Built In Launch Monitor And Putting Metrics

The built-in launch monitor captures ball speed, club speed, smash factor, and tempo so you can see how efficiently you are striking the ball. When you move to the putting green, the device tracks stroke length and tempo, giving you insight into consistency that most golfers never get access to. Instead of guessing if your swing feels good or your putting stroke looks smooth, you see clear numbers that help you make smarter adjustments before the round even starts.

  • Measures ball speed, club speed, smash factor, and temp
  • Tracks putting stroke length and tempo for better consistency
  • Helps fine tune your swing before stepping on the course
  • Turns warmups into productive practice sessions
  • Portable design makes it easy to use anywhere at the facility

Smarter Shot Decisions With Virtual Caddie, Plays Like Distances, and Real-Time Wind Information

The Approach G82 removes uncertainty from club selection by factoring in the elements that affect how the ball actually travels. Plays Like distances adjust yardage based on elevation and environmental conditions, giving you numbers you can trust. The virtual caddie recommends clubs using wind, elevation, and your swing data or your mapped bag distances. Paired with the Garmin Golf app, you also see wind speed and direction, helping you commit fully to each shot.

  • Plays Like distances adjust for elevation and conditions
  • Virtual caddie provides club recommendations
  • Uses swing data or bag mapping for personalized advice
  • Wind speed and direction when paired with the app
  • Helps reduce second guessing and indecision
