mat length are the main limiting factors.

Plain range balls read spin less reliably at high ball speeds; premium balls such as TP5 or Pro V1 are recommended for accurate spin and spin axis.
