“After tons of research, the Garmin R50 from Rain or Shine was the obvious call — and it hasn't disappointed. The data is spot-on, setup was easy, and Rain or Shine actually knew what they were talking about when I had questions. Couldn't be happier.”

Practice Without Limits
A FULL PRACTICE BAY, ANYWHERE YOU SET IT UP
The R50 Practice Package is a complete hitting station — Garmin's all-in-one launch monitor paired with a SwingNet® hitting net and SwingTurf® mat. No screen, no projector, no permanent installation. Set it up in the garage, the backyard, or the basement, and get to work.
Measured, Not Estimated
REAL DATA EVERY SESSION, NOT JUST AT THE RANGE
Three high-speed cameras capture ball and club data directly at impact — ball speed, spin rate, launch angle, club path, and more, displayed instantly on the R50's built-in screen. You're not guessing at your numbers. You're seeing exactly what's happening with every club in your bag, in a space you control.
Indoor or Outdoor
TAKE IT TO THE RANGE. BRING IT BACK HOME.
The R50 is built for both. Use it at home with the SwingNet® for daily reps, then take it to the driving range for outdoor sessions with real ball flight. Up to 4 hours of battery life and a built-in barometer that automatically adjusts carry distances for altitude and conditions — the numbers stay accurate wherever you play.
See What's Actually Happening
HIGH-SPEED IMPACT VIDEO AFTER EVERY SHOT
Every swing plays back as a high-speed impact video directly on the R50's built-in screen. You see exactly how the clubface met the ball — not just the resulting numbers, but the actual contact. It's the kind of feedback that typically requires a coach or a range session with dedicated cameras. The R50 puts it in your hands every time you hit.
Room to Grow
START HERE. ADD A SCREEN WHEN YOU'RE READY.
The Practice Package is the right entry point for golfers who want real launch monitor data without committing to a full simulator room yet. When you're ready to go bigger, the R50's HDMI port and GSPro, E6 Connect, and TGC compatibility mean your investment carries forward — you're not starting over, just adding to what you already have.

Build Your Custom Bundle
The R50 Practice Package is for the golfer who wants serious practice data without building a full simulator room. At the center is the Garmin Approach R50 — a launch monitor that measures ball and club data through three high-speed cameras and displays everything instantly on a built-in 10" touchscreen. No phone mount, no tablet, no separate device. Set it down next to the SwingNet®, step up to the SwingTurf® mat, and start hitting. The numbers are there the second the ball leaves the clubface.
What makes this package worth the investment over a standalone launch monitor is that the R50 doesn't just give you numbers — it gives you context. High-speed impact video after every shot. Per-club stat tracking across sessions. Dispersion data that shows you where your misses are going and how consistent your contact actually is. That's coaching-level feedback in a setup that fits a two-car garage. And when you want to take it outside, the built-in barometer adjusts your carry numbers automatically for altitude and temperature — your data is accurate at home or at the range.
If there's any chance you'll want to build into a full simulator room down the road, the R50 is the right foundation. The HDMI port and third-party software compatibility mean everything you learn and log in practice carries into a full room when you're ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Practice Package comes with a choice of SwingNet® Pro (7'H x 7'W) or SwingNet® Pro XL (8'H x 8'W), and a SwingTurf® mat in either 5x5 or 4x9. See the What's Included tab for full specs on each option. Not sure which net fits your space? Send us your dimensions and we'll advise.
Yes — the R50 runs Home Tee Hero natively on its built-in touchscreen, so you can play full virtual rounds directly on the device without a projector or screen. If you want to play on a larger display, you can connect the R50 to any TV or monitor via HDMI. A full simulator room experience with an impact screen would require adding an enclosure, screen, and projector — our bundle builder can help you configure that upgrade when you're ready.
A Garmin Golf membership ($100/year) is required to access Home Tee Hero's 43,000+ courses. Practice mode, shot data, impact video playback, and per-club stat tracking are all available without a subscription. Third-party software licenses (GSPro, E6 Connect, TGC) are purchased separately if you decide to go that route.
Yes. The R50 is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, with up to 4 hours of battery life and a built-in barometer that adjusts carry distances for altitude and atmospheric conditions. The SwingNet® is also designed for outdoor use. Take the whole setup to the backyard or use the R50 standalone at the driving range — either way, the data stays accurate.
Yes — the R50 is the launch monitor either way. When you're ready to add an enclosure, impact screen, and projector, the R50 connects via HDMI and works with third-party software like GSPro and E6 Connect with a gaming PC. Your data history and per-club stats carry forward. When you're ready to build out the full room, our team can help you configure the right package around the R50 you already have.
