Little bit of a curve but still like it

Suits my needs at this stage of play. Easy to take to range. Positioning took some time (and an alignment stand and a small height riser) to make it catch my shots at the range. Would really like "slow mo" added to video capabilites.

I've used the R10 a few times now, hitting into a net, and I feel I'm getting accurate results. It's easy to set up, navigate the menus and options and even download the data.

I bought the Garmin R10 about a month ago. I set mine up for outdoors hitting into a net. Initially I thought the yardage was short. As I kept using it, the statistics captured allowed me to better understand how to tweak my swing to minimize pulls and pushes. Then my yardage went significantly higher, which seemed to translate onto the course. As other users have commented, there are times that the R10 goes to sleep even before I start my sessions. Although frustrating, the R10 eventually wakes up and I have always been able to record my driving range practice sessions. I believe the R10 has really improved my game and am glad that I purchased it.

I bought this to use in my basement in the off-season. It works fine at the range but I cannot get it to work at all in my basement despite consulting with Garmin customer service. The readings it gives are ridiculously off. Attached is a screenshot of the data it gave for a well struck sand wedge shot. I know my swing speed was not 159 mph! And if it was, I'm sure it would have gone farther than 38 yards carry. 5 stars for range but 0 stars for indoors.

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. Thanks Jenny
I have been playing golf for less than a year and the Garmin has helped me tremendously to better my contact and my overall confidence in playing the game. It would have very difficult for me to be able to purchase a more pricey launch monitor so the R10's price is also of great value.

I use this for practice and gives a ton of analytics for improving game while knowing what you're working on. Doesn't pick up higher swing speeds all the time but is very accurate.
Great product if you don't have access to a trackman quite often. I have trackman I can use at work but when I'm at my house it's great for working on my game.
