Good Golf Simulators Begin With A Solid Golf Impact Screen

At Spectrum Golf, we’ve been hands-on with golf impact screens for over ten years. We’re based right in Central North Carolina, where textiles are more than a tradition. They’re in the fabric of the place. Our team knows golf simulator screen material inside and out because we’ve worked alongside the people who actually make it.

A lot of companies just click a button and wait for a delivery. We don’t do that. We get in the truck and go straight to the plant where the material is made. That one decision changes everything. It means we can keep our material costs low and save a small fortune on shipping. You end up with a better screen and a lower price.

We’re proud to say that our prices come in about ten to twenty percent lower than the big guys. That’s not hype. That’s just how things add up when you stay close to the source.

Custom Screens for Real Golfers

When it comes to golf simulator screens, we’ve seen it all. Velcro edges. Reinforced grommets. Sewn-in straps. Custom sleeves. If you’ve got an idea in your head, chances are we’ve made something just like it. And if you need help with the design or installation, send us an email. There’s no charge for that. We actually enjoy helping people build out their setups.

We don’t push cookie-cutter options. Every golf setup is different. A garage simulator isn’t the same as a media room. A scratch golfer doesn’t swing like someone just starting out. Your screen should match your swing and your space. That’s what we do here.

What Makes One Golf Screen Better Than Another

We offer four different kinds of golf impact screen material. All of them are made from durable polyester and all of them are produced in the United States. The main differences come down to how the material is woven and the quality of the yarn.

Each type is tested and rated across key categories like image clarity, durability, bounce-back, noise level, resistance to wrinkles, and how well it holds up over time. If you're not sure what fits your setup, we put together a golf screen comparison chart that breaks it all down in plain language.

GOLF SCREEN MATERIAL

Golf simulator screens are graded on durability, image quality, bounce back, noise level, wrinkle resistance, and stain resistance.   When selecting a golf screen consider the followng questions:

1) Is it more for golf, home theater or both?

2) How often are you going to use it? If often, then durability might be more important

3) Do you have a high club speed where bounce back might be an issue?

4) Do you need a quieter screen ? Your using it at night while others sleep/ watch TV or your neighbor might hear it.

5) Are you going to have a golf simulator net or panel behind it?

These questions might help you determine the right golf screen for you.

Supertex Golf Simulator Screen Material

The Best Entry-Level Golf Screen for Home Use

If you’re looking for a reliable, budget-friendly golf simulator screen, Supertex is the perfect starting point. Designed for casual golfers and weekend warriors, this screen material is ideal for building your own home golf simulator without breaking the bank.

Supertex is made for residential golf setups, particularly for players who use their simulators a few times a week. While it's considered our entry-level option, it still delivers surprisingly clear image quality, making it a solid choice for both golf practice and home theater projection.

The polyester material has a firm, structured feel, which provides a strong impact surface, but it can cause bounce-back if your screen is too close or if you're swinging with serious speed. We recommend pairing it with a net or protective backing panel for best results. It also produces more sound at impact than our higher-end options, so that’s something to consider if you’re setting up in a shared or quiet space.

If you're searching for an affordable golf impact screen that gets the job done and lets you practice at home, Supertex is a smart, cost-effective solution.

  • Ideal for budget golf simulator builds and entry-level golfers

  • Great option for a garage golf simulator or spare room setup

  • Works well for players who want dual-use as a home theater screen

  • Best suited for use with a golf net or screen backing panel

  • Offers clear projection and a good hitting surface at a low price

  • Perfect for DIYers searching for “cheap golf screen for home use

Poly Blend 95 Golf Simulator Screen Material

Built for Power Swings, HD Projection, and Everyday Play

Poly Blend 95 is one of the best values in the golf simulator market today. If you’re searching for a golf screen that delivers professional-grade quality without the professional price tag, this is the material to beat. Built from tightly woven polyester, this high-performance golf simulator screen offers everything home golfers and commercial setups need—minimal bounce-back, HD-ready clarity, stain resistance, and long-lasting durability.

We developed Poly Blend 95 in 2021 by working closely with a trusted local screen fabricator. Our goal was simple. Create a golf screen material that performs like a premium model, but at a price real golfers can afford. Whether you're building a garage golf simulator, upgrading your hitting bay, or designing a multi-use golf and home theater setup, Poly Blend 95 checks every box.

