Straight answers.

Yes, if it folds. The StowGolf bay plays at about 10 feet wide, 7 feet 6 inches tall, and 5 feet deep, then folds flat against the wall. The car goes back in every night. Use the fit tool on the details page to check your exact space in ten seconds.

The July prototype folded in 45 seconds on camera, first attempt, one person, no tools. Two crossbeams lift out and the frames nest flat against the wall with the screen still standing. The factory sample gets its own timed fold cycles on camera, and the median goes on this page when it is measured.

About 20 inches on the factory sample as shipped, measured on October 11. The production base plates get a U-slot so the two frames nest closer, to about 12 inches. The screen stays standing in both cases.

No. StowGolf is fully freestanding. No bolts in the studs, no ceiling mount, no landlord conversation. It stands where you put it and leaves no trace when it's gone.

The July prototype took real swings daily, including driver, with positive locks, not tent poles and velcro. The factory sample gets its own strike test on camera and the result is posted either way. Every demonstration of the bay taking ball impact is real footage.

The impact screen hangs on elastic ball bungees at every grommet and floats, absorbing the strike instead of trampolining it back. Rigid ties are the documented bounce-back cause, so we never use them. Follow the recommended tee distance like any screen. We are documenting impact testing as the founding builds come together.

No. The screen hanging in every factory-sample photo and clip is my own Carl's screen, used as the bridge while the production screen is in test. The production screen gets 500 strikes on camera before I commit to it, and the footage posts either way.

The sample came without it. Some of the concept renders still show lower netting; the photos are the truth. Mishit testing on the sample decides whether production gets it back, and the clips post either way.

The frame stands 7 feet 6 inches to the screen top, so even an 8 foot ceiling fits the bay itself. What matters just as much is your swing: if you can swing a driver in the space today, the bay fits around it. A 9 foot ceiling gives a driver swing more headroom. The fit tool checks both.

The complete enclosure: frames, crossbeams, the three-panel shell, and the impact screen, at one price. No separate frame purchase, no parts list to assemble from three vendors. You supply the launch monitor, projector, and hitting mat.

The enclosure works with any launch monitor and any projector. StowGolf is the enclosure and screen, and you bring the tech you own or prefer. What changes is the room you need. A behind-the-ball radar such as the Rapsodo MLM2PRO sits 6.5 to 8.5 feet behind the ball with 8 feet from ball to screen, a little more than 14 feet in total by Rapsodo's own numbers, so you stand outside the 5 foot deep bay to hit. Camera units that sit beside the ball need less depth. Our buyer's guide routes you to a setup that fits your room in three questions, with prices that include the yearly subscriptions.

Yes. It relocates like furniture, not construction. New house, new garage, spare room this winter: fold it, move it, stand it back up. That also means it ships in cartons by parcel carrier, not on a pallet.

Mounted retractables bolt to your wall or ceiling and stay where you installed them. StowGolf touches nothing. It folds flat, moves between rooms or houses, and the screen stays standing when the bay is stowed, so the same screen runs movie night. Renters can own one.

One-year limited warranty on the whole kit against defects in materials and workmanship, from delivery. Screen wear and ball marks are normal use, not defects. Returns within 30 days, no restocking fee. The $100 reservation is refundable any time before your unit ships. Every part is sold separately for as long as StowGolf exists, so a torn panel or a bent crossbar is a part, not a new kit.

Partly, yes, and we say so. The V1 stands start from proven pipe-and-drape hardware because it's the right freestanding base: field proven, stock sizes, no custom tooling, nothing drilled into your house. What you can't buy as a pole kit is the system built on it. A floating screen on elastic bungees at every grommet, decoupled from the frame, which is the documented fix for bounce-back. Fold geometry with witness-marked set points, so it folds in one motion and stands back up square. Cut-and-sew shell panels engineered to the frame. Theater Mode, where the screen stays standing when the bay folds. And one complete kit with a published spec sheet, support, and a person behind it. A $190 pole kit is poles. This is a bay.

Stock lands in Tempe around early January if the order for the first 25 goes in on schedule. Reservation holders get the dated build schedule first, before it's public. Your slot number is your place in the build order, and your $100 stays refundable the whole time: if the window we announce doesn't work for you, one email gets it back.

The waitlist is the door: free, for build updates and first look at the scorecard and the schedule. The Founders Reservation is the seat: $100, refundable, one of 25 numbered build slots at the founders price of $2,295 (list $2,495), with your $100 credited toward the final invoice. Slot number is build order. The first 25 units get built and shipped in reservation sequence, with a direct line to the person building them. At unit 26, the price returns to list. If you just want to watch, the list is enough. If you want a unit from the first batch, the slot is the only way to hold one.

Reply to your reservation confirmation email, or email hello@stowgolf.com, and we refund the full $100 to your original card. No restocking fee, no forms, no store credit. Card refunds typically post in 5 to 10 business days, which is the card network, not us sitting on it. Refundable anytime before your build ships.

Brett Martin, the person building it in Tempe, Arizona. StowGolf is one founder, one factory sample in a garage, and a Stripe checkout for the $100 hold. Every clip on the site is unedited footage of our own units, and you can come see it fold in person.
