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.
- Family Setup
12-foot width handles right- and left-handed players without repositioning the mat. The cost-effective family answer compared to SIG12 or SwingBay 9×12.
Better for DIY Enclosure Kit (10'4" x 7'11")
- Space-Constrained
A 4:3 frame 7'11" tall, so the enclosure itself fits under rooms that a 9-ft bay will not. Check your swing against the ceiling first.
- Recreational Player
SIG's screen and surround for less than its complete kits, if a trip to the hardware store is not a problem.
