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?

Is the general consensus that the ball speed readings are pretty accurate indoors and out?

I ask because last night I did some testing and compared my results to the charts that are found online comparing ball speed, club speed and distance. On the shots that were not massive slices the ball speed to distance comparisons seemed pretty spot on. Sometimes the distance the R10 gave would be 10 yards short but my spin numbers were higher then the chart. This could be an R10 spin issue or just my drives are not ideal.

I watched the ball go into the woods behind the marker on my shots. So it's hard to misjudge over the sign.

What does " currently we are @ 50%" mean? It means only half of the fixes have been released?

That is likely what it means. My Garmin is plugged into my computer right now and 3.7 isn't available for me yet.
