Good Features, But Not Very Realistic Courses

It works great except after I turn it off. I have to reset it, to get it to restart every time. Also not much detail on the courses or graphics to make it look more realistic

Approach R50

Best simulator I've ever used in my basement. Does everything I need.

Everything About This Simulator Is Great!

I purchased this about a month ago and have had no problems and a lot of fun with it.

Great Device For Golf At Home.

Perfect device without needing a projector. All that is needed is space and a hitting net. Feedback is instantaneous. I’m up and running in a two minutes. The club stickers are small enough that it doesn’t affect my swing or impact. The monitor is everything it says it is. Great impact feedback, ball flight data, and very nice touchscreen that works with glove. Two things I would recommend for upgrade… putting green data on course and CT10 sensor connection. I have the Garmin Golf membership that includes green elevation data however, while playing home town hero, no green elevation data is viewed on course. Also, there’s no connection to CT10 sensors, not a big deal, but Garmin is known for its connection within devices, just a thought.

Garmin R50

I've had the R50 for about 6 weeks. It is an incredible piece of technology. Unreal accuracy and more than enough data to satisfy any golfer. I've done 2 side by side comparisons versus Trackman and the data is spot on. Carry/total distance within 1-3 yards, spin within 200rpm and launch/decent angle identical. The level of accuracy against the Trackman is unreal, I was using ProV1 RCT balls to ensure Trackman was measuring spin and such accurately and the Garmin R50 was matching it shot for shot. The HTH game play is great, I'd like to see an upgrade to the graphics.
