Polyester mesh – this is a meshed fabric made entirely from polyester, it’s lightweight and durable and a very golf impact screen alternative popular choice due to its relative affordability. Some manufacturers create different levels of polyester grading by layering additional layers of polyester (up to 3). The more layers, in theory, the higher the quality of the impact screen because it will be more sturdy and also allow less light to bleed through.
Nylon mesh – nylon is less commonly chosen for impact screens, probably because it’s more expensive, it weighs roughly the same as polyester, but it ought to be a little more hard-wearing. Whether it lasts long enough to justify the price differential is a good question. We have also seen some manufacturers offering a nylon and polyester mesh blend, which could be a good halfway house between the two materials.
Supertex – is a thin mesh material that offers durability and low cost. It’s the lowest cost material for impact screens that we could find and there are some distinct advantages and disadvantages to its use as we will touch on a little later in this review.
Archery Baffle is a woven mesh that is, as the name suggests, used in archery and other ballistic pursuits to stop a projectile. So you’d think it would be well suited to stopping a golf ball in a golf simulator. It does stop the golf ball very well, though the holes between the mesh fibres are bigger than those in high density polyester meshes, so more light from your image will bleed through behind the screen, as we describe below.
