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 Premium Deluxe Enclosure

  • Recreational Player

    One box with the screen, walls, roof, padding and a blackout screen behind it. The double-layer screen keeps light from passing through, which helps in a garage that is never fully dark.
