If you want to start practicing with real data without dropping six figures, the R10 is the most cost-effective place to begin. It turns “I think I hit that well” into numbers you can actually look back on — how far you carried it, whether the face was open or shut, whether you’re spinning it too much. Use it at the range or hit into a net at home, and hook it up to course simulation to keep your game sharp between rounds. It’s the first piece of kit anyone getting serious about their scores should own.
