First time user
on May 22, 2023
Posted by: Rudyroo220
Finally purchased and tried out the Garmin R10 after reading several youTube videos on golf simulator devices. The Garmin was well-recommended based on flight results and price point. By no means a scratch player so precise accuracy was not an issue. The access the Home Tee Hero program and the fancier E6 Connect capabilities was the main reasons. Easy to set up and still experimenting with HTH options. Haven't figured out how to record your swing during a driving range session, but I have time.

Absolutely a terrible product
on May 16, 2023
Posted by: DivotMaker07
Can't use it in the basement, it disconnects every time the furnace or A/C kicks on.
Disconnects on the Range and takes forever to reconnect. Misses half of my shots.
I would never buy this again or recommend it to anyone

Best value launch monitor on the market
on May 15, 2023
Posted by: BK AZ
This launch monitor is the easiest to use that I’ve ever owned. I’ve also had Bushnell Launch Pro and SC Swing Caddie 3. The Garmin Golf phone app is simple and fast to use. It gives you rich virtual ball flight, Club and ball data, and video swing analysis. The data is accurate enough for most golfers. May not be enough for pro or pro am players. I can play 18 in about an hour. I’d strongly recommend this product to anyone in the market.

Easy and Accurate

Needed a setup where I could groove my swing in - I love it with the iPad or iPhone and how it tells me immediately how far it went, and I enjoy the "home tee hero" app and being able to play my home course in my back yard!

Greats launch monitor for the price!

This product is phenomenally, accurate and easy to use. It comes with a free driving range and subscription-based courses that you can purchase at any time. I am a single digit handicap and I believe the distances are spot on. Your able to use the machine while it is charging and works great outside. They've recently updated the software to be even more accurate. It's also small enough to fit in all golf bags. Great product.

The R10 is great! App, not so much.
on May 11, 2023
Posted by: Chamtw01
I've had my R10 almost a full year and love it. For the price range it's in, I feel it still covers all the important stats I'm looking for and accurate. The app has had many issues and fixes, so if you dont use it in Awesome Golf or GSPro you may or may not have issues. I would definitely recommend this launch monitor!

Desyncs and Needs 'Wake Up"
on May 10, 2023
Posted by: Tim I
It rarely works.
It takes me longer to set it up and get it to actually read my shots than it does to hit 50 balls.
I hit in the small amounts of free time I can find and don't have the time to waste setting it up.
I have to 'forget device' and reregister it every time I want to use it and even then sometimes it will not read. Sometimes I have to uninstall the app alltogether.
So the thing just sits on the shelf.
I've managed to get it to work MAYBE 2 times in the year since I bought it.

They want you to purchase simulators and course packages...and I might have if the thing worked reliably.
I just don't have the time to debug and troubleshoot this thing every time.

Similarly, I have a Garmin watch that sits unused for similar reasons.
I wanted to like Garmin - local campus and everything. There is an almost zero chance I ever purchase another one of their products and that actually makes me sad.
