    Everything looks good. Great job on the platform. Are you using real balls with this?

    Can you list what type of projector you are using, how far away from the screen and how high up in the air you have it mounted...(off the ceiling??)

    Looks great, thanks!!

    No I'm using hard foam balls and have some Callaway hx practice balls on order that I plan to try. I've 2 motorcycles parked in this garage and my wife would kill me if I dinged her Harley.

    It is an older Optima HD71 720p projector, throwing a 16x9 ratio image that is approx. 12x7 feet from about 20-22 feet away

    It is sitting on top of a set of cupboards that I have mounted on the back wall of my garage, about 11 feet off the ground.

    The muslin is working out great. I was a little concerned that it might be too thin when it first arrived and that I should have spent more and got a heavier weight sheet but after hanging it over my canvas drop cloth screen it is working great. It presents a much clearer and sharper image and is perfect for foam balls. Not sure how well it would hold up with real balls however.

    Thanks. With all these solutions longevity and ability to handle real balls is the issue. Let us know how it holds up!
