The Net Return Simulator Series Bay vs GolfBays SimBox

Both are tool-free aluminum golf bays that need a launch monitor, projector and mat bought separately. The Net Return Simulator Series Bay is the more proven pick: 4.9 out of 5 from 118 ratings, a floating HD screen that absorbs sound and softens rebound, and a shallow 3'6" frame that sits 6" from a wall. The GolfBays SimBox offers more size options, three screen tiers, black velvet surround and a wider list of supported launch monitors, but it has little public owner feedback. Buy The Net Return for a tight room and a track record; buy the SimBox for a bigger footprint and screen choice.

• Choose The Net Return Simulator Series Bay if your room is tight, you want a shallow wall-hugging frame and a screen that keeps ball rebound and noise down, and you value a long record of owner ratings.
• Choose the GolfBays SimBox if you have a larger space, want seven size options and a choice of LITE, Close-Knit Baffle or PRO screens, and plan to pair it with a specific launch monitor.
