That means it suits garages, garden setups and driving ranges rather than compact 3m-deep indoor bays – for those, look at a camera unit that sits beside or just in front of the ball (SkyTrak+, Square Golf, Bushnell Launch Pro). Indoors or outdoors it's happy either way, as long as it has the space behind the ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it measures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall speed, club head speed, smash factor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaunch angle, launch direction, spin rate and spin axis (radar-calculated indoors)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarry distance, total distance, apex height, shot shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwing tempo, club path and face-to-path style swing metrics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSoftware \u0026amp; subscription – the honest bit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the core metrics, shot tracking and practice-range features work free in the Garmin Golf app. The Home Tee Hero virtual course simulator (42,000+ real courses) needs a Garmin Golf membership (around £8.99\/month), and the R10 also connects to third-party sim software such as E6 Connect and Awesome Golf, which carry their own licences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReturns \u0026amp; software:\u003c\/strong\u003e the launch monitor itself is covered by our 30-day returns policy.
