Will your ceiling fit a sim?

The most common pre-purchase blocker. Drag the slider to your ceiling height and get a plain answer — full driver swing, iron-only, or putting-only — plus the launch monitors, enclosures, and projectors that fit.

Your ceilingFull swing

9′108 inches

7'9'12'

Full driver swings work.

9 feet or more is the realistic minimum for full-swing setups. The driver can extend through impact without ceiling concerns for most golfers. Above 9'6" you also unlock overhead-mounted launch monitors for the cleanest install aesthetic.
