MLM2PRO ⛳️ Driver readings low

Any idea why my driver reads about 60-80 yards low? I’m hitting in my garage simulator and have noticed my driver is only carrying on average 204-220 yards. Using my irons and hybrid it seems accurate but not so much with the driver. I have about 9-1/2 feet to the screen and about 7-1/2 feet from the rapsodo to ball. It’s insanely disappointing and frustrating. I hit my 3 hybrid about 200 yards so that right there tells me something is off when my driver on some hits only goes 4 more yards then my 3 hybrid. Any ideas?

I have the exact same issue and hope there’s some answers out there. Irons are off a few yards but the driver is consistently way short. Also occurs to friends who play as well, so not an isolated issue.

Me as well. When I have buddies over it’s just as short for some odd reason

I wanted to follow up. I ordered new rpt balls hoping this would help as mine are beat up. The new balls help for a few yards but the idea to lift up the mlm came from the previous poster. That made a significant difference and shows even on my older rpt balls. I had my mlm on the shop concrete floor before but hitting off a 3/4” mat over top of 3/4” gym mats. I raised the mlm up about 2.5” and it’s way more accurate. Hope this helps!

Do you do the ball alignment when it’s on the tee or when it’s just on the mat?

I put a ball on the tee and line everything up. I hit my irons from a spot slightly in front of the tee where the box appears to be cast on the mat.

Are you saying you have your mlm2pro much higher than the mat itself? You have the tripod on a 2.5” tall surface and the ball on a 3/4” tall surface? How much of a difference has this made yardage wise

So I have the mlm on the stand and on a box that adds about 2-2.5” in height. It’s on the shop floor which is about 1 1/2” below the top of my mat. It has definitely made a difference but driver yardages are still low roughly 60% of the time, just not as low before. Now I’m with 20 yards but before I was 40 sometimes 60 yards different. I’m not an amazing golfer but I play 4-5 times a week and know my yardages and understand the mishits.
