The Net Return's bay: an aluminum frame with a floating HD screen and valance, high-impact netting, side barriers and frame pads, built on the same tool-free connector system as its nets. We link the Sim 8 at $1,995: a frame 8 ft wide and 3'6" deep, 8'6" tall by Net Return's figure and 8'10" by Indoor Golf Outlet's. The Sim 10 is $2,495 and the Sim 12 $2,995. Net Return lists a minimum room of 10 ft wide, 9 ft high and 14 ft long for the Sim 8, asks for 6 inches behind the bay, and notes some launch monitors need up to 22 ft of length. No screen size is published. The netting is rated to 225 mph by Net Return (Indoor Golf Outlet says 250).

Honest match per persona.
Good for
- Recreational Player
Tool-free color-coded connectors and a 3'6" deep frame, from the brand most people already know for practice nets.

Netting, side barriers and frame pads around the screen for a room where people walk past the bay.
Not for
- Showroom
A netted bay with a hanging screen and no published screen size. A showroom room wants a rigid enclosure.
