Just mail the unit over to me guys, I'll put it through it's paces see if it works well in Australia 🤣

I think this is totally worth it at the price it's set. Be great for winter golf here in KC. I wouldn't really be worried about "accurate" numbers when buying this, more for entertainment and keep the body loose during the cold months here. One thing we can always rely on with you guys is HONESTY! Appreciate it!! Great video! Keep it up gents!

I’ve had an R10 since September and love it. I only used home tee hero for a few months as I go between that and e6. I’d like to try the Awesome Golf app that I see some of the other youtubers using with it. I have noticed that the numbers are more accurate when I spend a little extra time on setup and confirming that the alignment is correct. I 3D printed a stand to help make sure it’s not only aligned correctly, but perfectly level as well.

I've had my R10 for almost 2months now. I've tested it at a indoor sim with a Uneekor EyeXO and its almost bang on with yardages. Although when using in my basement with low unfinished ceilings it always reads short 20ish yards. Several have complained about this on the Garmin forums. Once it gets warmer out i'll move to my garage and outdoor range. So far its pretty decent!

Best “tech” review I’ve seen in a while! Just ordered one!

Just purchased a R10 and can’t wait. Thanks for the great video analysis

Great review. I got one when they first came out last year, I had two gripes…1. The portrait only mode; and 2. Outdoors, the setup is a PITA unless you buy some after market aiming assistance devices…that little red line on top is too short to get it as accurate as it needs to be…I would usually set it up as good as I could, hit an intential draw or fade, and see if it read it correctly. Most of the times it was and you have to re-adjust. If you’re hitting to different targets that are in different directions, it winds up chewing up a lot of your range time…other than that, I loved the unit. I wound up going with the Mevo…I don’t get the fancy sim stuff (don’t use it anyway), or curvature of the ball, but it works great and since it doesn’t do curvature, you just plop it down behind you 6 feet and start whacking balls…

I’m currently looking and doing a ton of research about the Garmin R10. After watching this, I feel confident in my choice with buying one! I’m just on my second year golfing and am certainly not willing to spend 20+K for a trackman, nor am I going to ever become a professional golfer🤣 The R10 is a perfect fit for me! Thank you for your insight and help!

Was hoping to see you guys review the R10! Hoping to pick one of these up this year to use at the range to help with my distances. Also, congrats on 60k guys!!

I watched so many of these videos to see about purchasing the r10 and by far this is the best one

I have one and love it! Indoor golf in the winter in Michigan and all of my friends love it also. It helps your game unless maybe your a scratch golfer....and let's be honest not many of us are scratch golfers!

Had mine for about a month and love it. I have compared this to our GC Hawk and there is only a slight difference in the numbers with woods and the drivers on most shots. On almost all iron shots the difference is only 1-2 yards. Comparing a $800 unit to a $25,000 unit and seeing those results, I have ZERO regrets buying the R10!

I highly doubt that your numbers are that close. Why would anyone even spend the extra money if they weren’t more accurate? My buddy has one and the numbers are decent but I promise you it isn’t giving you nearly as accurate of numbers as a GC Quad would.

I always bring my r10 to work and set it up while we are playing on our GC Hawk. I agree, it’s crazy to think about seeing the price point difference but that’s exactly why I’m so happy with it. The test for me will be when I can actually get this unit out on the driving range or the course and actually see real life ball flight compared to the r10 numbers.

Great review and great product! Hopefully i could hit my new driver if I win it into this simulator 😉. Keep it up!

I’ve had one since release. The spin is about 1000 -2000 rpm high if used indoors or hitting into a net outdoors. If you take it to the range and balls are flying it’s pretty dead on.

Good review like the stack system I was going to get a tempo trainer but going to look into this and want to get the r10 for my backyard net. I have a 10 foot wide by 10 high by 20 foot deep net.

Nice job Gentlemen. A lot of helpful info. and I'm thinking I should consider a garage range. Thanks !

Pretty cool. I don’t have the space for an indoor simulator, but if I did this seems like I could get lost in it for hours. Just playing course after course after course.

Great video. I've been wondering how that golf course mode looks and plays. I've heard that a recent update gives you the landscape mode now instead of just vertical. I'm in!

Seems like a pretty solid unit!!

