EliteCore Athletics — Golf Simulator Guide

Everything you need to
build a bay that plays
like the real thing.

A straight-talking walkthrough of space, equipment, and full package builds — pulled straight from what we actually stock, at every budget from garage-casual to tour-studio.

01 — Room & Space

What your room needs to work

Before you spend a dollar on gear, measure the room. Ceiling height and swing depth are the two things that make or break a build — everything else can be adjusted around them.

WIDTH — 12–15 ft DEPTH — 14–16 ft
HITTING MAT
CEILING — 9.5–11+ ft
9.5 ft
Minimum ceiling
Enough for a full driver swing without clipping the enclosure top rail. Taller golfers or steep swing planes should plan for 10.5–11+ ft.
10–12 ft
Room width
Covers most enclosure footprints (10' bays up to 13' wide units) plus a few inches of clearance on each side.
14–16 ft
Hitting-to-screen depth
Gives a comfortable stance-to-screen distance for most launch monitors, plus room to walk around the mat and check your line.
220V/110V
Power & connectivity
A dedicated outlet near the projector/PC location and solid Wi-Fi (or a hardwired run) keeps simulator software from lagging mid-round.
02 — Equipment

The four things every bay is built from

Launch monitor, enclosure, projector, and the mat you stand on. Below is how our own lineup breaks down by budget and use case.

A

Launch Monitors & Simulators

Entry
Bushnell LPi Circle B

The lowest barrier to entry into real ball-flight data. Great first launch monitor for a casual bay or a kids' practice setup.

Value
SkyTrak ST MAX

The workhorse of home simulation — photometric-plus-radar accuracy at a price that doesn't require a studio-sized budget. Comes bundled with enclosure and screen in our Studio Packages.

View product →
Performance
Uneekor EYE XR / EYE XO

Overhead camera-based tracking with genuine club data, not just estimated. The EYE XR covers ball flight; the EYE XO adds full club-path and face data for players who actually want to fix their swing, not just see where the ball went.

Studio
Uneekor EYE XO2 · FlightScope X3C · SimBooth IDRA II

Top of what we carry. The EYE XO2 is Uneekor's current flagship overhead unit; the FlightScope X3C brings full outdoor-grade tracking radar indoors; the IDRA II is a strong dual-camera alternative in the same tier. Any of these is a legitimate coaching or fitting-bay centerpiece.

B

Enclosures & Impact Screens

All-in-one
SkyTrak Studio Packages

Enclosure, impact screen, and SkyTrak ST MAX bundled as one SKU — Standard, Premium, and Ultimate tiers. The simplest way to go from empty room to hitting balls with one purchase.

Standalone
SimBooth 1 — Standard Wall & Half Wall

A step up in build quality and screen size for pairing with a standalone launch monitor of your choice. Half Wall trims the footprint slightly for tighter rooms.

View product →
Full studio
SimBooth Kit 1 & Kit 2

Our largest, most complete enclosure kits — built for a dedicated room rather than a shared garage bay. Kit 2 steps up frame and screen spec further still.

C

Projectors

Compact
BenQ AH500ST

1080p short-throw laser built for tight garages and lower ceilings. The easy default for a Base build.

View product →
Sweet spot
BenQ AH700ST

The 1080p model most bays actually need — strong brightness for rooms with ambient light, without paying for 4K you won't notice on an 8–10 ft screen.

View product →
4K
BenQ AK700ST

True 4K resolution with Auto Screen Fit — our best-selling 4K model for golfers who also use the bay as a home theater.

View product →
Flagship
BenQ LK936ST

The top of the BenQ golf lineup — 4K, over 5,000 lumens, and lens-shift alignment. Built for large screens and rooms that won't ever get fully dark.

Worth adding to any bay

Extras
Big Moss putting greens · The Net Return golf nets · Motocaddy / 14 STX / Koppla electric caddies

A putting green rounds out the indoor practice picture, a Net Return gives you a second hitting station without a screen, and an electric caddy gets the same golfer out on the course between simulator sessions.

03 — Complete Packages

Three ways to build the whole bay

Launch monitor, enclosure/screen, and projector, priced together. Component prices reflect current listed pricing and are worth confirming at checkout, since sales and stock shift.

Base — The Garage Bay

Weekend Golfer

~$6,494estimated build total
Fits a single-car garage or basement corner. Enough accuracy to actually improve your game, none of the extras you don't need yet.
Mid — The Performance Studio

Serious Practice

~$15,793estimated build total
Real club-and-face data, a larger dedicated enclosure, and enough projector brightness to play in a lit room. Built for someone practicing several times a week.
Top — The Tour Studio

Full Studio Build

~$29,393estimated build total
Flagship data accuracy, our largest enclosure kit, and the brightest 4K image in the lineup. This is a dedicated room, not a shared garage corner — built for coaches, fitters, or golfers who want zero compromises.

Every package here can be mixed and matched — swap in a different monitor, step up an enclosure size, or add a putting green or electric caddy. Confirm current pricing and stock on each product page before publishing final numbers.
