Had it a month and have already learned a lot about my swing (approach angle, spin, etc.). Can’t wait to dial in my wedges and tweener distances. Haven’t even gotten into playing a course yet. As a numbers geek, easy to email myself the download of my sessions to excel and sort through the numbers. Display also gives you summary of each club.
Got it, hooked up, rather easily, put it on driving range mode from the app and started swinging away. It rather easily reads the ball flights, and it’s been a big help for me already in calibrating distances for my new irons. I have used it now for roughly 3 hours with no problems. Glad I bought it
The Garmin R10 has performed as well as I was hoping. As far as accuracy I think it is pretty to close to the numbers on the course. The one downfall so far is chip shots is chip shots of short bump and runs. It takes a few chips until the Garmin will pick up a shot. I will admit it is very annoying when this happens. Everything is aligned like it is supposed to be. I hit off a mat in my garage. I also have updated and still misses the chips. Overall it was a good purchase for me.
I've used the R10 at the indoor driving ranges, and it stands up well against the Trackman for total distance and launch direction. The R10 does so much more - not just ball and club speed, but club path, face to path, back and side spin, and you can film your swing as well! What a great tool!
Gives you a good starting point to get your distance dialed in to with in 5 yds. For the price you would think you would get a few more numbers such as ball speed and swing speed.

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.
The R10 is very powerful and entertaining at a reasonable price. After working through a few issues with the setup of my indoor hitting area, the Garmin R10 is working great, giving accurate, solid feedback on every shot. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a launch monitor that is affordable, easy to use, and dependable.
