I figured what better place to test it out then my home course of Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club. I wanted to be able to verify the accuracy of the shots along the way so I setup the UNEEKOR EYE XO to play along side to compare data.

The Approach R10 uses radar to analyze several metrics like your club path, launch angle, ball speed, and estimated distances and direction. It does not use GPS, but based on its placement to the ground, it will be able to provide shot data without GPS data or elevation information. The accuracy for the radar metrics are outlined below.
Garmin R10 Radar Accuracy
Measured by radar
Club head speed accuracy: +/- 3 mph
Ball speed accuracy: +/- 1 mph
Launch angle accuracy: +/- 1 degree
Launch direction accuracy: +/- 1 degree
Calculated by algorithm
Club face angle accuracy: +/- 2 degrees

The accuracy depends on proper placement of the Approach R10.
