R50 shots going short and always left, tested against 3 other monitors and they all said that I was hitting my shots straight, but the R50 always goes 20 yards left, and 20 yards short even with a PW, Abad unit or something wrong with the working out?

I set up the R50 along side the R10, Rapsodo and mevo+, the results are worrying.

All 3 of the other monitors were within 2 yards for distance, and left to right dispersion, even when tried with Awesome golf.

But according to the R50, I'm hitting my PW 20 yards short compared to the other 3, and with Driver 40 yard's less.

I have tried altering the ball position but it doesn't change the shot shape.

This will be returned for a refund as it seems your own R10 and the cheaper Rapsodo and Mevo+ all seem to be correct and the R50 miles off.

What is going on with this unit, the other 3 can't be wrong as they distances match my shots on the course.

I’m having same issue, just received my R50 two days ago. PW is 15-20 yards short left. The price I paid for this unit has me concerned I should stick with my Mevo as it’s 99% accurate. What can be done?

Were you able to get your unit adjusted or issue resolved by Garmin? My unit is brand new and having the exact same issue with left and shirt.

The shop took back the unit and reset everything, the left and right is better now but the distance is still down a little bit but im now having issues with it missing 25% of shots, i had it set up with my r10 and that never missed a shot in 100 shots but the r50 missed 24 shots, I don't know what is going on to be honest
