Golf Impact Screens
The screens Carl's Place is famous for — heavy-duty polyester, hand-sewn in the USA and rated to stop balls at 250 mph. Sold on their own in four material tiers, three finishing styles, and 29 sizes. The tier sets your image quality and how well the screen handles a lit room.
Standard White Screen
The budget white screen. A good image and solid durability for casual play in a darker room.

The sharpest white screen, with the tightest weave plus noise dampening and reduced bounce-back for a finished room.

High-Contrast Gray Screen
A premium gray screen that boosts contrast, holding the image in rooms you cannot fully darken.
