Am I doing something wrong. G80 records my driver at 245 yards carry and roll. That’s not even close. My 3 wood goes 30 yards longer than that. Any suggestions?

What can I do to fix this annoyance ?

Confirm your G80 firmware software is fully up to date using Garmin Express on your computer and ensure you are using the Radar Feature as described in the manual.

Setting your roll factor is almost always the solution to what you are describing.

Did you resolve this issue. I too am having issues with just my driver. All my other clubs up to 3 wood are just about correct.

Since it's based strictly on club speed and ball speed (not apex and spin), i'm not sure it can be fixed.

This was one of the features that sold me on this product. As I tend to have a slow club head swing the distances recorded are coming up 30-40 yards short. Frustrating

Did you try changing the roll factor settings? I found that my drives were vastly shorter than I would have expected

I just purchased this item - having same issue. 5 iron is showing like 115 or 120 yards top. should be 35 to 40 yards longer. Anyway to calibrate to correct? 5 wood showing like 160 yards. I'm wondering if I got a bad unit.

yep... just got my unit. Driver is so short it's not funny. I'm hitting a 3W off the deck further.

Anyone found a solution to this? Changing the roll factor does very little and throws out the shorter clubs like wedges...

especially if you have it on a decent size tee, try to place the device on a sleeve of balls or box that makes the device "level" with the ball. See if that changes anything
