Description
The Garmin Approach® R50 is a premium portable golf launch monitor and simulator that does something no other unit in its class can: it runs everything on its own bright 10-inch built-in color touchscreen, with no PC, projector or phone required. A three-camera system captures more than 15 measured ball and club metrics, including spin rate and spin axis, plus club path data and high-speed impact videos for every shot. Select Play mode and you can tee it up on more than 43,000 real courses through Home Tee Hero with a Garmin Golf™ membership, or connect to third-party simulators like GSPro, E6 Connect and Awesome Golf over Wi-Fi. An HDMI output lets you mirror the action to a projector or TV with customizable split-screen views, while training mode tracks club-by-club stats and shot dispersion. With a built-in barometer for distance accuracy, up to four hours of battery life and an included carrying case, the R50 brings tour-level practice and play to almost any space, indoors or out.
