Why Have I Ditched The Garmin R10? 

Thanks all for watching 😊 don’t forget to Subscribe to the channel and hit the 🔔

The only reason to get rid of an R10, is you're blessed to be able to afford or get gifted a better LM. My baby Trackman (R10) was a preorder and is still kicking butt. Id still have it in my golf bag for the range even if I upgraded my Sim unit. Keep up Dave! From another OG R10 RU-vidr congrats on your success

100% agree For me that subscription on the mlm means that 5 years = 1000k more. So we have initial buy price which is more and subscribing costs … well at ~2k is it the best launch monitor in that bracket? And let’s not forget the subscription cost is just feature unlock - it costs them nothing to provide those services.

i HATE subscription based products, the Garmin R10 is just easy to use and already have several garmin products so it made it even easier. just wish the video feature was free which linked to a G-Drive storage would be easiest

I'm with clow242 , you just sold me another one 😂 but I do get what you say, I love my r10 , it has helped my game, and also awesome golf offers a lifetime membership , so for £650 I got my r10 and AG , had for over a year now, best money I have spent in a long time, well since the EXputt at least another great simulator for putting. Keep them coming mate.

Hey David! As many have probably told you, you were one of the people that inspired me to get my R10 a few years back and I’m so glad I did. Regardless of your content in the future, I cant wait to see it. I recently started using my R10 outdoors on grass ranges to get my accurate carry distances and I literally just got Awesome Golf this week. So there is no net, I am just hitting it out into the open range. In terms of setting it up can you tell me if I got this right? Make sure the unit is on the same level as the golf ball and line it up with your target line. I measure 7 feet back. Then I turn the unit on and calibrate it. Then I do not open the range section or anything else on Garmin and instead I open Awesome Golf and use the coaching section. From my understanding you have a 2 foot by 2 foot hitting area so 1 foot forward, left, right and back of the ball spot you originally marked. Is that all correct or should I modify anything? There isn’t anywhere to set up the 7 foot distance on Awesome Golf so that scared me since on the Garmin app you usually set the distance but in this case I dont set that up since you aren’t using the Garmin app. Also is there anywhere to save your coaching sessions? I didn’t see it anywhere. Thank you!

After watching the first 3 minutes of this video makes me want to buy the r10 lol

Hi David…do you have comparison of Awesome Golf vs GSPro for MLM2 Pro? I just received my MLM2 Pro..I love it. Now looking to pair it with simulation software.

I have the Mevo+ I have this nailed to accuracy for my swing speed, I'm have been asked to take an LM to a few courses that have no driving range and would like to give them options in prices, what distance is the Garmin R10 to ball then Ball to Screen do you use? Thanks

Have the r10. love it except i find the short game (under 20 yards) is very unpredictable. I know it's not meant for chipping and putting but even a lot of my bump and run shots are tricky to get accurate. Not usually a big deal as I go to proper practice ranges with greens for this, but I will say when you have the guys over for some "rounds" of golf in the garage, it can get annoying. any tips for improving bump and run accuracy or short game accuracy? the only thing that has helped a little is selecting that i have a 5iron in hand on the software yet I actually use the 8iron for low bump and run. maybe it's scanning lower launch angles this way?

Currently using the R10 with GS Pro and like you said no major probems at all besides for me the small 10-25 yeard chip shots areound the green are basically impossible to get right and trigger on the system. Considering an upgrade now to the OG skytrak or the Mevo + I've seen floading online for sale here in Aus / Ebay for around 1500-2k range. Would you still go with a camera system over the Mevo + ?

No club path or Face path data on the MLM2.. The Garmin has it..

Awesome video dude , Every one is always looking to improve . So whether it be the r10 or new sky track . I love my r10 I am just having a little trouble with it struggling with lower launch angles . Now it maybe my set up. Did you ever have to raise the unit like an inch over the hitting mat ? My short irons/wedges are spot on . Long irons and hybrids/fairways are just off a bit. And trust me I watched all your videos about set up lol . Keep up the great content

That R10 looks to be a great deal :)

It’s great for the price but then carry yardages are way out

Hey David. You say next step up you believe Skytrak+ is the best unit available. What about the Bushnell Launch Pro or Uneekor Eye Mini Lite? I know the mini lite is brand new but have you not tried the BLP? Im looking at that next biggish upgrade and leaning heavily on BLP over Skytrak+. Your thoughts? Thanks. ✌️

Skytrack plus vs the mevo plus limited?

Good day there. Just wondering which is the next lm up from the r10 blp has some great deals at the moment but they want 500us gold subscription a year, and you need the sub to run gspro. So if one would like to run gspro what is in your opinion the next lm up. Asking you cause you do a lot of research on the subjects. Tia.

Thanks for the update love your videos as always! What is your thoughts on the mevo and especially the mevo+ I just recently dipped my toe into the launch monitor market and purchased the mevo and I like it and I am looking at the mevo+ anyway your opinion would be appreciated

How is that picking up your shots? I thought you had to be 8-10 feet feom ball to screen or net? You look closer than that

damn, you're pretty good at golf

What mat do you use?

The ONLY issue I have with the MLM 2 Pro is if you don’t pay for the subscription…you lose the ONLY variant that separates it from the Garmin R10 The Spin Axis…Rapsodo penalizes you if you don’t pay the subscription fee. So if you want to use it because your working on your game for directionality (Grip, cupping your wrists-slicers) then you have to pay the $200 - plus if you want to use GSPro or Awesome Golf it’s another $200 a year. So with the Rapsodo it could be $400 or more a year just to have that accurate spin data. (Directionality) not to mention all the connection issues I be seen it have. Dropping connection mid game- for one guys dozens of times in one video. While the R10- you can use the unit no subscription pay for $200 Awesome Golf and be done. And get Garmins higher level of connectivity reliability. Kind of where I’m at now….

How far are you hitting from your screen? It looks like only about 6 to 7 feet.

Is it good for chipping?

I love how it took you 4 minutes to get to what the video is about. EDIT 8 minutes

Should I not use the RCT balls outside with the Garmin? Because I was noticing with my gap and edge the r10 was only reading like 4000 spin and I know that’s not right then when I used my tp5x’s I was getting consistent 9000 spin numbers. And I calibrated the r10 twice. Any help you can give me with that? Did you run into that at all?

I wish the garmin app was even decent but its trash. I mean atleast have a combine type thing.

Since you’ve ditched it, feel free to just send the r10 to me!

Bushnell BLP ball data only is the one to get off you're looking to play against others on something like gspro. No one wants to play anyone with anything that's using something short of a camera based system. Bottom line.

R10 had its time. Others have surpassed it. It's time Garmin put out a new unit. Enough with new watches.

Since you ditched it can you send me it

Damn dude...really long winded to try and make your point.

Please...take a lesson. OMG!

so you've run out of things to talk about w/ the R10, thus can't create more content using it. No prob.

Sooo much waffle and repetition...

the one i have is from kaizen golf. i might ask if they recommend a tee

what tees do you use for driving in your simulator

i bought some of those but i can't get them to stay in matting
