Rapsodo Mobile Launch Monitor for Golf Indoor and Outdoor Use with GPS Satellite View and Professional Level Accuracy, iPhone & iPad Only

Product Information

So you can go right through your golf bag and hit several shots with each club, and by the end of the session your gapping will be complete and you'll know exactly how far - and how straight - you hit each club. Well, here’s an entirely hypothetical situation that certainly didn’t happen in real life and it most definitely didn’t happen to me. No sir. The Mevo+ includes ownership of 10 different golf courses in simulation mode (including The Belfry and Bay Hill), and 17 practice ranges that each provide unique skill challenges, with no additional license fee required. The data is simple to digest and you can delete certain shots during your hitting session if you wish. The accuracy also blew us away and we enjoyed the convenient lightweight portability of the simulator as well. It works in conjunction with the free Rapsodo app on your iOS smartphone indoors or outdoors. After setting up an account and logging in, rest your phone in the front slot and position it approximately six feet behind the ball.

You can store up to 100 shots in the free version, but by upgrading to premium it allows you to build a library of thousands of shots. Personally I don’t see any reason why you would need more than the hundred, but each to their own. The Rapsodo MLM2Pro is a golf launch monitor and simulator with a dual camera, Swing Vision, virtual driving ranges, and compatibility with E6 Connect and other golf simulation platforms. It also offers slow-motion replay, club-fitting charts, virtual competitions, and games with increased compatibility with Android phones. The MLM2Pro is a personal golf launch monitor and simulator with a dual camera feature that allows for video recording of golf swings. It has a “Swing Vision” feature that pairs with a phone or tablet to capture multiple angles of each swing. It also offers access to virtual driving ranges and thousands of virtual golf courses. The device is compatible with E6 Connect and other golf simulation platforms, providing features such as four-speed slow-motion replay, club-fitting performance charts, virtual competitions, and games. Additionally, it has more compatibility with Android phones. SkyTrak has also teamed up with market-leading golf computer game developers World Golf Tour, and leading simulation partners like E6 Connect to provide users access to over 100,000 golf courses including some of the best in the world (Pebble Beach, Bandon Dunes, and St Andrews to name a few). Simply put, this is the industry 'gold standard' when it comes to measuring performance metrics related to swing path and ball flight characteristics, and is the monitor we use for our testing protocols. Are you going to be using the monitor inside or outside? If you look to focus on the former then investing in a proper setup may be the way to go whilst if you want to use a monitor outside then something convenient and portable is a better call.

Frequently Asked Questions:

But picture this. You’ve been working on a slight swing change to add more distance to your drives and you decide to put this new change to the test with the new Rapsodo MLM device you’re reviewing. Your usual carry distance with driver is around 210 yards but this magical swing fix is suddenly producing drives that are showing on the Rapsodo as 235-240 yards. Some even maxed out at 250 yards! Not only does the launch monitor have to be clear in displaying data, but you the player needs to have some understanding of what those numbers mean. FAQs Is it worth getting a launch monitor?

