Alignment & Distance
on January 18, 2023
Posted by: pagekiyo
I purchased the R10 2-weeks ago and have only used it afew times due to severe rain storms in California. I recently updated the R10 firm ware to 4.3 version, which has really improved the distance gap and the side spin has improved quite alot from the 2.03 firmware. It's very accurate with irons 7 thu SW.
Fairway woods and Driver seems to be off 8 to 15 yards but I'm still tweaking with it and once dry warmer temperatures return I'm sure everything will be fine. The side spin has been the most help to me improving my alignment addressing the ball. I'm really impressed overall and excited about playing the Golf courses. I use it outdoors for now.

Accuracy
on January 17, 2023
Posted by: KarlS
It is amazing how this small device is able to accurately determines distance of a golf shot. I am skeptical if it is seeing the draw(hook) or fade(slice). Every shot I hit is fairly straight and I know that sometimes I can put a lot of curve on the ball.

Amazing

I bought this a month ago and it is amazing. There are only a few times when it doesn't count the shot, especially when you shank it.

Works great except for driver
on January 17, 2023
Posted by: xxCKxx
I setup everything in my garage to Garmin specifications and everything works as expected except my driver. My driver only registers up to 225 yards but my 3-wood averages 240 yards on the r10. Typically my driver is 270 average on the course but it is not picking it up. Not sure why this is the case other than the ball is traveling too fast for the r10 to register.

Longer Distances seem to be a bit off
on January 17, 2023
Posted by: Bob Sal
Using the unit is very easy and for shorter distances it seem to be close to giving accurate distances. Maybe I am doing something wrong or maybe my unit is not properly calibrated but it appears to be less accurate as distances get longer. Please let me know if you have any suggestions / recommendations.

just okay
on January 16, 2023
Posted by: carter2307
i bought this about a month ago and when i first got it everything was ok and the second time i used it everything was going exactly how far i hit the ball and the other times i’ve used it everything is coming up about 15-20 yards shorter than normal. if it worked how it did the second time i used it i would give it a 5/5 stars but i would like to see it a bit more accurate. if it was around 5 yards off like it advertised then it would be okay but 15-20 yards is a lot and can mess up your game on course a lot because you think your hitting it a lot shorter than you actually are.

Great Value
on January 13, 2023

For the money its hard to beat this launch monitor, might not get every single shot every time but overall its a great piece of technology. Its helped me through a winter season and just be able to hit some balls without going to the range and have all the details of your swing data right in front of you on the app.

Great tool don’t hesitate
on January 13, 2023

Really good tool, best value for money launch monitor you can find. If you are hesitating don’t it is worth every penny. The only I would change/add is a little button with a laser so we can make sure it is aligned correctly. Other than that really good
