Room size: will the ProTee VX fit?
The ProTee VX 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 | 16 ft minimum · 16 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 | 9–10 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.
Seller or manufacturer claimSeller-stated space requirement: 16 ft depth.
Practical noteMounting position stated by the seller: 3 ft 7 in in front of the ball at a 10 ft ceiling; 3 ft 3 in at 9 ft.
