- Shadow-Free: The included ceiling mount keeps the projector overhead, ensuring your shadow never interferes with your aim.
Critical Space Requirements
Because the R10 is radar-based, it requires specific depth to track ball flight accurately:
- Total Room Depth: Minimum 15 feet (18-21 feet recommended for best results).
- Placement: R10 must sit 6–8 feet behind the ball.
- Tee-to-Screen: At least 8 feet (10–12 feet recommended) of ball flight is required for radar capture.
- Height/Width: Size varies by enclosure; ensure you have enough space for a full, unobstructed driver swing.
