After seeing one for the first time many years ago, one of my dreams was to have a golf simulator in my home one day. That being said, a few years back I built a budget friendly golf simulator in my barn/workshop. While it was a lot of fun, the foam balls and cheap sensor limitations were quite unrealistic and ultimately fell short of what I had dreamed of. I finally decided to remove that simulator and give it a massive upgrade with the BenQ LK936ST 4K short throw projector, Custom Carl's Place Enclosure, and Uneekor Eye XO Launch Monitor! This truly is a giant leap from what I had in past and the perfect place to enjoy winter nights with the guys, date nights with my wife, or improve my game in the off season. In this tutorial I'll go over all the details of how it came together.

Thanks for the shout out! Happy to help and as expected looks like you nailed it! Time to join those online leagues! :)

@rogueengineer Год назад

Thanks for your help Jay! Haven’t gotten into the online leagues yet but can see how that would be a blast. Hopefully soon!

Amazing build, great advice before I start my build. Can’t wait to get my planning permission back. ⛳️

Thank you. One of the best reviews and descriptions out there!

@longhorn8459 Год назад

Really excellent set up for a "DIY" solution, I think you nailed it. So many out there want the "cheapest possible" but I think there is a market for this much nicer setup and you crushed it. I had never heard of the Roxor product, thanks for sharing!

@joe704la Год назад

Great setup, awesome video and a lot of great info. I apologize if I missed this in the video but what are the measurements of the space? Looks like maybe 14' wide x 10' high x maybe 10' or 12' where the hitting area is. I am trying to plan out my hitting space and wanted to see how much space I really need.

@bchimenti67 7 месяцев назад

Great video. I’m also going to install the Uneekor eye xo or eye xo 2 and really like how you mounted it on the ceiling. Can you give me any advice on how you did yours? The 2 pole look is sharp!

@MichaelJones-ff9gb Год назад

This is an awesome build! The EYE XO launch monitor is $10k. The good news is 2023 is going to have a ton of companies flood the market with competing products. If I was to invest in this, I would want a launch monitor that did NOT require stickers on my clubs!

@rogueengineer Год назад

Thanks! To be clear though, the Eye XO doesn’t require stickers to play but it does provide more club data with the stickers

@scottyoung3329 Год назад

@patdavis8888 Год назад

I just bought that same projected from SIM golf. Waiting for it to arrive. I’m like a kid on Christmas right now! I will say, I had the country club elite mat as well, but had to switch to Fiberbuilt. I got some nasty golfer’s elbows from the CCE mat. Hopefully you don’t end up in the same spot. We have a very similar setup in the garage, with the curtains on the side in order to move when snow is in the forecast! Awesome set up. Thanks for all the details. I may look into a Uneekor. I’m currently running a SkyTrak, but the additional club info looks amazing. Awesome vid as always, bud!

@rogueengineer Год назад

Thank you! And thanks for the advice on golf mats. I haven't had any joint pain from the CCE mat but have noticed that it really penalizes fat shots. Improvement-wise, it has caused me to hit the ball more pure but can be frustrating for others when playing in a group. The club data from Uneekor is insane and has definitely helped me identify what I need to refine in my swing.

@patrickdavis7238 Год назад

@@rogueengineer I completely agree about the CCE mat. It is not very forgiving for anyone who tends to get a bit chunky. I meant to ask, did you find any particularly helpful video for setting up your projector or did you just use the BenQ website?

@habit681 Год назад

First of all it’s a totally awesome set up really, enjoyed your video and all of the details… But I agree that the CCE Mat destroyed both my elbows after 4 months. So much so that I needed Physio on both… I switch to the fibrebuilt Grass series and a year and a half later I have zero pain!

@benwilmarth5473 8 месяцев назад

I started with an expensive 5x10 piece of Sym turf (TeeLine) which is pretty close to the CCE mat in how its built and feels. My issue was that in a garage setting where we could not move around the mat much because of space issues and the ball had to be struck in a small area only we wore that expensive material down quickly! If you can't move around much this is why you see most evolve into a replaceable hitting strip setup. So essentially I spent $1000 for a mat that I couldnt use anymore!

@TheEugenelee13 Год назад

Love the video and setup. On the landing area, you’re the first that I’ve seen use an insulator board vs gym mats. When you drive your car in (assuming you do that), do you just lift the landing area up and store it? I’ve been struggling with trying to figure out how to park the car in the area with my enclosure. Your setup might work if I could lift the whole landing area up. And does the insulation board do a good job of slowing down balls off the screen? Thanks!

@rogueengineer Год назад

I don't often park cars in this area so I don't have to move it frequently but yes it is light and would lift up all in one piece to store against the screen. The floor is great for putting but you wouldn't want to count on it for slowing balls down. Thats the job of the screen and the foam mattress topper behind it.

