The R10 is a feature heavy marvel! I have found the device to be reliable, consistent, and downright entertaining! As relatively new golfers, my wife and I are very excited to use the measured and algorithmic data to refine our performance and move towards tangible improvements. We love the Garmin, especially when bundled with Awesome Golf!
I have used this device approximately 5-6 times. It appears to capture the ball impact appropriately 80% of time. Some of that 20% is probably less than ideal device placement. The audio read-out feature is nice.
Love it. simple and fast to set up with each use, just turn it on. the different driving range options are make it fun to practice. the swing capture feature is so helpful. highly recommend.
I like what the device shows me about my swing. I would prefer it be able to capture a set of 20 or so swings so I could look them over later rather than only being able to review the last one. I plan to use this before the start of next season to get rid of most of my bad shots.
I’ve used the R-10 Launch Monitor for a few weeks now and based on my current experience I’d give the Unit a good review. I’m finding that the different unit(s) of measure (data fields & ball impact) are in the ballpark but not as accurate as the Trackman. But you would expect that since the Trackman is considerably more expensive. My review is based on only using irons, no fairway woods or driver. The other limitations included within the R-10 unit is its ability to only select/show 3 units of measure and 1 voice unit of measure at a time. The other information is there it’s just not readily available without scrolling through different screens. Occasionally some data are is recorded on a given swing. Plus the only way to view the battery % is to scroll through the screens. But overall for the price it’s a good value and useable to get a reasonable idea of swing speed, ball speed, attack angle, backspin and carry distance. Plus other information as you try to improve your swing.
I have had my R10 for almost a year now and still use it every day. I could not be happier with it all around. Golf practice is fun again. About a month ago I had a tech issue with the unit. Garmin fixed it up quickly no questions asked. Honestly the best money I have ever spent!
