Distance problems: Garmin Range vs Home Tee Hero

I've had my R10 for about 2 weeks now and am having problems with distance, especially in HTH.  In the Garmin range my distances seem pretty good, especially on the irons, maybe a little short on the driver but maybe that's my ego too Slight smile

My problem is they seem way short throughout the bag in HTH, even from the tee box (I see there's a 10% penalty in the rough).  For instance I hit my 7i consistently 145 carry in the range, on HTH I'm seeing about 135 carry.  Driver is usually 225-250 carry in range, rarely goes over 220 and often stays under 200 in HTH.  I would think since they're both Garmin they're using the same math/estimates but maybe not?

I am set up in a garage with concrete floors, hitting mat is 2.5 inches thick, R10 is set up on the same surface height and aligned with a laser, but it's only a stand not consistent height to the ball does that matter?  I see recommendations for carpet helping the distance reads, does just one strip from the r10 to the hitting area do the trick or do I need to carpet the whole area?  Current distances are R10>8 ft>hitting area>10 ft>net w/ tarp backing (I was hitting wedges very close to going over my 7ft net so added the tarp overhang as a secondary defense to my 10ft ceilings).

anyway, a couple weeks left in the free trial but at this point I'm thinking an upgrade to probably GSPro is in my future.

  • Have exactly the same issue. 

  • Same issue here, thought it was my projector but it’s been bad for the last 6 weeks, hope they figure this out, can’t play when 4,5,6,7 iron all go 145 yards lol.

  • If you have IOS try E6 Connect. They fixed my distance issues. Tried every possible setup indoors cannot get HTH or Garmin Range to be accurate.

    1. I’m at 9500 right now to make it work but I just bought GSPRO and it’s unplayable like this, I’ve spent $100’s of dollars covering stuff, moving stuff new projector which originally I thought it was but wasn’t, I’ve run out of options.
  • My distances are way off as well. I have carpeted wooden floors.

  • There is an elevation setting in GSPro go to settings then game there is an altitude setting there. BTW love GSPro on the R10 I think it's better than TGC 2019. I find the R10 on GSPro to be very near my actual yardages. I am really enjoying the R10 GSPro. GSPro has so many ways to play like go to any of the courses and play one hole over and over at whatever distance you want. Played Augusta hole 12 yesterday. They have 100 courses and the list is growing as they have a course designer like TGC 2019 and users who are creating courses and adding them to the list.

    1. The altitude setting in GSPRO doesn’t do anything at this time as per the developers, you can change it but it won’t do anything. When they do add it as a option, you can only change altitude in the range and not courses.
  • Well then I guess the distances for me anyway are pretty spot on regardless of the altitude. 

  • I see the same problem. Driving range is pretty ok, Home Tee Hero is allways shorter, even from the tee. I only tried outdoor on the range.

  • My HTH distances are also too short as I compared today with real driving range results. 

    Garmin Golf App Drmuch closer to reality. 

    Are there any news how I can fix this? 

    Thx and cheers from Switzerland -
