Garmin R50 - club data and distances.

I got my R50 yesterday and my club head speed seems to be about 20 mph off with each club? Is there any way of calibrating the device or is it possible it’s picking up interference of some kind. Can’t get my 8 iron to go more than 100 yards for example. Normally a 140/45 club on track man or GC quad.

Prior to assuming the R50 is not working correctly, there are many factors to consider with the device setup, environment, and combination of metrics recorded from the shot.

If you are concerned with any…

I just started using my garmin r50, and I'm having similar issues with my distances. It seems that the device is under calculating the distance on all my clubs.

Yea mine is 15 percent off or more I average 318 on my gps 18 birdies. Also hit on a gcquad club speed 130. This 110 max. I hit my pw 150-160 this 130 and that if I really give her the nuts. The weekly tournament is even worse I have the elevation jacked all the way up and it’s still way off. I know it’s a simple calculation fix. They definitely need to get on it.

Is there anyway you can post a video of GCQuad numbers then the R50 numbers?

Joe Lagowski did this and his numbers pretty much matched very closely.

Looking for video of major discrepancies between quad or Trackman 4 but nothing has popped up.

Purchased two days ago and distances are very short. Normal PW is 130-135 yds and cannot get it over 105 yds on the R50. 6i carry distance should be approximately 180 yds but will not exceed 135 yds on this unit. Have tried additional lighting, adjusting the distance to the net, and marking the golf ball... nothing is working. I really want this to work...help please!
