Does the golf simulator company do its own manufacturing? The vast majority of companies marketing golf impact screens do not produce the products themselves. They are simply reselling screens made by manufacturing companies like AllSportSystems.
Avoid excessive markups by ordering directly from the manufacturer.
Does the golf sim company have a track record and reputation you can trust? With the massive influx of golf simulator retailers and third-party resellers on the internet, it has become increasingly difficult to find a golf simulator company that has been in business more than a few years.
AllSportSystems is proud of the fact that we have been in the golf simulator manufacturing business since 2005, with many thousands of satisfied customers using our golf simulator screens, bays, and packages in their homes every day. This kind of longevity does not happen by accident!
Can they customize your golf impact screen? You will not be able to customize your home golf simulator screen if you order from the typical reseller, since they are selling stock goods "off the shelf" that are already built.
However, when you work with a manufacturer such as AllSportSystems you benefit from the option of customizing your golf screen to fit your unique needs. Perhaps you need an unusually sized screen, a custom grommet pattern, the addition of pockets, etc. Such customizations are never a problem with us.
Do they have real-world technical expertise with home golf simulators? Most of the golf simulator vendors you find online are nothing more than commercial retailers, with little-or-no hands on experience specifying, building, configuring, and supporting home golf simulator installations. When you start to ask them deeper questions about aspect ratios, throw distances and their relationship to projector lumens, you will typically get incoherent canned response, exposing their lack of technical depth.
Here again, choosing a well-established company with expert technical experience in this unique market will benefit you greatly.
Will this company be here when I need support in the future? This question deserves serious consideration, since the average home golf simulator package will cost in the thousands of dollars. Do you really want to spend your money on a company that may not be here to support you a month or two, or a year or two down the line?
In summary, reputation, technical expertise, and direct manufacturing are important considerations when deciding where you will purchase your golf simulator impact and hitting screens, along with the other components needed to create your perfect home golf simulator. At AllSportSystems, we deliver on all of these considerations, and we look forward to earning your business!
