I have hit about a thousand balls so far and it is great to work on my swing and iron gapping. I did purchase the Titleist RCT balls and they do make a difference. Have not tried the virtual courses yet, mainly cause the reviews say it does not have a Landscape mode.
The R10 has exceeded my expectations! Extremely easy to set up and the plethora of data is accurate. I've used it at my local driving range and while hitting into my practice net set up at home. Pleasantly surprised at all the different modes. The garmin golf app has been good. I also use the Awesome Golf Simulator app with my R10.
I have been using this device for two months and at least 20 sessions. With proper alignment the feedback from this device is constructively instructive. Spin, face angle, club angle, launch angle, club speed, ball speed, etc. Benchmark your start numbers and work to improve at a reasonable ‘greatest economy on earth’ at 20% inflation this device stayed the course in price. A real bargain for me.
I first bought the Rapsodo MLM and it worked fine. But, I had two issues with it. Our driving range faces where the sun come up so I had a hard time seeing my iphone sitting on the Rapsodo, and then after a while my iPhone overheated. With the R10 my iPhone is attached to my golf bag with a sun shield over it. In fact I use my iPad instead of my iPhone attached to my golf bag for the R10. Now I have a much bigger screen to view my shots. I take the R10 every time to my driving range now.
I was a little worried about getting this because it is a few years old and thought it might not have the best technology. But I have been very impressed with the accuracy and consistency of this product. I would definitely recommend of you are on the fence. The app is not the greatest but there are several other simulation software programs available to use
I've had this a little over a month and It definitely does what I need. I primarily bought it for driving range like practice and simulator fun in my garage. Primarily to keep my swing in shape and to give me and my boys some fun things to do. I took it to my local Trackman to test its accuracy and it was mostly spot on. The distances were within 1-3 yards. Let and right it was a little different but definitely close enough I can see an accurate shot shape. I'm looking forward to using it on a real range this summer and think its going to help me dial in what I need to work on. Glad I bought it...100%
Not sure how accurate it is. I've used it now for about three weeks and keep getting different readings. at times it won't record my shot. it's pretty touchy.
