For the Price, Can't be beat

For reference, I'm using the R10 with a Spornia 8 net in a garage. Distances are OK when I raise the elevation and temperature, if I don't do this, drives are off by about -25yds verified at course and range. The app is OK, I don't use their paid service as I find that "Awesome Golf" is better. The "E6 Connect" free courses that Garmin gives you are pretty good but a pain to connect if you're using a PC. Running from an iPad or iPhone is easier but an iPad unfortunately doesn't project full screen on my monitor, only 4:3.
I've heard that Garmin is no longer updating software/Firmware for this as there new product came out. This is a shame if its true, I'd like to see some better implementation in the app regarding navigation, settings. etc. and it would sure be nice to be able to have settings to change distances by percentage instead of having to mess with altitude and temperature to get it correct. Also, a bit of a pain that when you plug the unit into a USB cord, it powers on and you have to power it off if you want it to charge faster. Battery life is excellent, BTW.

Just started using this. Helping me dial in all of my clubs without having to leave the house and use the balls I use on course.
Simple set up outside.

Plenty of information

I’ve had this R10 for about 2 months. It is a great buy. It gives lots of information to help with your swing and game. My only negative is when you are chipping from 15 yards or closer it does not always read. Sometimes takes multiple tries and end up hitting more than 15 yards to get it to read. Otherwise it is excellent

For the cost, this is definitely a great value. Easy to set-up, easy to use, and the data returned is accurate and very helpful. I use it every time I practice at the range and it has really helped me improve my swing.

Not what I thought

When I purchased My R 10 I looked at a lot of reviews and watched a lot of Youtubers. I knew it had some flaws, but according to all that I saw, I thought it would do a lot better. I’ve tried everything. I thought it would give me some good readings, but as it turns out can’t rely on it almost at all if you’re a better player, do not get this. You need to move up to something better if you’re someone just playing around and trying to get better, I guess it could help but if you’re trying to really dial in your irons, don’t bother it’s not reliable wish I would’ve just put the money into a better launch monitor just couldn’t afford it. Hopefully, I can sell it and maybe find something better. I wish I could tell you that it was better than it is, but I’m not gonna lie. My name is David Payne. Thank you very much. Good luck.

Good but not great

Since I have been using the R10 I have found the things that can affect the ball like wind is really off. A 10 mile an hour wind will not knock the ball off 50 yards at times. Also when it is into it drops yardages by 30 to 60 yards. Also landing on the green even if it isn’t in the 2 circles doesn’t mean a person will 3 putt. The better handicap players rarely 3 putt and average may 3 putt 1 0r 2 times at most in a round.

This is very accurate I was impressed on how well it picked up the speed of the shot.
