Our courses range opened up this week. Just on mats as grass isn't ready yet. I have been using my quad all winter so I have a good idea of my numbers. Outside today things seemed a lot faster and a lot longer. I couldn't judge accuracy with the ballflight as there was a 30 knot wind in my face. But the quad was reading club speed significantly higher than indoor as well as carry distance. When the quad was setup outside there was about a 3 inch space between. The quad and the hitting surface. It was at ball level. Any help is appreciated

I thought about the indoor thing. But I have my own sim and I swing everyday. Could it still be that much of a difference outside?

I hit thousands of balls in my dedicated garage sim, 14 ft ceilings, and I was a plus handicap for about half of last season... and I am always a club longer outside. That’s just how it is. I don’t think I’ll ever get to the point I have the same speed inside that I have out.
I think what isn’t said about hitting inside versus out is that they are more different than the same. Outside it’s a three dimensional environment you’re not hitting into a 2D screen. No wind, rough, slopes, shadows, the flow of hitting is different, regardless of if you walk or ride, the ball is louder inside. Then, of course there are things like turf, balls spin a minimum 1000 RPM less off my fiberbuilt mat, that loss of spin is lost compression, that ball speed lost too. I hit shanks all the time inside but I’ve gone years without hitting one on the course. it’s just a different game even though the seem very similar.
