TruBack™ Performance Backer
High‑Tenacity Backing Material for Golf Impact Screen Systems
TruBack™ Performance Backer is a tightly knitted, high‑tenacity white backing material used as a secondary energy‑absorbing layer behind golf impact screens. Selected from industrial applications such as grass catcher bags and archery containment systems, this material is used by TruSim Systems to reduce ball rebound, protect enclosure structures, and improve overall simulator safety in both residential and commercial installations.
Why a Backer Screen Matters
A golf impact screen is designed to receive ball contact and provide image clarity, but it is not intended to absorb all residual energy. Without a proper backer layer, excess energy transfers to walls, frames, and enclosure structures, increasing rebound, noise, and long‑term wear.
A properly selected backer screen works in tandem with the impact screen to dissipate energy gradually, creating a safer, quieter, and more controlled hitting environment.
What TruBack™ Performance Backer Is
TruBack™ Performance Backer is a tightly knitted, high‑tenacity mesh fabric engineered to withstand repeated high‑energy impacts. Unlike very open netting, this construction balances controlled flex with durability, allowing the material to absorb energy without excessive stretch or premature fatigue.

Additional technical data is available upon request.
Performance Benefits
• Reduced ball rebound
• Improved safety margins
• Lower impact noise transfer
• Protection for walls, frames, and enclosures
• Consistent performance over time
Custom Manufacturing & Finishing
TruSim Systems can cut, sew, and finish TruBack™ Performance Backer to virtually any size required. Finished backers can be produced to match specific enclosure dimensions, enabling faster installation and cleaner results for installers.
How It Is Used in Simulator Systems
TruBack™ Performance Backer is installed behind the primary impact screen as a secondary safety layer. Proper spacing between the impact screen and backer allows both materials to function together: the impact screen manages ball contact and image quality, while the backer manages residual energy.
