Garmin, Approach R10
Garmin Approach R10
This portable Doppler-radar monitor works for practice at home and at the range. The minimum sensor-to-net geometry comes to 14 feet, and safe swing and net clearances are on top of that.
Pick this instead ifdriving-range practice is what you need most
Key facts
- Set the sensor 6-8 feet behind the ball, and leave at least 8 feet for the ball to fly into a net.
- Sensor-to-net geometry of at least 14 feet is a minimum. It does not certify a room size as safe.
The catch
It depends on your phone for the core experience, which keeps it from being a true standalone range monitor.
