Thanks for the reminder!

I enjoyed your video. I'm currently renovating my garage turning it into a Sim room and cleaning it out has taken me 3 weeks! haha. Almost done.

EXACTLY - ditto what slowed me down for1-2 months! Fortunately the journey was well worth "the cost of poker" - well, as long as you've got a fat wallet, checking account or low credit card balance LOL!

Which screen is this

Anyone much over 6 feet with an upright swing with the driver is pushing it with 9 foot ceilings--10 feet will let you swing with reckless abandon

You nailed it, especially with an extra-length driver!

Can you swing with a driver with this setup? My simulator is 15 ft wide 8 ft high 5ft depth

I had a 8'4" distance from my floor to the bottom of the ceiling floor joists and my body height is 6'1" which does not comfortably give me enough room to swing a modern driver length with a swing on a normal swing plane. Of course if I was to make changes, I could probably get by if I was to "choke up" on the grip a few inches or swing on a flatter swing plane - but of course that not ideal. Ultimately as I'll illustrate when I upload a final video, I ended up having a contractor properly remove a 2" x 12" x 20' long floor joists and add cross-joist supports. But if I understand your room length as being only 5 feet in depth it would not be enough room for a launch monitor to properly detect ball speed, nor would the screen be far enough away to be safe. In fact since you need at least 1 foot spacing between the screen and wall, you'd have less than 4 feet depth which wouldn't even be deep enough to make a golf swing or even for a projector to focus correctly. Sorry but I can't imagine a golf simulator working shorter than at least 12 feet deep. Good luck.

@@nathanstrand4132 Okay, while I don't understand the concept of simulator "depth" I get that your 19x20 foot room specs are great and you should be able to make the 9 foot ceiling work (even if you have to choke up a few inches on your driver), assuming the mat you are standing on isn't too deep/tall. Good luck.

@@CaliforniaTravelVideos depth means the black tarp of the simulator and the metal goes back 5 ft. My hitting from the ball is 9 ft from ball to screen and 8 feet from launch monitor to ball total 17 feet.

@@nathanstrand4132 Aha, eventually I realized what you meant when you said you have "5ft in depth for the simulator." I think you were implying the 5 ft pertained to the ENCLOSURE and that the black screen has a depth of 5 ft .

Do you have enough height to swing?

Indeed and I must upload my "almost completed" golf sim room! I had a contractor build a 4x9 foot head-out, removing 9 feet of two 2x12 joists (replaced in part by additional secondary 2x2 inch "flats"), and basically replacing the two 2x12s with sistered 2x12s on adjacent joints. Going crosswise at the end of the removed 2x12s are sistered (double) cross 2x12 joists supported by hangers, along with one 2x8 inch flat cross beams near each end (since I only need 6 feet above me for my swing area). In my upcoming video I'll show the details...
