The Approach R10 should be placed 2.0-2.5 metres behind the ball with an unobstructed view and 2.5-4.0 metres ahead of you so the accurate swing metrics can be recorded. When placing the R10 on the floor, always use the tripod and make sure that it is positioned on the same surface as the ball and that it is level. If using a golf mat place the tripod on the mat.
