@@Brandon-youtube The radar unit may be accounting correctly for the lower launch angle. My understanding is that the spin numbers are way off (very high) with clubs that launch lower. The unit isn't reading the spin, therefore; it is causing the total yardage to be significantly off.

No the yardages are consistently short , it's like the new full swing KIT launch monitor which is 4k not $600 . They simply are just not very good unfortunately , if you are looking for accuracy which I think everyone should be then get a Bushnell launch pro ($2999.99) it's alot more obviously but zero comparison in accuracy

I can't wait until these are available again. I just started getting back into golf after about a year or so of not playing. This device looks amazing! Thank you for the great video review!

This Garmin would be great to have even though the numbers may not be quite as accurate as a device 10 times the cost. It would have been interesting to see your launch monitor numbers as a comparison.

"R10" - Great tool at an affordable price. Would make range time so much more productive for a little more than the price of a new driver. I love it.

Shame the flightscope wasn't kept on so you could compare the two when hitting shots. Maybe a follow up vid?

“R10”- Just watched video of you testing on the course as well. Looks like a great tool to for both beginners and experienced golfers. Me being a beginner this looks like a great device to help work in my swing and figure out my individual club distances without having to go to a driving range every time.

“R10” - Would love to give one of these a go!! The fact that it’s so compact is very appealing and the data feedback is great. Great product Garmin👍

R10 Wow, this is just what me and my husband need to improve our golf. Only been playing a year so help needed. Love your channel James.

"R10" I think the distances are fairly accurate on the course. When you were hitting the 5 iron in the bottom right it shows that power is reduced by 10% (not sure if that means ball speed or distance). Using distance that would mean your 5 iron in the fairway would have gone ~190 yards, which seems about right. Would be interesting to see this vs. flight scope.

@JBJHonez

i think it being in the rough is what is subtracting the 10% of the "recorded shot' because hitting out of the rough does cause less distance...depending on the lie of course

The R10 seems great, I would love to try it out, the range function looks great to identify the exact distance of each club in a visual fun way

R10 - would love this for practicing in the winter. Thanks for the opportunity James.

R10 - great video a very real and true comparison of the two products. For me the R10 would be a step up from the Garmin Truswing I use currently

Don’t know about the distances in the range session, but your 171 5 iron approach when you played the course had a 10% power reduction applied to simulate the rough. So the fairway distance was probably closer to 190 and then it took off 10% leaving 171.

Where was this “R10” last year!? I bought the G80 for fun into my net at home but this is what I was wishing for! Love the G80 on course though, very accurate gps…Garmin as always verified good products

"R10" For a guy like me, who spends his "golfing" time hitting into a net, this would be fantastic! Right now I can only judge how well I am striking the ball by the feel and sound. Would be nice to know how good my strike "really" is!!! Thanks Garmin and Thanks James!

Gets better with every update. Awesome product.

A track man or GC Quad is way out of my price range- this seems good enough for a mid handicapper like me. And the price isn’t that bad.

Your 5 iron shot also read shorter because your ball was in the rough and in the bottom right of the screen, you can see it reduces the distance where it says power -10% because of the lie in the rough. So, probably was a 188 strike on a normal lie and the R10 reduced the shot 10% to 171.

"R10" - great video, solid fair review. Nice to see a solid home setup doesn't need 5grand these days!

R10. Watching every day! Love it, James!

If this uses the same radar tech as adapted from the S80 I have found it does measure short indoors....outside on the range it is pretty spot on. I think its worth doing a comparison indoors / outdoors if you can.

James I have heard that the r10 usually plays short inside and is a little less accurate. I would love to see you test this outside and see if your distance numbers are a little further. Thanks!

@@remyd1984 GC2 doesnt read club head data. So I havent been able to compare that yet. If i were to make an educated guess.. path and angle of attack is relatively close but face angle at impact and sidespin are probably still a work in progress. Reason i say that is because it tends to have trouble picking up a draw and instead it reads as a slight push, may have some trouble reading the closure/release of the club head through impact. But - firmware updates as they collect data from users and feedback i am sure they will be able to improve the algorithm that calculates the club head data. IMO its going to be pretty exciting to see how well garmin can improve the unit with the data they collect.

@petegalindez9961

@@rhysbrown4858 That’s great news if they were able to improve the accuracy! 530 quid (or about $600 USD) is a great price if the data coming out of it is consistent and predictable. For example, I have a $250 PRGR that gives fairly spot on numbers for swing speed, ball speed, smash factor, and carry distance. It’s the club data I’m more interested in. So far, the reviews I’ve watched, the club data is not accurate at all. I’ve seen multiple instances where club path is off by huge numbers, or says the swing was from the inside when it was from the outside (compared side by side with a Trackman). That wouldn’t help someone like me who is working on swing path, face to path, AOA, etc. If they can’t produce consistent numbers (not necessarily 100% accurate), then it could be useful. For example, if the numbers are within 5% or something like that, whereas the GC Quad and Trackman are spot on or within 1%, then I think it might be worth it, but still pushing it. If it’s giving a 10% margin of error…that could be a drive that goes 250 reading out as 225 or 275! That’s meaningless. 5% would be 238-262…better and more useful, but pretty much on the outer boundary for anyone who is a serious golfer trying to dial in gaps. When you are dealing with your irons, that 10% is even a bigger deal…if you hit a 7 iron 150, you could get a reading of 145-165. How could you properly gap your clubs with that kind of data? You can’t. Even 5% is pushing it…giving you 142-158…That said, it appears the r10 gives fairly accurate ball data, which is great. But, if you are taking it to the next level, the club data numbers don’t seem to be as accurate as the ball data at this moment from what I’ve seen…I still might get one as the ball numbers are useful, and with fall/winter approaching, the indoor capabilities of hitting on a range seem like a nice idea…I’m not much of a sim player, but may have to these days. Had both hips replaced in the last 10 years, so playing in sub 50 degree (F) is not in the cards anymore…I’m testing out the Mevo right now. The ball numbers seem to be spot on, but it’s almost the same price as the R10, so at this point, I’m leaning R10…

I've seen a lot of reviewers playing home tee hero, and not noticing that they list a power reduction out of the rough. Which often explains the shorter distances. I just got my Garmin R10 and had the same reaction playing out of the rough. Only after did I realize they list the power reduction. Great fun though, I'm really enjoying it so far.
