A golf simulator projector puts the course on your impact screen. The best choice depends on where it can be mounted, how bright your room is, and the shape of your screen.

What to consider

• Throw distance: Short-throw projectors mount closer to the screen, staying out of your swing path and reducing shadows.
• Brightness: Rooms with windows or ambient light need higher brightness for a clean image.
• Aspect ratio: Match the projector to your screen shape (4:3, 16:10, or 16:9) so the image fills the screen.
• Mounting: Ceiling mounts protect the projector and keep it out of reach of stray shots.
