stupid music in the background so that you cannot hear what he's saying. Nice

Hey david the only problem I’m having is getting long irons and fairway woods and driver to have the correct high launch. I’m getting like 10° and it’s low unless I try to hit them high on purpose I can get 14°. Any tips for me? I’m a +1 hdc so I can strike an all halfway decent.

Do you have to calibrate for lefties and righties?

Hi David can you tell me what projector you have. Thanks

appreciate the video with all the tips and info. I'm currently setting up my indoor sim with the Garmin R10.

Very informative video. Please lose the background music. Thanks!

What was your experience for accuracy of club path and face angle?

Brand new to the Garmin R10, thanks for the videos. I haven’t yet tried to run two apps at once, although I believe you are supposed to run the Garmin app in the background anyway or first to sync it? But I hadn’t tried starting driving range on Garman and then starting driving range on E6 or awesome golf.

Great video! Inspired me to buy the exact same benq projector today. For the iPad, you simply connect with an usb c to hdmi cable? Have you ever thought about Apple TV or any other way to connect wireless?

Hi David. Love all your content mate, thanks for sharing! About to order the r10 and spornia for a 16 foot long spare bedroom. How much room is needed from the spornia target to the room’s wall? Assuming that’s 1 foot, from your experience would you position the r10 6 feet behind the ball for 9 feet of flight distance before impact. Or would you do the r10 7 feet behind the ball for 8 feet of flight distance? Thanks for your help and recommendations!

Just got my R10. Do foam balls make issues with it? Indoors it seems to always “calculate” and not be ready when I’m swinging. I’ve seen this in other videos. But most times it’s not even registered. Wondering if foam balls are an issue

Have you ever notice the R10 capturing a high launch angle? I am troubleshooting my indoor setup and have narrow it down to my 7iron launching at 27 vs <20 on a the trackman. I am using a fiberbuilt matt that is raised about 1 inch off the floor. I have the 9 feet to the screen and 10 feet back, with the R10 placed around 7. I have been tweaking my stand to try and get an exaggerated low launch angle without any luck. Wondering if you have seen this at all. --- Thanks

How accurate have you found r10 with long irons and a driver?

Please make the music louder I could almost hear what you were saying.

Just found out that my iPad is too old to run awesome golf , will awesome golf work on an android tablet or is it worth updating my iPad and if so which iPad would you recommend, looking forward to getting into all this R10 goodness, wish all this technology was around 50 years ago
Cheers

Hi Dave. I've just got my R10 sitting on a piece of wood. We've had a ball with it but sometimes it misses a few of the readings and gives a bad shot. I'll definitely grab a stand, but I was wondering if you have had any problem with short chips around the green when playing Sim. I am playing on E6, and it doesn't pick them up all the time. Thanks

David, Have you experimented with how high the R10 rests on the ground (how high the tripod feet are in relation to the top of the mat where the ball is being hit)? The instructions say only to make sure the bottom of the device (I'm assuming the radar device & not the bottom of the tripod feet) is above the top of the mat. Thanks again!!

David, is that discount code apply to the R10? Because I tried it and it said it was invalid.

I have an indoor setup in my garage: ball to net 9 feet; R10 to ball 6 feet; Country Club mat. The R10 is level on a stand that I made where I keep the feet of the tripod level with the mat. My iron shots read every time, but my driver shots off a tee are not read (maybe 1 out of 10 are read). Driver shots off the mat are read every time. The tee is the wide yellow plastic golf mat tee that I bought from Amazon. Have you ever had this happen with a driver? What height do you keep the R10 at compared to your mat? I do calibrate the R10 every time & lined up. Thanks!!

I'm outdoors but don't have much room. I get good reads from irons, but when I get to my driver it doesn't pick up half the swings. The R10 is 7 ft. Behind the tee and the net is 9 ft. In front of the tee. Any suggestions?

I been using the device for a couple of days and it’s seems to be way off. I have it at 8 feet from target and 6 feet from tee. Does better lighting in garage help!

Hi. Great video. Thanks for posting. Struggled with my indoor setup last winter. I have all the correct gear, high ceilings and enough depth of space between net, mat and monitor (leveled on stand). Also recently updated the R10. I can't go with the RCT balls and risk turning my walls and ceiling into Swiss cheese. Instead, I'm hitting GoSport foam golf practice balls (ordered off Amazon). Love the product itself but the distances captured off the R10 are not even remotely close to accurate. In some cases, the ball flight isn't even registering. Do you think attaching the metallic dots on the foam balls will help? And any insight to how to change course conditions like elevation within the Garmin or Awesome Golf apps would be appreciated. Cheers from chilly Canada.

