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

Really fun for the backyard

Super fun experience, the ability to 'play' courses you know is pretty unique. Setup can be a little hairy but once you've got it dialed in it's super easy to make repeatable, and without question worth the money.

Great, Once You Figure It Out
on May 10, 2024

Owned the device for approximately two weeks, don’t have an actual indoor setup yet, so using a net and hitting mat at first. Had a good bit of trouble with it not picking up shots so researched and found examples of people trying different options but almost all had a grass mat in front of the hitting mat. I bought turf to use for now and placing the net 7’ in front, the simulator 7’ behind, it is now tracking 95% of the shots reliably. There are still a few misses but 3 out of 35+ isn’t too bad. Also recommend getting the stabilizing stand to ensure the device is level.
Decided to go with Awesome Golf right now, bought the lifetime membership and use the range stats often. I have a 9.5 GHIN right now, and found that it really helped me understand a number of things I was struggling to figure out. Playing today, I had a 13 shot improvement on the same course I butchered a couple days ago; maybe luck but I took the work from the simulator sessions to the course and loved the results, even had distance improvements. I plan to learn more about the stats and how they can improve my game further, and we’re already researching what it will take to build a full indoor setup with the screen and projector. We’ll consider the e6 app once we have that in place so we can play courses I may never get to play in real life.
Couldn’t be happier with the purchase!
