How Much Room Does an Uneekor EYE XO Need Indoors?

Published · Updated

For an EYE XO room, start with Uneekor's guidance of 13 feet of width and 12 feet from tee to screen, plus space behind the tee for the swing and behind the screen for deflection. The overhead unit mounts 9 to 10 feet above the hitting area. Taller golfers may need more width and ceiling clearance.

What the ceiling mount does and doesn't solve

With the EYE XO up on the ceiling, the floor around the golfer stays clear. That helps in a room where a rear-mounted radar unit would eat too much depth.

It won't rescue a room that's simply too small. You still need width for a normal driver swing, depth for the screen and the golfer, and a ceiling high enough for the mount.

Width for the golfer

Uneekor's space guide, illustrated with an EYE XO, calls for 13 feet wall to wall for driver swings and at least 15 feet for golfers 6 feet or taller.

Treat these as a starting point. A golfer with a long or upright driver swing can need more room than any product page lists.

12 feet to the screen, or 10 if you must

The space guide recommends at least 12 feet from tee to screen for safety. It says 10 feet may suffice if needed, with a bounceback warning. The EYE XO manual's layout diagram shows 9 to 10 feet; that diagram shouldn't be read as a guarantee that a short screen distance is safe.

That distance starts at the face of the screen. The impact-screen maker will want its own gap behind the screen as well, so add that before you call the room deep enough.

Mounting height

Uneekor's mounting-height guidance specifies 9 to 10 feet, measured from the top of the hitting area to the bottom of the mounting bracket. The EYE XO manual places the device 3 feet 6 inches in front of the tee. Measure that horizontal offset from the front center of the device, not the bracket.

Measure from the finished mat or platform. A two-inch platform raises the ball by two inches and reduces the ball-to-bracket height by the same amount if the mount stays in place.

Settle the ceiling plan early

The EYE XO manual shows separate power and a LAN cable to the computer. Plan both routes before the ceiling is closed up. Have a qualified installer confirm that the ceiling and fastening method can support the mount, and get a licensed electrician to add any new outlet.

Garage-door hardware, lights, ducts, beams, and storage lifts all want the same stretch of ceiling. If the room only works with the launch monitor moved off Uneekor's mounting position, sort that out before you buy the rest of the simulator.
