Difference in carry distance calculations?
Hi,
I recently purchased a used Golf Achiever 2 (GA2) and have integrated it with the OptimalFlight (OF) software. The issue I am having is that the data reported from the GA2 software is differing from that of the OF Software. In general, OF is down approx. 10% in terms of carry distance compared to GA2. As an example, I have included 4 driver shots below :
My questions are which of these results seems most realistic based on others experience of simulators and why might there be such a difference between the calculated carry values? I have both systems set to default settings so no wind, 0 altitude etc. so environmental settings should not be a factor. My inclination is to trust the OF carry distances as this seems to be a very comprehensive ball flight program but I cannot be sure.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
Thanks.Last edited by andyfive; 09-09-2016 at 09:02 PM. Reason: Re-formatting

I would certainly trust OF over GA2. I am not surprised ther s a difference in Algorythm distances bu that seems way off by GA2. Are you certain that wasn't GA2 total distance and not carry?

Next all I need to do is figure out out to get more carry with my Driver
Thanks for your replies.
