Recently my yardages to green have been off by 10+ yards. Most holes are shown 20 to 30 yards short. Could that be due to doglegs? How to update?

I updated my Swami 4000 a short time after receiving it and thought it went ok. The next time I used it my yardages were all over the place. I synched the device and updated it again this time making sure it completed fully and after that it started working properly and the yardages have been very accurate.

The yardage is direct from tee to green, straight line. Does not do dog legs.

My purchase of the IZZO Swami 4000 was a gift for my husband. He said the satellite measurement is tee to green and may not include the entire dog leg when the points of measurement were made for holes of that design on a golf course.

First of all make sure your unit is set to "yards" not meters (under Settings menu). If the unit successfully locates satellites and finds your course, most accuracy issues are related to the course map itself, not the unit. If that's the case all you would need to do is contact IZZO and have them update the course map. Then you sync a new course map database to your unit via their website.

Ask the Pro in the pro shop about possible course changes. Also you don't state how you are measuring what you believe to be the correct yardage. Even the most unsophisticated GPS units have an accuracy better than 20 yards. I'd question your alternate measurement technique.

Doglegs do have an effect on mine also, but not 30 yards ,but very accurate on all other holes.

New battery maybe? Mine worked right out of the box... I don't like the $10 battery but it has worked since day 1 - try holding down the yardage button for 5 seconds - keep trying - should work - sorry you are having issues.

I played nine holes one day, forgot to recharge it and played 18 hole the net day. The low battery warning started after about the 15th hole.It didn't make it to the 18th hole.

Check to see if your GPS is set for yardage or meters . This will make a difference in your readings.

I think something is wrong. I'm a 79 yr old female (105#) and I can alter the height. Usually long grass might need cutting at 3.5". I usually do 3" tall strips......rake if necessary and then lower to 2" height and cut again. I'm very happy with this mowing gem. It's good exercise :) Anngee

After this year I agree with the short comings of this mower. I have had the same problems. I think they need to redesign the shoot to the bigger. Doesn't seem to operate right.

Thanks for the info ... Im afraid to contract B&D; as I know they will tell me to bring it in . Fat chance !Its at the optimal height for me now anyway (5? or 3 from top level I believe?) so I might just suck it up and keep this one rather than paying to bring it in or get a replacement. LOVE the mower though and my lone fear of worrying it wouldnt complete my lawn on 1 charge was proven to be not worth worrying about !

Sorry, answered that with my phone and it autocorrected a few thing odd. Green is set at 5 foot increments and red is 2 feet away

I do not know why you are having a problem. I used the same blades on my 54" cut Craftsman rider. Couple of things, if you are cutting wet grass it will build up on the mower deck. If the grass is dry and you still have a problem, clean the deck with water and a wire brush. After it dries, spray with WD-40, be sure and spray the blades and shoot also.

Nope! Have found no issues at all,.... at the range or in the field. I set mine up to the best of my ability,then took to the local pro shop I use and they did the final needed adjustments for me. I really enjoy this drop away.

I just sent my UPRO back because I found it to be difficult to work with. Must admit I never had 999 but the final straw for me was when I asked it for yardage to the 18th green and I had a printed message that had nothing to do with anything. Good luck.

Not to the flag but middle of the green. Depending on the course there are some margin of error. If you can it may be helpful calibrating with laser range finder.

Try sighting in at the 30 yard shot first using the second cross hair. Once you are hitting bullseye at 30 yds, then go back to 20 yd shot and see how arrows are placing?

Turn on golf buddy using upper right hand button when on golf course. Seven sattelites will search and locate course you are on and will give you hole # and distance to back, middle and front of green. You need to do nothing else.

There is a sliding lever that moves up and down. To sight it in start with the lever in the most downward position. This is for your close range shots. As your yardage increases you will slide the lever upwards for longer distances. There is a piece of tape on the sliding mechanism to mark your distance. I have found that if you are dead on from 20 yard it is usually dead on at 10 yards as well.

I run the complete set but I've sprinkled in the older Orlimar versions for the 3-6 irons as they have longer shafts and I got used to them. The degrees I use to reference these clubs are 3-21, 4-23, 5-26, 6-30, 7-35, 8-39, 9-43, PW-47. I get a lot of crap from my buds but I'm not a divot hitter. I sweep rather then hit "down" and these work for me. Hit a Hole in One with the 7 the other day.

It should be 4-AW I believe, which should be 8 (7 if only through PW, I don't remember). But they only sent one club. I emailed customer service about it, and they didn't really seem to care about the problem. So I was just venting about that. I found better price and service at Rock Bottom Golf. I would check them out first just to compare. I think prices on these have come down since I bought them. Good luck!
