Accurate and quick responses!
on March 23, 2025
Posted by: Bobe20
Owned for about a month.
Pros: responsive (quickly gives data), accurate, all in one mobility, great monitor/screen, easy to use, literally plugged it in less than 10 min from unboxing I was already on practice range! Love the "aligning" feature that displays the ball being in the monitoring zone.
Cons: hometee hero subscription required to play various courses, statistics on clubs aren't cumulative/saved into "my bag"/summarized. Minor bug issues (reverting back to a previous view option dissapeared until making a new guest visitor profile)

Overall fantastic product excited to expand the sim setup.

So far it has been better than expected. Very easy to use and has been fairly accurate. A couple of glitches, but nothing that the old "on/off" IT answer didn't fix.

Really helpful with very accurate measurements. I put it side by side with Trackman and the readings were nearly identical. Love the accuracy, ease of use and access to thousands of courses as a simulator. Screen is large and very clear. Highly recommend!

Great product

Everything is amazing - super responsive and quick. Large size isn’t an issue for me as the screen is easily readable. Only frustration - using outside and setting alignment is a little quirky and requires patience. Otherwise - very satisfied

Overall an excellent product

I bought about a month ago with the understanding all my local courses would be available. Turns out there are many courses that are available in other Garmin products that aren't yet available in the R50. Once this issue is resolved I'd give this 5 out of 5 stars. Setup is easy and the best part is walking into my sim and being up and running 3 seconds later. Screen is excellent and customization options are phenomenal.

Easiest launch monitor I have every used. Coolest feature is when ball is in right position light turns green. No guessing.