This screen is designed to handle high swing speeds with ease. The weave flexes slightly on impact, which helps reduce bounce-back even at ball speeds over 180 mph. We've tested it from wedge to driver—no flinching, no warping, no issues.

The coated surface is smooth and stain-resistant, which makes cleaning fast and easy. A little hot water and stain spray is usually all it takes. It's also wrinkle-resistant right out of the box, saving you time and hassle during installation. And because of the tight-knit construction, you’ll notice a sharper, crisper HD image, making it perfect for watching movies or gaming between sessions.

And the best part? It starts at under $175. You’re getting premium golf screen performance at a fraction of what most competitors charge.

Key Benefits of Poly Blend 95:

  • Tightly woven polyester golf screen material for long-lasting performance

  • Built for garage golf simulators, home setups, and commercial use

  • Handles ball speeds of 180 mph+ with minimal bounce-back

  • HD projection surface delivers sharp, theater-quality visuals

  • Wrinkle-resistant and easy to install

  • Stain-resistant coating for easy cleanup and maintenance

  • Ideal for searchers looking for the best golf screen under $200

  • Perfect choice for those needing a low bounce golf simulator screen

Poly Spacer Golf Simulator Screen Material

Commercial-Grade Durability. Ultra HD Image Quality. Zero Backing Needed.

The Poly Spacer golf screen is the top-tier choice for serious golfers, high-speed hitters, and commercial simulator setups. Built with a double-layer construction and a cushioned nylon core, this screen is engineered to handle the most demanding environments—without the need for a net or back panel.

At approximately 3mm thick, this material is nearly twice as thick as standard golf impact screens. That extra padding makes all the difference. It absorbs the force of impact, reduces noise, minimizes bounce-back, and still delivers a clear, bright HD image for your simulator. Whether you're setting up a garage golf simulator, running a commercial facility, or building a top-tier home golf bay, Poly Spacer delivers unmatched quality.

We use this same material in our ProSeries Golf Enclosures and across all commercial installations. It’s that reliable. If you're upgrading one thing in your simulator, make it your screen—and make it this one.

Built to Perform. Designed to Last.

Poly Spacer is constructed from impact-resistant polyester with a nylon spacer cushion, allowing it to absorb ball speeds over 180 mph with ease. We've tested it from wedge to driver, and bounce-back is incredibly low thanks to the layered construction. You don’t need to worry about extra nets, panels, or backing. This screen stands on its own.

The tightly woven face gives you stunning HD projection, perfect for dual-use setups where your simulator doubles as a theater. The added thickness also reduces noise, making it an excellent choice for indoor spaces, shared environments, or late-night practice sessions.

Cleaning is simple. The stain-resistant coating wipes clean with hot water and stain spray. It arrives wrinkle-resistant and ready to hang, and can be lightly ironed before installation for a flawless finish.

Why Poly Spacer Stands Out

  • Dual-layer golf simulator screen material with built-in nylon cushion

  • Twice the thickness of standard screens for added performance

  • Designed for garage simulators, indoor golf studios, and commercial enclosures

  • Handles high swing speeds and ball speeds over 180 mph

  • No net or backing panel required

  • Delivers crisp, bright HD image quality

  • Naturally reduces bounce-back and impact noise

  • Stain-resistant and wrinkle-resistant with easy maintenance

  • Trusted in all Spectrum Golf ProSeries installations

  • Competitive pricing through direct-from-manufacturer sourcing

  • A top result for golfers searching premium golf impact screen, best indoor golf screen, or professional golf simulator screen material

Golf Screen Tips

Everything You Need to Know About Setup, Cleaning, and Long-Term Use

If you're building a golf simulator—or already have one—you probably care a lot about how it performs. Your golf impact screen is front and center, taking every hit, every scuff, and showing every image. Taking care of it the right way means better visuals, better performance, and longer lifespan.

Let’s walk through some of the most common questions we get from golfers just like you.

How Do I Get Wrinkles Out of My Golf Simulator Screen?

