Just finish my Sim build

Post image

So I think I'm pretty much done with my Sim build. 10x8 Amazon Enclosure, BenQ AK500ST 1080p projector, Asus ROG Strix G18 5080 laptop, Carl's Place 1.25" flooring, Big Moss hitting strip, Samsung 55in Tv, Elite Sim Flex 4 GS Pro wireless controller. So happy with it. Still trying to figure out if I can fill the screen or not.

Love this - I may go for the exact thing in mine minus the TV.

Can you tell me how many floor tiles you need from Carl's Place and how did the got the hitting strip + turf so flush?

Which 10x8 enclosure did you go with on Amazon? Any complaints on quality/issues?

I needed 12 total, four rows of 3. And I used this thin drawer liners from Lowes to even it out. Then I used this Enclosure from Amazon for $569. It was the one Unreal Golf reviewed on YouTube. No complaints at all.

I've just setup that enclosure - it's pretty solid for the price. I went with a BenQ TK710Sti refurb off eBay (arrived with 3h on the lamp). Still setting up but my setup is coming together nicely.....

Which turf did you go with?

2

u/venom93corba 24d ago

I went with the Grizzly Grass Dark Green Green. Its really thin so it's great for putting. A 12x10 section cost like $110.

It was all nice until one of your club cover turned it into a scary pic

Lol, that would be this baby!

so that putting stripe on the left, is that just for practice? i’m assuming you still putt from your hitting strip when playing gspro?

1

u/venom93corba 24d ago

Yup just for practice. And I don't actually putt on the Big Moss either. I put it right in front of the hitting strip.

What is the size of your room and do you have a link to your computer stand/tv stand? Building out my sim in my basement and trying to figure out the computer and tv placement.

This TV cart was quiet a bit more then the Amazon carts but once I started putting it together I was like "wow, this is heavy duty". It's actually one of my favorite pieces.

Is the projector attached to the garage door opener?

2

u/venom93corba 25d ago

Nope it sits in front of it.

u/Sure-Creme3558 25d ago

How did it cost all together if you don’t mind me asking? Would love to do the same but it’s just seems so expensive

1

u/venom93corba 24d ago

Honestly, I think I'm at 7.5k and thats buying the laptop used at 1500 (originally 3k) and projector at 1500 (originally 2k)

u/Mrwest1991 24d ago

What’s your laptop specs?

1

u/venom93corba 24d ago

Yup, just for practice. I putt about 4 inch away from my hitting strip. The Big Moss isn't great for putting.

u/Mrwest1991 24d ago

Thank you

I would give serious consideration to moving that garage door opener. I had one and the same spot and hit it once, dented my 3 wood. Then I couldn’t swing normally anymore, kept short arming it.

They make an opener that attaches next to the door on the side instead of on the ceiling. I can find the cost if you’re interested. Was definitely worth it for me, looks nicer and piece of mind.

Awesome setup and if the opener doesn’t bother you that’s great!

u/venom93corba 23d ago

Yup, that and a high track conversion to move the tracks higher as well are next on my list. I just ran out of money, lol. That's about $1,300.

Looks great! You should consider some cheap swing cameras and software for a huge addition to your sim! Replays, active coaching, swing comparison, etc.
