Operation

I bought the Garmin and Love it. It is so easy to get up and running. I only wish you didn't need a computer for GSPRO and other apps.

Great, Fun, Easy, Accurate.

Have had a little over a month and completely satisfied. Easy to set up, accurate, and fun with any golf course you can think of. A few wish list items that would be nice: let 1 golfer be able to golf the entire hole then the next rather than alternate shots, if the 2 view screens could be 2 way hdmi external view rather than just one extrnal display and the unit screen, mini games like closest to the pin. Great investment overall.

Gone But Not Forgotten

I bought this for the features. I love everything thing about the R50. Set up, ease of use, screen. Unfortunately I had to return it. I don’t use it at home since I don’t have a sim. I use it at the range only and after a few weeks it became clear it is just a little too big and bulky to use at the range. I downsized to the flight scope Gen 2:(

What I Wanted

This was a Christmas present to myself to help pass the winter and hopefully improve my game. It is a very easy set up and gives all the information on ball strike that I think anyone needs. My only con would be the shot distance seems a little short but it might be a matter of tweaking the system a little. The first golf course that came up was my home course. With Some 43,000 courses to choose from, I don’t think you can get bored.

The Best For A Reason

After doing a lot of research and after already having a Garmin R10, I bought a sim kit with the R50. I LOVE how easy it is to use and the fact that it doesn't require a separate PC like most of the other competitors. The user interface is so intuitive! I also find the accuracy to be very, very good. Home Tee Hero - the course software that comes with the unit - is very well done and there are a TON of courses to choose from. Finally, I like that Garmin can provide additional updates / tweaks in the future. I can heartily recommend the R50 if you are looking for new launch monitor.
