R10 used with metallic dots

The unit uses radar, therefore dots have no effect on how the unit picks up the ball flight. The dots are for systems that utilize cameras. 

Actually, the dots are also used for radar based systems. You can use them with Trackman or Flightscope LMs. Garmin-Rob  Maybe that’s something Garmin could look further into so as to improve accuracy indoors?

Mevo (Doppler not camera) successfully uses metallic dots to increase spin accuracy. Would be beneficial to Garmin if this can be explored; particularly given early feedback of inaccurate spin numbers and misrepresentation of shot shape. 

I'm curious how dots would help since the spin is being calculated based on club path and face angle, and not actually measured, like a camera-based system. 

Practical experience: i put reflective dots on a ball and hit a few. it just didn’t register swings. Only 1 out of 4 swings are picked up.

The metallic dots work for radar based systems because they give a spike in the reflected signal each time the ball rotates around so that the dot is facing the radar. You can then measure the frequency of the spikes to get a spin rate.
