launch monitor
Its changed so you must have figured out?
Magic?
The Backyard Golfer ( Erich from Italy) compared this Launch monitor ( or an earlier version of it called Atlas) to the Mevo.
Except for the wedges, they both gave similar readings ( distance, ball speed, carry), smash factor. I have found that also. High flying shots are not recorded. The Mevo gave more data like spin etc. but cost 5 times the price ( in Europe)1 user liked this post.
I found it useful to work out average distances that I hit clubs. I made a list of swing speed/ shot distance and averaged out 5 for each club. I also recorded my best shot with a high smash factor. It is handy to know how far a shot might go if you really get a great strike.
The other training use I have used it for is trying to increase my swing speed. Often you think you are getting faster, but you are not. I was trying to a ladder like drill in increasing swing speed.

What is your smash factor with your driver. ?
if swing is efficient it should be close to 1.5
In the net, for good shots it is around the 1.4 mark. For shots you can tell it isn’t great, it is down around 1.3

this factor indicates not a consistent strike on or near centre of club face.
spray some powder on face and see where your strike is on club face.
also does your launch monitor give ball spin, maybe you dont have enough ball spin to get ball into the air. for your swing speed need around 2800 to 3000 rpm.
ball speed will vary a bit by type of ball.
