How to export Garmin R10 or R50 shot data as a CSV
The Garmin Golf app keeps every shot of a range session, with club speed, path, face and attack angle as well as the ball’s flight. It can export the session as a CSV, and that file is all LaunchtoPin needs.
Export the range session from the Garmin Golf app
-
Open the range session
In the Garmin Golf app on your phone, open the driving range session you want to analyse.
-
Tap the share icon
It sits next to the session’s shot count.
-
Export it as a CSV
Choose Export as CSV, and save the file to your phone or send it to your computer.
-
Upload it to LaunchtoPin
Go to Create my report and drop the CSV in. It works from your phone too.
Any phone language works. The app writes the column names in your phone’s language, and some languages write decimals with a comma (85,2). LaunchtoPin reads both, so upload the file as the app wrote it.
Set the club before you hit. The app saves the club with each shot, and the report uses it to pick the club and compare you with golfers who hit it.
Shots that read 0.0 are skipped. The R10 sometimes records a shot with no ball data. Those rows are left out of the report.
What makes a good file
- One club, plenty of shots. A report looks at one club at a time. It needs at least 10 shots of that club, after big misses are set aside, to sort them into swing groups. More shots make the groups clearer.
- Several clubs in one session is fine. The report starts on the club you hit most, and you can choose another.
- R50 files work too, both the Garmin Golf app’s export and the R50’s own file, with units in its column names.
What you get from a Garmin file
LaunchtoPin sorts your shots by face, path, speed and strike, and puts your best shots against your worst, so you see what your good swings did differently. A Garmin file has:
| In the report | From the Garmin Golf columns |
|---|---|
| Clubface and path | Club Face, Club Path, Face to Path |
| Strike | Smash Factor. Garmin doesn’t record where on the face you hit it. |
| Turf and delivery | Attack Angle. There’s no low point or dynamic loft, so the turf view is estimated. |
| Ball flight | Ball Speed, Launch Angle, Launch Direction, Spin Rate, Spin Axis, Apex Height, Carry Distance and Deviation |
