Good Value - good performance

I had another monitor which did not give me path and face angle data. I've used this for several weeks and watched a number of youtube video's on optimizing it's performance. I use rct balls and found the ball must be teed exactly on line at the recommended distance to get decent results. The garmin software app is OK but one of the videos I watched recommended another app to connect it to that shows all the results on one screen in large enough font to read from 6-8 feet away, along with video of the projected flight of the ball.
I take this to the range almost every time. It has definitely helped me range my bag. Good Product that is easy to set up. The app is very easy to interface with at the range. It is a little wonky to review data, but does the job. I have not paid for any of the subscriptions or courses, but I imagine it would be great for a sim. I only use it at the range.

Pretty good but has problems

I use it with an indoor simulator and it works well for driver to pitching wedge. If I hit my driver so the ball skims the ground it will only register like 20 yards or so. I know from the hit that the ball would have gone 60-80 yards, so it’s off there. But the really frustrating thing is, around the greens it doesn’t see my gap wedge and up. So I have to use my pitching wedge only.
This is the first time I used it at the driving range. Captures lots of data on each shot but the data is highly sensitive to having the unit perfectly aligned with the shot target. Video capture is questionable. Only seems to capture late in the swing when ball contact has already occurred, therefore of no value.
Constant connection issues forced me to sell my R10. Having a small fan in the same room would cause it to drop connection, sometimes even a crowded room with a lot of cell phone interference would also disrupt the connection. I did appreciate the wide array of options to use (e.g. Awesome Golf, GSPro, the Garmin app itself). I would suggest a wifi option or maybe even a hardwired option for future upgrades. But for now I am switching to the Square launch monitor and am hoping for better results.
Been using my approach for about a month, virtual courses, are great for at home play. The data you get off the data tables will help you find things to improve. Amazing tool!
