R10-Monitor
on May 24, 2024
Posted by: qwerty
Great, easy to use, set up and run. Great battery life. Fantastic instant feedback on club-path, face-angle, ...
Issues with distance on long clubs (driver, 3-wood...), also some issues with wedges on distances when hitting targets that I shot with my range-finder.
Also -- the courses are great to play.... but.... with long-distances off, can be a bit counter-productive (deflating) because I know I hit a tee shot ~230 yards (to a target on the range) and the game shows a 160-yard shot (I know wind, lie, elevation, ... but come on now).
A software update to address the distance would be great.

I use this only at the driving range to get a better idea of my distances for each club. While I feel like the distance for each club is usually pretty accurate the garmin has trouble reading a fade vs a draw and will normally project the ball left or right regardless of sidespin or perhaps it just doesn't pick up the sidespin. Additionally, the other thing I like is the home tee hero function that comes with the subscription that lets me play almost every course imaginable. One frustrating thing though is that sometimes the garmin can miss the shots since I use it at the range and not all range balls are glossy and easy to pick up.

It’s been frustrating

I bought a week ago. It worked great for 3 days, but now every time you bring the club back the light goes red, and it doesn’t read the shot. I’ve tried everything, completely removing device, reconnecting, calibrating, everything yet still have the same problem. Did I get a lemon?

Very inaccurate
on May 13, 2024
Posted by: GG401
Was very disappointed with this product, purchased it last month and used it into a net, and at a range a few times. In all cases the distances and overall shot shapes were inaccurate. Has reading my pitching wedge as 90 yards when the actual was 120, and my 5 iron as 140 when then actual was 180. On top of that it was telling me I was drawing the ball when actually I was hitting a fade. The price for this item was very attractive, and easy to set up. unfortunately It proved to be to inaccurate for my use.

Low quality device
on May 12, 2024
Posted by: Garmin r10
I used my Garmin R10 in my backyard hitting net daily for 3 weeks. Very disappointed with the device. It provided very inaccurate distances for all my irons and woods. I meticulously set up the Garmin per Garmin videos/instructions, but yardage was consistently off by 20 to 30 yards. I even purchased the expensive Titleist RCT balls to hit, but no difference in results than with my regular golf balls.

I am still working out the kinks, shot distances appear to be 10-20 yards shorter than actual, however I am working on ensuring I have the proper set up of the device for better accuracy.
Other than the distance being off, shot shape is accurate I think spin is pretty reasonable.
Beginner golfers would benefit from this item as it provides realistic shot shapes and ball park distances.
I'm going to try it paired to the e6 app and see if that improves the data.

Bought it two weeks ago still learning how to work all the functions but the range function has been great and It’s really helping me dial in my yardages on all my clubs
