Great Idea that Falls Short on Execution

I love all the great features, but the connection is terrible. It tracks a few balls and then the connection is lost and will not track until I disconnect and reconnect. I wish I would have spent the extra money on a different simulator.

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.
I bought after seeing a friend using theirs and this little machine works just as described. You have enough feedback data to make practice sessions much more significant. Well done Garmin.
This little guy does a lot for what it costs. You can get very accurate numbers for a fraction of the cost of other products in this category. I haven't used the "my golf hero" feature yet but plan to this winter. Highly recommend. Great for anyone that needs great info on their ball flight in a small compact package. Better accuracy out doors or indoors with the radar enhanced balls from Titleist. Evidently this review isn't long enough so I'm still writing.
I've only had time to use it a couple of times but I have really enjoyed it. Side note I suck at golf. I've really enjoyed being able to get feedback on my club face on strike, it's help my "impressive slice". Played hometown hero and my score was consistent with what I normally get. Looking forward to finishing my garage set up and playing through window.
For the price it is awesome. I mostly just use it in my backyard to record drives into a net. I like being able to record video of the swing and see the analytics of the swing and save the video.Obviously wont be as accurate as an expensive simulator. I'll take to the range sometimes too. I've only played a few of the golf app courses but seems fun.
After my R10 arrived I followed the recommended way to set it up and started hitting in to my net. I love that it gives the same results as the Golf Galaxy equipment where I started taking lessons. I just took up golf again after my retirement and I can listen to the recommendations my instructor gave me after a lesson and can quickly see if my club path and attack angle are where they should be. I haven’t had it to the range yet, only into my net. I really like.
Very good launch monitor with mostly accurate data

Very good launch monitor for the price. It does have some issues with spin, particularly spin axis The spin axis issue is most noticed in playing courses where you hit on the toe or heal of the driver and R10 does not handle the gear effect.
