Still working on it
on September 26, 2023
Posted by: DuckHookDad
Doesn’t do well with short irons, maybe 1 out of 3 shots gives feedback. Inside vs outside, doesn’t matter. Bought the 12 month golf package but have tried to use other compatibility apps. Same thing. I’ve calibrated and tried different “tricks”, nothing has helped. If I had to do it over again I would save the money and buy the Bushnell. It’s a shame too because I felt like my next purchase would be a fenix.

20-30 yards short
on September 29, 2023

Connection is great, setup is easy, seems to track ball well. But All of my clubs are very short. Hoping an update will help. There is no way to update manually, it does it in the background.

Good features but lacking in one area
on October 1, 2023
Posted by: Sierra Tom
The unit works well. The wealth of information is impressive. Now, if I can put it all together that will help me with my swing mechanics. Two things need improvement. First, the instruction manual is grossly inadequate. I went online and got the "more" detailed manual but it still leaves a lot to be desired. This is a complex device, it needs better documentation. Secondly, alignment of the R10 is somewhat problematic. I try and follow the directions but even then it is not clear to me whether the data I am seeing is correct or if their is an alignment issue. It would be nice to have a laser pointer type light coming out of the front of the device which would be pointed at the ball so you knew when the Rq0 was correctly aligned.

Interpreting the results?
on October 4, 2023
Posted by: Rpeck
Not yet attuned to getting the results interpreted and what the various codes mean . 2L, 0L etc. Where is that information explained?

Very good launch monitor with mostly accurate data
on October 4, 2023

Very good launch monitor for the price. It does have some issues with spin, particularly spin axis The spin axis issue is most noticed in playing courses where you hit on the toe or heal of the driver and R10 does not handle the gear effect.

Just what I wanted
on October 7, 2023
Posted by: Bancguy
After my R10 arrived I followed the recommended way to set it up and started hitting in to my net. I love that it gives the same results as the Golf Galaxy equipment where I started taking lessons.
I just took up golf again after my retirement and I can listen to the recommendations my instructor gave me after a lesson and can quickly see if my club path and attack angle are where they should be. I haven’t had it to the range yet, only into my net. I really like.

Easy to use and accurate (as far as I can tell)
on October 12, 2023
Posted by: GarageGolfSetUp
I've only had time to use it a couple of times but I have really enjoyed it. Side note I suck at golf. I've really enjoyed being able to get feedback on my club face on strike, it's help my "impressive slice". Played hometown hero and my score was consistent with what I normally get. Looking forward to finishing my garage set up and playing through window.

Great Tool

I bought after seeing a friend using theirs and this little machine works just as described. You have enough feedback data to make practice sessions much more significant. Well done Garmin.
