I’m very pleased I was gifted this launch monitor and is already helping my game improve. Lots of data to geek on to help me improve for years to come. All I wish is for an full iPad version of the app like some of the other launch monitors, it’s better when you can see all you improvements on a bigger n more detail screen.

I’ve used this 6 times now and it provides you with all the info that you need to improve you game. Hit some simple shots, review the data and it will show you what you need to work on. Simple and affordable to the avid golfer.

I bought the R10 about 6 months ago. The features are very cool and accurate. However, each time I bring the device to the range to practice, after about 20 minutes, it loses connection to the phone and wont stay connected. I have to reset it and reconnect and repeat. I have called this into support and they tried to help me, but without success. I have sent the logs in from the app and the device weeks ago and still have heard nothing. So, there is a problem with the device and support cant seem to fix it.

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 the R10 to use at the range for practice. So far I am on my third unit . The first two would not sync with my phone. Garmin has been helpful in sending me replacements . The latest unit appears to sync now I just need to get to the range.

Worked very poorly, didn’t trac 90% of shots. Either indoor or outdoor I was out door 99% of the time, for whatever reason I would recalibrate would register 4-6 shots in a row then have to recalibrate when no variables had changed. Do not recommend if you’d like a monitor just get a big one for indoor in your home or go golfing. Not worth the price at all

I take it to the range each time. After a perfect straight shot I adjust it and its great. Great distance readings. Does not show you flight shape but for the price that's OK. Shows you where the ball went, great. Sooo many readings, great. I think the battery life is great. I hit for about 1 hour each outing and after 5 outings it wasn't low but I just charged it to be safe. This product has helped me improve my practice time.

I purchased this a couple years ago for my golf room with iPad to projector set up. Worked great. Had no issues at all and then when rapsodo came out with their mlm 2 pro … I got all excited golf could better! Then returned it within a week. Too many issues. Back to using r10. Nothing wrong with it but figured if it can get better, why not? Then when skytrak came out with their new plus version…bought that. And returned it within a week. Waaaay too many issues. The r10 just works. Consistently. Awesome golf is a nice range set up and kids use it for practicing. E6 also is pretty awesome for full simulation. Don’t waste your time trying to find the perfect one. The r10 Is as good as it gets if you want a simple set up and reliability.

You wont find a better golf simulator for the price. It does a great job at giving a ton of measurements and stats that help with my game. My only negatives are that it seems to not always catch a golf swing but for the price this cant be beat. Would highly suggest to anyone!
