It works great! Only problem I am experiencing is with the driver, seems like either my waggle of the club or how I approach the ball, but it misses 50% of the time. Wedges and Irons however are great! Highly Recommend to anyone looking for a low budget simulator!

I got this as a Christmas present and with the rain in CA, I haven't been able to use it til the past weekend. Oh my gosh, so much information, it's awesome. My net is in my backyard and the Garmin R10 gave important information under fair weather conditions. I still need to use it more, but couldn't be more satisfied, best golf gift ever! GREAT JOB GARMIN!

My wife bought this for me for Christmas and I set it up in my garage with a net and mat. I can play so many course, but mainly play the local courses near me. It has been very accurate and allows me to work with club I normally don’t get out of my bag.

I’ve had this for about a month and use it often 3-4 times a week at least. It’s helped me work on my misses and given me the ability to work on my swing when I want.

Overall I’m fairly satisfied with my purchase. It allows me to play a round of golf I’m my backyard any time. That’s pretty cool. The major problem is the distance calculation. It’s about 30-40% short on all of my shots. So it is frustrating to play some of the games when I can only hit my driver 100 yards, on longer corses a nice drive will get me to the last tee box lol. I’m not a strong golfer I can usually only hit it 175 on a great day. That’s really my only complaint. All of the other readings and trajectory seem accurate. It is easy and quick to connect to my phone. I did find if I change the elevation a few thousand feet it will show the correct distances of my shots so I’ve been playing with that at the range to figure out what is accurate. Somewhere around 2000-3000 feet elevation more than my location. This still doesn’t help me if I wanted to play online because that is preset so I am at quite a disadvantage unless everyone is having the same issues. Other have said 10-15 yards but sometimes it’s even 50% short. I have 8’ of travel for the ball and 7’ behind the ball to put the r10. If the distance was accurate I’d give it a 5 star but it’s way off.
