How do I change average and maximum distance of my golf clubs

It’s a pathetic solution which completely ignores the requirements of a golfer.  The sad truth is that your product life cycle sucks and is unable to listen to your customers and adapt an agile philosophy to implement the correct solutions that golfers require.  I will not be investing in garmin again as you are completely failing at producing a solution that meets the requirements of the golfer, your customer. Get a new CTO because the current one is useless. 

This feature is incredibly simple to implement (I program in Swift myself), provides no negative experience to any player, and greatly enhances the experience for many. 

Look at the 18Birdies app for example. It tracks your history with each club just as yours does, however for the player who likes to have consistent yardage numbers from range practice you can check the “use manual” distance button and input your value. It still tracks in the background if you want to swap back.

The player who doesn’t want this feature just leaves it unticked. 

Today I hit in the rough, was under a low hanging tree and gripped down on my 4 iron to punch it low only 110m to the pin. Now it’s detracted from my 4 iron which I hit 180m.

Tiny piece of code, literally no downside, many positives.

Please can you pass this up the chain for future development, please.

Claim it as your idea and be a hero, I don’t care, no one does but please help us out.

I couldn't agree more with the others. Please let us override the max. distances manually.

We are still looking at feedback from everyone on this, I will reach out to each of you to continue submitting feedback for improvements on adjusting club performance metrics. 

Hello, and yes we are definitely still looking at reports from users to look further into ways to improve the process of making adjustments to shot performance. 

We include the club type, shaft flex, and shaft length options as referenceable for each club in the list, so that information can be referenced by the user if comparing a prior club to a new one, etc. 

Averaging based on radar is a great way to train, and to obviously will give us golfers a good idea of distance for clubs within a controlled environment...however, in order for the max and average distances to be are based on actual distance hit when playing at courses. Radar capture can algorithm roll to an extent, but carry distance on the shot is going to more reliable, as roll will vary depending on the course and slope unique to the shot from the user. 

I will be reaching out directly to new posts as they come from users wanting improvements to submit the feedback, and we appreciate all of you in the forums creating the discussion around these types of features. 

I think what most people want is a way to edit the data that generates the averages for their clubs, as some data is rouge data from mis hit shots, and or devices measuring incorrectly.  for example i have a putter than i can hit 514y, and my 5i is shorter than my 8i, all because your calculation is reading every shot measured.  A simple app update that allows shot data to be edited, is a very easy upgrade.

Hi Cody, it's me again,

wow, there's been more traffic in this post in the last wekk than the rest of the 3 years

The problem of wrong averages is usually just the extreme values, however they may occurr
eg. you use CT10's and you topped the ball, this will count because the CT10 registers it to your club. If this happens to you without a CT10, you could just press back on the watch so the shot does not register to a club
or. a shot does not register and the distance adds to the prev shot
or. you forget to close the hole by entering the score and your next drive counts toward the prev hole
or. the above may cause those 400m putts

I could go on an on with examples (I know golfers are great, but in the end they are also only human)

However, the better the golfer, the closer the length of your shots will be to the average, the spread will become smaller.

so imho a very easy fix to the problem is the following:

when calculating the average, don't just add up meters and divide by number of shots but rather discard the longest 5% and shortest 5%, this will eliminate most of the wrong entries and with just a small change of the calculation formula we should have a reasonably accurate number.
so no need to do elaborate face and data changes

just a small suggestion, but I think with a lot of effect

Listen Garmin, it is a facility simple change that devices much cheaper than yours even have. 
The ability to go into your bag and where you select what clubs you play, you yourself can enter a yardage for each of your own clubs. Then what the heaps etc show up on the screen it suggest a club based on our more accurate data. 

it’s to much work to edit, erase, go back on tops etc. such a basic feature is ridiculous why you don’t have and why I sold my S62. 

not having it is a way to force purchase your swing sensors, use your others apps etc. great screen, product etc but you need the basics. It’s been over 3 years customers have been asking for it yet nothing.
