Short-throw projectors for simulators

Projectors ranked by shortest throw ratio, with the distance for a 10.5 × 8 ft screen.

How this list works

A shorter throw lets the projector sit close to the screen and out of the golfer's shadow. 30 products in our catalog meet the rule; the top 8 are shown.
