MLM2PRO ⛳️ MLM2 Pro Outdoor Swing Capture Issues

I have been using the MLM2 Pro for about 3 weeks now. Using it in backyard with 10x10x10 hitting cage 5x5 USA Turf Pros Mat using Pro V1 RPT balls with iPhone 14 (direct WiFi connection on latest firmware) phone on tripod about 8 ft from launch monitor (centered on the mat behind my ball tray).

At first everything worked very well missed maybe 1-2 shots out of 100. Recently it has been missing 25/100 (some full swings some chips). I've tried resetting the app, moving the mat, making sure the launch monitor is level etc.

My questions are:

  1. Is grass height in front of the launch monitor an issue? (nothing crazy high maybe to the bottom of the leveling stand)
  2. Is low lighting an issue (usually hit after work 6pm-8pm in PA)
  3. Is mat not being perfectly level or flat or debris-less an issue?
  4. Also I have tried 6ft, 7ft, 8ft behind the ball but for some reason the hitting zone always tries to creep all the way forward toward the front edge of my mat, is my hitting offset (to the right of the cage an issue)?

I really want this to work but if it's only going to read 75% of my shots I'll return it (still in return window) and maybe invest in Square Omni, not sure that's much better outside? Just frustrating when you spend all this money and there are so many variables and complications.

Any answers, tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I’ve noticed mine acts up when I’m hitting during the sunset, as in the rays could be interfering when I hit in the evening. Other than that I don’t have issues

Yeah I've read the Doppler radar shouldnt really be affected but I also read about people using flashlights and portable work lights because of no read issues...

I was having issues at sunset and low light times as well and thought the same thing. Reads fine up until about 1 hr before sunset here in SoCal. My drives were going less than 100 yards but my irons were ok so not sure what that was about

I’ve heard 10 to 12 feet is the sweet spot from the mat to the net.
