Mevo+ works great with irons but can't pick up driver data outdoors

[ivygynonc]

I use my mevo plus outdoors on our clubs range with prov1x golf balls.  

 

I have no problems with all my wedges and irons getting picked up and data showing up, shot tracing, etc.  

 

But when I switch to drivers, it hardly ever picks it up and when it does, it will be one or two data points only.  I hit prob 40 drivers yesterday after a full iron session that had no problems, and only 3 shots were picked up.  However, the 'shot numbers' were changing so it seemed like the mevo knew it was a shot.  It showed 4/4, 5/5 6/6 after my shots so it appeared to be counting them.  

 

Also the 'system status' indicator light seems to switch a lot between green and red---so system ready vs. armed and ready.  I forgot to change back to irons to see if it did this as well when hitting them.   But, I did not move the mevo and did not change from the area I was hitting the irons.  The distance from the mevo to the ball remained constant.  

 

I have the roll as close to 0 degrees as I can get it and the angle of the kickstand is around 16-17 degrees.  In the radar set up page on the app, it does not show this to be out of whack and is in acceptable parameters for my range per se.  

 

Radar sits level to my ball on the ground.  I even tried changing 'tee height' in the settings to see if this made a difference and it did not help.  

 

anyway, any ideas to try would be helpful and appreciated.  

thanks in advance.  

If any of them work, I will report back as to what did the trick.

Tee height will be if the unit is below say a raised platform mat: it should adjust when you select a club as a driver type.

 

I would set the angle to 18d, and put a ball on a tee and then do target alignment (so you can see the tee and line up exactly where the path is).

 

For radar settings set the timeout to as long as you can to avoid the constant radar sleeping.

 

I have noticed with my unit that when using drivers if you stray too far away from the target line (left or right) I can get mis-reads where you get no data but it counts the shot.  Overall my unit is picking up drivers fairly well outdoors but it is the most frustrating part of the product as its not as reliable as it should be for a $2000 device.
