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 Motorized Retractable Impact Screen
- Space-Constrained
It retracts completely into a ceiling roller, which is the least intrusive projection surface available. In a room that has to serve another purpose, nothing else gets this far out of the way.
- Recreational Player
Straightforward and quiet, with programmable stops so it lands where you want it every time. The kind of thing that gets used because it is easy.
Both fit
