Just wondering if anyone has any advice they can give. I have gc2 hmt at home and yesterday i went to a local golf shop to get fitted for a new driver. My current driver is a Titleist 910 D2 in a stiff shaft. They let me test out some drivers (epic,m2 etc) on their trackman and eventually the Titleist 917 D2 in an X flex was the best fit. According to trackman my old driver was carrying around 250 yards and the fitted driver around 270 yards with a tighter dispersion also. I ended up buying the new driver thinking "great I have added 20 yards of carry!". Today I fired up fr1 and tested my old driver against the new one just to see what numbers the gc2 hmt was giving. To my shock both drivers' average carry was 250. My best carries were about 270 with both drivers and dispersion was very similar. I'm very confused as there seems to be a major discrepancy with the trackman and gc2 data. I'm tempted to just take the new driver back and ask for a refund as on the gc2 the driver numbers were very similar. Is it possible I have been misfitted? Maybe their trackman's calibration is off? Has anyone had a similar experience? Really not sure what to do. Any advice welcome. Thanks.

Makes sense. As with all technology I can think of there isn’t a perfect piece of equipment so only one right answer. Own both. Just like I have Alexa and Google Home. -
Just to add my 2 cents - I think collectively we are too hung up on comparing these devices with each other. I come from a racing background and we did not care about differences between different dynos or flowbenchs, we cared that the changes we were making was reflected in the data. I do not care if a trackman shows a different spin rate than a gc2, just that a swing change is reflected accurately in the direction I am trying to achieve. As long as the various monitors reflect comparitive, I do not really care how close the actual numbers are, I just need more or less, better or not. Your mileage may vary.Comment
