FAQ
Golf Studios marked with an "H" feature increased height while maintaining the same width as other models. The extra height improves projection ratios, delivering superior image quality.
Can I mount a vanish series to walls or ceilings?
Vanish Studios can be mounted on either walls or ceilings using the included Versatile Mounting Brackets. Please ensure there is 8"-12" of clearance between the back of the screens and what you’re protecting.
The Vanish Series is compatible with ceiling heights ranging from 62" to 115". For taller ceilings, we offer 2-foot extensions to accommodate additional height.
What are the power requirements and operating limits of the motor?
Our motors operate at 120V ~ 60Hz, with a power rating of 280W / 2.4A. They have a maximum operating time of 4 minutes; if used beyond this, the motor may shut down as a built-in thermal protection mechanism. Please ensure that your outlets and region support this power requirement. If not, a suitable converter or transformer will be needed. Should the motor shut down due to overheating, allow at least 15 minutes for it to cool before resuming operation.
How far off of surfaces does the Vanish Series need to mount?
The Vanish Studio needs to be 8 – 12 inches off the back wall and side screens need to be 6 – 8 inches off of side walls.
How do I get power to my Vanish Series Studio?
The Vanish Series Golf Studio features a motor power cord that can be mounted on either side of the screen's roller tube. You can connect to a nearby standard 110V power outlet, or opt for a hand crank option if power is unavailable.
The Vanish Series isn't hanging evenly, how can I fix this?
If the Vanish Studio is not hanging evenly, pull on the higher end when the curtain is in the rolled up position, until the curtain is even.
How far does the hitter have to be from the enclosure?
The hitting area can vary depending on the placement of your launch monitor and projector. In most setups, you'll be positioned approximately 8 to 10 feet away from the impact screen.
What prevents balls from going between the impact screen and side screen?
The Vanish and Parlour Series golf enclosures include front and side baffles, along with corner pieces that seal all gaps, ensuring no balls can slip through the enclosure.
What is the difference between 4:3 and 16:9 projectable ratio?
Both projection formats offer varying levels of clarity. A 16:9 projection is generally known to provide a sharper image compared to 4:3. However, overall image clarity also depends on the type and quality of the projector being used.
Can I purchase a replacement screen if mine wears over time?
Yes, you can purchase replacement screens and parts for your Golf Studio, contact our support team.
Can I install a SportScreen Golf Studio in a unique space?
Depending on how “unique” the design is, The SportScreen Golf Studio may still be able to be installed. We have options to customize units based on length and height. We also have options to purchase mounting brackets to mount The Vanish Series over surfaces that need clearance such as garage rails. The Parlour series is freestanding so offers more flexibility for moving it around when it comes to unique spaces. Contact our team of experts to find your custom fit or if you have any questions.
What is the purpose of a blackout screen?
The purpose of a Rear Impact Support Membrane or Blackout Screen are the following:
- Helps take away from impact screen wear
- Improves projection quality by keeping projection dark
- Ball bounce back is reduced
- Seam protection - prevents balls from slipping behind enclosure
- Noise reduction
*Please note that Rear Impact Support Membranes or Blackout Screens wear faster than Impact Screens as they help absorb shots and reduce Impact Screen wear.
How Forgiving are The SportScreen Golf Enclosures during mishits?
The Vanish Series and Parlour Series Golf Studios are fully enclosed and offer full ball protection on the sides, back, and top, making it one of the most forgiving enclosures available.
