Software 3.9 chipping, swing path, spin rates, yardages ... ITS ALL WRONG!

I have compared the metrics of my swing as reported by a professionally installed TrackMan system, against the R10, on two different occasions now.

The R10 is just plain wrong. It all seems to start with the swing path, it reads the swing path incorrectly and seems to extrapolate all the other data based on that incorrect reading, causing incorrect spin rates, and distance... anytime the swing path lines up with what the TrackMan reports, the metrics are much closer. But generally the margin of error is well outside what they are claiming,

I would not bet my game on this device, practising based on bad info is not practising, it's just reinforcing bad habits! 

And forget about chipping less than 30'! 

Garmin you need to fix this. 

  • I totally agree... I constantly have around 10 degrees from the inside which is around 8 degrees more than trackman. Also chipping is usually double or tripple the actual distance... I see the chip going 8m tops and on home tee hero it shoots over the green and reads 20m...
