Ernest Sports ES Eagle Sim: Room Size, Specs & 5-Year Cost

Room size: will the Ernest Sports ES Eagle Sim fit?

The Ernest Sports ES Eagle Sim sits on the ceiling, in front of the hitting position. Overhead units read the ball from above, so the floor stays clear; the ceiling height and the mounting distance from the tee are the critical figures.

Dimension	What to plan for	How it's worked out
Depth, screen to back wall	13.5 ft minimum · 15.5 ft comfortable	1 ft screen gap + 8–10 ft ball to screen + 4.5 ft behind the ball for the backswing
Width, right-handed only	10 ft minimum · 12 ft comfortable	Swing arc on both sides of the golfer
Width, left- and right-handed	12 ft minimum	Centered hitting area so either stance fits
Ceiling at the unit	9 ft	Seller-stated mounting height

Ceiling height for a full driver swing

Golfer height	Estimated ceiling needed	Working
5′6″	8′ 10″	66 in + 45.5 in × sin 45° + 1.5 in mat + 6 in margin
5′10″	9′ 2″	70 in + 45.5 in × sin 45° + 1.5 in mat + 6 in margin
6′2″	9′ 6″	74 in + 45.5 in × sin 45° + 1.5 in mat + 6 in margin
6′5″	9′ 9″	77 in + 45.5 in × sin 45° + 1.5 in mat + 6 in margin

FOREference calculationEstimated ceiling = golfer height + driver length × sin 45° + mat height + a safety margin. Steep, upright swings need more; test with a practice swing before you buy. Run your own numbers.
