  • There is a lot of hype around the Garmin Approach R10 launch monitor, but does it really live up to all that it promises to deliver?
    I've been using the FlightScope Mevo Plus, TrackMan and PRGR for the last year, so I think I have a good idea on what makes a good portable golf launch monitor and having used the Garmin R10 for the past month, how do I think it compares and is it really worth the buying?

    I've had the R10 for 5 months and am very happy with it. I use it mostly on the driving range and sometimes the course when quiet. For the money, it is incredibly accurate for at least 90% of shots-as good as much more expensive units (I've tried them all). About 1 in 10 shots is a misread, meaning shape is different than real (i.e. face to path etc). When I download my session data to excel, I can see that about 50% of shots have 'measured' spin versus 50% with estimated. I'm guessing the measured ones are when it reads a ball logo or other marking. For home use, I'd imagine you don't even need the RCT balls, just find one it measures rather than estimates based on a ball logo and position. 8 out of 10 times, it has hardly any missing data but for some reason, around 2 out 10 sessions on the range it can miss the face and path data on say 1 in 4 shots-I'm guessing this is set up, possibly the height of unit versus mats on range or something, I do believe with more time, I'll solve i (-i.e. get to know exactly why is misses shots some sessions, but not others). I mostly want to work on face and path and attack angle, and for this, it is good for at least 90% of shots-which is good enough unless you are an aspiring pro (my lowest handicap = 7). It also seems to be incredibly accurate with ball speed and carry distance, whereby even range balls are measured correctly versus real balls etc (i.e my 175 yard 6 iron only reads at 155-165 on the range and properly at 175 on the course-so now I love finding ranges with real golf balls even more....). Even though it is not perfect with ease of set up, it is a clear winner for me in being able to put it behind you on a tee box and measure 4 drives quickly which I doubt would be feasible with any of the others (i.e. when you only have literally 1-2 minutes spare)....all in all, it's clearly by far and away the best value device there is- if you want to pay 4 times the price for halving that 10% imperfection (even trackmans are not perfect), then, by all means, argue there are more accurate devices, but only to a small degree and not enough to justify the price gap for me (2 range sessions a week most of year plus 1- 2 games when weather decent).

    I second what the other commented said. I think I saw a video from Lets Play Thru which says that the spin number accuracy is vastly improved if you are using the metallic sticker. Combine that with awesome golf or E6 which have better interface than Garmin's native app and perhaps Garmin is even more attractive to casual golfers.

Do you know how accurate it is for club, path as this is good for me to know and what I use in my lessons? I appreciate it may not be exactly right but I don’t want it if it’s completely off. Seems not much difference from the numbers you did which is v impressive! Thanks!

    • @JonPerkinsGolf

      My opinion and I think it's echoed by a lot of other users in the comments, is that it's really pretty accurate so long as you take the time to set it up correctly (which isn't much time at all!). Also, seems a lot of positive comments on how much the Titleist RCT balls help (I've not been able to get hold of any yet). It's pretty great bang for buck.

    I noticed that my swing speed and distances on the E6 with the garmin r10 were short by about 6-10% and then my brother tried it tonight and it was spot on for him. He's a righty and I'm a lefty, we tried setups geared towards a lefty, a righty and one in the middle and mine were consistently shorter and his were more accurate. Calibrated every time and kept the distances the same. Anyone else notice this issue with lefties or is my swing to odd to be picked up by radar? I'm having a lefty 5 handicapper come over soon to try it out, so I can update after

    Had mine about 3 months, use it outside in a net with a black backing sheet, 6ft from unit to tee, 9ft to the net. Once you have it setup properly its great, the black backing def helps ! It didnt like white for me. Also adding a speck of foil tape seems give more consistent spin rates. Great for a begginer looking for some feedback. if you can afford the awesome golf app that too that really takes it up a level (you get a free trial)

Bottom line - It's good fun and has helped my game and made my practice more enjoyable but it's not a trackman or GC quad and can be frustrating initially imo anyway.

    Would be curious to know how the spin axis compared. I know in the video you said the shot shape seemed accurate, it just seems that a lot of reviews show the Garmin struggling to read a draw properly (i.e. Trackman or GC4 will read a draw and the R10 thinks it’s a push). Did you experience any of that in your testing?

      @tezzlacoilz ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This breakdown is fantastic but try also searching David Maxwell r10 and you will find a load of videos on r10 and in-depth info on set up, numbers and comparisons. In summary Titleist rct balls help with spin measurement for the R10. My take is spin axis is totally fine for wedges up to 5i with normal non-rct balls. Ive never had a read where it was a fade and it's come up as a draw or vice versa. Once you go to the longer clubs I find the spin and carry can be questionable (non rct balls). For me it's more spin (and therefore short carry) as opposed to spin axis(direction) being wrong.

    • @tezzlacoilz
      @tezzlacoilz ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Also id note that set up is important with the R10. It must be pointing directly down the target line. If it's aimed right or left of target you will get shots that reflect that skew. Also you want it roughly the same height as your mat or slightly higher. It only takes me a couple of minutes to set it up but I bought a little stand for it with a built in laser sight so it's dead easy.

