Just purchased the R50, comparing overall features against the Foresight G3Cs and a GSPro setup. Installed in my massive garage, which has space matching the virtual golf venue that opened here in town. Distance is still a problem.
First 9 holes played and the distances are well short. Driver maxes out at 200 yards when I hit up to 250. Pitching wedge carries no longer than 75 yards when it's reliably 100. This checks out at the Golf venue which uses a UNEEKOR setup and also conflicts with my own course's TrackMan setup. Both another player and I struggle to understand how a 6 iron can't go 130 yards.
Walked through Garmin's tips for lighting, level, elevation, golf ball logo position, confirming stickers (which are brand new because I just bought the unit). Software is up to date, auto updating and last checked today. It's winter here, so there's no issue with sunlight on the cameras (playing in the dark). It's not an indoor swing syndrome issue as we aren't hampered at the indoor venue.
Thinking I am returning this unit if I can't get the distance issue resolved. I didn't want to buy a PC and related mung, and generally like the overall Garmin ecosystem (multi-sport athlete), so I really hope this thing can actually work. Otherwise I think I have to bite the bullet on a PC, another monitor, and GSPro. I will look at threads that ask if GSPro software sorts this out.
