3. Setup Instructions
- Unpack the Screen: Carefully remove the impact screen from its packaging. Note that the screen may have creases due to folding.
- Prepare the Mounting Area: Ensure your chosen mounting area (e.g., a frame, wall, or GoSports ELITE Golf Net) is clear and stable.
- Attach the Screen:
- Using Grommets: The screen features 4 grommets at each corner. Use the included shock cords or other suitable fasteners (bungees, hooks, ropes) to secure the screen to your frame or mounting points.
- With GoSports ELITE Golf Net: If using with the GoSports ELITE Golf Net, align the screen with the net's frame. The screen is designed to seamlessly connect using its proprietary quick-connect design, often involving Velcro strips along the top edge and grommets for additional securing.
- Ensure Proper Tension: Stretch the screen taut to minimize wrinkles and provide a flat surface for optimal projection and ball impact. You may need to adjust the tension at various points. Placing weights along the bottom edge can help keep the screen flat and prevent balls from rolling underneath.
- Remove Creases (Optional): For a smoother projection surface, gently steam the screen with a low-temperature hand steamer to remove any remaining creases. Alternatively, hitting golf balls into the screen over time can also help reduce creases.

- Projector Placement: Position your projector at a suitable distance to fill the screen area. Ensure a minimum distance of 5 feet from the screen to the hitting surface for safety and optimal projection.

5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Light stains can be gently brushed off. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Ball Cleanliness: Keep your golf balls clean to prevent dirt and marks from transferring to the screen.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, it is recommended to carefully fold or roll the screen and store it in a dry, cool place to prevent damage and prolong its lifespan.
- Crease Management: If creases appear, gentle steaming can help smooth them out.
6. Troubleshooting
- Wrinkles/Creases: If the screen appears wrinkled, ensure it is stretched taut during installation. Gentle steaming can also help. Over time, repeated impacts can also help flatten the screen.
- Poor Image Quality: Ensure your projector is correctly aligned and focused. Check the projector's resolution and aspect ratio settings to match the screen. Ensure the screen is uniformly taut.
- Ball Rebound: If balls are rebounding excessively, ensure the screen is properly tensioned and has some give. Adding weights or securing the bottom edge can help absorb impact and prevent balls from rolling underneath.
- Screen Damage: While durable, continuous impact in the exact same spot or with damaged balls can cause wear. Inspect the screen periodically for any signs of damage.
