How to use polynomials after curve fitting 3D points?

Hi, I am using curve fitting tool to find a polynomial relationship Z = f(X,Y). Although a surface is well fitted to my X, Y, and Z data, whenever I plug in X and Y data to f(X,Y), the result is very different from the original value of Z. Why? Attached are three figures from polynomial curve fitting, representing the same thing with different angles. I would appreciate any ideas.

Are you evaluating the sfit object at the locations to get the predicted values? https://www.mathworks.com/help/curvefit/sfit.html Or are you extracting coefficients and calculating the values yourself?

Almost always when someone says this, they have tried to fit a high order polynomial. Then they copied the coefficients with about 4 digits of precision, and thought that would be sufficient to evaluate the polynomial. It is not. The result will be complete garbage.
Use the correct coefficients. The ENTIRE number. In fact, don't type in the coefficients at all. Extract them as the actual numbers that were returned.
Best of course, is to avoid using high order polynomials at all. But people love them. Taylor series are based on them so they must fit well. Often, they don't really fit that well, even if the residuals are small. But sometimes they do sufficiently well.
