Golf Impact screen Materials

A golf impact screen is one of the essential consumables that golf simulator business owners simply cannot overlook. Its quality directly affects the replacement cycle, and more importantly, it determines the overall immersion, durability, and image clarity of the simulator system.

A golf impact screen is not just a display surface. It must clearly project high-resolution images from the projector so that players can accurately analyze their swing and ball flight, while also providing the immersive sensation of standing on a real fairway. At the same time, it needs to withstand thousands of ball impacts with exceptional durability, minimize rebound for safety, and create a comfortable indoor golfing environment. In short, the quality of the screen can define the overall performance of the golf simulator.

However, not all screens meet these standards. Products that tear easily or have a loose weave, causing blurry projected images, can actually diminish the value of your investment.

To address these issues, our company has independently developed a high-density, heavy-weight screen fabric that delivers both durability and superior image quality. Our screen fabrics provide bright, vivid projection and outstanding tensile strength, maintaining stable quality without tearing or deformation even after repeated use. In particular, they have passed durability tests at impact speeds exceeding 200mph—well above the average swing speed of professional golfers—offering a level of reliability you can trust.

Golf Impact screen Materials – Which Material Is Right for You?

The quality of the golf impact screen is at the heart of any indoor golf simulator. More than just stopping the ball, a screen serves multiple purposes: projecting images, absorbing impact, reducing noise, and enhancing the overall ambiance of the space. There are various types of screen fabrics available on the market, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Below is a comparison of the main screen materials offered by our company.

Introducing the newly developed AdvancePRO Silver Premium and DualPRO White/Black Premium  Golf Impact Screens

In the projection and home theater market, non-white screens—such as silver and even black—have gained significant attention for their ability to enhance image quality. Golf impact screens function not only as durable impact surfaces but also as projection screens, where both surface density and color directly influence visual performance. At ScreenGolfPro, we offer three triple-layered premium screens: the traditional White, the Silver, and the versatile DualPRO White/Black.

Features:
Triple-layer structure based on high-elasticity knit fabric (3D Air Mesh)

Advantages:

  • High-density surface enables detailed and sharp image projection

  • Excellent impact absorption reduces rebound and improves safety

  • Minimizes noise upon impact, maintaining a comfortable indoor environment

  • Maintains high durability even with prolonged use

Disadvantages:

  • Higher price point

  • Natural light reflection from knit yarn

Recommended For:
Users who prioritize HD image quality or require low-noise performance in noise-sensitive environments

3D Air Mesh

Air mesh technical textile has a three-dimensional, or "sandwich," structure with a series of flexible, synthetic fibers that keep the front and back layers at a distance from each other, creating an air pocket.

Features:
Triple-layer structure based on high-elasticity knit fabric + Siliver surface

Advantages:

  • Light Silver front – High-density surface for sharp projection with silver screen technology for vivid contrast and color

  • Dark Silver back – Prevents projector beam leakage and provides dark room effect

  • Delivers the most vivid colors and highest image quality

  • Excellent impact absorption reduces rebound and enhances safety

  • Minimizes noise upon impact, ensuring a comfortable indoor environment

  • Maintains high durability even with long-term use

Disadvantages:

  • Highest price point

Recommended For:
environments with ambient light (natural or artificial) as its design optimizes image quality by minimizing light interference.

3. DualPRO Premium Triple-Layered

Features:
Triple-layer structure based on high-elasticity knit fabric + black-and-white surface

Advantages:

  • White front – High-density yarn for detailed and precise image projection

  • Black back – Prevents projector beam leakage and provides blackout effect

  • Delivers the most vivid colors and highest image quality

  • Excellent impact absorption reduces rebound and enhances safety

  • Minimizes noise upon impact, ensuring a comfortable indoor environment

  • Maintains high durability even with long-term use

Disadvantages:

  • Highest price point

Recommended For:
High-end users and dedicated simulator rooms seeking both top-tier image quality and exceptional noise reduction performance

Golf Simulator Screen DualPRO-white-black-screen-fabric

Features:
Polyester fabric with a knit construction, combining flexibility and durability

Advantages:

  • Flexible material reduces rebound and enhances safety

  • The most widely used standard fabric in the golf simulator industry

  • Competitive pricing

Disadvantages:

  • Slight loss of image sharpness due to minor light reflection inherent to knit yarn

Recommended For:
General golf practice ranges or multipurpose spaces that value both safety and cost efficiency

Tricot Material

Tricot is a type of smooth, stretchy, and run-resistant warp-knit fabric, made by looping yarns diagonally, creating a durable and comfortable material.

Features:
Polyester fabric with a twill weave, offering high resistance to impact, friction, and abrasion

Advantages:

  • Exceptional durability, highly resistant to repeated impacts

  • High-density structure blocks light effectively, delivering vivid colors

  • Substantial thickness for added strength

  • Competitive pricing

Disadvantages:

  • Smooth surface and minimal spacing between fibers may make stains more noticeable

Recommended For:
General golf practice ranges or multipurpose spaces that prioritize both durability and image quality

Twill Material

Twill is a textile weave characterized by a durable, diagonal pattern, created by offsetting weft threads over and under warp threads. The dense, tight weave makes twill very durable and abrasion-resistant.

Features:
Natural fabric with a woven structure made from a cotton–polyester blend, highly resistant to friction and abrasion

Advantages:

  • Exceptional durability, highly resistant to repeated impacts

  • High-density structure effectively blocks light, delivering vivid colors

  • Beige surface made from cotton–poly blend yarn enhances vivid color rendition and contrast in projected images and helps conceal stains

  • Competitive pricing

Disadvantages:

  • Mixed opinions among users regarding the beige surface color

Recommended For:
Users who value durability, stable impact absorption, and prefer enhanced color contrast in their screen images

Final Advice

Choosing a screen fabric should not be based solely on what is “the best,” but rather on the purpose of the space, user preferences, budget, and the overall performance of the simulator. For example, in houses or indoor environments, fabrics with enhanced noise reduction should be considered, while for business spaces or premium facilities, fabrics that deliver superior projection quality or longevity are more suitable.

By understanding the characteristics and intended use of each fabric and selecting the screen that best fits the space and equipment, you can significantly enhance not only the quality of indoor golf practice but also the overall immersion.
