Nice Launch Monitor
on February 23, 2024
Posted by: lewisb8802
It is incredibly easy to setup and use. I used to have a FlightScope Mevo+ but sold it because I rarely used it because the setup was such a pain because it creates it's own WiFi network which you must then connect your phone to. Then to mirror that on my tv screen I had to have a cord because you couldn't use AirPlay because the tv was on the home network and my phone was on the Mevo network. A very poor design.
My one complaint is I have to aim my R10 about 10 degrees to the right, otherwise all shots go 20 yards right on the app. I've done the calibration multiple times and have the latest software updates but those haven't helped.

Great Price For A Home Launch Monitor
on February 18, 2024
Posted by: Anonymous
The Pros are the ability to move this monitor, the software is easy to use, it also comes with a phone holder on your bag if you take it to the range.
The Con's, the software is minimal on what info you want sometimes and either guesses or shows incorrect data.
All and All its a good product if your looking for quick numbers or want to see if a certain club can be tuned.

Garmin Approach R10 is an excellent tool!

Am a huge fan of the Garmin Approach R10. I've being using it everyday for the past week. Set up a mini golf simulator set up in my garage. Battery life is amazing. For the price it's the most accurate/affordable tool out there. Many different options/game modes! Affordable monthly memberships as well! Highly recommend, have already had a couple more buddies buy it since I've gotten it the past week.

Great but

Wedges are awesome feed back. Pw thru 4 iron distance is off .According to your web site pitching wedge loft are 48* thru 49* . My PW is 44* , that mean all of my iron are off by 4* . I wish there was a way to adjust loft . On my Swing Caddie you could adjust lofts . Garmin is better I agree but you should be able to adjust loft for today’s iron . Then Garmin R10 would be 10 out of 10

Awesome Launch Monitor
on February 14, 2024
Posted by: Mark Z
I bought my R10 three weeks ago and absolutely love it. The only regret is that I didn’t buy this years ago. This has totally changed the way I practice. Now I have real imperial data at my fingertips telling exactly why and what my ball flight is doing on every swing. I know my path, my club face relationship to path, ascent and decent angles. Now I know what I need to change and where I need to improve. Absolutely everything all for a fraction of the cost for the other brands. Now I am going to build my own simulator studio using my R10 on a projector and retractable impact screens. Cannot wait!

Easy to use

I just bought this item about a week ago and not sure if I might like it or not. I’m using it in my garage with a hitting net and so far don’t like the distance accuracy. Haven’t tried it yet on the range, which will be my next move before deciding whether to keep it or go for something else. Furthermore I will be able to post a final review, for now I can’t really give much credit.

A break-through for senior golfers.
on February 12, 2024
Posted by: drust from Indiana
I stood on the sidelines trying to justify the price… big mistake. I am so glad I bought the R10. Several reasons. I don’t have the capability to create an indoor simulator. My usage will be on the driving range. Sometimes I struggle to see the ball, unless I have a clear blue sky as a backdrop. This is no longer a problem. I can see the shape and launch patterns of every shot- this in itself becomes a strong learning tool. I can now coach these tendencies into better shotmaking. Also, my carry and total distances can now accurately calibrate all my clubs. This is largely due to my purchase of the Awesome Golf software. Its compatibility of the R10 compares favorably with Trackman for accuracy. So now, compared to beating balls all day, my practice sessions have become purposeful. I had my doubts that the R10 could benefit a 74-year-old golfer. I now I wonder why I didn’t make this purchase sooner. I am really motivated to dial in the accuracy of my shots not only to lower my scores, but to bring the fun back into my game. I would recommend this product to anyone that wants to improve their game.

Fantastic device for improving a golf swing.

I have been using the launch monitor for a couple of weeks hitting into a net in the basement. It has already helped me improve my swing plane. The driving range feature makes practice more fun and the swing data makes practice more productive . It’s a great product.
