New GC2 / TGC Owner - Driver has way too much carry.

[pauleywauley]

Hi All,

I know this has been discussed in multiple threads here on the forum. Most tend to address too little carry with a driver. Mine is the opposite.

- Irons are spot on w/ TGC and GC2. Within 2 yards on average.
- On the ProTee Sunday Range my driver is carrying 300yds on average with roll out to about 315yds, but, the GC2 shows carry of 265-ish.

Is it as simple as adjusting my GSX driver carry settings from 0 to say, -14?

I've seen people discussing adjusting their elevation settings? Is this possible?

I'm in Michigan & the GC2 seems to be pretty close to real life results with roll out of closer to 285-290yds on average flat course for my area.

I've researched every thread possible & can't seem to find many people WAY too much carry.

Any other setup tips?

Thanks!
Paul

pauleywauley ... Not a bad problem to have... This may be a range firmness range altitude setup by the designer of the range Interesting question. Have you played any courses and found long carry & roll outs? Where in Michigan are you? I am sure some one else will chime in. I have a GC2 on the way as well.

Wyzyguy I'm in the Grand Rapids area. I did play a few holes on a course last night. I can't remember the course name, it was the "most played" or "highest reviewed" public course in TGC. I had my driver carry set at -14. From what I could tell it seemed pretty reasonable. A few high elevation tee boxes had driver distance of 325+ and then had some very short drives hitting uphill at about 225yds. Took some getting used to.

I'll compare a few different ranges with Driver carry set to "0" and then adjusted to "-14" to see how they react and compare to the GC2 readings.

Curious to see your numbers - post your Ball Speed, Azimuth, launch Angle ,Side and Back Spin etc .

Will post later tonight!

Post everything the GC2 display says and post a picture of the post shot screen and I'll tell you what it is. Also, what version of TGC/ GSX and GC2 Firmware are you using?

[pauleywauley]

Will do this as soon as I'm back home after work. Thanks!

Make sure TGC "on" check marknis checked is gsx. I had mine unchecked and it added 30 yards to my driver until I realized I had done it. I had thought it just wouldn't work at all if that was checked but it did work and it added 30-40 yards to my drives above and beyond gc2 carry number on the LCD.

[pauleywauley]

Interesting.. I think it might be checked. Will confirm tonight!

[Stingreye]

You need it checked. The picture on this post will show it unchecked but it needs to be checked.

I was surprised TGC even worked with it unchecked but it did and after a couple 300 yard carries.... I realized something was up.


Here was my thread when I asked about it but it sounds exactly like your situation but it looks like others haven't run into that problem before.

Gotcha! I'll report back

[pauleywauley]

Here's the update guys. It seems as though Stingreye was right on with the check box. Yardages on the GC2 are within a yard or two of a flat range on TGC. Seems to be all set now. Thanks for the help, everyone! 👍🏻
