Appreciate your R10 if you have one…I work at a private club who has a Trackman… our head pro allowed me to compare my R10 to our Trackman and the results were very similar which is HUGE for the Approach R10 unit!!! For anyone using this in your simulator, I highly recommend getting a usb c to hdmi cord rather than mirroring! Completely cuts out lag!
I will, although to be honest not sure what to show on it, as it is exactly the same as the mevo+ or skytrak in the launch monitors provide the data to e6 which then processes it, so the visuals and data presentation are the same for all launch monitors.
Hi Shaun, thanks for taking the time to introduce us to this great product via video. I have two questions: a) is there a chance to export the data and b) how are your experiences using the thing indoors?
Thank you so much for doing this!! Do you think the home tee hero courses are accurate enough to still enjoy using them or do you think you'll default to the free/paid E6 courses for simulator use?I have one pre-order and love the idea of home tee hero to player other courses, but if they don't really match than it might be frustrating
I think I will use both, e6 for a serious round, but home tee hero will be fun to give courses a try, I may never have a chance of playing them, but I can see it being really good fun which a bunch of friends
I have done my best, the ball flight has a slight curve to it, the offline is about right, but the actual way the ball seems to fly in the app is not great. I will do some ore on this, most of my shots are draws or cuts, I’m Not really skilled enough to hit hooks and slices on demand, but will try
Do you feel the data is accurate while playing into a net? Any plans to make it to a driving range this week? I would love to hear more about the accuracy of the device without a net.
I have been to the driving range, and know my numbers fairly well from previously owning a skytrak. Carry is very close, on driver maybe 5yds short but I was not swinging great, so far, all irons seem to be very close to my numbers
Thanks for posting videos while we all wait for ours to come in! After having it for a few days now, how does it compare to the skytrak? Do you find the club path and face to path to be accurate? Also, are the driver and 3 wood yardages fairly accurate compared to your normal distances? Thanks again!
The carry numbers and spin are very close to my numbers, I used to own a skytrak and got all my numbers from there. I am finding the garmin just as accurate certainly within the limits of a average or good strike, my driver is down maybe 5yds at most, everything else is very close, close enough to use on the course. The club path and face to path do seem to be accurate, it’s an area I have been working on for a long time, and go on trackman with a coach to try and improve, I have been able to use the numbers over the last few days to help me sort my path out, I am now getting the strike and flight info when I am on trakman
I will order some, however, I would not expect them to work, the radar is tracking ball speed v club speed v club path and using calculated spin, almost balls will impact the ball speed to club speed ratio and throw everything else off..there is no ball type adjustment in the software so I would expect the numbers to be way off
@@shaunsshanks8111 Thanks for the reply, you may be right. But they seem to work just fine on mevo+ and even on my rapsodo mlm, so I'm really hoping they work. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. Considering buying one of these for the winter garage range. How realistic is the gameplay from behind a tree? Does it block you out from hitting full shots? force you to chip out?
You have to chip/punch out - you cannot hit through a tree though the number of trees in the game will most likely be much less than at the real course.
Does the simulation aspect properly depict shots to the right or left? For example my miss is usually to the right sometimes way right! Will that show up on the simulation part?
Shaun firstly thanks for the video. Can you map your bag ie does it give averages for each club then that gets recorded in the main garmin golf app? And do you get a mini game in e6? Also does e6 have all the driving range different pitch shots included ie 60 yard 70yard etc?
you should be able to to, using airplay on a iOS device or the HDMI adapter is you want wired, for android devices you should be able to use chrome cast, or MHL which a lot of Android devices have if you want wired
@@shaunsshanks8111 Been looking for the accuracy comparison between skytrack vs G10 or even Rasodo vs G10 into an outdoor net. Would you say that the G10 is a good buy for a mid handicapper who is trying to work on their dispersion and accuracy??
thanks for posting this Shaun! when it comes to the green/fairway sizes, did you actually measure the width by adjusting the aim/distance marker and doing some math? or are you just going on gut feel?
What about fat and thin shots... or bad shots in general? Have u tried some of these on purpose? Do u compare this LM to skytrak or it's more like Optishot Ones?
Fats and thins behave exactly as they would in real life, I have not used optishot, but it is a straight competitor to the skytrak in my opinion (I used to own a skytrak, and if both units were at skytrak price I would go for the garmin)
@@shaunsshanks8111 Are you asking about the courses in Home Tee Hero or the courses in E6? For E6, the size of the 5 included courses range from 130MB to 209MB. You can play E6 connect offline once you have downloaded the course though you will have a "no internet connection" warning that does not affect gameplay.
Half correct, the r10 comes with 5 free course on e6 that only work on iOS, you can buy or subscribe to e6 on pc where you get something like 25 courses, online play and games, as well as amazing graphics
There is no windows support for the device, I had to purchase a new android tablet to use as the screen on my phone was too small. Contacted Garmin and there is no windows support. Seems like they are missing a huge part of the market here
I did, prior to getting a dog a year ago, my lawn was really good, I was quite obsessed with it..however, the dog had put paid to my ideas of a nice lawn, now, anything slightly green is a bonus
You are doing a great service to everyone interested in buying one of these! Thank you!

