R10 distances seem off.

I have been using the R10 for a couple days now and my distances seems way off. Seems very club is approx 20yards short from the range? Is there anything that needs to be done with calibration?

I'm a new owner couple days. Every club is ridiculously short. On real course I bomb 250 on bad hits....I struggle to get 180yds reading. All the irons seem like they are read like an 8I. Can't get…

Similiar problem for me, been using for a couple of days and all clubs are only recording 2/3 distance, checked the setup with a tape measure and spirit level and still the same problem. I have tried inside and outside and have the same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Same here - on most of my shots on the R10 I am 1-2 clubs short compared to my real golf distances. I believe we are many experiencing this - do we have anyone from Garmin here who can report at ticket on this to the developer team?

I'm having the same issues, if not worse. Driver normally goes 225. R10 reading 140. 7 iron is giving me my 9 iron or pitching wedge distances. I updated the software on unit today when I opened it before using. So it's on the latest firmware. Super disappointed. Going to be returning if they don't have a fix here quick.

Agree with all of these! A lot of hopes for this but agree, 20-30 yards short with every club. Also shot shape is a little off as well. Please release an update Garmin. Your better than this.

Not seeing distance off at all. Pretty accurate. I am definitely seeing club head speed off. Normally 5-8 mph slow based on ball speed and distanceZ

what’s your setup. I am inside, using an impact screen. 6’ from my hitting mat. 8’ from my screen. Spot lighting.
pw seems pretty accurate. 7 iron is short.

Using is outside on a range and while playing the course. Distances are pretty accurate, just the club speed is low. Normally carry driver 275-285 and that is what the unit reads. Total is pretty accurate as well. I hit a 6i 200 and the unit is really close.

My setup is across a 3 car garage 9-10 feet from matt to net, and about 8ft behind matt is the R10. Everything short by long shot. Longest driver so far was 205 yds when I literally smash my driver, best club in bag. I admit that I am not a good iron player so I am taking that with a grain of salt. The 3W registers hits well past my driver which makes no sense when I'm hitting driver in sweet spot at 95MPH and still registering 175yd carries etc. I will try at the driving range and see if the same issues follow.
