Reverting to previous software versions

Hi,

Is it possible to revert or change what software version the R10 uses?

I had been on 3.30, and while the shot shape wasn't perfect, the distances were great and it was very usable.

Given the developer notes for 3.60, I updated, but now the distances seem really low, and I've had significantly more complete misreads (eg. 45 degree shanks from normal shots) which I never had before. I had played numerous complete rounds on e6 without ever needing a forced mulligan for a total misread, but now I'm regularly having to.

Please advise if it's possible to 'choose' which version to use.

Thanks

    thanks for your feedback, I'm curious about "misreads" - are your misreads a tracking error?  The word misreads on this forum is being used to describe two things: it tracked the ball, but completely got the information wrong and/or it recorded nothing at all.

    what do you feel is the percentage of misreads (tracking error) and what do you feel is the percentage of missed reads (no info at all)?

    Sorry, I mean tracking error.

    3.3: shots definitely had a slight fade bias, but height speed and distance were all really close. Played multiple e6 sim rounds with no misreads or significant tracking errors. 8/10 very content

    3.6: was excited to test last night thinking the notes would resolve the only issues I have. But I couldn’t get a 4i above 160-170, and hit a couple of 9irons fairly solidly that read as shanks. I’ll test again tonight but it wasn’t usable for sim rounds.

    I’m pleased Garmin are releasing updates and I am happy with my R10 but this is clearly quite frustrating.

    thanks for your notes, my issue has been mainly miss reads (no info)... but this was at a driving range with other golfers in the bays next to me (and occasionally they were not).  I did have some misreads (tracking error) that were quite comical.

    I don't work for Garmin, I'm just an R10 owner, but for accuracy and consistency, I would like to suggest an alignment device since the unit is very difficult to square up to target (even 1 degree off will give one the impression of inaccuracy).

    There's another R10 owner who cleverly figured out an alignment stand and used a 3D printer to make one.  It's on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNTfaO5iFQg

    There's a link to his page on Etsy, or if you know how to do 3D printing he will email you the file.
