Garage Sim Lighting

I’m using my Rapsodo MLM2Pro in my garage, hitting into an impact screen with a projector. I was standing about 10ft/13ft from the screen depending on the day and just found out it should be 8ft. Tried 8ft and didn’t like it so settled at 9ft. I typically kill the lights in the garage so I can see the screen a bit better and have an overhead pointer spotlight that points in a circle on the hitting mat around the ball. The Rapsodo is anywhere from 6ft/8ft behind the mat. I know they say 7.5ft is the sweet spot but I’m starting to think maybe 6ft is way better. My hitting mat is 2.5in thick and the Rapsodo is on Claire’s leveler at 2.5in height with the ball in the boxes and the line directly lined up on the ball.

My question is, should I actually have the lights on in the garage or at least have 1 light on over the Rapsodo? I really can’t have all the lights on or I won’t see the screen, I didn’t pay thousands on a projector, I got the 2nd tier models around $700 so it’s not quite as bright as the top of the line ones but still pretty bright and nice.

Also, like many others, my yardage isn’t accurate at all so I’m in the trial and error phase and eliminating any potential issues

I’m going to try and mess with my elevation settings, I’ve heard that helped some even though the Rapsodo detects mine correctly already but can’t hurt to try

Golf sim hitting mat thickness

My current hitting mat has a 20 MM EVA thickness which seems to be OK but I was curious if I should look into putting some more cushioning under that to help or if that overall is enough already

Every shot pulls left on my MlM2 Pro

New owner of a MLM 2 Pro and using it in my garage as a simulator. I’m having an issue with every shot pulling left. I know for certain that not every shot taken is left. I have my hitting mat 9/10fr from my impact screen and Rapsodo 7/7.5ft behind the ball. I have the Rapsodo sitting on a leveler with the laser and it’s completely level and the feet of the Rapsodo are level with the bottom of the mat. The ball is within the alignment square just fine and the white line on the alignment page is right on the ball. I also suspect that my yardage numbers are off as well.

Any suggestions?

Question about what goes behind the screen

I recently purchased a 9.8’ x 9.8’ impact screen that is 4 mm thick. I plan on putting black fabric behind the screen, but was curious if anything else needs to go there. Using AI to help find things to put my simulator together, it keeps telling me to use a tarp or moving blanket, but I don’t really see the reason why.

Any help would be appreciated!

Taylormade Qi35 Max Driver Question

I just purchased a Taylormade Qi35 Max driver which is my first new driver since my Taylormade XD 360 driver in like 2005. Quite a bit of difference for sure. I went to purchase a 10.5 degree loft and thought I was until I got the my truck and seen it was in fact a 12.5 degree loft which seems insane for a driver but maybe not so much. I went back in the store and after looking they only had a 9 degree and the 12.5 degree. I kept the 12.5 and will either hit the 12 degree or go down to 10 degree. I didn't want to get 9 degree and hit that or 11 degree, and 7 degree doesn't seem like an option really to me. Curious since these lofts and tech are new to me, if my choice really made that big of a difference or if I should have gone to try and find a 10.5 degree at another store.