The RPT balls work great and I like that they’re premium golf balls. I really wish they could be cheaper and/or have 2 sleeves included with the yearly membership. The answer to this question kind of depends on what level you are as a golfer. If you are beginner, then your money will best be used purchasing lessons from a PGA professional whereas if you are an aspiring professional they can prove invaluable because of the information given. Additionally we also think low to mid-handicap players can learn and improve by using launch monitors as well, and this is made possible because of the variety of models at different price points currently on the market. Are golf launch monitors accurate? Radar-based technologies can also struggle with light sensitivity which can occasionally lead to some unreliabilities. The Launch Pro system promises to deliver unmatched precision and reliability, irrespective of whether you are practicing indoors or out. Nearly every touring professional uses a launch monitor to hone their swings and many amateurs are also making the most of the technology now to improve their games too. Launch monitors these days are also very convenient because they can often be folded up nicely, or they are handheld devices so are highly portable. Garmin’s range of golf training aids is something to behold so when it entered the launch monitor market, the rest of the industry was always going to hold its breath.As for what it measures, the SC4 pretty much has all the necessary metrics. It starts out with distance, which can be toggled between carry and total distance. It provides launch direction, as well as swing speed (clubhead speed, which seems to be extrapolated) and ball speed, launch angle, apex, smash factor (how solidly you are hitting it) and spin. I have hit around 1000 swings into a net with it, and it just keeps getting better. I have already discovered several swing flaws thanks to the camera options and shot data. I have had great performance with both my cellular iPhone and cellular iPad Pro. I’ve had a few disconnects in the past, but the recent updates have helped. Not everyone is particularly interested in swing data, particularly the deep dive technical stuff that most casual (and many serious) golfers don’t understand anyway. Being able to record your swing and have all the relevant data overlaid onto a video that you can send to your friends or post to social media is just a really cool thing though. It’s also pretty damn useful as it allows you to chart your progress in a way that’s more entertaining than just looking at a load of numbers. Seeing your swing with all the data overlaid on top of the video just seems a lot less boring for the casual golfer. A: Through Rapsodo’s partnership with Callaway, Rapsodo specially engineered balls using Rapsodo Precision Technology (RPT). The custom designed Callaway RPT Chrome Soft X Golf Balls deliver the ultimate golf experience by providing spin measurements within 1% of the accuracy of high-priced launch monitors. The lines on the screen and the GPS overhead view help you align it correctly and select your hitting direction for enhanced accuracy. We should also mention the portability because its small size and lightness means it can easily go in your bag all the time. This model also made our guide on the best cheap launch monitors because the Rapsodo's price represents incredible value for this accurate, easy to use and fun launch monitor.

The latest version has a higher-quality dual radar sensor, an improved processor and algorithm to increase accuracy, a larger, high-resolution display and improved wedge measurement (especially on higher-lofted shots) to capture more shots, as well as the ability to switch between yards and meters. You can also use it with any SuperSpeed swing training clubs to see if your exercises are increasing the amount of speed you can generate. A word of advice when it comes to driver though. Make sure you have the setting on “carry distance” and not “total distance”. This is important otherwise you may end up having to deal with crushing disappointment. “Why’s that, Dave?” I hear you ask. Swing vision feature for capturing multiple angles of each swing when paired with a phone or tablet This is a big factor because when we have the time to practice, we don't want to waste any of it trying to work out technological issues. This makes the smaller devices like the Swing Caddie SC300 and Rapsodo particularly appealing.

There are lots of similarities with the GCQuad, which is no bad thing, in particular how easy it is to use and the speed at which it does its measurements for around a third of the price. Factor in the indoor and simulator experiences and the GC3 is an appealing prospect for the serious golfer. We have to mention price when discussing launch monitors. There will be some who can afford the top-of-the-range designs but many more won't. However as we have shown above there are still some very good more affordable models too.

We test all golf technology as comprehensively as possibleto gauge performance over time and whether it can actually help your golf game. As you would expect, this involves using different models regularly, and in different situations to see how the technology performs. A good example is using a monitor inside/outside, or in different types of weather.Of course many of the launch monitors also get used a lot because we do so much club testing as well. Q: Will I get spin rate and spin axis if I use a regular golf ball instead of the Callaway RPT balls? I managed 3 sessions in the first week(!) – one at the range and more importantly, two at home hitting into a net (saving me time and money). The unit was very easy to set up and get moving each time. Each session proved extremely helpful, from the ability to see results of 11 different metrics instantaneously as well as the great video clarity that captured and auto-replayed every shot (a setting you can toggle on/off).

When discussing the best golf launch monitors there are a number of factors to consider. Let's take a look at them. Why is this so portable you may ask? Well, it comes with a charging cable and nice carrying case and, whilst this redesigned unit is a little bulkier and heavier than other models on this list, it easily fitted into our golf bag. This meant we could use it prior to our round or for a practice session, with the SC4 featuring an easy-to-use remote control that magnetically attaches to the unit itself. That remote makes it super easy to change modes, clubs, and adjust other settings while you’re hitting balls. The primary function of the Rapsodo MLM is to give you data on your shot but what makes it stand out from its competitors is that it also provides a video of it, with the information overlaid on screen. It does this via an iPhone (or iPad) which sits on the device and communicates with it via bluetooth. The MLM records the shot data and sends it to your smart device, while the Rapsodo app accesses the camera on your device and records a video of each shot you take. Not only does the launch monitor have to be clear in displaying data, but you the player needs to have some understanding of what those numbers mean. FAQs Are portable launch monitors worth it?
