Garmin r10
I would be interested to see a really good ball striker do a similar compariosn. It did seem like ball speed and launch direction were pretty good though.
GARMIN R10 DRIVER
I saw one swing with driver that was chunked a bit, where the carry from the R10 was almost 40 yards further than the Trackman, which makes me wonder if data from mishits are not quite as reliable. I suppose these are data that are determined by some some sort of calculation/algorithm. The R10 seemed to deviate significantly from Trackman on spin, spin axis, and carry. It didn't inspire a lot of confidence in the R10's accuracy. I watched the whole video (pretty tedious, wish they had done some post production to speed the repetitive part up). I didn't watch the whole thing, but the parts I did watch made it seem pretty solid.
GARMIN R10 SIMULATOR
I nearly bought a simulator setup last winter, but the distance limitations of Mevo+ and the hassle of optical systems are what held me back.

I'm going to have to wait and see more data on actual performance of the device first, however, but in the meantime I'm cautiously optimistic.
GARMIN R10 PORTABLE
If it works as well as advertised I'll probably finally invest in a personal launch monitor, because it would be the first sub-$1,000 or even just sub-$2,000+ option to combine simulator capabilities with a portable launch monitor. There's also a matter of not knowing whether the advertised error numbers are conservative (larger than seen in average real-world use), true to life, or generous estimations only achieved in lab settings. The key is that it needs to be accurate, and I'm not convinced their stated error ranges are accurate enough (as with the club path thing). If it actually is able to accurately report all of that data it would be revolutionary, considering the other devices capable of giving the same information cost a minimum of $2,000 (if you can find them anywhere). It all hinges on how accurate the measurements/calculations are in real-world testing. I can see it either being a big step forwards for affordable home simulators and personal launch monitors, or a complete waste of money. I'm really interested and excited to see reviews of this when it finally makes it to market. But AoA in a $600 device? Launch direction? How much does 2 degrees of club path matter? If you make a swing at 3° left that says it's 5° left, then you swing 1° left and it says 1° right… those ± 2° can begin to matter, too. The face angle, spin rate, and spin axis being calculated (I think it pull from a table of similar results)… sure. Now… I'm interested to know if all of those things stated as "measured" are actually measured. Other Metrics Shown from Calculations of R10:

I don't believe the Rapsodo MLM can do that.
GARMIN R10 FULL
This will be able to function as a full simulator, with access to courses. Why does Garmin have some measurements with an error, but others don't have an error?Īs far as a more direct comparison, the Rapsodo Moblie Launch Monitor is cheaper ($499), but I'm not clear on whether it measures the same as this is supposed to. I'm also curious what is measured by the radar and what is calculated. I'm curious how much space this will need indoors to work properly. If this is comparable to the Mevo+ in terms of performance, then that seems like a steal. Looks like it uses a radar to measure everything, and Garmin's site says the radar measures: The latest launch monitor aims to give golfers instant access to granular swing metrics, while also doubling up as a golf simulator.
