Golf Simulator Projector: Throw & Placement Guide

The lens must produce the target image from a location that is outside the swing and avoids the golfer casting a disruptive shadow.

Safety/fit gate: dimensions here are planning prompts, not clearance certification. Perform controlled swing tests with every user and verify exact monitor, enclosure and projector requirements.

Use the throw-ratio equation

Throw distance equals image width multiplied by throw ratio. Use the manufacturer calculator for lens shift, zoom range and exact mounting limits.

Plan the whole image

Match screen viewable area and software aspect ratio. A wider enclosure does not guarantee the projector can fill it without overspill or cropping.

  • Screen viewable width/height
  • Native projector aspect ratio
  • Mount-to-screen distance
  • Golfer and club shadow path
  • Cable/power route and service access

Start with your dimensions

Run the integrated room planner, then compare the installed budget.
