Can you help with Australia stock?

[@JL-qo7cs]

Nice to see Augusta from this perspective. Would have liked to see the rest of it.

[@saint_leonard74]

Great video thank you for showing the features of the R10, I am still doing some reach own what to buy.

[@OcRobb]

2nd drive. I had to give the video a 👍

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Thanks for watching

[@tylerhenry3665]

It was called to watch but I would like to see more tournament play

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I guess you need to explain more what you are asking? Would be happy to try and cover it. Just be more specific. Thanks for watching!

[@boojiboy2275]

This looks fantastic to me. Hoping to get one soon.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Thanks for watching 🍻

[@scottschoppert9149]

Just bought mine from Best Buy for 499

[@aaroncarter5868]

Hi, great video, how did you get it to look like this in fullscreen/landscape mode? When I do this it is really zoomed in squashed and i can't see any of the fairway, is there a way to zoom out or change the viewing angle? Any help appreciated, thanks

[@qdub2012]

Would still like to buy a Garmin R10 for next winter. Hopefully they will bundle with E6 for first year subscription

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Yeah stock is what is focused on right now. They just need to produce more units. I will be sure to keep everyone update with anything new on the horizon. Thanks for watching!

[@brharrisrtr]

Great video would love to see more of this!

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Thank you. Appreciate you watching!

[@DavidMSmith-vq2tj]

Great Video! Looking to buy a R10 and setup a simulator! Curious what mat and screen you are using as well! Thanks!

[@wbries1]

Great videos! New subscriber... just purchased a Garmin R10 and am in the process of rigging my home simulator. My question is about lighting and what to use. I have a portable garage I will be putting up to house the setup. With an inexpensive projector casting from an android phone, what overhead spotlighting should I have to keep the projector as bright as possible and still see what I'm hitting?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Since r10 doesn’t need light you can really do whatever you feel works well for you. Look for narrow beam type bulbs this will help keep the light less ambient.

[@DanC1515]

Could you remind us of your screen size and what a landscape IOS equates to in ratio.. are you working with 16:10???

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

So every phone is different. I would suggest googling your phone. My iPhone 12 Pro is an odd one. It is 19.5:9. My screen is 16:10 and is 8' tall and 12' wide.

[@Teadrinker710]

Found an open box r10 online for 417 after tax or a very good condition mevo+ for about 1150 after tax. Went with the R10 (home simulator, days I only go on the range and don’t play), open box g80, shot scope pro lx+ rangefinder and tracker, rukket rukknet pop up net, mat, 13ft wellputt putting mat and a few puttout accessories instead of the mevo+. I think the other accessories will develop my game much more than the mevo+ I’ve heard the r10 is really fun which is what I wanted plus something a little more accurate than my g80

[@johnathanwetherill456]

I would have bought one but you cannot get one here in Australia and second hand units are going for 30 to 40 % more than new . Went with a Earnest sports ESB1 for now just to start getting distances .

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Yeah shortage of many products are making markets difficult for sure. Hopefully things get better soon. Thanks for watching

You can also play the original Garmin app in wide format, very often people who only project it in portrait format on the screen?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

As of right now from my testing only the Home Town Hero on course play is in widescreen, not the standard range. You can use others like E6 and Awesome Golf etc. of course in widescreen.

[@MrCarltierney]

do you where i can get any Pro V1 RCT golf balls seem quite hard to come upon great vid cheers jay

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Straight from Titleist is where I got mine. But, do not use them with R10! R10 does not measure spin axis and the metal can actually cause issues with the readings.

[@bv.hd883]

Hi Jay, I purchased the R10 this weekend and it will come with 1YR HTH sub. I have a projector and a Chromecast. Will it be good for projecting on my 10x10 screen? I'm afraid the image will look like a mobile in portrait mode 😂 Gonna need a Pc and GsPro I guess but I want to leverage that first year of HTH and figure it out later. Thx.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Just depends on your projector and the device you are using.

