GC2 numbers for long long hitters - way short?

[jesseasi]

Have had my GC2 + HMT for several years now. For myself - all the numbers seem to be spot on. I have gone through all the software updates - from FR1 to FSX2018 to FSX2020, Pro, and even purchased the E6 Connect.

This weekend I had a buddy over that is a +4 handicap and we all call him "smash" - he is a long hitter.

Some reason when hitting driver on my simulator - he could barely get it to 300. I think the longest he hit was about 290.

Not sure if it is E6. Or if it is my GC2. Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Unless you post the ball parameters i.e. ball speed, spin, launch angle and azimuth, any answers to your question are just idle speculation

What’s his ball speed? Club head speed? Hard to tell what’s going on without at least those two numbers...helps to know Angle of Attack, spin, and even where on the face contact is...

My buddy gets to 330 on my GC2. He's a big hitter.

How long does he normally carry it? And is that launch monitor confirmed or just on-course estimation?

Does he hit indoors much? Indoor swing syndrome could be at play.

Thank you for the responses. I should have taken note of the numbers - we were playing E6 - I should have tried FSX2020 and compared.

I did find this shot going through what we were doing.

Ball speed 155.83. Only carrying it 265. I guess those numbers probably match up.

I need to get him over here again and hit some more and keep track of the numbers and compare them to mine. Was just hoping someone might say - oh there is a setting for E6 or something that might explain it.

When I get more info I will report back.

155 ball speed is not going anywhere near long. And is the 4149 the spin? Because that's a crazy amount of spin if so.

I haven't had any issues and I hover around 175 ball speed. I did notice that out on the range I can get closer to 185. My ceilings are high enough to not hit the ceiling but low enough it's still on my mind when hitting driver so there is definitely a subconscious affect for me when hitting inside into a net vs out on an open range.
