Garmin R10 vs Square Golf Home: Space and Spec Records
The records differ in placement and sensing. The R10 sits behind the tee on radar, capturing 6 to 8 feet to the tee and 8 feet to the net; the Square Golf Home sits beside the ball on camera, with placement instructions, lighting and zone notes instead of numeric clearances. Neither record measures the space a swing needs.

What the Garmin R10 and Square Golf Home records carry
The R10 record places the sensor behind the tee and measures with radar. It captures 6 to 8 feet from the sensor position to the tee and at least 8 feet from the tee to the net impact plane. The Square Golf Home record places the unit beside the ball and measures with a high-speed camera and built-in infrared LED lighting. It carries placement instructions with lighting and zone notes instead of numeric clearances: a room with little to no sunlight and hitting zones for ball striking and virtual shots. Swing space and screen setback are not stated in the captured records.
Room checks after the comparison
GolfCompat states captured records and names where each one lives. The R10 distance fields sit on the Garmin R10 clearance page. Square Golf Home has no model space page on this site, so the room dimensions page covers the space questions its record leaves open. The ceiling check tool applies the same record method to room height.
