HD vs 4K Golf Simulator: What Actually Matters
One of the most common questions we get at SimCaddy is:
“Should I go 4K?”
It’s a fair question. There’s a lot of attention around 4K right now, and on paper it sounds like the obvious upgrade. But when it comes to golf simulators, it’s not always that simple.
The right answer depends on your setup. In many cases, HD is still the better choice.
Why Room Geometry Matters in a Golf Simulator
Room geometry is the foundation of a great golf simulator, as width, depth, ceiling height, lighting, and alignment ultimately determine whether the experience feels immersive, safe, and capable of delivering reliable performance and real game improvement.
Grey Impact Screens: Meaningful or Marketing?
At SimCaddy, we welcome innovation in the golf simulator industry, especially when it overlaps with our background in AV systems. But we also believe in being realistic and transparent. The science behind grey screens suggests potential benefits in certain scenarios. Whether or not those benefits are noticeable to the average viewer will depend on several factors.
Choosing the Right Hitting Strip
One of the most common questions I get from customers at SimCaddy, especially those investing in a new hitting mat or upgrading their indoor setup, is:
“Which Carl’s Place hitting strip is right for me?”
Curved Impact Screens Explained: Immersion vs. Practicality
Curved impact screens are an exciting development in the golf simulator market, offering unmatched immersion and a premium aesthetic. While they come with challenges like installation complexity and potential image degradation, many users find the benefits outweigh these drawbacks. Ultimately, the decision comes down to your personal preferences, budget, and how you plan to use your simulator.

It’s not just about picking the highest resolution or the priciest model—many factors come together to create the best overall experience.
