Fun for winter time a little let down on accuracy

I love having the ability to play virtual in the winter time that is a huge plus. My unit seems to miss pretty often below 60 yards or so as well as when driving. Overall I’m happy with the purchase but the missing of shots (not just accuracy but not reading at all) leaves more to be desired. Great value

I bought this a month ago and have mixed reviews. The garmin app it comes with does not give accurate readings. I would flush a 6 iron and it would say it went as far as my 8 iron, sometimes shorter. There are other apps with simulator software like awesome golf that work very well, but require an expensive subscription. Doesn’t make sense why the garmin app can’t be as accurate as the other ones.

I have now had three range sessions with my R10 Approach. It has been a great addition to my bag! It is so helpful to hit a shot and get instantaneous feedback on how you are putting the club on the ball! I am already hitting my irons more flush and look forward to seeing how the range sessions translate to my play on the course.
Can you spend more for a piece of equipment that might be marginally more accurate? Yes - but why? The amount of data generated by the R10 is remarkable and when it does miss a shot (very infrequent for me), I just tee up another ball.
I wish I had bought this sooner!

When the weather is cold and can’t get outside, hitting into a net doesn’t tell you much. But using this really allows you to see distance and whether pulling it or pushing, etc. and you can figure out why—it shows if clubface is open or shut and the club path. So you can make corrections. I was also able to cast it to my tv so can see it big screen. Wish they had some more explanations on what the data means and how to use it to correct. Well worth the purchase price.

Bought a couple weeks ago. Have played 20-30 full rounds. So far it’s fine my only real complaint is actually the Garmin app. The home tee hero gives underwhelming statistics on rounds. I would love to know where my shots went and what I used to get there. But all you get is a scorecard and a few basic statistics.
