Garmin R50
I've had the R50 for about 6 weeks. It is an incredible piece of technology. Unreal accuracy and more than enough data to satisfy any golfer. I've done 2 side by side comparisons versus Trackman and the data is spot on. Carry/total distance within 1-3 yards, spin within 200rpm and launch/decent angle identical. The level of accuracy against the Trackman is unreal, I was using ProV1 RCT balls to ensure Trackman was measuring spin and such accurately and the Garmin R50 was matching it shot for shot. The HTH game play is great, I'd like to see an upgrade to the graphics.

Step Up From My Garmin R10
I've been using a radar-based unit, Garmin R10, for the past summer. It works fine outside, but in late fall I attempted to use it inside my garage. I discovered tons of interference when I tried to use it inside my garage. After hours of trial and error, I just wasn’t able to use the R10 inside. Unfortunately, the main reason I bought a launch monitor was to use it inside during the winter months (I live in NE USE). After much research I deiced to invest in an optical launch monitor. I determined that the Garmin R50 would fit my requirements nicely. There are two main reasons I went with the Garmin R50. I needed something that would be quick and easy to setup and take down. In addition, I wanted to retain the HOME TEE HERO feature. As previously stated, I mainly want to use my launch monitor inside my garage. Living in the NE part of the US, parking your vehicles outside during the winter is not a great option. So, I needed a monitor that would set-up and pack away in an easy and timely manner. The fact that the Garmin R-50 is a self-contained (monitor/screen) unit fits my needs. Secondly, coming from the Garmin R10, I was very familiar with the HOME TEE HERO application. I love that feature from Garmin, as I continuously practice/play on my local golf courses. Beyond the easy and features, I can honestly say the Gamin R50 appears to be very accurate. I make the same mistakes on my local courses in HOME TEE HERO as I do on the real course. When that happens, I say to myself, “yep that is about right”. All joking aside, the measurements appear very accurate to my real like numbers. Even though I spent more money than I wanted to, I can honestly say I’m very happy with my purchase. I believe other buyers would feel the same.

Overall
I have had the R50 for a month now . It has been great there are a few features that I am not crazy about . Mulligan feature does not allow you to go back if you miss the short window . It is difficult at times to connect with the GSPro software

Putting Is Terrible
Another update and the putting is now worse. Can't figure out how to fix it. Good less than half the time. Frustrating
