Garmin Approach R10 Golf Launch Monitor & Indoor Simulator (with 1-Year FREE Garmin Golf Membership)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I’ve had this R10 for about 2 months. It is a great buy. It gives lots of information to help with your swing and game. My only negative is when you are chipping from 15 yards or closer it does not always read. Sometimes takes multiple tries and end up hitting more than 15 yards to get it to read. Otherwise it is excellent

For the cost, this is definitely a great value. Easy to set-up, easy to use, and the data returned is accurate and very helpful. I use it every time I practice at the range and it has really helped me improve my swing.

When I purchased My R 10 I looked at a lot of reviews and watched a lot of Youtubers. I knew it had some flaws, but according to all that I saw, I thought it would do a lot better. I’ve tried everything. I thought it would give me some good readings, but as it turns out can’t rely on it almost at all if you’re a better player, do not get this. You need to move up to something better if you’re someone just playing around and trying to get better, I guess it could help but if you’re trying to really dial in your irons, don’t bother it’s not reliable wish I would’ve just put the money into a better launch monitor just couldn’t afford it. Hopefully, I can sell it and maybe find something better. I wish I could tell you that it was better than it is, but I’m not gonna lie. My name is David Payne. Thank you very much. Good luck.

Since I have been using the R10 I have found the things that can affect the ball like wind is really off. A 10 mile an hour wind will not knock the ball off 50 yards at times. Also when it is into it drops yardages by 30 to 60 yards. Also landing on the green even if it isn’t in the 2 circles doesn’t mean a person will 3 putt. The better handicap players rarely 3 putt and average may 3 putt 1 0r 2 times at most in a round.

This is very accurate I was impressed on how well it picked up the speed of the shot.

I have had an indoor net for several years. Practice sessions with it only helped in knowing if I had made solid contacts with the ball. No idea how good the flight was or where the ball would end up. The R10 seemed to be a reasonably priced tool to help close this information gap and for the most part does that. I don't know how accurate the data is but it's probably good enough to give my practice sessions some value and guide my swing adjustments. I found "Awesome Golf Simulator" app to be better than the Garmin app for data accuracy.

When it comes to affordable golf simulators this is as good as it gets. I love being able to take it to the range and get real time feedback right away. The data is all extremely accurate and I’m able to make adjustments right away.

Best golf aid I've purchased. Works seamless with Android phone. Will help dial in your carry and total distances

I purchased the Garmin R10 three weeks ago, and I am very pleased with it ! I added the GSpro software, and the numbers appear to be very accurate, to my on course numbers. This unit is a nice little unit for the money. Thanks Garmin !

The Garmin R10 is a great piece of tech. Reads the ball well and holds a great charge. Things that keep it from 5 stars is: the mount would be better if it snapped in rather than attach by magnet. Second the single button for power, paring and wake up. I'd prefer a power switch or a separate button. It takes getting used to to power on and off.

My range you hit into water with very minimal markers for distance. Simple setup and very easy to use.

I haven't had it long but it seems pretty accurate. I am going to get the subscription after I move in a few months and see if that makes it even better.

The R10 monitor can be used by 99% of the people that play golf. The other 1% are teachers who may need additional metrics. Otherwise spending more money is probably a waste. The only thing I really need from the r10 to include a way to put during a game simulation. It's easy to setup at home and the range. Actually looking forward to any R10 Version 2 updates that might be on the horizon.