Awesome video, with a lot of great tips to get good results. Very helpful for people to best setup the R10 when our golf game isn't consistent or understood well enough to use our own performance to gauge the tool accuracy. Thank you.

David, love all your videos. After watching all your stuff, I decided the Garmin R10 was the way to go for my garage setup. Went with the Spornia net setup with some side netting. Garmin arrived today, did all the steps, updated firmware, calibrated, etc. For the life of me can't get the unit to work. For some reason carry distance will not go over 75 for any club that I try. Have about 9-10 feet ball to net and 7 feet Garmin to ball. I am at my wits end on how to get things fixed and running properly

David, when comparing Awesome golf to garmin using the wedges what matrices are different that is causing the carry discrepancy? Spin, balls speed, launch angle...? Or are they all the same and its the algorithms between the two that are different? Does the RCT ball (or metal dot ball) make Awesome golf more accurate in the wedges? How does the E6 range compare?

Great timing for great vid David. Was just debating distances the other night with buddy. 4 and 5 iron numbers were looney toons. 5 iron at 93 swing speed and 154 smash carrying 172 yards, made no sense, thats a 190-195 carry. We have enough distance to back mat and garmin up to 10 ft and 7 ft, so we’ll give that a try. Thanks for the info. ✌️✌️

Also, couldnt agree more on mat choice. Finally decided and went with Spornia SPG-8 Perfect Reation bundle and its worth every penny. Mat is 1 5/8 inches thick and after 500+ balls it doesnt have a mark on it. Instant feedback on shots. Added the sim screen and its top notch for cheap price for winter golf. 👍

@david maxfield golf: what are the black and green lines trying to show when calibrating the Garmin R10

Hi David, this is such a great and helpful video. Just for clarification but is the R10 Bluetooth connected to your iPad and is the Garmin Golf app and Awesome Golf running on the iPad? The reason I ask is when I take a shot using Awesome golf, I see the number appear but when I switch to the Garmin Golf app, the Garmin app has not captured any data. What do you think I'm doing wrong? Thank you in advance.

First of all, david I’m a south korean beginner and i love your perfect reviews and videos.
I’ve decided to buy the Garmin R10 and just paid for it as soon as i watched your whole videos of R10.
It would provide me a good training system
and i also will enjoy stroke play through E6 connect for free :)
Thanks for good information. 🙏

Hey David, thanks for another very good video! I’ve been experiencing the same with the awesome golf app. Shots are about 5-10 meters longer than I actually hit them. I just hope the Garmin App can improve on the lateral deviation then I’ll stick to the Garmin app even though the awesome golf app has the nice overview of shots and stats

how does the calibration on unit come into play?

how does the calibration on unit come into play?

i used the r10 for about 6 months and found the awesome golf app to be overall more accurate but both apps seem to struggle with accuracy with longer clubs. ive since upgraded to the bushnell launch pro and have been very pleased . i do however really enjoy my s62 watch with the ct10 .

Hi David,
Thanks for great video.
Do you think we should calibrate and set distance(ball and garmin) on garmin app when we use awesome golf app?

Thanks for this video

Sooooo you think the Garmin golf app now plenty accurate enough on lateral deviation, use to seem it was way off maybe their algorithms have improved, I’m debating on buying awesome golf app vs keeping ability to play more virtual courses with Garmin app. Awesome golf app coaching/range is much more useful and pleasing to the eye but not real courses and only 9 hole courses kinda a bummer

Will the room (or area in a room) brightness do anything to the r10 signal?

Just bought an R10 and subscribed, so far the absolute best resource for setting up your home sim! Much appreciated!

Have you ever tested the RCT ball or your diy dot on E6? I use E6 predominantly and am curious if you had just as much luck with that program as you have had with the Garmin app and Awesome golf. Cheers.

You made a very good point about using on course GPS numbers for club gapping.

David, great video. Very helpful. I’m considering an R10 for setup into a net. Not sure I have as much room as you. Another interesting test would be to shorten the distance between ball and garmin and ball and screen to see accuracy difference with shorter setups.

Nice one David 👍…
Wondered if with Garmin app can change altitude temp humidity which can tweak your numbers as you have pointed out before .
Is the Awesome golf app independent of the tweaks made in the Garmin app ?

Weather and altitude settings…what do you do for those settings indoor

Great video. Any experience with heating units affecting results. I need to heat my shop during the winters months , and trying to find out if infrared heating units would interfere. Thanks

Hi mate, do you find that the Garmin dosnt pick up a lot of shots?

always great videos, do you use a laser or alignment stick to help with R10 setup, or is it just good eyesight, keep up the great work, many thanks.

Perfect. Just dialling my setup in at the moment!
