Go by the snail. Check out the videos where it hangs with golf simulators 10 to 15 times as much as this one easy to use get the awesome golf app and get better.
The Garmin R10 has been awesome to use during range sessions. I've been looking to get some real data about my swing path, club and ball speed, spin rates, etc. This has provided that to me at a great price. It is admittedly not going to be as accurate as a Trackman or Foresight laugh monitor, especially if you are using the cheap range balls, but it gets the average weekend golfer like me close enough to start putting a plan to improve together, based off of the data. Definitely worth the money for a beginner/intermediate golfer looking to improve their game.
I bought this almost a month ago. Out of the box it sets up pretty easy, but I have struggled to get it dialed in to more accurate tracking. The spin and shot shape is not right yet. I have it set to 7 ft behind hitting area, and about 10-12ft tee to impact screen. It works for practice for sure, but is not accurate yet. I have played some local indoor golf places to assess the differences in distance and spin, and I am finding this to be an issue. Hoping to get it more dialed in.
A friend of mine has the same launch monitor. We had been talking about it for a while before I bought mine. We talked about the instant feedback while swinging in the back yard. It's nice to have a tool like this when trying to learn a new swing.
I bought this for winter practice in my shop. I’m very frustrated. Only occasionally picks up my swings. Distance is not even close. Only thing that seems close is swing path and club face angle.

I bought this two weeks, used it a few time at the range. Very easy to setup and use, but track rate is at best 70%, 30% of hits not tracked. Of those recorded, directional deviation is 80% accurate. I'll keep using it because it's easy to setup. But I hope future software upgrades will improve accuracy.
