GC2 Left Bias Issues?

[Godfather]

If you would run tilt calibration at an angle. Could you make the gc2 fade biased? Maybe this could be a remedy (band aid) for those who have draw biased units?
Who wants to go first :-)

Did you ever try this?

[Jay28]

Yeah, think it's just a bad unit, but once bitten, twice shy. Wouldn't give them another chance with my money.
Many love the unit, though.

I have found the opposite to be true knock on wood. Great quality industry leader. I use the software for range work and prefer to play my rounds on TGC2019 and another software over foresight software.

Take it outdoors to range and confirm. Usually people setup differently indoors.

It's the same outdoors these days.
It's got worse.
My sand iron is now 9000 spin left and 9000 backspin.
It ends up 100 yards left (lol) on the GC2 and straight in RL.

I don;t use it now for any simulation - only recording ball speed and launch angle for practice. the rest is unusable so don't even turn on FSX.

Obviously a unit issue, so I will have to get it fixed and then sell it.
Over time, I've found foresight to be of poor quality generally - both the unit and the software

Seems to be getting worse on my unit - like 3000+ left spin (high!) on a 9 iron with 5500 backspin (which seems low) on well-struck shots.

I have never seen anything like this on the course - my usual shot is a slight fade unless I fat it and the club turns over.

At the moment I am living with it - as I do not want to work on my swing to try and get rid of it until some further outdoor testing.

Here is a recent shot that is pretty typical for the 9 iron... (something odd too with descent angle!)


One thing for those more knowledgable ... given my unit is only just over a year old, am I right in thinking that there tilt calibration tool is not needed?... I heard somewhere that the newer units are self levelling/compensating (?)

I get it on my knockdown down wedges but I don't notice it much once I get into a full swing.

I’m new to this forum and joined as my gc2 (which is about 5 years old) is a really starting to show significant left spin bias and big draws (60-70 yards) on my woods (titelist ti2 driver and 3 wood). The shot flight I see on the range is typically straight with a slight fade or a big miss right. The gc2 does show right spin too if it’s really pushed but “good drives” are almost always hooking pretty significantly.

I’ve called foresight on this but I’m curious how to calibrate the device. I’m running this on an older PC with an old projector.

I’ve never calibrated the gc2 before either. Curious for feedback on how to do both this and how to update the firmware (haven’t done that either). Thanks.

Hey Pomps - have you heard back from Foresight?

[pomps]

I've contact Foresight a few times, but with the PGA show last week, the communication has suffered. I just emailed them again.

Good to hear it is fixed. Did you take it outside and test it? Low spin (backspin) is different from hooking the ball. Gotta see the actual ball flight which is caused by Tilt Angle (Spin Axis)

M2’s. I know. I know. Game improvement clubs. Lol. They were really cheap so I tried them.

What kind of irons did you switch to?

[DirtyGarry24]

I haven’t experienced draw bias with the gc2. I experienced low spin with the driver for the first week and quickly realized it was my unreliable swing. Basically hitting duck hooks. When I swing correctly I have no trouble getting 2500ish spin.
