Budget DIY sim questions
I am doing my first DIY build. My enclosure is 8'4" wide. ([here](https://a.co/d/0dfzF3sv)) I am using the Square Golf Home Edition launch monitor.
I will have the floor of the entire room covered in 1" foam gym tiles with turf adhered to that. Then I will have the [GoSports Elite ](https://a.co/d/05QbzHPW)5'x5' hitting mat (stance mat) cut into and recessed into that gym foam/turf. Then I will have the [SigPro Softy XL](https://a.co/d/021LHg2J) hitting strip cut into and recessed into the GoSports stance mat. My question is, how do I decide how far to offset the hitting strip? I assume the 5'x5' stance mat will be centered on the screen and then the hitting strip will be offset some amount off of that. I am a right handed player so it will be offset to the right, but my assumption is that if I had a left handed guest, i could rotate the whole 5'x5' stance mat 180 degrees so the hitting strip is offset to the opposite side. (i would have to move the launch monitor as well).
Second question: I know the Square home edition has issues with excess lighting. Does this mean a pin spot light on the hitting zone would be a bad idea? Or is that ok assuming the room is darkish and void of any sunlight?
TIA
