I’ve had this for a couple of months and have used it a handful of times. First few times I was convinced this thing was off. After comparing with range finder I have found that it is pretty accurate and range balls are trash! Well worth the cost. Gives me insight to my swing characteristics that I didn’t know I needed!

I love my launch monitor. I built an outdoor range with a 10 x 7 net. With the R10, I’m able to practice all my shots. I synced the R10 with my iPad and have it mounted at eye level across from me. It makes it easy to see all my shots. I also subscribed to Home Tee Hero. There’s still a few kinks in the course software for Home Tee Hero but it’s a fun way to add to my practice routine. I would definitely recommend getting a stand for the R10 and an alignment stick to help align the R10 with each use. I’ve also taken it to the range to compare the results from the R10 with my ball flight in the range. The flight trajectory and distance are pretty accurate compared to my actual shots. I’m very happy with my purchase. I also have the CT-10 sensors on all my clubs. It would be great if the sensors would work while I’m using the R10 so that it automatically detects which club I’m hitting with.

This device is not accurate when I use my driver. It barely stays connected to my IPhone. I would not purchase it.

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
The unit is great for practice and working on your swing at the range. In this price range I can't complain. The only issue is that it does not accurately pickup Driver, Woods and long irons. The distance is roughly 10% off when shooting with a laser. My indoor golf Sim setup is probably closer to 20% off. Still a lot of fun though and great for spin and club face analysis.

I just got the R-10 as a gift from my wife. I purchased the complete hitting bay and from there, it's off to the golf course in my garage. So far so good. I have only used it a few times but I think it's pretty accurate regarding distance and L/R fade/draw info. I did find that it had some trouble with shorter chip/pitch shots but the more I used it the better it responded. Not sure if it was me or the R-10.
