Initial use impressions
on April 8, 2025
Posted by: MarkedMan
I used for the first time Saturday, primarily to learn how to operate it with my phone, etc. In short order, I managed to get it aligned and placed within the detection parameters. After that, it performed as designed. The graphics in the app displayed very clearly and legibly on my phone screen. I didn't have a chance to really determine the accuracy of the stats versus what my eyes, range markers, and feel were telling me. But I sense that all will be good. Happy with the prospects for dialing in my clubs.

Problems with Indoor Use
on April 10, 2025
Posted by: BarryC
The Garmin R10 is a product that you should only inside. Too many issues in trying to set-up in a basement or garage. Many things can interfere with how the doppler works like metal, concrete, heating system, and other environmental conditions. You have to play around with heights, aligment, distances to the net and R10, and others to make it work. It does work pretty well at the range or outside. The range software that comes with the unit is not very good, so you have to buy Awesome golf or other software to make the metrics work even when hitting indoors or outdoors. I am still using the R10 for outdoor use, but bought another unit for inside use.

Great small monitor

I’ve now used it a few times and keep getting surprised how accurate it is. It has a miss read here and there, but all in all it’s great. Very simple to set up.

Used for a few years and it is awesome. In combination with the application I have 1000’s of shot records to review.

Approach R10
on April 15, 2025

This is a replacement to the first one. This one seems to work a little better. The biggest issue is on short chips, the R10 doesn't seem to pick them up very well; chips around 20 yds. This one still has some issues with missing shots, although I think all launch monitors miss shots now and again no matter what the cost.

First Use
on April 16, 2025
Posted by: CarolinaBoy
Since I have only used it once and was learning how to set up, this is a basic review. I found the physical setup to be very easy. I was at an outside range, yet the unit picked up my shots very well. They were displayed very clearly on my phone screen. I haven't used enough yet to comment on accuracy of distance, etc, but am confident it will be as accurate as a Trackman in a bay hitting off mats that don't quite replicate hitting off turf.

For the Price it's Great

I have used this now for 3 months, everything works as it should. My only complaint is on short chip shots, getting no reads. Other than that very happy.

Im extremely impressed with this unit, I have been using almost daily the past 2 weeks until our local course opens up and once you find the sweet spot with alignment its really really good.