This one comes up all the time. Most golf simulator screens ship folded, which means you’re going to see creases when you first take it out of the box. We’ve had plenty of people ask us if we can roll screens instead, but shipping a nine-foot tube gets expensive fast.

Here’s what we recommend:

  1. Lay the golf screen flat on a clean floor and use a household iron on medium heat to press out the folds. Take your time and don’t overheat it.

  2. Or just hang it up and wait. Once it’s stretched and under tension, most of the wrinkles will relax and disappear on their own within a few days.

This works for all of our materials, including Poly Blend 95 and the Poly Spacer.

How Do You Clean a Golf Impact Screen?

Even with brand-new golf balls and a clean hitting mat, your screen’s going to get dirty. It’s just part of the game. The key is knowing how to clean your golf simulator screen without damaging the material.

Here’s our go-to method:

  • Use a clean white towel soaked in hot water and gently blot the stained area.

  • If the stain sticks, spray it with Shout or another fabric stain remover, let it sit for a minute, then try again with the hot towel.

  • You may need to repeat the process a few times for deeper marks.

  • Always use clean, unmarked golf balls to help prevent stains in the first place. Dirty balls leave smudges and scuffs that are harder to clean.

No screen stays flawless forever, especially when you’re blasting golf balls at 100+ mph. But with the right care, you can keep yours looking clean and professional for a long time.

GOLF SCREEN WEAR and TEAR

We are constantly asked "How long will my golf screen last? " That is the million dollar question. We have seen screens last 5 plus years and we have had customers buy a new screen every year. What are the factors that determine this?

 

1) Rate of Use.  

2) Distance from Screen Hitting 10 ft from screen is better than hitting 8 ft from screen

3) Ball speed The harder you hit the ball, the more you compress the screen

4) Ball Spin Rate. Ive seen high spin wedges wear out a screen before a driver with low spin. If you have a high spin rate, buy the poly spacer.

4) Setup and Back Protection. Make sure you have a net, pad or panel behind your golf screen

6) Screen Tightness. You should be able to take your finger and compress the screen 3-4 inches. Dont overtighten screen. Also keep the bottom loose

 

BEST PIECE OF ADVICEON BUYING A GOLF SCREEN- If you are building a golf simulator, there are 2 components you want to buy the best and spend the most money on. The Golf Screen and the Hitting Mat. Think about it, those are the 2 components are you are striking everytime you swing the club 70-100 times a round. If you can afford the poly spacer material, BUY IT. You will not regret it.

How Long Does a Golf Simulator Screen Last?

Ah, the million-dollar question: How long will my golf screen hold up?

The answer depends on how hard and how often you’re swinging. We’ve had customers get five or more years out of a screen, and others who replace theirs yearly. It all comes down to a few key things:

  • Usage frequency – More swings mean more wear. Simple as that.

  • Distance from screen – Ten feet is better than eight. The farther the ball travels, the less energy it slams into the screen with.

  • Ball speed and compression – If you’re swinging hard, you’re putting more pressure on the material.

  • Spin rate – High-spin wedges can actually wear through a screen faster than a low-spin driver. Surprising, but true.

  • Screen setup – Always pair your screen with a net, pad, or impact panel behind it to help absorb force.

  • Tension – Your golf screen should have some give. You want to be able to press it back 3 to 4 inches with your finger. Too tight, and it wears out faster. Leave the bottom edge loose as well.

If you’ve got a fast swing or you’re playing every day, we always point folks toward the Poly Spacer golf screen. It’s our thickest, most padded material and doesn’t even require a backing panel. Built for longevity.

What Should I Spend the Most On in My Golf Simulator?

This is one of those tips we’ve learned after seeing hundreds of setups. If you’re budgeting your simulator, spend more on two things—the hitting mat and the golf screen.

Why? Because these are the only two things you’re hitting every single time you swing. Whether it’s 70 swings or 100 swings per round, your club is slamming into the mat and your ball is crashing into the screen. Everything else is just support.

If your budget allows it, go with the Poly Spacer golf screen material. It’s quiet. It’s thick. It handles ball speeds over 180 mph. It looks amazing. And it lasts. You won’t regret spending a little more on the part of your simulator that takes the most abuse.