    • @JonPerkinsGolf
      @JonPerkinsGolf  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey. Off video I've hit lots of wedges and it's solid. I doubt any monitor is perfect and you can possibly slightly improve accuracy with the RDT balls from Titleist, or the silver dot method, but it is good and certainly helps with practice.

  • @topgunbass
    @topgunbass ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've seen enough on the r10. At the time it was good. Now the amount of fuss ppl have to do to get it to work right it just to much. The deal breaker is the spin. It just doesn't get that right. I need to know what shot shape the ball is flying. It's just to inaccurate for that. I will say take caution if you want to practice with it to learn shot shape. Mlm2 pro seems to be better. Hopefully in a year something better will come out.

    £18k vs £600 for a difference in 100 spin or 2 yards. Even if I was a tour pro I can’t see why you’d pay the extra. The accuracy of that Garmin seems unbelievable for the cost. And the data it provides for each shot individually seems ideal. Grouping multiple shots maybe the software needs a tweak (typical Garmin, no doubt a beta for the next 2 years 😅) this must be the best bang for buck launch monitor out there?

      It's not it can't be I was just watching the video to see how they claimed this other data but they don't have cameras to look at the club so therefore it's made up fantasy confabulated data for half of the metrics. For what it does do it does it well. And is plenty good enough for all of us but it takes some balls to act like they are giving you real Club data Garmin company

    Nice video. I would add quite a bit as i have been using R10 for just shy of a yr. Mostly inside with sim.
    1st, if you want most accurate data(spin) the Titleist RCT ball is needed. Its metal lined to help R10 read ball. Expensive, i dont use as i have no issues.
    2nd, garmin app is the worst. Device offers garmin, awesome and E6…awesome is the best by a million miles and 100% worth the cost.
    3rd, buy a stand for the R10 that has leveling feet. Even 1/4 inch off level can give you biases. Slightly left tilt can give you draw bias for example.
    4th, calibrate EVERY use, takes about 10 seconds in garmin app.
    5th, instructions say 7ish feet from net and unit. 9-10 ft to net and 7 1/2 ft to R10 is far better and numbers are more accurate for me. Its algorithm based so the longer it can read the better.

    FYI, the italicized spin rate on the Trackman means it did not read the spin; it is calculating the spin based on observed launch conditions.
    I'm not sure how the facility you are at has the Trackman set up or what balls they are using, but those numbers will not be entirely accurate without measured spin either.

    I want to invest in a launch monitor that is less than $1,000 CAD and the two best one seems to be the Garmin R10 and the Rapsodo MLM 2 Pro. Is the data accuracy/reliability of the MLM 2 better than the Garrmin because of camera/doppler radar? I will be using the unit mostly on the range outside and in a bakyard net. Thanks, Luc

      Don't forget to factor in the subscription costs for both. For the Garmin, you only have to pay for a subscription if you want to use it as a simulator, whereas for the MLM 2 the subscription is needed to access basic features.

    I have the Garmin and I like it, but the new Rapsodo MLM 2 Pro is going to blow it away. Early side by side test against GC4 and Trackman suggest it’ll be super accurate for the $700 price tag. And because it’s using photo and radar for ball data you get more measured data where the Garmin calculates some of those data points. Can’t wait to see more.

    • @Cursedfenix
      @Cursedfenix ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The rapsodo is only that accurate if you use the balls it comes with. The Garmin is within 5% of trackman and GC quad if you use regular balls and they say less than 3% difference with Titleist RCT balls. The Rapsodo and Garmin are pretty much even.

      @nickbryan217 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Cursedfenix the Rapsodo has the advantage of using both photo and radar technology and has demonstrated much more accurate spin numbers than the R10 using RCT balls. I think Golf City did a side by side comparison of the R10 and MLM2 Pro using the RCT and the RPT balls compared against the GC3. The MLM2 Pro was nearly dead on from Wedge all the way up to Driver. The R10 struggled as ball speeds increased and spin dropped. Just doesn’t have a long enough window to get an accurate reading.

I’d play a round on the sim and would have to hit enough balls to play 2-3 rounds to get through a round because of missed shots (shots the unit didn’t pick up). It’s not a bad little unit for $500. But to me the Rapsodo does a better job for just a couple hundred dollars more…..

    • @nickbryan217

      @@N_Els the Garmin is “estimating” those critical factors, it’s not measuring them. And it doesn’t seem to guess very well when the data doesn’t match the ball flight I’m seeing because the accepted variance is so big. I hit a shot that I see is shaping right to left and the Garmin is giving me left to right and club face/path numbers that support the path it gave me and not the actual ball flight. Short of you hitting some extreme path or face angle numbers it’s about as good as the weather man at guessing. The thing for me is the Rapsodo is measuring spin with the RPT balls and the Garmin is guessing at spin too…. The Garmin tries to give you $5K LM numbers by guessing and often guessing not great or just straight up wrong…. The Rapsodo sticks to giving you really good numbers it can actually measure.
