Very easy to use and loaded with information. I think the Garmin is very accurate on distance as well. I have only used indoors via a net and yet the numbers i'm seeing seems accurate.
Got this as a gift and was hoping to use it in the basement. Installed an impact screen and bought the mat to hit from etc. First few shots with wedge were almost as expected but seemed to measure short. Then went through all the clubs and found them all to be consistently, noticeable short. I normally hit a wedge about 100 yds , 7 iron about 140, 5 about 170. I am not able to hit anything close to that! i normally hit a drive 230-250. With the R10 i am not able to hit over 200 yds I have messed with the distances, elevation, etc but have still yet to find a set up that seems to be close to accurate. Still trying, but this will need to be corrected if I am ever to get decent use from the R10 and playing courses, etc.

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.
Have been playing and training for years but using a launch monitor really spurred things up a lot. Finally understand what it means to twist and tweak things in set up and swing, seeing the result … at first disappointed as the feedback is numbers and pretty harsh (you think you do well… guess what, you don’t), but then you adjust and you see and feel your performance go up.
I have 6ft11inch behind my mat and equal distance from ball to net. Lighting good, height 9.5ft. Fitness flooring tiles. Only when I make a hit that causes a very low flight (practically rolling) it may not measure, but that is ok because I know what I did wrong. In all other cases the accuracy seems to be really good now that my swing got better… before it was off I felt, but I now know that it was likely more with me than with the radar… value for money for me, addictive too… 30 balls a day, each day another club and then occasionally 9 or 18 holes… fun!
I recently purchased the Garmin R10 golf GPS device, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. As an avid golfer, I've used various GPS devices and smartphone apps to improve my game, but the R10 has truly exceeded my expectations.
The Garmin Golf app that pairs with the R10 is a game-changer. It allows me to track my shots, measure my stats, and analyze my performance over time. I can also compete with friends, join leaderboards, and participate in challenges, making my golf experience more interactive and enjoyable.
The battery life of the R10 is impressive. I can easily get through multiple rounds of golf on a single charge, eliminating any worries about it running out of power during my game. The device is also lightweight and comfortable to wear on my belt or clip onto my golf bag.
