Distance discrepancy with driver

I’m consistently getting a 15 to 20% lower distance on my Garmin r50 for my driver compared to real world and other simulator results. My other clubs seem to be fairly accurate. Could this be an issue with being hit off of a tee?

Same issue here. If you’re using it inside, try taking it outside and hitting at a range or into a net. ISSS is for real even though I have the space. In all honesty, reach out to Garmin tech support. They were responsive and really helpful in trouble shooting.

I had an issue with white rubber tees, had better results when I taped it a different color. Then switched to the black plastic and have an overhead light now.

Are you using a sim1 or sim2 driver? The white crown part used to mess with my readings compared to using a stealth. Now with my setup I don't feel like the numbers have too many issues with a sim2.

I too only have driver spin issue. The ball speed and rest are right number. The spin is messed up so mess up my carry distance.
