Great tool

Purchased this device a little more than a month ago. Very useful when I am on the range. Along with the app, I have data that can be used to look at my golf swing.

Great, Once You Figure It Out
on May 10, 2024
Posted by: TL Burris
Owned the device for approximately two weeks, don’t have an actual indoor setup yet, so using a net and hitting mat at first. Had a good bit of trouble with it not picking up shots so researched and found examples of people trying different options but almost all had a grass mat in front of the hitting mat. I bought turf to use for now and placing the net 7’ in front, the simulator 7’ behind, it is now tracking 95% of the shots reliably. There are still a few misses but 3 out of 35+ isn’t too bad. Also recommend getting the stabilizing stand to ensure the device is level.
Decided to go with Awesome Golf right now, bought the lifetime membership and use the range stats often. I have a 9.5 GHIN right now, and found that it really helped me understand a number of things I was struggling to figure out. Playing today, I had a 13 shot improvement on the same course I butchered a couple days ago; maybe luck but I took the work from the simulator sessions to the course and loved the results, even had distance improvements. I plan to learn more about the stats and how they can improve my game further, and we’re already researching what it will take to build a full indoor setup with the screen and projector. We’ll consider the e6 app once we have that in place so we can play courses I may never get to play in real life.
Couldn’t be happier with the purchase!

Bought it two weeks ago still learning how to work all the functions but the range function has been great and It’s really helping me dial in my yardages on all my clubs

Low quality device
on May 12, 2024
Posted by: Garmin r10
I used my Garmin R10 in my backyard hitting net daily for 3 weeks. Very disappointed with the device. It provided very inaccurate distances for all my irons and woods. I meticulously set up the Garmin per Garmin videos/instructions, but yardage was consistently off by 20 to 30 yards. I even purchased the expensive Titleist RCT balls to hit, but no difference in results than with my regular golf balls.

Very inaccurate
on May 13, 2024
Posted by: GG401
Was very disappointed with this product, purchased it last month and used it into a net, and at a range a few times. In all cases the distances and overall shot shapes were inaccurate. Has reading my pitching wedge as 90 yards when the actual was 120, and my 5 iron as 140 when then actual was 180. On top of that it was telling me I was drawing the ball when actually I was hitting a fade. The price for this item was very attractive, and easy to set up. unfortunately It proved to be to inaccurate for my use.

It’s been frustrating
on May 17, 2024
Posted by: TimDav1s
I bought a week ago. It worked great for 3 days, but now every time you bring the club back the light goes red, and it doesn’t read the shot. I’ve tried everything, completely removing device, reconnecting, calibrating, everything yet still have the same problem. Did I get a lemon?

R10-Monitor
on May 24, 2024
Posted by: qwerty
Great, easy to use, set up and run. Great battery life. Fantastic instant feedback on club-path, face-angle, ...
Issues with distance on long clubs (driver, 3-wood...), also some issues with wedges on distances when hitting targets that I shot with my range-finder.
Also -- the courses are great to play.... but.... with long-distances off, can be a bit counter-productive (deflating) because I know I hit a tee shot ~230 yards (to a target on the range) and the game shows a 160-yard shot (I know wind, lie, elevation, ... but come on now).
A software update to address the distance would be great.
