5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of bang for the buck
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2024
It is not a high end sim, but for the price it is excellent. Easy to use. I was impressed with the distance accuracy. The main thing I had to figure out was how to export data which turns out to be super easy - just click the "Share" icon then you get a detailed CSV file that you can analyze o your own.

It misses some shots, does not work offline and maybe distances are a little off sometimes. Who cares! I am 120s golfer trying to get below tripple digits, hitting into net close to 1000 balls a week. The driving range has been epic fun and helpful in getting me to close my clubface. Day 3, still a smile. Was better for me than a PS5. Stoked to learn what else it can do.

5.0 out of 5 stars 11 month Review from a +3 handicap
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2023
After 11 months using this product inside and outside, comparing data side by side to Trackman at Club Champion, this product is more than worth its price and is nearly identical to trackman #’s. When using the simulator indoors, I highly encourage the Titleist RCT golf balls as it accurately tracks spin due to the reflective layer underneath the balls cover. If you don’t have these balls, it’s an algorithm to estimate spin which can be misleading to true spin numbers. If you’re trying to fit yourself for a new driver, you need those golf balls. Without these balls, my spin was estimated to be around 4,000 RPM which i know is inaccurate. Once i put the balls in play, my spin dropped to my expected 1900-2200 number at 114 mph club head speed.

I’m using the r10 with the E6 simulator software and it’s fantastic. The interface is already built in the garmin app, you just need a computer that can run the software. I’ve used awesome golf and it wasn’t realistic enough for me. E6 is LIDAR based and has a yearly subscription that is reasonable. I’m using a gaming computer and have no issues. Again, the RCT balls accurately track spin, even on chips via the E6 software. It wasn’t tracking this on chips (showed 0rpm spin) until I put these balls in place.

My yardages are spot on to my exact carry numbers. I don't ever focus on total distance as that is always misleading for any simulator. I found that optimal indoor lightning is absolutely necessary for the simulator to capture each swing. You need ample room (about 8 feet) for the garmin to be able to capture the RCT ball spin #. The best thing about the garmin unit is ability to modify elevation, humidity, and temperature within the garmin app (if using E6 software you can only modify elevation). This is HUGE! Golfers underestimate all three of these factors when playing golf.

There are a lot of weekend hacks on youtube that can't use launch monitors to their fullest capacity, and I can genuinely say this is a great unit.

I feel you can benefit from this unit and would highly recommend if you’re a data golfer like myself.

You have to like the price of this device and it is good Garmin is finally getting them back in stock.
Now that I have used the product outdoors at the range I am updating my review and have added another star. The R10 works very well as long as you take the time to set it up properly which is true of all launch monitors. I did not have any other monitors to check the results but had a friend use a range finder to check distances and they were very close. I did not pay for the subscription yet but I believe it could be used to simulate play at a course in Home Tee Hero with good results.

I also want COMMEND the product support team they have worked with to attempt to resolve the issues I have had using the monitor indoors. Using the Garmin Approach R10 indoors returns data well under what I should be seeing, by at least 20%. I am an older golfer and the one time I had access to a TrackMan it clocked my swing speed between 65 & 70mph so maybe the algorithms used in R10 penalize slower swings compared to others. If so, I can hope a firmware or app update fixes addresses this. Another shortcoming I have found is how many missed shots there are when the clubs speeds drop below 30mph. I think that it tries to allow for a pre-swing waggle and as a result ignores short, slow chip like swings. Even below 40mph some the data that is calculated can be missing but it usually captures most shots above 30mph. This could really impact the ability to use this device in an indoor simulation as chipping would be much more difficult. The R10 has no way to capture putting so in the simulation it assigns a number of putting strokes based on distance from the pin, I knew this ahead of my purchase and have no issue with it. (I forgot to check this on the range so not sure if it is an indoor only thing or something I am doing wrong, the YouTubers don't seem to have this issue) If I get that fixed it will be 5 stars for sure.

On the plus side other than distance and carry being short, the data the R10 spits out is consistent and appears to be correct based on what I am seeing while using it. Shots that go to the right of my target are reported as that direction, same for pulled shots that go to the left. On the driving range app it is a little difficult to tell if there is a draw or a slice, just that it was offline and by how much. Since it is radar-based lighting has no effect, so using it in a dimly lit garage should not be a problem or affect the data since technically you should be able to use it in the dark.

In the end I am glad that I bought it and will continue to use it during practice. At this price point I doubt there is a better product for the mid to high handicapper looking for feedback on how they struck the ball. If you buy one make sure you update the firmware as that can make a huge difference depending on when the device was built.

And once again product support has been excellent and continues to be quite responsive.

First, it is not perfect! But if you are looking for something affordable and easy to use that will give you great feedback on your swing mechanics then this is what you want. I use this indoors and outdoors. As long as you are the proper distance behind the ball and give it at least 10 feet in front to get data it is pretty darn good. The Garmin app is mediocre at best. I purchased the Amazing Golf App to use with it. It was a little more to get the lifetime license but well worth it.