Finally was able to purchase one ,can’t wait to get it, maybe you guys can do a video of how to connect it to a projector for us who never have? Thanks

Would you guys be willing to do a range video of this product with numerous shots with different clubs?

portability is probably the least important factor in my opinion. You're usually carrying a huge golf bag with it anyways. And most people will get it for indoors. I got the Mevo+ and I'm glad I paid a bit extra because the precision is higher and the built-in "simulator" is pretty basic. And I can't stand subscription based stuff. (Mevo+ doesn't have any. But E6 and others do sadly) But I applaud the value for the price as it help make it available for normal joes like us. great review and I like that you highlight the limitations unlike some other channel that just read the pamphlet..

I is love this video as I was looking into this product Love the channel Also could I elegy the driver

Good video as always. You guys going to test Mevo +?!?

The R10 is best bang for buck - I’ve had mine since Nov and use in a 3m x 3.6m golf cage with net and a short throw projector onto a 1.6m X 1m screen mounted high above the impact zone - works great after dusk and accurate…yes spin reads a little high and overall distances seem a tad under to real world but no launch monitor is bang on. My only ask would to be able to connect the R10 directly to my laptop rather than use my iPhone. E6 is great but I get much higher graphic resolution On my laptop. It’s A pain to have to use the R10 to iPhone to laptop to projector set up…BTW I spoke with a pro who uses Trackman in coaching and he says even the high end units struggle with high club swing speeds

I use my R10 with my backyard golf cage. I have the alignment stand to level the R10. I calibrate the R10 before swinging. I can’t get good accuracy with the Driver or 3 wood. Driver can be 40 yds short of my normal on course length. 3 Wood is 20 yds short. Hybrids are within +/- 10 yds. Any tips to get this more accurate. I did download the latest software update. Quite frustrating when playing longer courses on Home Tee Hero. I’ve read this common theme on Garmin forums. Advice ? Help wanted.....

The unit was slightly below the mat. Our mat is about 2” high and the Garmin worked without a problem.

Sold mine day after 1 day of use. Indoors inside a metal shed, it was garbage (had more than the minimum distance required). Coughed up for a Skytrak and love it.

Which mat is that in this video?

If it doesn’t measure spin inside, how is it reporting on direction and curve?

This would be so cool to have. Bring it to the range and actually be able to work on wedges properly. Not guessing yardages

I just bought a used Garmin R10 after waiting for over 5 months for a new one. I find that the distances for my Driver/3 wood/hybrid are 10-20 yards shorter than I normally hit both on the range and inside. However, my iron shots are pretty accurate. I have a low trajectory, so that might be the issue with distances on my woods. I recommend it (if you can find one) due to the low cost and the fun of playing basically any course you want with home town hero I enjoyed your video keep up the good work.

We actually got ours back in the summer if 2021.

This thing should be marketed more as an at home game. Something fun to do with your friends but not as a serious tool. Had one for a few months. I can say that with wedges and lower irons, it's fairly accurate. For higher swing speeds, it's much less reliable. Especially when it comes to the shape of the shot. the carry numbers are pretty good but the shape gets real crazy for something like a 2 iron or driver. I've tested it on the range. Not a bad option for the money but there's a reason the price difference between this and the serious units is so great.

I ordered and paid for a R10 on December 1. I'm still waiting for it. The latest projection is sometime in April, but they've already moved the delivery date back twice, so it won't surprise me to get another notice that it will be delayed further. I had built a large tent, with a golf net and a propane heater, so that when the unit arrived I could play simulated golf and hit balls with some idea as to ball direction over the winter. Too late for that now. I recommend to your subscribers that, if they're considering a Garmin R10, they wait until they're back in stock or look at other options. Otherwise, it may be several months or longer before they receive their unit.

Hi I am thinking of buying one ,I have the g80 now and use that mainly when I am playing a round at the golf course but wanted something better for my outdoor net .With the g80 I can play any golf course without paying a subscription would I have to pay a subscription with this to play a virtual round 1-4 players ?

The biggest fail I've seen on it is clubhead/ball speed. The clubface angle and path seem to be pretty close, but it's not giving me anything close to an accurate ball flight when it shows my driver club head speed at 30 mph. I understand that I'm not going to get GC Quad level accuracy from a $600 monitor, but it's not giving me any useable data. I've tried setting it up indoors and outdoors in the parameters (distance from the ball/net) and kept it level, so I can't find any user error that I can chalk it up to. I took it to the range to see how the real world ball flight compared to what the monitor showed, and it wasn't even close. I'd hit a good, straight 160 yard 7 iron and the monitor would show a 90 yard duck hook. Anyone have any advice? I've made sure the firmware is updated. I got better results from one of those electronic Optishot pads.
