  • Spin Rate (measured, not calculated)

But is it accurate?

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!”

Garmin R50’s Golf Simulation Options — Home Tee Hero & Third-Party Compatibility

Let’s zero in on what you can do simulator-wise with this epic golf launch monitor! 

You’ve already learned that you can make it the centerpiece of your home golf simulator setup, or take it anywhere—to the range, a buddy’s, to a net set up in your garage or backyard—and play virtual golf as well.

So, what kind of virtual golf can you get on this thing?

As of right now, you have four fantastic options (it’s possible Garmin will add more options later, like they did with the R10):

  • Home Tee Hero (Garmin’s proprietary sim software)
  • E6
  • GSPro
  • Awesome Golf

It’s important to note that you will need a PC and Wi-Fi connection to play third-party software—i.e., anything not Home Tee Hero. Third-party sim software will also require additional subscription costs.

Exclusively for the R50, Garmin has run its Home Tee Hero software through a technical boot camp, and it has come out the other side with much more realistic graphics and  improved mapping. Translation: it looks far more realistic. This upgrade will not trickle down to the Approach R10. It’s an R50 exclusive! All you need is a Garmin Premium Golf subscription, that is still only $9.99/month or $99.99/year!
