Robust, Accurate Golf Launch Monitor Data—Right Out of the Box

First, let’s talk about what you get …

Ball Data:

• Ball Speed
• Launch Angle
• Launch Direction
• Spin Rate (measured, not calculated)
• Spin Axis (measured, not calculated)
• Smash Factor
• Total Distance
• Carry Distance
• Total Deviation
• Apex Height

Club Data:

• Clubhead Speed
• Path Angle
• Angle of Attack
• Face Angle
• Face to Path

Now, let’s talk accuracy …

According to our golf reviewer, Marc, who was one of the first to spend some time with the R50, 

“I gotta say, I was incredibly impressed with the R50. I put it head-to-head against the Foresight Sports GC3, which I know is dead-on accurate. Across the board, the R50 was right there, within a yard or two, a degree or two, and a hundred-or-so RPMs on all of the data points. Very, very impressive!”

And finally, the Garmin R50’s unique data presentation … 

The R50 golf simulator display is fully customizable so you can see your data in multiple ways.

You can choose to see a map, complete with a ball tracer. Or data tiles that you can arrange in whatever order you’d like. You can also get club path, face angle, and spin visuals, showing you exactly how the ball is coming off the clubface for each individual shot. And the R50 automatically records a close-up impact video of each of your shots.

What’s really cool is that you can choose any of these looks as a full-screen display, or any combination of two as a split-screen. And it gets even more impressive when you plug the HDMI into a TV or projector and create even more ways to view your data and play!

The Garmin Approach R50’s Incomparable Suite of Features

So, you don’t need a connection for the R50—amazing! And you can play Home Tee Hero on this thing, anywhere—sweet! But is there anything else special about this self-contained golf launch monitor and simulator? You bet your a** there is!

Here’s what else you get with this magnificent beast:

• Three high-speed cameras, which translates to reliable accuracy and measured, not estimated, metrics!
• Club path metrics—at no extra cost! (Requires Garmin’s club stickers that come with purchase.)
• Built-in, stunning 10-inch color touchscreen display.
• More visible data on the screen than competitors.
• More realistic feel in Home Tee Hero graphics!
• Putting for simulator play.
• The R50 automatically captures impact videos for every shot!
• An HDMI output that lets you mirror to an external display what’s on your R50 display or even different views. For example: See a split screen of a flyover of the hole and your chosen data tiles on the R50 screen, while you have the view from you shot on an impact screen! 
• Third-party sim options via a PC and Wi-Fi connection.  
• It’s the easiest to set up—no, really! You won’t believe it, until you see it.
• It requires less space than the Approach R10—about 12’ of room depth.
• Shot light indicator that’s nice and visible at the bottom of the unit.
• A carry handle (nice because the R50 is larger than most portable launch monitors).
• All the best launch monitor data (see details in next section).
• An amazing, uber-protective carrying case!
