The Garmin Approach® R50 Premium Golf Launch Monitor and Simulator is built for golfers who want to practice and play year-round—at home or on the driving range. With a 10” built-in color touchscreen display, it puts key data, impact review, and course play in one portable setup.
Designed to help refine performance from drive to putt, this configuration delivers direct measurement of more than 15 ball and club metrics, captures high-speed impact footage, and supports training tools such as shot dispersion tracking and bag mapping. It’s compatible with every club in the bag, including putters, and includes a carrying case to make moving between setups straightforward.
Display
A 10” LCD color touchscreen display makes it easy to tap through insights, review high-speed impact videos, and run a round without needing an external screen for basic interaction. With 800 x 1280 pixels of resolution and touchscreen input, sessions can be managed directly on the unit from setup through post-shot review.
Training
Approach® R50 provides direct measurements across a wide set of launch monitor metrics to support more informed practice. It tracks ball performance and club delivery, helping golfers understand key outcomes such as carry distance and total distance, along with details like spin rate, launch direction, and club head speed.
Battery
This premium launch monitor works inside or on the driving range, making it a fit for both dedicated simulator spaces and portable practice. Up to 4 hours of battery life supports range sessions, and an included carrying case helps with setup, stowage, and transport when moving between locations.
Connectivity
With measurement technology based on 3 high-speed cameras, Approach® R50 is built to deliver precision capture for both metrics and visual review. High-speed impact videos provide immediate feedback on strike and contact, giving golfers a practical way to connect what they feel in the swing to what actually happens at impact.
Navigation
For simulator play, Approach® R50 supports full rounds from drive to putt and can run sessions for up to four players on more than 43,000 courses using the Home Tee Hero app. Home Tee Hero requires an active subscription, and the experience is designed to bring real-course variety into an in-home golf setup.
Training
Training Mode helps organize practice with stats for each club and a shot dispersion chart based on an advanced ball flight trajectory model. Over time, session comparison makes it possible to track and compare performance trends, while bag mapping helps evaluate clubs and understand typical distances throughout the set.
