Great Golf Investment!

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.

For an indoor simulator, it really elevated how I practiced and played. Such an awesome value compared to brands in similar categories. It packs up small and light easy to bring with you to the range to pair your numbers with real ball flights. Overall definitely recommend. One best practice is using an RCT ball with it to get the most accurate results indoors. 10/10.
I bought this to help me figure out everything about my shot and it did not disappoint. Was able to correct multiple aspects within in a couple practice sessions and it has paid off nicely. Club distances, launch direction, club path, attack and launch angle are all able ot be fine tuned thanks to this little guy. Also fun to play in the virtual golf courses with friends and challenge others in competitions for some added value. Highly recommend for a starter tracker to improve your game.

For the price point this device can absolutely provide insight to improve a golfer’s game. Issue with the distance accuracy of the unit and the need to have 16 feet of space to use indoors may be a deal breaker. For a portable outdoor launch monitor it’s tough to beat.
