Who each one is better for

Honest persona fit, side by side.

Better for ProScreen 180 Retractable

  • Space-Constrained

    The space-constrained secondary. The room reverts to non-golf use between sessions — the only enclosure on this list that does this. Pro Rack option avoids drilling for renters.

Better for Golf Simulator Enclosure (SIM 1)

  • Recreational Player

    A complete kit with a 3-layer screen and dark velour walls for a better-looking picture, at a price close to a Carl's kit plus pipe.

Both fit

  • Family Setup
