Thank you for your review and experience with the Approach R10. We would like to discuss this further over email. If you would please email us at product.support@garmin.com.
Purchased it to help improve my ball striking. I needed to correct my club face at impact. The Garmin R10 helped tremendously. Well worth the investment. I can’t wait to dive into some of the other features.
We are learning to play golf. I got the R10 mainly so we could practice at home in our yard. It's fantastic! We are able to not just work on our skills, but play against each other as well. We love playing the virtual St. Andrews Old Course- it even occasionally has howling winds speeds just to keep it as authentic as possible. We even took the R10 to Topgolf to compare and get information that they don't supply-like swing speed. I believe the subscription boasts that includes more than 40,000 courses so you are likely to never be bored-unless you forget to charge the R10 or your phone. ;D
The R10 is a feature heavy marvel! I have found the device to be reliable, consistent, and downright entertaining! As relatively new golfers, my wife and I are very excited to use the measured and algorithmic data to refine our performance and move towards tangible improvements. We love the Garmin, especially when bundled with Awesome Golf!
I have used this device approximately 5-6 times. It appears to capture the ball impact appropriately 80% of time. Some of that 20% is probably less than ideal device placement. The audio read-out feature is nice.
Love it. simple and fast to set up with each use, just turn it on. the different driving range options are make it fun to practice. the swing capture feature is so helpful. highly recommend.
