Approach R10 
You track with a Garmin Approach R10.
Now change your game.
The R10 is the cheapest way to measure a full bag properly, it uploads itself, and its numbers already hold the answer. AVA reads every session and tells you which gap is costing you the most, and how to close it.
FREE · NO CARD · NO ACCOUNT NEEDED
One Garmin Approach R10 session in. Your gapping cost you more than your strike did. A 6-yard hole between the 7 and 8-iron leaves 17 yards below it that nothing covers.
Range session
Only 38% of your 7-irons land within 5 yards of your average.
FIX › Club up off the short misses. Your number is the strike you rarely hit, not the one you average.
Two clubs cover the same 6 yards, so 17 yards below has no club at all.
FIX › Get the 8-iron loft checked before you change the swing. Two degrees puts a club back in that hole.
4 YDS LEFT · 6 SHORT
The miss is the same shape every club: four yards left.
FIX › Aim at the right edge and commit. Setup, not swing. Worth about a stroke a round.
Your first 60 balls are the good ones. It falls off a cliff after that.
FIX › Same total balls, shorter sessions. Two sets of 60 beats one set of 140.
Try it on one R10 session first
No account needed. Export a session from Garmin Golf, drop the CSV here with your email address, and AVA reads every shot in it — carry, dispersion, strike quality and gapping — then emails you the analysis. Connect Garmin afterwards and the same thing happens on its own, session after session, with no export step at all.
That's one session. AVA reads your whole game.
Practice sessions and course rounds in one timeline, trends over time, a progression that adapts as you improve, and a coach view when you want one.

The cheapest way to fix the most expensive problem
An R10 costs a fraction of what the units above it cost, and it measures carry, which happens to be the input for the single most expensive fault in an amateur bag.
Look at the ladder in the sample session: two clubs covering the same six yards, and a seventeen-yard band below them with nothing in it. That costs strokes every round and it is invisible on a golf course, because on a course you take a bit more club and move on.
One structured session with an R10 finds it. A bench visit fixes it. No premium unit was required at any point, and the fix outlasts any swing change you make this year.
It uploads itself, which changes the habit
Every other consumer launch monitor asks you to remember an export step at the end of a bucket, in the cold, when you want to go home. Most people don't, and the data quietly evaporates.
R10 sessions land in your Garmin account on their own. Connect Garmin to AVA once and the entire chain from swing to analysis runs without you touching it again.
That is why an R10 owner's history in AVA tends to be far more complete than a more expensive unit's. Consistency of capture beats precision of measurement for almost every question an amateur actually has.
Outdoors on grass, if you can
Radar infers less the more flight it sees. An R10 on a driving range with two hundred yards in front of it is measuring; the same unit eight feet from a garage net is doing considerably more modelling.
So the ideal R10 session for gapping is outdoors, on a range, one club at a time. The ideal R10 session for strike work can be indoors, because club speed, ball speed and smash factor hold up in a net.
AVA reads them differently on purpose. Indoor sessions set your strike baseline; outdoor sessions and tracked rounds set the yardages you actually play to.
Approach R10 questions, answered
Do I need to export anything from the R10?
Not once you've connected Garmin: sessions sync into your Garmin account and AVA reads them from there, which is the R10's quiet advantage over every other unit at its price. If you'd rather see the analysis before you set anything up, export one session from Garmin Golf and drop the CSV in the box above instead.
Is the R10 accurate enough to be worth analysing?
For the two findings that cost most golfers the most strokes (a gapping hole and an unreliable yardage), comfortably. AVA is careful with spin, which the R10 estimates rather than measures.
Why does AVA call my spin 'estimated'?
Because it's modelled from ball flight rather than measured off a marked ball. Descent-angle and green-holding conclusions rest on spin, so AVA marks those directional instead of presenting them as settled.
Indoors or outdoors?
Outdoors for gapping: radar models less the more flight it sees. Indoors is fine for strike work, since club speed, ball speed and smash factor hold up into a net.
Does it work with the rounds off my watch?
Yes, and that's the best thing about it. One Garmin connection brings in both, so AVA can compare your practice carry to the distances your watch measured on the course.
