It does not detect gear affect which is everything. A toy until you break 100 or only use it outside at a range.

It's there a high value, lower cost projector to pair with this great deal? I know that's kind of a subjective question, but I don't know anything about projectors.
this isn't a projection type launch monitor. it's for outdoors. pair a square monitor with a projector of you are looking for an indoor set-up
You absolutely can use the R10 with a projector and Awesome Golf software! Why so so many people just throw out info when they have no idea what they are talking about?

doesnt detect spin though
given this, not much better than the old rapsodo or golfboy app?
I have this. It does detect spin.
I think it calculates a lot of what it shows using an algorithm not actually measures most of it! That being said for $370 you can't go wrong! This is the cheapest I have ever seen it for anywhere.

for a higher value lower cost projector look for a 3000 lumen 1080P short throw projector with a bulb. You need a short throw projector for a golf simulator if you don't want your shadow on the screen. 1080P and with a bulb because that is the cheapest options and 3000 lumens because you are going to want some ambient lighting so you can see to hit the ball



and if you use lower lumen projector your image will wash out with even the most dim of ambient lighting. Ideally you want lens shift but to get that you are leaving the budget category and the price will go way up for that option but you can get away with horizontal and vertical keystone correction and vertical is a absolute must have but the good news is most projectors that aren't $30 Amazon specials have that feature. Here is bout the cheapest one I would recommend ViewSonic PA503S 4000 Lumens SVGA High Brightness Projector for Home and Office with HDMI Vertical Keystone the link isn't working just search that on Amazon Get the SVGA if you buy a 4:3 golf simulator and get the 1080P if you buy a widscreen golf simulator. If you want a cheap net and screen this is about the cheapest https://cimarronsports.com/5-x-10...sYQAvD_BwE You will need additional EMT conduit from the hardware store thats around $200 more to complete it. just get this version Golf Net and Impact Projection Screen with Frame Corner Kit this is a 4:3 screen so you could go with the lower cost SVGA projector. This is very close to the simulator I set up it has been modified a bit since then but it served me well and was easy on the wallet. You can cut the EMT conduit shorter if you don't have 10' high ceilings and roll the excess on the bottom. I had 10' bit i made the simulator 9'4 so I had some room if i a ball hit the top the net would catch it and not the ceiling you need an air gap between the net and the wall the more the better up to maybe a foot. You can get away with less if you put a second net over the top or some heavy canvas or blanket or whatever behind the impact screen. Any simulator software will be able to run at whatever resolution you set the PC to output so just match the projector and the screen aspect ratio I.E. 4:3 or 16:9 and if both are the same it will give the best performance. You can crop a projector to other aspect rations but you loose light lumens and you loose resolution when you do that and the only reason I would suggest doing that is if you got some slick deal on both the projector and the screen and they happen not not be the same but the price made it worth doing.

Because it's not as good as a Bushnell or Foresight monitor for 5 times this price. The same people would crap on a deal for a Corvette because a Ferrari is much better.

No, this isn't an ultra detailed indoor golf simulator, but it works really well outdoors and well enough indoors, especially for the money.

I had to return mine because it didn't like all the hvac equipment in my basement. You need a room without much metal. Great unit otherwise. It's getting older and the newer square for $700 is probably taking some sales.

Seems like a smoking deal.

I have been down the entry level simulator rabbit hole for a while and have not pulled the trigger. My son is LH and I am RH which limits our options to behind the golfer or above the golfer as I want to avoid resetting the unit each time; also want something somewhat portable to take to the range or out into the yard - that doesnt help the Bushnell launch pro. Rapsodo MLM2PRO seems best for us at this point in time for our needs but this is very enticing.

My main focuses have been this Garmin (now $379), the Rapsodo MLM2PRO ($599 + $199/yr subscription dont love that), and the new Mevo 2 ($1199 currently; the interwebs seem to expect the ability to upgrade software to expand capabilities for a software upgrade cost in future).

Not to threadjack, but asking anyway - interested in hearing anyones thoughts on the above - particularly if they share common objectives - LH/RH interoperability, portability, entry-ish level cost.

This is the starter drug of golf simulators! I bought mine previous sale for same price.
Although I have upgrade my launch monitor for my Sim. I kept R10 for range days due to its portable form factor, and ease of use and setup. I always have it I my golf bag and a short legged tripod for my phone. You can't beat this accuracy and ability to record, save, and view live data without lugging a seperate large launch minor imo. Although, there is that new Mevo 2 that cost much more I believe

I went with this over the others because of lower price and larger amount of metrics. subscription for rapsodo killed it for me. as I said earlier, considering it's 10% of the price of the next level of monitors, it's a great entry point. if you have a 20k budget for a setup or you're trying to go pro, get something better. but the club metrics on this are most excellent if you're trying to iron out your swing on your own
