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.
| Viewable image width | 0.5 throw ratio | 0.8 throw ratio | 1.0 throw ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 ft | 4.0 ft lens-to-image plane | 6.4 ft | 8.0 ft |
| 10 ft | 5.0 ft lens-to-image plane | 8.0 ft | 10.0 ft |
| 12 ft | 6.0 ft lens-to-image plane | 9.6 ft | 12.0 ft |
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.
Treat the table as geometry—not a projector recommendation
The arithmetic uses viewable image width, not enclosure outside width. The exact projector may measure throw from a specified lens reference point and may have zoom, offset or lens-shift constraints. Confirm the selected aspect ratio and image height too.
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
