SIGPRO Premium - Golf Simulator Impact Screen

The Top-Performing Impact Screen in Independent Testing. Engineered to Excel Where It Matters.

The SIGPRO Premium Golf Impact Screen is Shop Indoor Golf's flagship screen, purpose-built to outperform in four critical areas: image quality, durability, bounce-back, and noise reduction. In head-to-head independent testing by MyGolfSpy, the SIGPRO Premium outperformed the industry's leading competitor across all four categories.

Built from three-layer spacer mesh fabric — two heavy-duty, tight-knit polyester surfaces sandwiching vertical spacer yarns — this is the thickest and smoothest impact screen material available in golf simulation. The result is a screen that looks better, lasts longer, bounces back less, and sounds quieter than anything else on the market.

Finished with double-stitched black vinyl edges, grommets, and a heavy-duty Velcro perimeter, the SIGPRO Premium is designed for easy DIY installation and accessory attachment. Available in 20+ sizes across four aspect ratios.

Key Benefits

✔ MyGolfSpy Independent Testing Winner
In unbiased, head-to-head testing by MyGolfSpy, the SIGPRO Premium outperformed the leading competitor in image quality, sound, bounce-back, and durability. This is third-party validation, not marketing.

✔ Three-Layer Spacer Mesh Construction
Two impact-resistant polyester surfaces sandwich vertical spacer yarns, creating a unique cushioned structure. The spacer yarns absorb impact energy, reducing bounce-back and dampening noise while extending screen life.

✔ Thickest and Smoothest Fabric Available
SIGPRO Premium is the thickest impact screen material in golf simulation. The smooth, tight-knit surface eliminates grain effect and pixelation for crystal-clear 4K projection.

✔ Reduced Bounce-Back
The interior spacer yarns absorb impact energy, resulting in significantly lower ball bounce-back. The ball drops instead of flying back at the golfer.

✔ Quieter Operation
The vertical spacer yarns act as cushioning, dampening the noise from ball strikes. Noticeably quieter than single-layer screens.

✔ Extended Lifespan
The smooth surface decreases the time the golf ball spins on impact, reducing wear and extending screen life. Tested to withstand thousands of shots at up to 250 MPH.

✔ Heavy-Duty Velcro Perimeter
Hook-side Velcro sewn into the finished edges provides flexibility to attach accessories like gap pads, blackout fabric, netting, and frame padding.

✔ 1-Year Warranty
Full 1-year warranty for residential use covers rips and tears from normal golf ball strikes. Shop Indoor Golf stands behind their product.

What Makes SIGPRO Premium Different?

Independent Testing by MyGolfSpy

MyGolfSpy subjected the SIGPRO Premium to standardized testing against the industry's leading competitor. Results:

• Image Quality: SIGPRO Premium delivered sharper, clearer visuals with minimal bleed-through
• Bounce-Back: Lower ball rebound due to spacer yarn impact absorption
• Sound: Quieter ball strikes due to cushioned three-layer construction
• Durability/Sag: Superior bursting strength and resistance to stretching

The SIGPRO Premium also underwent accelerated life testing at independent textile laboratories. Bursting strength tests confirmed it outperforms competitors in thickness, strength, and weight per unit area.

Three-Layer Construction Explained

Most impact screens are single-layer or dual-layer fabric. The SIGPRO Premium uses three distinct layers:

1. Front Layer: Heavy-duty, tight-knit impact-resistant polyester — takes the ball strike
2. Middle Layer: Vertical spacer yarns — absorbs impact energy, reduces bounce-back, dampens sound
3. Back Layer: Second heavy-duty polyester surface — provides structural support and projection surface

This construction distributes impact force across the entire screen surface rather than concentrating it at the strike point, which is what causes single-layer screens to wear out quickly.