Does look like it’s the full 18 only rather than picking less holes. One for Garmin to sort.
I am afraid so, although you can end the round at any time, I couldn’t see way to select specific holes to play
@@shaunsshanks8111 Will you be doing an E6 demo also? Thanks
I will, although to be honest not sure what to show on it, as it is exactly the same as the mevo+ or skytrak in the launch monitors provide the data to e6 which then processes it, so the visuals and data presentation are the same for all launch monitors.
Great videos, straight to the point, thanks for the info!
Cheers.
Got mine today!!!
How are you liking it? Some videos would be awesome!
Great video Shaun! Well done mate. Can't wait to get my R10 have Subbed
How much distance from hitting net is required to track the shots?
Hi Shaun great video. Do you know if you can play friends online on home tee hero?

Have you tried to purposefully slice and hook the ball. I’m curious how the ball flight is when you do this?

@@shaunsshanks8111 Awesome, that’s great to hear. I can’t wait to receive mine. Looking forward to more videos in the mean time.
Thanks for the video Shaun, can you please try with ''Almost Golfballs" to see how the ball tracking works. Thank you.

It sure does, on the second hole of home tee hero I hit that right quite badly, it was think and necky which is why it ended up short and right

I didn't see a way to map your bag, E6 does not have the mini games and the driving range only allows you to adjust flag position
@@shaunsshanks8111 thanks for the update mate
Can you project to a TV?
you should be able to to, using airplay on a iOS device or the HDMI adapter is you want wired, for android devices you should be able to use chrome cast, or MHL which a lot of Android devices have if you want wired
Whats the minimum distances the R10 recognize? No puts... But very short chip/ or bump and run?
The shortest I have tried is about 10yds and that’s been good, I will try something shorter
So is the accuracy very similar to the skytrack into a net? I have an outdoor net and am wondering on the accuracy. Please let me know, thanks!
Yes, very close, having owned both there is very little between them so far
@@shaunsshanks8111 thanks! So outdoors in a net the driver and longer irons are accurate?
@@shaunsshanks8111
Been looking for the accuracy comparison between skytrack vs G10 or even Rasodo vs G10 into an outdoor net.
Would you say that the G10 is a good buy for a mid handicapper who is trying to work on their dispersion and accuracy??
thanks for posting this Shaun! when it comes to the green/fairway sizes, did you actually measure the width by adjusting the aim/distance marker and doing some math? or are you just going on gut feel?
pretty much gut feel, but I was also using how far I ended up from the pin to give some context
Can you turn off the power adjustment in the rough?
Not as far as I can see, I can’t find any setting in the app
also wondering if you can "cast" the Iphone screen to the TV?
you should be able to using airplay
What about fat and thin shots... or bad shots in general? Have u tried some of these on purpose? Do u compare this LM to skytrak or it's more like Optishot Ones?
Fats and thins behave exactly as they would in real life, I have not used optishot, but it is a straight competitor to the skytrak in my opinion (I used to own a skytrak, and if both units were at skytrak price I would go for the garmin)
@@shaunsshanks8111 ty for your answer... Im thinkin on buy 1 of this!
@@shaunsshanks8111 based on that gc2 comparison video do you still feel the same way? I am on the fence.
Do you know how big the Course downloads are by any chance?
from the speed of download, pretty small, probably about 50mb
@@shaunsshanks8111 Are you asking about the courses in Home Tee Hero or the courses in E6? For E6, the size of the 5 included courses range from 130MB to 209MB.

What are the free courses on e6? Is it any good?
Aviary Golf Club, Brandon Dunes, Sanctuary Golf Club, Stone Canyon Golf Club and Wade Hampton Golf Club
How accurate is the distance with the driver?
pretty good, for me its been within 5 yards so far
Does this device have a setting to convert range ball data to premium ?
not that I have found so far
So can you not use E6 connect via the R10 using a laptop? Only iOS?
Half correct, the r10 comes with 5 free course on e6 that only work on iOS, you can buy or subscribe to e6 on pc where you get something like 25 courses, online play and games, as well as amazing graphics
@@shaunsshanks8111 I wonder why you get the 5 courses free on iOS but not windows
There is no windows support for the device, I had to purchase a new android tablet to use as the screen on my phone was too small. Contacted Garmin and there is no windows support. Seems like they are missing a huge part of the market here
it would be great if you could tweak the penalty % of Rough and Bunker shots to make it harder....
that would be awesome, I will have another go and try and land in tougher spots and see what it does
And what about that lawn? Did you ever get around to mowing it? Can I suggest you subscribe to lawn tips for inspiration.
I did, prior to getting a dog a year ago, my lawn was really good, I was quite obsessed with it..however, the dog had put paid to my ideas of a nice lawn, now, anything slightly green is a bonus
@@shaunsshanks8111 yep digging and dog pee will do that, can relate!
