Great product but could use improvements
on August 25, 2025
Posted by: GS723
Love all of the data and accuracy of the r10, I bought it bc I wanted to track more than just carry distance and the value with the r10 is amazing. I use mine at an outdoor range. Problems I’ve had: it misses balls a lot more than my Voice Caddie SC200, I would say maybe 10-20% of my shots don’t get read by the r10 whereas my SC200 misses maybe 2% of shots I hit. I also wish it had some better design in some key areas. I wish there were more separate physical buttons so I could easily turn the power off the machine, and enter it into pairing mode so I could more easily switch which device my r10 is paired with, right now it’s really clunky and takes too much time to switch devices. I also wish there was the option to have a simple, affordable, standalone monitor to use with the r10, it’s a bit annoying I have to dedicate a device to it (good thing I have multiple old phones I can use for golf practice, but it’s not ideal). In general, I still prefer using my Voice Caddie bc of how much more simple it is to use, but still happy with the r10.

Not for me

I really like it and it works exceptionally well for someone who is really looking to get better and take the sport of golf seriously but I know realize that it is not for me and I hardly use it and I hate to see it sit around and collect dust in the garage

Not impressed.

Having trouble picking up the ball, hit 3 shots when it says waiting to hit the shot and it might pick up one, very frustrating.

Easy to setup and start using

Out of the box it is very easy to setup and get started. Follow the recommended distances for setup and you're off and hitting balls. Recommend getting a leveling stand for the R10 as this makes setup a breeze. Have not tried the R10 at the range yet, only used it hitting into practice net in the backyard. Occasionally the R10 loses connectivity and needs to re-sync to the smartphone. This is the only reason to 4 stars and not 5.

All around great little device.

I use it every Tuesday and Thursday during the winter months with my friends. For the last two years. We have a great time being competitive, and keeping our swing grooved. When paired with Awesome golf it’s a fantastic simulator.
I only wished that the Garmin app Home Tee Hero would update to a better version, like
what’s on the Garmin R 50

I love the size and the features of the R10. It easily connected to the other apps and worked flawlessly on the range in real time

Worked till it didnt

From day one out of the box it only worked when the unit wanted too. Legit once the 1 year warranty was up it stopped working. When powered on it just stays solid red. I’ve reset it multiple times. Deleted it from my phone and reset it up. Still does not work. I’d recommend you to skip this unit as an option and invest in something better

Always part of the Garmin Golf Family

The R10 was my last add on the Garmin family, watch, club sensors, Approach R80 and now the R10. The R10 just takes the home sim to the next level without having to spend thousands on another brand.
