Great for its price!

After setting this up at my own home and my work, I have been able to practice seamlessly from home and use the data it supplies to help fit other golfers. Compares to a true launch monitor, for a fraction of the price. Only reason it's marked at an 8/10 is because you need to put the R10 on the same level as where you're hitting it; for example my turf mat is higher than ground level, so if I don't elevate the R10 it will become inconsistent and not pick up some shots. Overall great product, would highly recommend!!
I brought this to the range to see how accurate it is against the range's yardage, and sure enough it's pretty dead on. I'm beyond impressed with its accuracy and its potential to allow me to tweak my swing as I hit the ball. Maybe a little excessive if you have easy access to a driving range, but otherwise well worth it if you can afford the steep price tag.
The real magic is in the Garmin golf app, which lets you see where your strokes land in a simulated range or course. If you use other Garmin golf devices, it's a one-stop-shop for golf metrics.
Have had it for 4weeks and set up in my garage. I am disappointed in yardage results with woods. It is showing about 20 yards shorter than my average drive. Shorter clubs results seem to be closer to actual.
I love the attack angle, face path, and back spin readings. Helps me developed my game. The side spin is lacking though. Took it to the range and sliced a few. My shot went 40 yards left yet garmin showed it going straight. Need more consistency on side spin.

Thank you for your review and experience with the Approach R10. We would like to discuss this further over email. If you would please email us at product.support@garmin.com.
Really like the ease of setup and seeing my numbers instead of just hitting into a net over and over and not seeing the ball flight. What a difference it has made!
I just got this a couple of weeks ago. I love it because it is nice and portable and pairs well with my Android and iPad. I am still working out some of the kinks in my setup. Works well my driving net and read when inside. I did have a slight issue when hitting into my net outside with the wind moving the net itself. The app works well and worth the money.