Understanding Aspect Ratios for Golf Simulator Screens

Why the "Perfect Ratio" Might Be the Wrong Fit

This is one of the biggest misconceptions we run into when people shop for a golf impact screen. Customers often tell us they want a screen in a “perfect 4:3” or “exact 16:10” aspect ratio, thinking that it’s the best choice for their simulator. Some companies even build golf simulator screens in those exact ratios—and sell it like it’s a feature.

Here’s the reality: it makes no sense to shrink your golf screen just to match a projector ratio.

Let’s break it down. Say you’ve got 10 feet of width to work with. A 4:3 aspect ratio golf screen at 120 inches wide would be 90 inches tall. A 16:10 ratio screen would be even shorter at 75 inches tall. But if your space can handle a screen that’s 120 inches wide by 108 inches tall, why would you intentionally cut down your hitting area just to match a number?

The truth is, aspect ratio matters less than most people think when it comes to golf simulators. What matters more is filling your space with the biggest screen possible.

Here’s What We Recommend

  1. Max out your screen size. Always get the largest golf screen that will physically fit in your space—regardless of aspect ratio. You’re creating a hitting area, not just a movie screen.

  2. White space is normal. In almost every setup, you’ll end up with some white space on the top, bottom, or sides. That’s perfectly fine. It doesn’t affect performance or visuals during gameplay.

  3. Your projector settings are flexible. Most projectors allow you to change aspect ratios in the settings menu. You can switch from 4:3 to 16:10 or 16:9 with a couple of clicks.

  4. Most golf simulator software runs in 4:3. Programs like E6 Connect, GSPro, and TGC tend to default to a 4:3 layout. That means your projected image will usually match that format, no matter what your screen size is.

  5. For a true 4:3 screen, 12x9 is your golden ratio. But again, only go that route if it fits your space best. Bigger is better when it comes to your hitting area.

So, What’s the Best Aspect Ratio for a Golf Simulator?

Here’s the short answer: The best golf screen size is the biggest one your space allows. Aspect ratio is important for your projector settings, but not something to obsess over when buying a screen.

Want a screen that gives you maximum coverage, maximum impact absorption, and a more immersive golf experience? Go big. Don’t trim down your setup just to chase a clean 4:3 or 16:10 number.

And if you’re not sure what screen size fits your space or what aspect ratio will look best with your projector, we’re happy to help. We’ve seen every setup under the sun—and we can help you dial yours in fast.

Golf Screen Material Construction

How Golf Impact Screens Are Made—and What Quality Really Looks Like

When you're shopping for a golf simulator screen, you're not just buying a piece of fabric. You're buying the single surface that takes the most abuse—absorbing high-speed shots, projecting your game in HD, and holding up through thousands of swings. That all starts with how your golf screen material is made, and the truth is, not all golf screens are created equal.

Unlike standard textiles that come in narrow widths of 50 to 54 inches, golf impact screen fabric is one of the few materials knitted at a full 120 inches wide. That extra width is critical for garage golf simulators, commercial simulator bays, and indoor golf enclosures, where full wall coverage is essential.

To knit this oversized fabric, manufacturers use high-speed, large-format knitting machines—some stretching up to 15 feet wide. These machines run for hours at a time, pulling thousands of threads under continuous tension to produce hundreds of yards of golf simulator screen fabric. This is a precision process, but with any complex textile production, minor issues can occur.

What Causes Defects in Golf Impact Screen Material?

One of the most common flaws is a broken thread during the knitting process. If a thread snaps, the machine keeps going—knitting away without interruption. While operators check regularly for breaks, there's often a delay between the break and the repair. That creates what’s known in the industry as a golf screen defect—a line or gap in the material where the weave isn’t complete.

These defects can be a few inches or a few feet in length and are considered acceptable by industry standards. On average, you’ll find one fabric defect per 10 yards (30 feet) in most rolls of golf screen material.

But at Spectrum Golf, we don’t settle for industry average.

When we inspect a roll and find a defect—whether it's a line, gap, or weave inconsistency—we cut it out. We never include flawed sections in any golf simulator screen we sell. This is one reason our customers consistently rate us as the best source for high-quality golf simulator screen material.

What About Stains on Golf Screens?

