SkyTrak SwingBay Retractable Screen System
SkyTrak SwingBay Retractable Screen System is a premium, integrated retractable solution optimized for full-featured simulator bays where space, aesthetics, and seamless launch-monitor integration matter most. It commands a higher price but returns value through a motorized retractable screen that pairs cleanly with launch monitors and reduces wear on impact screens versus permanently tensioned installations. While cable kits and quick-connect rigs focus on structural tension, the SwingBay emphasizes operator convenience and system integration for dedicated indoor simulator rooms.

The Net Return Pro Series Tension Rod Kit
The Net Return Pro Series Tension Rod Kit is best-in-class for portability and quick temporary setups, offering telescoping tension rods and lightweight fittings ideal for multi-use spaces or traveling simulators. Its financial advantage is low upfront cost and minimal installation footprint compared with full cable-and-frame systems, although it is less suitable for the highest-velocity impact screens where permanent tension and robust anchoring are required. For users who need rapid deployment and easy storage, it complements heavier-duty options like Carl's Place or Rain or Shine without competing directly on long-term durability.

OptiShot Golf BallFlight Premium Rigging Hardware Set
OptiShot Golf BallFlight Premium Rigging Hardware Set fills a niche as a sensor- and monitor-focused rigging package that includes precision mounts, vibration isolation, and routing solutions specifically for ballflight sensors and camera-based launch systems. It is not a full structural tension system, but it provides technical advantages for integrating sensitive electronics with any tensioning approach—improving data fidelity compared with ad-hoc mounting on basic cable kits or rod systems. As a complementary purchase, it helps operators extract better launch-monitor performance from permanent, quick-connect, or retractable enclosures without adding significant structural cost.
