Ratings and reviews

r10 launch monitor has an advertised margin of error of 5 yards, but it seemed more like 20. Shots that are seen missing left are reported as missing right. Data says path and face angle are to the right, but the ball flew a draw path, meaning the data is useless. App has difficulty staying connected to monitor when switching between modes. Home Tee Hero somehow can't register the same launch data from the driving range mode and reports shots as hit along the ground. A complete waste of money.

The app, paired with my Approach S62, works well in providing and saving round data. The one frustrating drawback that absolutely needs to be addressed, is the My Bag feature. I have already gapped my clubs on a simulator and I want the ability to edit my yardages and get club recommendations based on those numbers. Not the occasional mishits, 3/4 shots, stopping to aid a playing partner with yardage, etc. all being factored in. I've stopped telling my S62 which club I just used because of this.

Definitely not worth the $100 upgrade. I know it boasts something like 42,000 courses, but the ones in my area are not supported for green contours which is why you would want to upgrade. After messaging them many times trying to get them to add numerous, very popular, courses in my area (San Diego), still none have been added. It's not like I live in some obscure area, it's a big city and these are courses played by a lot of people, not sure why they slack so much on these type of things.
