Honest persona fit, side by side.
Better for C-Series DIY Enclosure (9x12, Premium screen)
- Performance Seeker
Premium 3-layer spacer mesh screen reduces bounce-back that affects launch-monitor accuracy. 9×12 size accommodates full driver swing arc with comfortable bounce-back room.
Better for Retractable Impact Screen
- Space-Constrained
It turns a working garage into a hitting bay and back again. The screen rolls up and the car parks underneath.