Another common concern is fabric staining. During manufacturing, the knitting machines use lubricants and oils to keep everything running smoothly. Sometimes that oil seeps onto the fabric surface. In addition, every textile facility is filled with airborne dust, thread particles, and fibers—all of which can settle on the material during handling.

As the screen moves through various machines and packaging stages, these factors can result in minor surface stains or smudges.

That’s why we double down on quality control. At Spectrum Golf, we hand-inspect every roll of screen material before cutting. If we see oil marks, dark fibers, or dirt smudges, we cut around them. We only send out clean, top-grade golf screen material—free of visual distractions and built to last.

Why Golfers Trust Spectrum Golf Screens

  • We use true 120-inch wide golf simulator fabric built for full-size simulator enclosures

  • Every roll is inspected for defects, stains, or quality issues before it's shipped

  • We exceed industry norms by eliminating visible knitting flaws and oil streaks

  • Our screens are used in garage golf simulators, indoor golf studios, and commercial golf facilities

  • Customers searching for golf screen with no defects, premium golf screen material, or best golf impact screen for high swing speeds land here for a reason

Golf simulator screens aren't just about looks—they’re about performance, durability, and consistency. From how they’re woven to how they're inspected, every screen we build is made to deliver on all fronts.

Want a screen that looks good, plays hard, and lasts longer? Start with the material. Then trust the people who know how to spot quality before the screen even ships.

Golf Impact Screen Construction

What Makes a Spectrum Golf Screen Different (and Why It Lasts Longer)

One of the biggest questions we hear is:
“How do I install my golf impact screen?”

Fair question—because not all screens are built the same, and not all mounting systems hold up over time. In fact, most golf simulator screens sold today fall into two basic categories:

Raw cut fabric (just the material, no edges finished)
Hemmed screens with grommets for mounting to a frame

That’s it. Two simple options. But both come with their own problems.
Raw cut edges fray over time. Grommets rip under tension. Ball bungees stretch or snap.
And none of them allow you to make proper adjustments to screen tension once it's installed.

That’s where Spectrum Golf changed the game.

We looked at the standard methods and said, “There has to be a better way.” So we built one.

At Spectrum Golf, we pioneered the sleeve and strap system—a smarter, stronger, more adjustable way to install your golf screen. This isn't just another mounting option. It’s a major upgrade in durability, appearance, and ease of use.

Instead of pulling tension directly on the screen or relying on fragile grommets, our screens are built with reinforced fabric sleeves that accept a PVC pipe. A ¾-inch adjustable strap runs through a discreet slit in the sleeve and attaches to your frame. All the pulling force is absorbed by the pipe inside the sleeve, not the screen itself. That means no rips, no sagging, and no blown-out corners.

You get a tight, clean fit with smooth edges, almost like a picture frame. And because the straps are adjustable, you can fine-tune the tension on each side for a perfect wrinkle-free look—something you simply can't do with ball bungees or zip ties.

We’ve used this system for over 10 years now across all of our screen designs—from DIY enclosures to commercial installs. And in all that time, we’ve never had a strap rip through one of our screens.

Standard Golf Screen

Our Standard Golf Simulator Screen features sleeves on all four sides, stopping 3 inches from each corner to allow clean wrapping and tensioning. This design is ideal for mounting into a 4-sided golf simulator frame.

To ensure proper sleeve tension and spacing, your frame should be 8 to 12 inches larger than the screen dimensions. This setup gives you a smooth, taut surface with zero sag and a professional, picture-frame look. Perfect for garage setups or permanent enclosures where you want a strong, reliable mount.

 9.jpg

Notched Golf Screen

The Notched Golf Impact Screen is built specifically for our 14-inch deep golf screen frames and similar wraparound enclosures.

Each corner includes a 3.5-inch notch, and the sleeves run all the way through each side, allowing the screen to wrap seamlessly around the frame while maintaining full tension. This screen is limited to 105 inches in height due to sleeve construction but can be made in any length.

If you’ve got a deep enclosure or are building a frame that wraps like ours, this is the go-to solution for a clean, customized fit. 

10.jpg  

Hanging Golf Screen

Our Hanging Golf Simulator Screen is made to suspend from overhead or mount vertically in front of garage doors or movable walls.