[@bv.hd883]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos I figured out with Projector Central. I'm probably too close for a full 10ft wide 4:3 to get 90in tall. Anyhow, I may as well fire everything up and adjust 😅

[@cryptovike6029]

Awesome golf yardages are perfect, but garmin app playing local courses are off. Not sure how to fix it

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I hear it both ways from users. I’m not sure but awesome golf does have its own algorithm which some many find better. Thanks for watching

[@toddpope5797]

I had heard people talk about the poor graphics, but they remind me a little of awesome golf! Jay you need to watch that snowboard, you got an audience to think of now 🤣

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Yeah I think they are fine considering the cost and being able to use on most decent mobile phones. Trust me, I'm not happy about it. It was a stupid accident I have not gone down on skis or snowboard is so long 🤦‍♂️

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Thanks for watching!

[@ovi2nedelcu2]

can you play other garmin r10 owners/friends online? add them as a friend/player when you start a course?

[@kailin7801]

What version of garmin golf you used? Is home tee hero landscape view related to garmin golf version?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

The is the latest version in the App Store. They released an update to that app which allows for home tee hero to be on landscape now as well. Home Tee Hero is built into the Garmin Golf App. Thanks for watching!

[@coreyelliott4082]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos what update is it? Mine says I’m all caught up on version 2.6 and cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it in landscape mode! Haha, I guess the driving range though still is portrait only?

[@mikeachtereekte7910]

Good day sir. I was wondering where you got the hdmi cable to lighting from? Ps thank you for your help about 5 months ago. I finally got my garmin r10.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

It's a dongle. Just go to Apple accessories.

[@assihassan]

does the R10 read club head speed or ball speed to give data? the Optishot2 only reads club head speed and face so technically can play without a ball, or with a foam ball. Can I play R10 with foam balls?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Check this out. Has all the info :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2SzfHummt-NqKc

[@assihassan]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos hi sure thanks! however this is a 23 minute video and doesn't say if R10 can be played with foam balls or not..please

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

@@assihassan it might pick them up but data would be inaccurate. Any launch monitor that is accurate actually reading the ball is not going to work properly with foam balls

[@dgimagery]

Any idea when these are going to be available again?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

There are some orders shipping that were from a while back but currently nobody can take orders. From what I heard it could be a few months but nothing solid has been released. I will try and keep everyone posted. Thanks for watching!

[@dgimagery]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos Great thanks, just getting back into golf and stumbled across the Garmin and really wanted to buy it. Enjoy the game play videos.

[@TheBenacaster]

I’m looking to buy one but I can’t get my hands on one! Out of stock immediately after they come in. Frustrating.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Yeah stock has been extremely low. Supply is just very low on so many things. Even vehicles!

[@mattblackney3687]

Did you find one?

[@TheBenacaster]

@@mattblackney3687 sure did. Finally!

[@HoselRocketGolf]

Hey Jay! I know you have wayyyyy superior options than the Garmin R10 but wondering if you'd be interested in a friendly head to head Home Tee Hero match? I'm not quite at your skill level but would enjoy the challenge! I'll play any course/tees of your choosing and see if our viewers can top our scores!

[@oliverachleitner3673]

Which projector do you fell is best with this software. I assume 4K is way overkill

[@rayspooner1982]

Are the Home Tee Hero courses free with the unit?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

It is a subscription based app from Garmin. You can download it to check it out. Garmin Golf. Thanks for watching.

[@adrianoregan2531]

How do you get it from iPhone/iPad to projector?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Hdmi dongle. Apple sells them or Amazon

[@adrianoregan2531]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos cheers mate!

[@topgunbass]

How long have you been testing the r10? How do you find the updated version for accuracy for flight path. I've seen other reviews saying accuracy for ball flight in inconsistent. Would love to get one for practice but if it cant trace the ball flight seems a bit useless. What are your thoughts. Thanks

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Since the beginning. It is improved for sure but yes you can see inconsistencies. You just have to understand it's going to be the case for $599. It really a good value but no it doesn't measure spin axis so has not idea for gear effect etc. Thanks for watching!

[@KeithCaldwell]

How do you switch the club or select your club while playing?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I just let it auto select based on distance.

[@KeithCaldwell]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos i played this morning with it and just grabbed the club and it automatically reflected accurate distances. Very impressed

[@bjohnson515]

your screen size is 12 across 8 high? And the iphone HDMI to the projector which has a 16:9 projection......1080p? Yes?

[@johnathanwetherill456]

Can this work with any of the good simulation programs like E6 and TGC ?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Yes check out some of my other r10 videos. I have covered e6, TGC, creative golf, and GSPro

[@js349]

How did you get this in landscape mode?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

As long as you are on the latest software version just turn your phone. It only works for on course play

[@js349]

Maybe it was because I was using a projector but I don't think that worked. I'll have to try again.

