Awesome Product and Value

This is an amazing product. I am a teaching pro and have spent a lot of time on many different simulators and launch monitors. I would put the R10 up there with the best of them. It is extremely easy to use and setup to computer/laptop software. On top of that, it is extremely accurate. I had this setup next to a trackman and the readings were almost identical, obviously there were some deviations on a few shots but for the price point of the R10 there is nothing on the market that is close to how good it is. I will be returning my FullSwing KIT, as the R10 is a far better product and so much easier to use.
Distances from the Garmin Approach R10 are iffy at best indoors. Support is frustrating and referred me to online articles that I informed them I had already tried. I've tried many of the users YouTube videos with varied results. I've had moments of better results just wish they would work to improve their support.

It’s easy to use but has been consistently short on all the reading. 30 to 50 yards short. I sent it back. Hope the new one works better.

Good price point but too many things seem to cause poor readings. I would call this more of a toy than a tool.

Pros: cost, easy setup, free apps, trusted company so support is good
Cons: you need 18 feet of space from my experience. Garmin app does not always give accurate data. A lot of users including myself need to set elevation to 10,000 feet to get accurate carry numbers. Does not read putts.
There is a really good Facebook community that has helped overcome some challenges and offered some unique solutions to common problems. With all of its flaws, I would still buy again due to all of the features and how useful this tool is to keep track of your numbers.
Have had this since Thanksgiving week and I am LOVING it! I have been suing this in my driveway hitting into a net and I have to say it has made a difference in my game 100%. The range sessions give me instant feedback on every swing and the sim session have been helping me with my accuracy. My last REAL LIFE range session definitely reflected the distances and my accuracy has only gotten better. Can not WAIT to see how I play next Spring, thank you GARMIN. If you're on the fence on this one get IT, you won't regret it, tiny but MIGHTY!