@stevenjakub Год назад

As everyone else said, amazing video, clearly you designed and succeeded in creating a dream simulator. My question is can you go into more detail about how you wired everything to an AV receiver, and how the projector screens works as a second monitor and so on. I love the idea of that for use of golf sim, gaming, movies but you lost me with the details of the wiring. One other question is, if you were to be designing a designated space for this set up, how many power outlets would you have wired? What other wiring would you set up before installing?

Really excellent video.. one of the best simulator build videos on RU-vid! Also.. killer sim build too! 2 questions: 1. Can you share more info on the materials used and how you dropped down the EYEXO? 2. Also, materials and how you mounted Roxor controller on its stand? Thanks so much!

@rogueengineer Год назад

Thank you! To drop the Eye XO I used 1/2” pipe with flanges on each end. Drilled holes to match in the bracket and bolted together. The Roxor controller has a threaded insert in the bottom that will mount to most tripods. Hope that helps!

@dduncan86 4 месяца назад

What connector did you use to attach your side rails to the ceiling and wall?

@scottyoung3329 Год назад

Thanks. Planning for one in same $20,000 price range late 2023-2024. How do we choose?? 1- Other than ceiling mount, why did you choose Uneekor EYE XO over so many others? 2- Are these up-gradable in any way say a few years after purchase? ie. does software improve etc. or are you stuck with what you buy? 3. Putting - No simulator seems to talk much about how the putting works and/or how well. Can anyone help me understand that? 4. Can you connect/watch movies/netflix/TV etc on this giant screen? 5. Why did you buy from Carls instead of a place that has all in one package options like shopindoorgolf? Do you think you got a better all around price buying separately? I'm not as handyman as you so the more complete all in 1 package with great instructions is a big factor for me. Thanks very much for any thoughts suggestions or any other videos that cover how to decide.

@thewilddawg Год назад

Where did you get the stand for the control box?

@benwilmarth5473 8 месяцев назад

Do you or anyone tuning in have the final consensus on the best thickness, size & supplier of a memory foam topper to install behind our impact screens to minimize the bounce back? Also how far away from the impact screen seems to reduce the bounce back and noise as well? Thankyou!

@tlr8611 Год назад

Awesome build and very well made. Behind the screen did the memory foam make a difference with bounce back/sound? If so did you just dangle the pad in mid air or have it right up against the back of the screen?

@rogueengineer Год назад

Thank you! It did make a big difference with bounce back and sound. I have it hanging about 4-6" behind the screen.

@benwilmarth5473 8 месяцев назад

Do you think having any kind of extra padding whether it is a memory foam pad like yours, heavy blankets etc that the additional material behind the screen technically wears the screen quicker since it cuts the amount of screen "throw" down? Hopefully that makes sense.@@rogueengineer

@indianaboyle Год назад

Excellent video, thank you! Does your eyexo have issues with your floor not being level? I’m assuming it’s not level because it’s a Garage. Uneekor told me they can’t guarantee accuracy if the hitting surface is not level

@rogueengineer Год назад

Thank you! Luckily my floor is level but if you don't have a level floor I'm sure you could figure out a way to level the hitting area.

@brendanparry8177 Год назад

@kirkoquinn7396 Год назад

Hey, I did the same thing with the moving blanket and had the same results; the blanket got torn up. The problem with this is the 'black' stuff that came out of the moving blanket got on the balls and then transferred to the screen leaving a noticeable dark area on the screen; essentially ruining the screen. The screen still functions fine, but you can definitely notice the dark area around the center of the screen where all the balls hit. I hope you didn't have the same problem. For all those reading this, DO NOT use a moving blanket behind your impact screen. Just use a comforter or light blocking shade.

@rogueengineer Год назад

I did get a little staining but luckily I caught it in time and it wasn’t too bad. But yes, for everyone else, learn from our bad experiences and don’t use moving blankets!

Did you look at GC2/GC Quad vs your Eye XO? What drew you to the Uneekor? Also have a dream of building one of these but want to buy it all just once lol. Amazing video as always!

@rogueengineer Год назад

I did, liked the Eye XO because it was ceiling mounted. The quad would need to be moved in and out and switched sides for right vs leftys. Overall I think the quad is a great launch monitor as well but I wanted to use GSPro as well and while I think you can make it work, it's not currently a sensor supported by GSPro.

@ChayseGrizzell Год назад

I'm currently working on designing a simulator using the eye xo. Our plan is to convert our home gym. 16' x 20' x 15' My plan is to cut into the existing wall for the impact screen, filling the wall with 3-4 inch memory Foam. The impact screen would run flush with the wall, giving it a nice framed look. I envision using retractable netting/curtains on both sides and top. You would be able to clip and unclip them to the frame and surrounding walls whenever the simulator is being used, while also using the space as a media room similar what you have done. 1. Can I layer the impact screen directly on top memory foam without having additional air space behind the memory foam? 2. Do you actually need an enclosure or could you just attach the curtains along the perimeter of the impact screen/padded frame?
