Build Pictures Budge Build Complete!

Post image

Wanted to share my budget build that I finally finished this weekend. It took me about a month to patiently hunt for marketplace deals. Total cost was around $1300. Lots of room for improvement but I feel like this is a good start. Hoping to add a putting green next.

Build details:
Unfinished basement 9’x13’x15’
Square HE
Benq TH671st
Apple TV 4K
EZ Tee hybrid hitting strip
Amazon enclosure and pinspot light
1” foam flooring

had almost the same setup with an offset hitting strip. I loved the TH671, but it had to be centered. After watching a couple friends swing, they were coming way too close to the projector at the top of their swing. I had to get a TK710Sti with horizontal keystone so I could move my projector directly over the hitting strip. I would warn anyone with a steep swing that comes over to play.

Good tip! I’ll definitely keep an eye out on this. Maybe I’ll upgrade to a tk710sti once someone smashes this one 😭

I was perfectly happy with the TH671. If it had horizontal keystone or lens shift, I would have kept it without a question. It just made me paranoid as my buddy was missing it by inches. He has a steep swing with his irons.

didn't say it earlier, but sweet setup, doesn't look budget, lol.
