Shots with my 58, 54 and 50 degree wedges aren't being picked anymore

    I think you are on to something, I hit about 25 shots with my old Vokey that is very faded and not shiny at all, not 1 misread,
    I have never had any trouble with my white TM hybrids or woods reading at all.
    Thanks for figuring this out. Now we will see how long this lasts lol

        I'm having the same problems with my GC2. Super flash or original flash doesn't help. I used rusty Callaway wedges and I still don't get regular readings. It is really frustrating!!!
        I did foresight's suggested changes: raise the platform, try a different mat etc. Didn't help that much. Any other advice? I'm thinking about selling this thing.

          Try different wedges. Also, a new flash. Mine didn’t do it for 2 years and it’s starting to. The flash is obviously getting older. Putting it in the top left of the FOV is the best.

            Do you mean you aren't getting club readings with dots or you also aren't getting ball data. I have a dot material that is giving better 4 dot readings with lob and sand wedges.

              I have mine off the ground about 1 1/4", it is 6" from the right edge (righty) and 18" from the front of the unit to the spot I hit from. I had no misreads this weekend and have very few since I did this.
              I have an aluminum protector box that raises it I measure from the the unit itself, not the box.

                I'm going to try the high level deal. I heard it helps draw bias too

                  So your GC2 is 1 1/4" higher than the surface you are hitting from?

                    It is 1 1/4 above the hitting surface.
                    I spent about 5 hours a couple of weeks ago trying to get it to work without misreads, I think I finally found the sweet spot and using my old rusty Vokeys.
                    I have had very few mis reads since I did this.
                    MThunt, do you mean it has less draw bias? I almost always have a draw as I do IRL, but it seems a little more on my sim, was wondering about the bias.

                      Thanks. I'm going to try raising mine up to this same level. I can't believe how many shots are missed on my GC2 vs the skytrak I had. It's usually with the wedges.

                        Where does everyone have theirs forward, back? I usually hit from the same spot, except driver is about an inch forward where I have a rubber tee holder buried in my FB mat. I putt in front of that.

                          I usually hit all shots in the middle of the box towards the back and then driver i hit in the middle of the box towards the front.

                          Where do you have the GC2 in relation to where you are hitting from?

                          It sits off to the side. Pretty sure it can't go anywhere else

                        Someone found that they got less draw if it was higher.

                          I'm at 1.25" and black wedges never miss. Just my experience. If you even remotely brush my mat, instant over draw too. I think some of it has to do with a toe up or toe down kind of swing and friction of the mat

                            Strangely I get a straight to draw inside and straight outside. With my GC2 inside it reads straight to draw and reads straight outside. I think it’s the mat or the room effect. I don’t think it’s the GC2 as much.

                              My mat sucks and I think a straight layed fiberbuilt type mat would help, not inter woven fiber type. Too much grab on the club / mat interaction. Haven't seen any grass grow like that honestly

                            You may want to try putting some blue masking tape on the hosel of the wedges. That has helped some people with misreads.
