Absolutely love this unit but only "complaint" or head scratcher (if you wish to even call it that) is with the driver. I do not believe any of this is indoor swing syndrome at all as I formerly had a doppler based unit I hit indoors and it was always pretty much same indoors as outdoors. I am getting a very mixed bag of shots from shape, height, speed, and data readings with my driver (Taylor Made Sim2) in comparison to my friends who have say Titleist drivers or insert other brand who doesn't have the graphite carbon back of head or multiple colors with the silver and blue in it. When hitting their drivers those problems seem to disappear for me and data and shot shows what I would expect.
Long winded way to ask if my theory holds any water, that as an optical based LM, if it perhaps struggles picking up exclusively the reflective marker for certain head styles/builds that could also be reflective? I have found that even when I take sticker off and have it on club/ball data setting that it often will still give me club data with my driver and why I am thinking there is something to it. After messing around with this last night, I found it to be much more consistent for me when I turned off club/ball data and moved it to ball only.
I am a low single digit and know my numbers feels/shapes pretty darn well. With club speeds I am seeing ranges in excess of 10 mph one swing to the next, smash factors on perfectly struck shots register as low as 1.3, and carry numbers all over the map. Perhaps though most frustrating when practicing driver is the shapes. Getting unit aligned and doing impact video for confirmation and exaggerating path or face and many times I am seeing the exact opposite. Example low hook is a high push fade, big open face slice is a low hook.
If there is something to this, any advice on what I can do to mitigate it? Lighting issue? have overhead lighting that shines down from behind me down the line toward the ball.
If this is a known issue, any updates in the works to help fix this to dial in identification of the reflective sticker? Really like capturing my club data as I practice and would like to not exclusively use ball data only for driver if I can help it.
