Keystone Correction Explained: Get a Perfect Image in Your Golf Sim

October 29, 2025

When designing a golf simulator setup, achieving the perfect image fit on your impact screen is key to creating an immersive experience. At The SportScreen, we build our golf enclosures with optimal aspect ratios in mind, ensuring your projected image fills the screen beautifully — without distortion or wasted space.

Choosing the Right Enclosure for Your Aspect Ratio

Your projector’s aspect ratio determines how your image will appear on the screen:

  • 4:3 Aspect Ratio: Choose the Vanish 11, Vanish 13H, Parlour 11, or Parlour 13H models.
  • 16:9 Aspect Ratio: Choose the Vanish 16H or Parlour 16H for a widescreen, cinematic experience.

Selecting an enclosure that matches your projector’s native aspect ratio helps maintain a crisp, full-frame image that enhances both realism and performance tracking.

When to Use Keystone or Corner Correction

If you’re setting up a custom enclosure or using a Vanish 16 and your projector doesn’t perfectly match the screen dimensions, corner correction (also known as keystone correction) comes into play.

 

Keystone correction is a powerful tool that fixes image distortion caused when a projector isn’t placed perfectly perpendicular to the screen. By adjusting the corners of your projected image, it creates a clean, rectangular display that fills your impact screen edge-to-edge — even when the projector must be angled or offset.

 

This feature is especially useful in home golf simulator setups where ceiling height, room depth, or mounting restrictions limit ideal projector placement.

 

Pro Tip: Check with Your Projector Manufacturer

At The SportScreen, our enclosures are compatible with virtually all projectors. We recommend consulting your projector manufacturer before purchase to ensure the mounting, image quality, and spacing are properly configured and to discuss your options for corner correction if needed. Each projector brand uses slightly different steps for horizontal and vertical keystone correction. Always refer to your projector manufacturer’s instructions to make precise adjustments and achieve the best possible fit.
