Ultra-short-throw 4K laser projectors popular for bright, cinema-like images that some builders adapt to golf impact screens.
AWOL Vision specializes in ultra-short-throw (UST) laser projectors aimed at home theater. Golf builders sometimes specify UST units when floor or cabinet placement inches from the screen is preferable to a ceiling short-throw mount.
Room planning still needs careful throw, screen material, and ambient light checks — but AWOL is a recognized UST brand in premium multi-use media and sim rooms.

Practical guide
Projector choice is throw distance + brightness + resolution. Get those three right for AWOL Vision before chasing brand extras.
Short-throw and ultra-short-throw models exist because sim rooms are shallow. Measure tee-to-screen and mounting options, then confirm AWOL Vision can fill your screen without the golfer blocking the image. Ceiling mounts need solid framing; UST shelves need a stable landing zone.
Basements are easier than garages with windows. Higher lumens help when ambient light creeps in, but gain and screen color matter too. Match AWOL Vision brightness to how dark you can keep the bay during play.
Your sim PC must drive the resolution and refresh you want. Plan HDMI/USB-C runs, latent-friendly settings, and whether AWOL Vision will be the only display or share a switch with a TV. Laggy menus kill the “just hit balls” habit.
