Foresight Falcon: https://www.foresightsports.com/pages... GSPro: https://gsprogolf.com/ TEST NOTES The comparisons shown are individual indoor shots, not a controlled accuracy certification. The club-data section demonstrates R50 readings rather than a paired club-data comparison. External simulator options are discussed; the course-play demonstration uses the R50's built-in simulator. Two wedge readings are corrected on screen: R50 shot 2 carry is 68.0 yards, and shot 3 carry is 62.0 yards. The 70.6- and 67-yard readings are session averages. Both corrected carries are 0.3 yards from the corresponding Falcon readings. Prices quoted reflect the review and can change. Check current listings and Garmin's current subscription details before buying; used inventory and included accessories vary.
