Was there any comparison on other metrics like club path direction and face angle accuracy? Quite curious as this is what I’m after (considering outdoor net set up).
Yes just using the Garmin app. I’ve seen plenty of comment from users saying they’re still not happy with the other apps too. I wanted to test what you get out the box 👍
Great re - review this. Just bought a voicecaddy sc4 and testing it, but considering a Garmin as it has side spin numbers. Any thoughts on which would be better in a back garden setup? Looks like you have a lot of review videos… you have given me some inspiration! Cheers dude!
Glad to have provided inspiration! Can’t really comment on the comparison I’m afraid as I haven’t tried the Skycaddy. For a home Simulator, I’d say the Garmin should be ok to start you off, but I think you’ll soon want something with a little more to offer..
The reason your "test" showed worse data on driver is simply distance to screen, 9' is too short. 11' or more is optimal and produces the most accurate readings. Each machine requires time to properly measure and thus clubs with less ball speed provides the units time to properly measure the spin and launch. The one control measure you did not show was, did the trackman use an algorithm and have their spin in italics, or did it pick up and measure spin, the numbers would be bold. Trackman struggles with short distances of 9' to screen as well and will often guestimate spin. The only true measure of spin should come from camera capture like GC Quad. If you have the ability to retest with more distance to screen I think you would find very little variation. Cheers, good video.
It would be great to have more room to the screen, but to be fair Garmin don't say you need more, and I was using a private studio which felt a decent size...certainly larger than many will have access to at their home. Would love to have tested it against a GC Quad too, but just don't have access to one at the moment annoyingly.
I don't know that I would consider "10 yards" in the green zone. I think 5 yards or less would be more appropriate. I don't think anyone that is serious enough to spend the time and money on a setup for practice or sim, would consider a +/- 10 yard error acceptable. Also, there may be some cross interference between the two radar based units, and that may be compounded when using the RCT balls. It's always best to use a top camera based monitor as the baseline, because they are not subject to this problem.
Could be some interference, but this is all I had access to at the time. I feel 10 +/- yards is acceptable at this price point. If that an issue, you’re going to have to get comfortable spending at least 10x more to get that Margin of error down
10 yards is perfectly acceptable for any average players, also keep in mind the comparison is against another launch monitor. Not real balls on a range or course
@@typulsipher9792 10 yards is a pretty common distance between clubs. So, a ten yard discrepancy is 3 clubs. If you hit an 8i 140 yards, but the launch monitor reads 130 or 150, what's the purpose? Do you hit an 8, 9 or 7i when facing that distance on the course?
Unfortunately I don't have access to a trackman at an outdoor range - I tried to compare it to a Top Tracer range in my initial review, but I wasn't happy with the accuracy of the results, hence this follow up video in more controlled conditions
🙌👏 Wow, thank you for such an in-depth and honest analysis of the Garmin R10 launch monitor! This video truly showcases the dedication to accuracy and transparency in your content. 🌟👍 what other tech or golf equipment reviews you have planned for your channel. Will you continue to dive into detailed comparisons and data-driven insights like this one, or are there other aspects of the golfing world you'll be exploring? Your commitment to thorough analysis is impressive, and I'm excited to see what's next! 🏌♂🔍
Thank you for the king feedback 👍🙏 I plan to review alternative launch monitors, as well as watches, gps units, rangefinders, electric trolleys. Lots of plans!
@@GolfGuyReviews That sounds exciting! 🎉 Do you have any sneak peeks or hints about which launch monitors or golf equipment you'll be reviewing next? 🏌♂⛳ Your detailed comparisons are always so helpful! Can't wait to see more of your awesome content! Keep up the great work! 👏✨

I didn't really look at those figures, let me see what I can find and get back to you
Very big of you to post your receipts like you have. Well done mate.
Receipts?
Were you using the built in R10 software? Everyone recommends you either use Awesome Golf or GSPro instead as they're both a lot more accurate.
Yes just using the Garmin app. I’ve seen plenty of comment from users saying they’re still not happy with the other apps too. I wanted to test what you get out the box 👍
Fair play Kev, I'd say most lads won't have done this (admit you may have been a little wrong). Like the T btw.
Thanks Danny, felt it was the right thing to do 👍

Golf Guy! Nice video! Garmin holding up, years after the release date. Congrats on channel's success!
Thanks Dub Golf :)
of course the test will be similar they both radar captive data device
they are very different devices at different price point....not sure I agree with your suggestion.
Awesome video! May I ask did you use the base garmin r10 IOS app to track or did you use Awesome golf etc
Thanks! I was just using the Garmin IOS app 👍
Do you have a link to that tripod stand for the launch monitor?
Sorry I don’t, it got it with the R10 that I bought
@@GolfGuyReviews the thing the tripod sits on?
Yes, I got the tripod stand as a package from the person I bought it from.

10 yards is absolutely not acceptable. You wouldn't accept that even if it was free... @@GolfGuyReviews

indoors is not a real test.
Why not? Nothing from Garmin says it can’t be used indoor/?
@@GolfGuyReviews most of us want to use it on a real range.