Installation Guidelines

Mounting Your Screen

• Use 6" ball bungees (recommended for SIGPRO enclosures) or 9" bungees for more slack
• Zip ties and shock cord also work for DIY installations
• The heavy-duty Velcro perimeter allows attachment of gap pads, blackout fabric, netting, and frame padding

Rear Clearance

• Maintain 12-16" of space between the screen and any wall or surface behind it
• This allows the screen to flex on impact and absorb energy properly

CRITICAL: Memory Foam and Weighted Blankets

• If you place memory foam or weighted blankets behind the screen, you must ensure sufficient gap between them and the screen
• If these materials are touching or too close to the screen, ball strikes concentrate at the point of impact instead of distributing across the surface
• This causes rapid wear and premature screen failure — and voids your warranty
• The screen is designed to transfer impact energy evenly across the entire surface; obstructing this defeats the purpose of the three-layer construction

Screen Tension

• Do not over-tension the screen
• Some slack is required for proper impact absorption
• A properly tensioned screen should result in ball bounce-back of 1-3 feet, not flying back at the golfer

Care & Maintenance

• Use clean golf balls — dirt, grass, and marker ink transfer permanently onto the screen at impact speed
• Clean your golf balls before every session to preserve image quality
• Clean clubs regularly to prevent debris transfer
• Store in a dry, clean area when not in use

Compatibility

The SIGPRO Premium is designed to work with:

• SIGPRO Enclosures: SIG8, SIG10, SIG12 — screen sizes match enclosure dimensions
• DIY Builds: Grommets and Velcro perimeter make standalone installation easy
• Third-Party Enclosures: Compatible with any frame or truss system using bungees or shock cord

Warranty

1-Year Limited Warranty (Residential Use)

• Covers rips and tears in screen material resulting from golf ball strikes over time
• Screen must remain unaltered and used as intended
• Does not cover damage from misuse, neglect, unauthorized modifications, or improper installation
• Does not cover normal wear and tear, including fraying, fading, or surface wear from regular use
• Does not cover damage from memory foam or weighted blankets in contact with the screen

Shop Indoor Golf believes a properly constructed screen should last years without fraying, ripping, or tearing. They stand behind the SIGPRO Premium with a warranty — something many competitors don't offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the SIGPRO Premium better than other screens?
Third-party testing by MyGolfSpy showed the SIGPRO Premium outperformed the leading competitor in all four categories: image quality, sound, bounce-back, and durability. The three-layer spacer mesh construction absorbs more impact energy, resulting in less bounce-back and quieter operation. The smooth surface delivers sharper 4K projection with no grain effect.

Is this the same material as Carl's Place Premium?
No. SIGPRO Premium uses a proprietary three-layer spacer mesh fabric exclusive to Shop Indoor Golf, developed over several months with a leading global textile mill. The construction and performance characteristics are different — and in MyGolfSpy testing, SIGPRO Premium outperformed the Carl's Place Premium.

Why is there a Velcro perimeter?
Heavy-duty hook-and-loop Velcro is sewn into the finished edges so you can attach accessories like gap pads (to close the gap between screen and enclosure), blackout fabric, netting, and foam frame padding. This adds flexibility for customization without modifying the screen.

What aspect ratio should I choose?
Choose based on room width first. 16:9 and 16:10 are ideal for 4K resolution and home theater use but require significant width. 4:3 is the most popular for residential setups because it balances screen size with typical room dimensions. 1:1 works for tighter spaces or square rooms.

Can I use this without an enclosure?
Yes. The SIGPRO Premium works as a standalone screen for DIY builds. Mount it to any frame, truss, or wall-mount system using the grommets and ball bungees. The Velcro perimeter lets you attach side curtains or netting if desired.

Is the SIGPRO Premium compatible with SIGPRO enclosures?
Yes. Specific screen sizes are designed to match SIG8, SIG10, and SIG12 enclosures. You can also upgrade from a standard enclosure screen to the Premium if you want better performance.

How long does shipping take?
Ships within 10-15 business days to the lower 48 states. Free shipping included.

What if I put memory foam behind the screen?
You must maintain a gap between any material (memory foam, weighted blankets, etc.) and the screen. If these materials touch the screen, ball strikes concentrate at the point of impact instead of distributing across the surface. This causes rapid wear and voids your warranty.

How does this compare to the SIGPRO Preferred screen?
The SIGPRO Preferred is a more budget-friendly option using different material. The Premium offers superior image quality, lower bounce-back, quieter operation, and longer lifespan. If budget is the priority, Preferred works. If performance is the priority, Premium is worth the upgrade.

What about the SIGPRO Premier (Gray)?
The SIGPRO Premier uses the same three-layer construction in a gray finish for improved contrast in rooms with ambient light. If your space has windows or lighting you can't control, the Premier may deliver better image quality. In dark rooms, the white Premium is the better choice.
