Garmin brought the Approach R10 to market. This is a portable golf launch monitor designed to help golfers improve their game at home, indoors or on the driving range.
"The Approach R10 combines lightweight portability with a fun, easy-to-use platform so you can play golf wherever and whenever you want," said Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales.
"Whether you have a busy schedule or are faced with unpredictable weather on the course, you can still practice your golf swing from home or virtually take a shot where the pros play this weekend. Either way, the Approach R10 keeps you playing golf ", he continued.
Garmin Approach R10 features a dozen key metrics displayed in real-time, including club head speed, ball speed, swing tempo, ball spin, launch angle and more. When paired with the Garmin Golf app, users can take advantage of Training Mode to identify strengths and areas that need improvement, automatically recording video clips to analyze a player's swing.
Available in the Training Mode feature in the Garmin Golf App, golfers can track statistics for each club and easily break down slick shot spread graphs based on ball drift estimates. In addition, the recorded video clips will automatically display statistics on each hit and can be stored in the cloud so that users can view and analyze them for themselves.
With the introduction of a premium membership to the Garmin Golf app, Approach R10 owners can take advantage of a free 30-day trial to try the course virtually before traveling or play a course close to home with the Home Tee Hero golf simulator.
The Approach R10 also provides direct compatibility with the E6 CONNECT3 content library with photorealistic courses that can be played at any time to enhance the overall golfing experience.
The Approach R10 includes a versatile phone holder that golfers can easily attach to their golf bag or place on the ground for support to make it easier for golfers to see their phone screen during play and increase accessibility with the Garmin Golf app. The Approach R10 offers up to 10 hours of battery life, keeping golfers going for longer.
