Garmin r10
on November 8, 2023
Posted by: Cal golfer
I bought this 3 weeks ago and I’m loving it. I always wanted a launch monitor but it was out of budget for me. Thanks to Garmin for the R10. Anyone can afford to have one. I use mine outside with a net. I place it 8 feet between ball and impact screen and 6 feet between ball and device. It works perfectly each time. Make sure to recalibrate each time you use it. I can now play any golf course in the world anytime I want to at home. No more expensive bucket of balls.

Working Well

Working well so far. Learning how to use the info on the software. Seems to always show distances that are shorter than in real life. Trying to figure that out. But good product.

Fun but needs more features

Enjoy it. Little cumbersome getting set up. If there was a feature that allowed you to see what the Garmin radar is seeing it would help you eliminate unwanted feedback.

Consistency issues
on November 5, 2023
Posted by: Chuck H.
After much reviewing and comparing, I bought this launch monitor to use during the upcoming Winter/Tourist season in South Florida. When the tourists invade our local courses it becomes harder to play during the week and impossible on weekends. My thought was this is a good time to start practicing at home. While the launch monitor is impressive at its price point with its features it’s extremely inconsistent outside hitting into my Spornia net. It only picks up one out of every three drives on average and sometimes even less than that. I’ve tried everything including adjusting the height/distance of the R10, changing backgrounds, using different balls and even putting metal stickers on them with no luck with consistency. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to continue to play with this over the next few months due to the unreliability in recording my shots. I was also planning on having friends over and playing different courses throughout the world through the E6 app but that also has been an issue. I’ve only used it twice but it was consistently inconsistent in registering my shots both times.

Easy to set up and conveniently small

Love this. Small enough to keep in my bag so I have it at the driving range or away with an outdoor net setup. Purchased the Garmin trial for virtual courses but I mostly just use it for feedback. It's very accurate and has given me significant feedback to improve my game, more so than the instructor I worked with previously (who was great, I just appreciated this being on my own time). Highly recommend.

Everything You Need
on October 29, 2023

1. Easy to set up and use. With in a minute you can be hitting golf balls. Some PLMs are slow, difficult to initiate.
2. Compact size. Easy to carry around.
3. Great battery life. You can hit hundreds of golf balls and still have battery life.
4. More than enough technical date than you will need.
5. As accurate as PLMs get. Data is reliable enough to give you the feedback you are looking for.
6. Indoor/ outdoor usable. Had no issues with either option.
7. No special golf balls to use. Works with all golf balls and accurate.
8. No subscription (annual charges) to access data.
9. Game play is available. Don’t really use this feature but has many differ game play options. (Some require subscriptions).
10. Does not require too much distance to use. I hit into an outdoor net and device unit to the ball and ball to the net distance has never been an issue.
