Finalize and Test Simulator

works in a second hey before I start launching this thing up I hit about 300 balls over the weekend to make sure nothing fails and there's six things that I've learned that I need to pass on to you guys number one is the bounceback on these screens by adding a 2-in mattress topper on the back at least like a Kings size having a hanging straight down flush against the impact screen decreases it by at least 50% of the amount of ball bounceback number two I had the material hanging I had some batting there and because we're using real balls it all fell apart the same day the solution that I found is by using lawn edging guard the plastic rubber I stuff and securing with screws about every 8 in there's a great job to retaining a nice image picture like a frame and at the same time decreasing the amount of ball bounce back when it hits the 2x4 as a little added feature I added Flex tape waterproofing sheathing tape just to keep the balls from puncturing through the plastic number three extra ball bounce back on the floor we had to add extra padding not only did we have our carpet pad but we also put out workout mats down below to keep this area as soft as possible because when the balls fall down here the softer this area is the less chances they're going to start rolling out towards number four I changed my bungees instead of using really thick stuff and having a tie off knot it punctures through the metal ring that's surounded with all the impact so instead getting a smaller thinner maybe like a 3/8 in bungee but looping it through allows for this to be secured very well even if the Rings fail it's still connected to the fabric number five is the distances make sure you have 16 Ines of space behind this impact screen to allow for The Recoil of that screen so it's not hitting walls and then launching the balls back at you and number six I added curtains here these are very inexpensive they're about 40 bucks a piece I have two of them and allows for when the balls when they do hit a shank ball hits flies out at you because they hit a 2x4 it stops it down below you're not breaking any windshields in your garage you're not hitting anybody in the face and you're having a safe experience now let's hit some balls [Music] [Applause] he [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] all right let's talk about the budget breakdown for this golf simulator build the framing was $54 the fabric was $140 the screen and the bungee cords were $145 the spotlight and all the…
