R10 yardage/apex height issues

So I’ve tried everything. I feel like the yardages are ok out to an 8 iron past that my ball flight is showing so low I get no carry distance. This is a outdoor net setup. I’ve setup the unit up every which way you can and hit a scary distance from the net also.  110mph club speed on driver getting 220yrd carry? I’m a high ball hitter and 3-4 handicap. Unit is updated to 3.9 also. I sent pics to garmin and they are having their engineers look into it. Lol, any suggestions. Thinking of returning and getting a skytrak

    Did you ever solve this, as I am experiencing similar issues. I hit the ball high on the course, outdoor net setup with Garmin is telling me very low apex/ ball carry - Even short irons into a seven foot high net, I’m close to going over the top of the net, and apex reading is max 9ft?!  Wondering if I need to tilt unit forward a little??

    I just purchased my R10 and I'm having this same issue with Apex.  It is updated, I have calibrated it, and tried all sorts of other things, but it says my 7i goes no higher than 14-18 yards (42-48 feet). I have not been able to find a solution for this problem anywhere. Someone did suggest raising the back leg, reducing the tilt angle of the unit, but that had no affect for me.

    I sent mine back. Nothing I did fixed it. I really wanted it to work!

    Would be nice to know more details.

    Club speed, attack angle etc will have big impact on apex.

    Just giving some examples from my 7-iron.

    Note the average.

    Yes, something appears to be wrong.

    Just hit some shots in my garage, 

    You hit the ball better than me, with better compression. Unless You have a crazy forward shaft lean at impact, it's the launch angle that is way too low.

    For some reason I'm not able to paste a screenshot, but my average vertical launch angle is 19,4 deg, and average apex 57 ft.

    This is with club speed at 80 and ball speed 94 (so less compression and smash as You have).

    I have done nothing special in my garage. It's all concrete and nothing covered yet.

    R10 sits 2 m behind the ball and approx 3 m to impact screen.

    I've not raised the unit, and not tilted in any way, but still have good numbers.

    I assume You have calibrated? And I believe having the unit almost 7 feet behind the ball helps.

    Btw: Actual launch angle You can easily verify Yourself. See where the ball hits the net/screen and measure the height above ground.

    Divide this by the distance from ball to net/screen, and the actual launch angle is arctan this value.

    Formula: tan @ = height / distance where @ is the launch angle.
