The room you need
| Check | Plan for | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Room depth for the launch monitor | 13.5 ft minimum · 15.5 ft comfortable | 1 ft screen gap + 8–10 ft ball to screen + 4.5 ft behind the ball for the backswing |
| Ceiling for a 5′10″ golfer (driver) | 9′ 2″ | Golfer height + driver arc + mat + margin |
