R10 distances seem off.

This is interesting to me to see how many people are having issues. I use indoor and my indoor outdoor numbers are virtually identical. When they were off, what I generally found was it was an alignment issue because shot shape/direction would always remain same despite hitting test hooks or slices. I have since created a sim bay in my garage since getting this unit and what I would recommend for all indoor users is to pull out some steel tape from screen to R10 and mark off your line and hitting zone area. and then mark the garmin tripod. Take some time to do it right and it will save you many headaches dialing in future.

Also recommend ordering some reflector tape and a hole punch and putting dots on like the Mevo +. Save you $$$ making the reflector dots yourself. I don't know for certain if the technology is the same for how both units read, but coincidently my shot shapes became much more accurate once I started using the dots. 

I read this and just LOL'd

I'm happy for you.    Had my unit since August been through 50 pages of this thread since inception.  You pop in here to say "works for me".... No offense but that's like slapping someone in the face that is having issues.  

You don't think after 50 pages we know about all the alignment, levelling, concrete, interference... its all hogwash.    My friend thought mine was bad... and I shared this already several pages earlier here... His arrived guess what SAME problems... sucks in net, great at range.

Only way mine works is at the range.... PERIOD.   Tried everything the numbers suck in a garage into a net.

PS.  The metal dots do jack.  I had a sheet leftover from my past Mevo purchase and didn't change a thing.   More snake oil.

I feel like we're going to find out there's some specific brand of LED lightbulb or something that's giving off some otherwise innocuous signal that's messing with the R10.

If you input the same parameters of the Garmin R10 of both those shots into the Flightscope trajectory optimizer it would give you similar total numbers. The Garmin gives you a few yards more of carry than the Flightscope (6yds more at sea level and 8 yds more at 10,000 ft). TOTAL DISTANCE IS THE SAME in a hard surface type at sea level and the R10 gives you 3 more total yds at 10,000ft. So we know the calculations are correct, the question here is if those numbers that the R10 captured from your swings are the real numbers.

I'd totally expect that.  My first experience with launch monitors was the Flightscope Mevo.   Thought first one was broken, second one exactly the same very short distances but at the range it was great just like the R10.   I really believe it's the doppler system's that just dont like indoors and the camera based units are much more suited for that environment, unfortunately that is a very expensive world on that front.   Distance aside, for a double digit handicapper like myself it has been improving my game and that is the most important role the R10 plays.   If distance gets worked out indoors it will be a grand slam.   I bought mine for indoor use only so the fact it worked great in my testing at the range defeats the use case.   Eventually distance will become a problem when my swing is more reliable on a regular basis and as is "right now" scores do get impacted as great strikes that go straight at the green fall short and that is a stroke per hole when that happens.   I play 2-3 clubs longer sometimes in my environment just to get around the situation.   It sucks to use a 6I to get 8I distance but it is what it is.

Does anyone have faith in the distance issue being fixed? Update 3.7 didn't seem to work for me (indoors into net). Strongly considering giving up on the R10 before I hurt myself trying to get the distance I know I should be getting (at least 2 clubs short on all clubs).  

I know people don't like it when others come on here and say things are working, but it works pretty well for me now. Sometimes I get some crazy results (like 112 yard carry and 200 yard total with my 5 iron), but I can tell when I hit a great shot just by the feel and it normally shows as such. I am 6-7 ft from the R10 and 8ft to the net.  bought a 3d printed stand off of etsy and use a laser level to ensure I am hitting the ball in line. The only thing I notice every time is that I am hitting the ball like 50R. That isn't the case on the course, but since I am left handed and hitting from the left side of the mat and aiming for the center of the net, it likely is correct for what I am doing.

Same here using a net, it's next to useless using a net. Worked well on the range. I bought it for use with a net so will look to return if it's not sorted with the next update. The calibration option was available but made zero difference for me
