Garmin Approach R10

“I bought a Garming R10 last Spring and I’ll be honest, I have been extremely disappointed with it. To be fair, I only use it on a driving range with range balls so that might be what’s causing the issue, but the amount of times it shows me clearly wrong information makes me doubt the validity of basically any of its readings (and I’m not even hitting into a net, so I would assume the readings should be “more” accurate). I would say at least 1 in 3 shots has some form of data that is obviously not correct, whether that is an impossible swing speed, a completely opposite shot shape to what actually happened or a distance that is obviously not correct. I can hit two shots in a row with a 7 iron that land next to each other and have a 20 yard difference in carry according to the R10. I’ll pure a shot it will say I thinned it or I can thin a shot and it will say I crushed it. Absolutely 0 consistency. Again, I suspect that the issue may just be that it is really bad at predicting range balls, but even things it is supposed to measure directly like club head speed are demonstrably wrong often enough that I can’t give it the benefit of the doubt. Would not recommend.”