[@reeledgesa]

Is it possible to play Augusta (Maybe under another name because of licensing issues) on FSX 2020 or FSX Play? Great vid!

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

No, they do not have the course, even Trackman or e6 doesn't. For sure licensing costs. That's why I thought this was unique they had it.

[@SteNie22Iowa]

what do you use for tees?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Birtees mostly. I am testing some new ones you can see in the community tab in the KZbin channel that are 3D printed and see very durable too.

[@injengines]

What can a person get away with on a projector.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Projectors all come down to screen size and space for throw ratios and sizing. Also lumens and resolution depending on your budget of course. Happy to send you options if you want to email me. [e-mail]

[@injengines]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos I’ll be doing a 9x9 screen and I have 18 ft distance I can use. Low budget also. I’d like to stay under 1k for projector.

[@HoneyBadger_ZR3]

I love my R10 but I feel like my distances are a bit off. I'm sure it's mainly due to my bad striking since I generally put alot of spin through most of my clubs. I'm sure that messes up the algorithm significantly. Other than that, I love reviewing my stats and playing different courses on Home Tee Hero. The game sim is defintley not nice to me but I enjoy it. Awesome vid!! Keep up the content. I'd like to see you play more sim courses and see how your shots vary. Stay safe and get those elbows well hermano.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Thank you. Appreciate you watching.

[@toddpope5797]

I hear you!!Ball striking is a huge deal! Best way to gain 10-15 yards, hit the center of the face!!😂

[@hpsperre]

really struggelig with my r10 giving me weirdly short distances.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I would make sure you are on the latest firmware, use the calibration in the app, and also RCT balls. Those are all key items. Some prefer the alg of apps like Awesome Golf for best carry distances.

[@hpsperre]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos what is the last software. Because i think i alrdy have it + uting rct balls

[@hpsperre]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos just checked have latest software and using the rct balls as mentioned

Want to get one. You know where?

Unfortunately, sold out worldwide. Dealers can't even take orders right now. So only thing to do is jump on a waitlist for now. You can do that here: topshelfgolf.com/products/garmin-approach-r10-launch-monitor-and-golf-simulator?aff=2

[@frankjimenez9890]

So do you think its worth to get for me. I'm a 12 handicap. For now I will use foe the range to know my yards

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

@@frankjimenez9890 I think it can be worth it for any handicap. The distances are in a decent threshold of accuracy based on my testing and you can check those in my videos vs others.

[@frankjimenez9890]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos which you think is better between r 10 or mevo plus?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

@@frankjimenez9890 well I don't have to think, mevo+ reads spin and spin axis indoor vs calculating so it is a more capable unit but costs more of course so makes sense.

[@brendanriley9123]

I just purchased the R10 from Top Shelf Golf, they are getting a new shipment of units and confirmed mine will ship this Friday. Question on shot tracer when utilizing the E6 subscription. Does ball flight / tracer look better on E6 compared to Home Tee Hero? I think both have their use, but the ball flight isn't super appealing on HTH.

[@johnkennedy7274]

Can this be used with a PC?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I am sure you can use a iOS emulator. I have not tried it but I know there are some options. I think the new Macs can run iOS apps now too.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

From what I see here this says there is a PC app, not sure this should be trusted though? pcmac.download/app/1192480582/garmin-golf But also is an android app and I know people have had those running on PC with a emulator too. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.garmin.android.apps.golf&hl=en_US&gl=US

Been waiting for an R10 since November 21, now being told October 22. Should i call it off at this point and get a mevo plus? My concern is I dont want to spend 1000 more on a pro package just to get face to path

Great video! I know you have a ton of experience with different devices and sim softwares. I want to get a simulator and be able to play golf and have fun with it AND train/improve with it. My set up is outdoors hitting into a net and the occasional range. Would you tell me which device/sim software you would go with? I definitely want club path data for training and be able to play games, etc. I’m definitely not interested in a GC Quad or TM bc of the cost. Taking into account the cost of the unit, playability (what it offers), and the annual cost of playing the simulator, what unit & sim software is the best all around unit that’s good for hitting outdoors into a net? Thank you for your opinion!
