What are the differences between modular golf simulators?

We post the latest comparison of modular golf simulators (including prices, features, pros and cons) on our website at:

I'm looking for a home golf simulator - which system is right for me?

I get this question a lot. There are so many manufactures out there and there are some really great values, but it truly depends on what your needs are. To help narrow down your hunt here are some questions you need to be able to answer:

1. What is the size of your room?
2. How many courses do you want?
3. Do you want club, ball or both measurements?
4. Is integrated Video Capture (video of you swinging the club shown within the simulation program) important to you?
5. How important is it for you to be able to hit off of any surface?
6. Will it be in a permanent location or will you need to move it each time?

7. How beneficial would it be for you to use the system outdoors for analysis?
8. Will you have both left and right handed users playing simultaneously?
9. Do you need to hit foam or no balls at any point?
10. Do you currently have any components (computer, projector, mats, etc.)?
11. What is your budget for the entire simulator system?

12. What are your main goals in purchasing this system (what do you want to get out of it)?

If you would like us to help narrow down your search without hassle or obligation, simply send your answers to info@par2pro.com and we can let you know your options.

Happy Golfing!

Is there a reason not to just fold the impact screen over the top, sew it down and hang it over a cable or rod?

You can try mounting the screen through pockets using aircraft cable, but we find that it is hard to get the screen taught and smooth. We do not suggest wrapping around pipes as that can be very dangerous if a ball hits the pipe and rebounds back at you. The other problem with these methods is that the screen gets pulled very tight without the ability to stretch which means a high bounce-back and lower life span.
