Garmin Approach R10 Golf Launch Monitor & Indoor Simulator

Received as an early Father’s Day gift. I had viewed every video regarding the R10, read every review online, and talked to a pro at our club who uses one in club fitting prior to asking for one and am very pleased with my selection. I have only used it at the club’s range and am impressed with its capabilities and the data collected. I’m seriously considering building a practice simulation bay centered around the use of the R10.

I bought the R10 and then realized I cannot add additional profiles so I can play with my kids. Other than that it is an amazing tool.

Would NOT recommend this product. It has to be lined up absolutely perfectly to work and even then it barely picks up your swing. For $600 it is not worth your money at all. Very hard to use

One month in and no regrets, very accurate and a great way to practice at home. Really great for my home sim.

For less than the cost of four one-hour golf lessons, the R-10 gives feedback on every swing during every practice session. Feedback is the breakfast of champions and R-10 provides feedback with every practice swing. For me, i want to get feedback on face and path to improve my ball contact. The R-10 tells me when my swing thoughts/changes/tweaks are effective. Using it all day every day. Simple to set up. More than accurate enough for my 20ish handicap.

I've had this and the mlm2pro. I find the mlm2pro to be more accurate, particularly with shot shaping, but the overall experience on this unit is much better and is overall quite a bit cheaper. Because of those two things im keeping this one. Its super easy to connect and get started and play. Thats a HUGE plus. Haven't tried RCT balls yet, might try those later. I use it mainly for a garage simulator, but have also taken it on the range to check how the simulator compares. Its definitely more accurate on the range. Overall the user experience is good even if accuracy could be a little better. For the price, not bad.

This unit is well worth the money..ez setup and very accurate..I would like to see an option for using Scicore or Almost golf "foam" balls. Maybe an update on the software and that is the only reason I did not give it a 5 .

Has been great so far. I use it in the winters to keep my game steady in the off season. Read pretty accurately most of the time.

Fantastic Entry Level Ball Launcher for anyone interested in getting into the Golf Simulator world. Tons of information given by every app paired with it and even more accurate when paired with RCT balls (but not required). Highly recommended!!

I got this launch monitor for my outdoor driving range...and it was out of the box and ready to go in less than 10 min. It works as advertised and has lots of measurements handy to the avg. golfer. If you need more practice but just have a hard time going to course, this monitor gives you everything you need to "see" how you hit the ball...swing speed, ball flight and club head deviations/angle of attack. Great value for the price...I would recommend.

I had another monitor which did not give me path and face angle data. I've used this for several weeks and watched a number of youtube video's on optimizing it's performance. I use rct balls and found the ball must be teed exactly on line at the recommended distance to get decent results. The garmin software app is OK but one of the videos I watched recommended another app to connect it to that shows all the results on one screen in large enough font to read from 6-8 feet away, along with video of the projected flight of the ball.

I take this to the range almost every time. It has definitely helped me range my bag. Good Product that is easy to set up. The app is very easy to interface with at the range. It is a little wonky to review data, but does the job. I have not paid for any of the subscriptions or courses, but I imagine it would be great for a sim. I only use it at the range.

I use it with an indoor simulator and it works well for driver to pitching wedge. If I hit my driver so the ball skims the ground it will only register like 20 yards or so. I know from the hit that the ball would have gone 60-80 yards, so it’s off there. But the really frustrating thing is, around the greens it doesn’t see my gap wedge and up. So I have to use my pitching wedge only.

This is the first time I used it at the driving range. Captures lots of data on each shot but the data is highly sensitive to having the unit perfectly aligned with the shot target. Video capture is questionable. Only seems to capture late in the swing when ball contact has already occurred, therefore of no value.

Constant connection issues forced me to sell my R10. Having a small fan in the same room would cause it to drop connection, sometimes even a crowded room with a lot of cell phone interference would also disrupt the connection. I did appreciate the wide array of options to use (e.g. Awesome Golf, GSPro, the Garmin app itself). I would suggest a wifi option or maybe even a hardwired option for future upgrades. But for now I am switching to the Square launch monitor and am hoping for better results.

Love everything about it. Been using it for about a month. I shot 4 under on awesome golf sim yesterday. So yea it works wonders.

Been using my approach for about a month, virtual courses, are great for at home play. The data you get off the data tables will help you find things to improve. Amazing tool!

To be able to get real feedback in my backyard has been amazing for my game!

It works great with awesome golf all the other platforms are too frustrating ( Gspro) the API does not stay connected and e6 the data is ridiculously wrong

Have had for 2 weeks and seems very accurate to my normal club lenghts and shot shapes. First time setting up a home similator and for the money could not be happier. Next week adding E6 Connect!!!
