Graphics are lacking using Garmin software, but E6 connect were much better using IOS system (iPad). Haven’t gotten windows laptop installed yet, but I hear the graphics are even better.

Got this a few days ago & finally got the chance to use it. Initial setup was very easy & I had no problem getting it to sync with the app on my phone. Once I started using it I kept getting a message saying there was interference with the unit, and finally figured out that it was the fluorescent light that was directly overhead in my garage. Once I turned that off, the message stopped popping up. Alos found it was having difficulty picking up just a regular golf ball. I found myself having to hit several shots to get one to register. Sounds like the use of the RCT balls by Titleist will fix this, so I ordered a box and hopefully that fixes the problem. Overall, very happy with the unit, and when things worked right it seemed to be very accurate with how my clubs should be performing. Had a lot of fun shooting a simulated round of golf at my local course from my heated garage. Looking forward to getting a lot of use during the winter months.

Only had the r10a couple of weeks. Had difficulty connecting to the e6 demo. Now resolved. I have used the driving ranch set in my garage and outside of my garage. Also took it to the range. The range had the better results. My garage had poor performance. The distance measured was reduced from 20 to 50 yards from the driving range. I have checked and rechecked set up. Removed items I thought could interfere to no avail. Moved outside and the results were the same. I contacted support. They wanted pictures of location and set up. Also shot data. I have data from range and home both garage and outside. My problem is getting it so it can be reviewed. I am using IPad. Another thing I found was moving around the games and exiting a game before finishing. Instructions a little flakey. Help.

I am still on trial mode and the fact it holds my cellphone hostage is a big downside. Also distances seem over exaggerated even after calibrating. On the good side, I like the other stats like spin, club path, etc. For the price it does OK.
