SkyTrak Metal Protective Case
To protect your investment in the SkyTrak SIG10 Golf Simulator, SkyTrak provides an authorized protective metal to protect the device from light drops, scratches, and bumps.
The protective case is manufactured from 13-gauge laser cut steel that provides easy access to the power button, enables you to view the LEDs through the case, adjustable legs for leveling or raising SkyTrak.
You can continue charging your SkyTrak SIG10 from the wall charger while it is tucked into the protective metal case.
SIG10 Golf Simulator Enclosure
SIG10 Golf Simulator is housed in a powder-coated steel frame that can be assembled in approximately 1 hour using the Quick Connectors.
An impact screen made from tight-knit polyester with a nylon surround attaches to the frame via bungees.
Side barrier netting keeps the ball within the perimeter of the simulator enclosure. The side barrier netting is kept down with sandbags, or you can tie it down to the floor.
Landing Pad Turf
To protect the floor from golf balls rebounding from the impact screen SkyTrak provides a landing pad turf. This turf is placed between the hitting mat and the impact screen.
Golf Hitting Mat
There are a few options available to choose from for the golf hitting the mat.
A Fairway Series 5 feet by 5 feet allows you to push a real tee into it. Options such as the Fiberbuilt 4 feet by 7 feet Golf Mat or the larger Fiberbuilt 4 feet by 9 feet Double Golf Mat offers sufficient room to cater for both left-handed and right-handed golfers.
More SIG10 golf mat options
- SIG PRO 4 feet by 7 feet Golf Mat is easy on the joints and has enough space to set the SkyTrak on the mat so it is level with the ball.
- SIG PRO 4 feet by 10 feet Double Golf Mat with a center hitting strip caters for both right-handed and left-handed golfers.
Projector
A good projector is essential for the optimal golfing experience. A short-throw projector with a minimum of 4000 lumens will ensure that the display is bright enough to use in a well-lit room.
Ideally, the projector should be a high resolution with 1080 pixels that connect to the launch monitor via an HDMI cable.
Examples of projectors that work well with the SkyTrak SIG10 golf simulator are
- Optoma EH412ST Short Throw Projector
- Panasonic PT-VZ580U Golf Simulator Projector
Projector Shield Enclosure
Projectors are not inexpensive and flying golf balls is a definite threat to its welfare.
An enclosure to protect the projector and neaten up the installation is well worth adding to your purchase of the SIG10.
Although you can attach the projector to the ceiling of the enclosure frame, a projector shield enclosure allows you to place the projector at floor level just before the impact screen.

To get the most out of your SIG10 golf simulator SkyTrak offers a comprehensive Play and Improve software package that you can subscribe to. Some vendors offer this as part of their packages.
This software comprises a game improvement plan and a practice session that can be used in single-player or multi-player mode.
