TGC shot data - Anomalies?

[aja]

I have finally taken the plunge and moved into using TGC.

Since I just recently acquired my ProTee, I have been more concerned about getting it running. I have played a few Red Chain courses in ProTee and have been trying to tweak the Vcam and HCam settings. It seems that they are finally set.

But, the first few times I have been using TGC I have experienced strange results.

3 and 4 irons that launch at 45 degrees, 118 mph swing speeds (4-iron) and shots (wedges) that go farther than they ever would in real life. Hit a shot that feels "flush" but the sim result is anything but!

Having encountered these "mis-hit" shot statistics, I immediately went into the ProTee interface and checked my VCam. Hit the same shots and got 19 to 21 degree launch angles, using PT4.

What is going on?

What has been other users experience?

Aja,

TGC does not make any changes to launch angles and swing speeds.

Like ProTee Golf, it just uses the processed data that comes from the Interface.

If you can play ProTee Golf without any issues, and TGC is acting up then check your PC configuration. Your PC might not be up to it (maybe short on memory) and TGC consumes all the processing power, and the interface does not get enough processing power to process the camera images and sensor mat data.

Try running TGC in a 1280x720 medium resolution window with the interface next to it and verify the readings.

Also make sure you are running version 2.3

Well something funny is happening, but I'm not sure what.

I was in the ProTee interface checking the cameras and didn't encounter a single mis-read. I then spent some time adjusting the sweet spot settings, using the ProTee driving range. I was bashing out Drives consistently 250 + yards.

I decided to finish with a round in TGC. I loaded the Old Beaver Creek course. I could not Drive the ball over the water on the first tee! The balls were travelling no further than 190 - 200 yards.

Is it possible that each TGC course has separate parameters that modify the numbers that ProTee provides? I remember on a re-hit on the tee (since my previous ball was in the water) the upper right box showed some kind of "factor" for the effect of the grass or fairway, where before it did not show anything.

I am not convinced that the numbers are just being passed straight through to TGC.

As for the question about computing power, this should not be an issue. It is a i7-4790K @ 4GHz, 16 Gb RAM, Win & Pro 64 bit. Video card is GTX770 2Gb.

I am running TGC 2.3

I will try and set up the PT interface window alongside TGC.