This version includes sleeves on the top and bottom to hold a pipe or conduit and hemmed sides for clean edges. Optional: we can sew in adjustable side straps for even more control.

Designed for flexibility, this screen is great for temporary or retractable simulator spaces where you need something that’s easy to hang, adjust, or move as needed.

Other Golf Screen Designs

Looking for something unique? We’ve got you covered. We build a wide range of custom golf screen solutions, including:

  • Screens with 2-inch hems, grommets, and Velcro for traditional installations

  • Golf screens with sewn-in pads or impact panels for high-speed hitting bays

  • Custom-fit screens for top brands like TruGolf, Sports Screen, and more

If you can sketch it, dream it, or describe it—we can build it. We’ve made hundreds of custom golf screens over the years for every type of simulator space you can imagine.

Whatever your vision is, we’ll help you bring it to life.

Golf Screen Padding

Protect Your Screen, Your Wall, and Your Sanity

Let’s talk about one of the most overlooked—but most important—parts of a golf simulator setup: padding behind your golf screen.

Most people don’t think about it until it’s too late. You set up your shiny new simulator, take a few solid swings, and suddenly your screen starts showing stress lines… or worse, the drywall behind it catches a dimple.

Here’s the truth: you need padding behind your golf impact screen—unless you’re using our Poly Spacer material, which is thick and tough enough to handle full-speed shots on its own. Every other screen? It needs backup.

Here’s what we recommend if you want your screen to last:

  • Impact netting – A classic solution that reduces tension and bounceback

  • Blackout panels with grommets – These not only protect, they reduce noise and light bleed

  • Our Cover HD golf screen pads – Designed to sit directly behind your screen and take the impact like a champ

  • Perimeter screen pads – These line the top, sides, and bottom of your screen to protect your frame from wild shots and add a clean, finished look

Whether you’re working with a tight space or just want your simulator to look more polished, Golf padding isn’t optional—it’s essential. It extends the life of your screen, keeps your wall (and anyone standing behind it) safe, and cuts down on bounceback noise. And trust us, your ears will thank you.

Golf Screen Installation and Design

Let’s Build a Setup That Actually Works for Your Space

There are a dozen ways to install a golf screen—and none of them are wrong. But some work a lot better than others depending on your space, budget, and how often you plan to play.

You can mount your golf simulator screen to a custom frame, build a DIY cage out of EMT or steel pipe, suspend it from the ceiling, or go full pro with a complete enclosure. There’s no single best method—just the one that fits your space and your goals.

Not sure where to start? We’ve got you. Shoot us an email at optishotgolfsimulator@gmail.com or fill out our screen request form, and we’ll walk you through it. No pressure. No guesswork.

But first—here are a few questions we’ll ask to help build the best setup for your golf simulator:

  1. What are your exact dimensions?
    Width, height, depth. Let’s measure twice and build once.

  2. What launch monitor or sim are you using?
    Some systems (like TrackMan or Uneekor) need a specific ball-to-screen distance to work correctly.

  3. Do you need side or ceiling protection?
    If you’ve ever hit a hosel rocket, you know what we’re talking about.

  4. Is this a permanent build or a temporary setup?
    Your answer here changes everything—frame style, screen material, even mounting method.

  5. Where’s your projector going?
    Ceiling-mounted, floor-based, or frame-attached? We’ll help you get the best image without casting shadows or getting hit.

  6. What’s your ceiling like?
    Sloped? Vaulted? Got ductwork, lights, garage door openers in the way? We’ve seen it all.

  7. Are there windows, doors, or obstacles nearby?
    If your screen is going in front of a window or garage door, we’ll help you find the right style that still gives you access.

  8. Are you using the simulator just for golf—or movie nights too?
    If HD image quality matters, we’ll guide you to the best screen material for dual use.

  9. Is sound a concern?
    If your sim is in a shared room or near bedrooms, we’ll help you reduce noise with padding and smart design.

  10. Are you building the frame yourself—or do you want a ready-made kit?
    We can support either way, from full DIY to done-for-you solutions.

Your space is unique, and your setup should be too. We’ve helped golfers install simulators in garages, basements, spare bedrooms, warehouses—even barns. If you can swing it, we can help you build it.
