Golf Simulator Blackout Screen

Golf Simulator Blackout Screen Backing

The blackout screen is an opaque backing that attaches directly to the back of your white golf impact screen. It is one of the simplest ways to get a brighter, more solid picture from the projector you already have.

Why a white impact screen needs a backing

An impact screen has to absorb full-swing golf shots, and some of the projector light that reaches it passes straight through. That light is lost to the wall behind the enclosure, and if that wall is lit, its light shows through the screen too. Either way the image looks dimmer and flatter than it should. Hanging the opaque blackout layer directly behind the screen, with as little space between the two as possible, stops the bleed-through and keeps more light on the screen face.

When to add one

The blackout backing is made for enclosures set up in rooms with ambient light: garages, basements with windows, bonus rooms and commercial bays. If the light problem is in front of the screen rather than behind it, from windows or overhead lights facing the screen, the gray SIGPRO™ Premier impact screen tackles that from the face of the screen. Many setups use both approaches.

Built like our screens

Each blackout screen is cut and sewn by Shop Indoor Golf from the same black surround fabric we use on our enclosures, and finished with double-stitched black vinyl edges, grommets around the perimeter and a hook-and-loop strip sewn in. It hangs behind your impact screen using the same ball bungees that hold the screen, with the hook-and-loop helping keep the two layers together.

Sizes

The blackout screen comes in the same 30 sizes as our impact screens, across 1:1, 4:3, 16:10 and 16:9 aspect ratios: the sizes for our SIG8, SIG10 and SIG12 enclosures, DIY build sizes and commercial enclosure sizes. Order the size that matches your golf impact screen. Have a custom-size screen? Order a custom blackout screen made to match it.

A backing, not a hitting surface

The blackout screen always hangs behind an impact screen. Never hit balls directly into it. It pairs with our SIGPRO™ Premium impact screen and our other white screens.

Warranty

The blackout screen carries the same 1-year SIG/SIGPRO limited warranty as our impact screens, against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, with optional extended coverage of up to 5 years at checkout.
