Works well indoors (Outdoors is TBD)
on January 29, 2023
Posted by: JT0604
It's January in WI, using this outdoors won't happen for a while.
I set up a net and mat in my garage for some practice. The net has a black tarp behind it so the R10 (I'm guessing) will see the ball more easily. I seem to miss around 1% of the shots I take, could even be my fault. The issues I am seeing and trying to correct are rather consistent with things I experience during game play.
I also take this to my buddies house and use it in his simulator. The numbers don't always match up between his photo launch monitor and this radar based one. The two units will usually agree on data, just the specifics might be off: 16L vs 9L, or 3450 spin vs 4275, etc. There are more time of the numbers being so close that I accept the differences.
Looking forward to taking it to the range once the snow melts.

Not accurate yet

Distances are reading about 20% short. I tested against a trackman system and was disappointed with accuracy. I am hoping a software update helps.

Unbelievable

Closest thing to a simulator you’ll ever get. The range mode is awesome and if you’re feeling fun get the membership and play whatever course you want to play. The accuracy is out of this world. I am very satisfied but also shocked at how great this product is. I was very skeptical.

Distance always short.
on January 22, 2023
Posted by: Josh8445
I bought this a month ago and the distance is always short. I’ve watched videos and bought a alignment stand and laser to try and correct and still having issues. Tried moving back device and net and calibrated multiple times with no success. The positives is you can play courses before going out and get an idea with the hometown hero. Always have to club up 1 to 2 clubs though. Overall it’s fun but wish the accuracy was better.

R10 is ok
on January 22, 2023
Posted by: Single planer
Garmin launch monitor in Garmin app is unacceptably incorrect. Doesn't measure actual distance outside or inside even with RCT balls. Way short. wanted to return R10, but the awesome golf app works for most clubs inside and outside except for driver. Otherwise the R10 is a useless expensive toy.

I just started playing and wanted to be able to practice into my net on my back patio. Works great for me to learn and adjust my swing to hit the ball better
