Didn’t meet expectations
on June 9, 2024
Posted by: CraigInNC
I returned the Approach R10 because the measurements didn’t match the reality. I was using the R10 on the range and it measured my shots about 20%-25% less than their actually carry or total. It calibrated the R10 and was hitting off a mat with the R10 raised to the same level as the mat. I was using regular golf balls, not special golf balls designed for use with a simulator. After several sessions with the R10, I decided to return it.

Great unit so far!
on June 8, 2024
Posted by: Bstuart91
I’ve really enjoyed the unit. I use it in my garage with RCT golf balls and it’s been great. It doesn’t like fans or wind though so be aware of that. If the wind moves your net it will go to red and show busy and miss the shot. A fan will cause it to stay red and not work. I much prefer awesome golf and E6 software as well.

Great product

I love the R10. It's easy to set up and use. I'd love to see the app include more data like angle of attack and smash factor, but the driving range app and data that is available is great. It's good to see the shot tracker and distance info.

R10-Monitor
on May 24, 2024
Posted by: qwerty
Great, easy to use, set up and run. Great battery life. Fantastic instant feedback on club-path, face-angle, ...
Issues with distance on long clubs (driver, 3-wood...), also some issues with wedges on distances when hitting targets that I shot with my range-finder.
Also -- the courses are great to play.... but.... with long-distances off, can be a bit counter-productive (deflating) because I know I hit a tee shot ~230 yards (to a target on the range) and the game shows a 160-yard shot (I know wind, lie, elevation, ... but come on now).
A software update to address the distance would be great.

I use this only at the driving range to get a better idea of my distances for each club. While I feel like the distance for each club is usually pretty accurate the garmin has trouble reading a fade vs a draw and will normally project the ball left or right regardless of sidespin or perhaps it just doesn't pick up the sidespin. Additionally, the other thing I like is the home tee hero function that comes with the subscription that lets me play almost every course imaginable. One frustrating thing though is that sometimes the garmin can miss the shots since I use it at the range and not all range balls are glossy and easy to pick up.

It’s been frustrating
on May 17, 2024

I bought a week ago. It worked great for 3 days, but now every time you bring the club back the light goes red, and it doesn’t read the shot. I’ve tried everything, completely removing device, reconnecting, calibrating, everything yet still have the same problem. Did I get a lemon?

Very inaccurate
on May 13, 2024
Posted by: GG401
Was very disappointed with this product, purchased it last month and used it into a net, and at a range a few times. In all cases the distances and overall shot shapes were inaccurate. Has reading my pitching wedge as 90 yards when the actual was 120, and my 5 iron as 140 when then actual was 180. On top of that it was telling me I was drawing the ball when actually I was hitting a fade. The price for this item was very attractive, and easy to set up. unfortunately It proved to be to inaccurate for my use.
