Based on your readings of 100 mph, 2200 RPM, an assumption of a perfect hit (smash factor of 1.5), and a launch angle of 10 degrees. I am calculating 1.69 revolutions for 10 ft of ball flight, 1.86 for 11 ft, 2.03 for 12 ft, 2.2 for 13ft, 2.37 for 14ft, and 2.54 for 15ft. Was just wondering if it can track that first "flash" of the marker on the first 1/2 revolution of flight. You may try to rotate the ball 1/4 revolution to give the time for the club head to clear before it is visible to the radar. (marker pointing down instead toward the net) Having said that, I did have TM rep over my house to test out my setup about a year back when he was in town for other business. Had no issues with the driver with 11 feet of distance tee to net, and 7 ft from radar to tee, but was about 95 mph on club head. And I agree, their customer support is top notch.
