 I couldn’t be happier with the Garmin R50 launch monitor. It is a massive upgrade from my previous launch monitor and has so many amazing features. Based on my usage so far I find it to be very accurate.

I am pretty impressed with the Garmin R50. I have not had any trouble with missed shots and the club distance is right on to the distance on the course. Awesome machine and tool for golf to make you better.
