AWESOME TECHNICAL ANALYTICS

A shoulder injury stopped my golf 10 years ago. I just started back 4 months ago and the Garmin R10 is getting me back on track rapidly. Once you have it set up accurately - it provides incredible swing statistics that accelerate learning. For the price - it is the closest thing you can get to the very expensive launch monitors and it provides me about 95% of things I need to know. Things that you can't see like spin, ball rotation, swing path, attack angle, launch angle, and smash factor can be the key to playing great golf BUT they can also be the factors that stop you from playing good golf. The R10 solves these problems by presenting the factors that can help us all improve.

The product works well with Econnect/GSPRO. I have a bit of issue trying to connect sometimes when it goes offline/sleep mode. Additionally I wish it can detect putting; this will be great feature to have for the future.

Bought this when trying to build my garage simulation. I did not have an endless budget but what you get for the price compared to competitors is outstanding. Super happy with my decision.

I’ve had the Garmin for 3 weeks and it has exceeded expectations. I highly recommend.
The app is good, the data is good, and the accuracy is extremely good for a product in this price class. Easy to setup and easy to take down so the cars can still get in the garage.

I purchased the R10 2-weeks ago and have only used it afew times due to severe rain storms in California. I recently updated the R10 firm ware to 4.3 version, which has really improved the distance gap and the side spin has improved quite alot from the 2.03 firmware. It's very accurate with irons 7 thu SW. Fairway woods and Driver seems to be off 8 to 15 yards but I'm still tweaking with it and once dry warmer temperatures return I'm sure everything will be fine. The side spin has been the most help to me improving my alignment addressing the ball. I'm really impressed overall and excited about playing the Golf courses. I use it outdoors for now.

It is amazing how this small device is able to accurately determines distance of a golf shot. I am skeptical if it is seeing the draw(hook) or fade(slice). Every shot I hit is fairly straight and I know that sometimes I can put a lot of curve on the ball.

I setup everything in my garage to Garmin specifications and everything works as expected except my driver. My driver only registers up to 225 yards but my 3-wood averages 240 yards on the r10. Typically my driver is 270 average on the course but it is not picking it up. Not sure why this is the case other than the ball is traveling too fast for the r10 to register.
