Room size: will the Trackman 4 fit?

The Trackman 4 sits on the floor behind the ball, looking down the target line. A radar unit behind the ball has to see the ball fly before it hits the screen, so depth is the critical dimension.

DimensionWhat to plan forHow it's worked out
Depth, screen to back wall18 ft minimum · 19 ft comfortable1 ft screen gap + 8 ft of ball flight + 7 ft unit distance + 1 ft behind the unit
Width, right-handed only10 ft minimum · 12 ft comfortableSwing arc on both sides of the golfer
Width, left- and right-handed12 ft minimumCentered hitting area so either stance fits
