4 Club Difference in Distance

Hello All,

This is day 2 of owning a brand new R10. After months of anticipation and high hopes, I'm pretty disappointed.

All of my clubs are 20-60 yards short. I am outdoors hitting into a large net. I've moved the unit forward, back, up, down, tilted down, and titled up (Re-Calibrating after each significant change). I've also moved the hitting mat, removed the hitting mat, and finally moved the net without any success. I updated to 4.0 via Garmin Express but made no difference. I tried Home Tee Hero and the E6 driving range as well but the inaccurate readings continued.

What else can be done on my end? I really want to make this work and believe it is user error but as the hours of experimentation/frustration go by, I'm thinking it's a dud unit.

I understand taking it to the range is an option but I bought it for the backyard so that seems rather futile.

Appreciate any and all suggestions!

Yeah, it's very disappointing. For wot it's worth I understand that e6 can b improved by changing the elevation to something like 4000-6000m above sea level. Think some have even set it to 10,000. I don't have iOS so can't try it.

Think I'll join the FB group, altho it's prob policed by Garmin and any negative (ie truthful) comments removed.

More expense on top of a £500+ unit. It's Ridiculous that customers are resigned to trial and error to fix net play.

Pretty much how I'm feeling. As a launch monitor, we shouldn't have to tweak the settings to get accurate readings. The whole point is to give us data so we can use it on the course. Not the other way around!

I agree but for the price we don’t have many other options other than optishot and Flightscope Mevo?

Yeah, I seriously considered the flightscope mevo (standard version) and it doesn't seem to require any particular distance to the net. I opted for the R10 because of the attraction to HTH. Hmmmm ....

I to am in the same boat. Received mine today, updated to version 4.0. Still way off. My son came over who is a +2 handicap and knows his yardages and he is way low also. Tried E6 and Awesome Golf. Same thing. Spent a lot of money getting backyard set up properly. Spornia net, Real feel mat, leveled everything, distances are all in range and have moved unit and net trying to get it better. Nothing. Not sure what to do now!

Change elevation in e6. I bought three nets. All same issue. I may sell it and go for Mevo. Or buy an impact screen but again mor money wasted and who knows if that will work

Not sure how it compares, but I already had a nylon/silk-like white projector screen for projecting movies etc onto the wall. I hung it over my net and hit into it ... Made zero difference. TBH if I don't keep my R10 I'll probably just go without, as shot direction and HTH were the 2 things that convinced me to buy a unit for use with my net.

Damn. There goes that idea. I took my r10 to a public sim and it worked almost bang on to Uneekor eyeXO distances. It used TGC 2019.
