This is the method used to roll the clubrack to its stored position. The hitting mat, simulator and 2x4 ball catcher boards are positioned next to mat and are quite safe to drive vehicle over and park in the garage.

Deluxe Option Includes Video Hitting Screen and Projector
Optishot software $400. The Dancin Dogg site has a number of options you can use that are professional made to work with the system. I would recommend visiting their site (if money is not a problem) instead of the cheaper options I used. Purchase Tee Kit to use with your tees recommend brush type tees stay in special tee holder longer.
OptiShot Software, swing pad and Cable $400
All Sports Systems offers a complete package of everything you need excluding notebook computer for about $2,000. Not including Almost Golf Balls.

Projector and Screen
I tried a screen and projector to enlarge the image, but my eyesight is not that good to see the stats projected to a 5’ image. I take a step to view the data on the 17” computer display which I can see clearly.

Golf Club Rack Multi View Drawing
You should be able to copy the drawing using a photo editor. You can then print it to fit on a regular 8x11 printer page. The club rack uses a scale of 1=12 and the dimensions and details are easy to read.
Any problems with the above procedure just contact me and I will email you the Club Rack Drawing.jpg or send you a copy through snail mail.
