Persona fitWho each one is better for
Who each one is better for
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 Foldable Golf Simulator Enclosure
- Space-Constrained
Folds to 13 inches against a wall with the screen and side walls still attached. For a garage or spare room that has another job during the week, this is the form factor — and nothing else in the catalog does it.
- Recreational Player
Real containment without committing the room permanently, which is usually the actual blocker for a casual buyer rather than money.
Both fit
- Family Setup
