    Carry yardage fix firmware update coming soon for GC2/GCQ

    As a lot of you know, GC2/GCQ exaggerates longer carry distance on a low spin driver shot that is less than around 1900rpm. I have sent out my findings to engineers at Foresight a while back and they have recently acknowledged that there indeed was a flaw at the carry distance GC2 and GCQ output.

    They told me through my sales rep that the new firmware is coming soon within this week with a fix on this issue.
    This will be a very important milestone and a next step for Foresight to gain more competitiveness in the industry against Trackman and more accurate algorithm such as OptimalFlight.

    I also noticed an oxymoron on Flightscope's Flight Optimizer; They also use OptimalFlight algorithm but they also had issues showing the correct distance on low spin driver shot like Foresight.
    I think the main issue was because they fluctuated the Height/Apex to be higher than real life, causing the distance to go farther. I am aggregating my findings to send out to Flightscope as well on this.

    Must be nice to have such low spin.

    I'm not so lucky. It reads my shots in a depressingly accurate way. But, that really has helped me this year. I owe a lot of my improvement this year to my quad.

            Are you sure on this? I was told yesterday the fix has been out for a month or so already.

              did you hear if your spin axis problem will be solved with it?

              And who was your rep?

              Spin Axis was not included. Only Carry distance with low spin.
