Rapsodo - Mobile Launch Monitor for Golf, Indoor & Outdoor Simulator, Golf Swing Analyzer & Tracker, Measures Ball Speed, Club Speed & Launch Angle, GPS Satellite View, iPhone & iPad Only

I did quite a bit of research on launch monitors. I compared the Rapsodo to the following; Swing Caddie SC300i, Swing Caddie SC4, Garmin R10, Rapsodo MLM2Pro and the FlightScope Mevo. Both Swing Caddies have positive features, but users complain that the associated app is terrible. The Flight Scope Mevo has limited data on it's app. The Garmin R10 probably has the most features but Costs twice as much and several of the appealing features of the Garmin require a subscription. The Rapsodo MLM2 Pro, is new to the market and most of the reviews were for pre-production (not fully functioning) units. It two is more than double the price of the MLM. I had a hard time deciding as all the units have pros and cons. The amount of data available on the MLM and the integrated flight tracing was appealing. In the end I decided to give it a go. If I thought it wasn't user friendly I could always return it to AMAZON. What was it like to live with the MLM? The Rapsodo MLM was a little finicky to initially setup, but that seems fairly normal for integrating hardware with cell phones (some of this I'm sure was operator error). After setting it up at home I went to the range and it worked as advertised. It picked up all my shots (77). I changed my clubs 8 times and only once did it not pickup the right club with the iphone camera (perhaps I didn't hold the club still enough). My phone is 3 years old and had about a 95% charge at the beginning at the end it was down to 46%. But it did take 77 short videos so not surprising. First time out, I think it worked very well. I was pleasantly surprised. I would recommend you give it a try. update 6/15/23 I've now used the MLM 14 times. Occasionally, I have trouble setting it up where it doesn't pick up my shots. I think this mostly getting the alignment right, but once you get it lined up it works great. The feedback you get on every stroke is unbelievable. By the time the ball hits the ground the MLM is already telling me how far it went, side carry and club head speed. You have a choice of 10 different data points. While on the range it only reads off 3 of your choosing. One note, it can burn up a lot of data (ask me how I know!!), the simple solution is go into profile/upload options and select only use wifi. Once I figured that out no problems. I have to say I don't know why everybody that wants to improve their game doesn't get one of these. Go for it. 7/4/23 TIP Still loving it. I have been going to the range every day and it is a great help. Some of the one star reviewers complained about lining the MLM up. When you set it up there is a camera view on your phone that shows ball area, alignment, player area. On my Iphone, this didn't work out well. The ball needed to be closer to the player than what was indicated. Now, I set up the mlm and iphone in line with where the ball is and this seems to work well.

I got this for a gift for my husband and he LOVES it! One of the best golf related purchases I've made for him. He using it weekly when practicing at home. It's small and light weight, easy to set up and easy to use, and very accurate. It has definitely helped my husband improve his golf game. My husband actually has fun using this when he practices. It allows him to see what he's doing, therefore, helps him makes adjustments to his swing to improve his game. I definitely think this is worth purchasing. And I absolutely know my husband would agree.

does a great job with accuracy and reading the correct values. only gripe is the phone did overheat from usage but it was also 90 outside. very compact and easy to set up(takes about 3 minutes). offers a feature to be able to go back and watch all hits so you can really watch yourself to make corrections. for the money it is a solid monitor for the weekend warrior golfer whose just trying to get a little better

I had been in the research loop of launch monitors after I fell into the "you need to perfect your swing" trap, and had been looking at this one along with some of the others out there. I was ultimately stuck between this one and the Garmin launch monitor. I have a lot of Garmin equipment and that one would sync with my watch, the golf app, and had simulations so you could play virtual courses. I ended up getting this one because of the size and the ball tracking/video reviews and am really happy that I did. Ease of use: Once you set up an account on your mobile device of choice, it's as easy as turning it on, opening the app, putting your device in the folding holder and pointing the video feed where you're hitting from. Now all you have to do is swing away. There are some other steps about picking if you're outdoors or in a net and opening the practice part or combine if you pay for the pro version. As far as devices go, it's probably the easiest I've ever used and gives a ton of data. Data tracked: It tracks spin, direction, trends, club speed, ball speed, smash factor, and a load more of data. I need to preface that the sheer amount of data that it tracks and shows trends on was a huge deciding factor for me, a data nerd. There are some users that say the numbers are a little off but I have hit on a range with very specific distances marked and the distance seems pretty spot on. After using it for a few months, I've changed my approach (pun not intended), because the trend had been that all golfers need to adjust their swing to fit a box and I found myself not enjoying the game because every single move I made had way too much thought. Short version; it tracks a ton of data about your shot, at the range, on the course, or hitting into a net. If the goal is to get better, it captures more than enough data. At the end of the day, the goal is to hit the ball where you want to hit it. You get instant feedback and can make the adjustments needed in real time to really help shape your shot. That alone is worth much more than the cost. All that positivity aside, now it's time for some negatives: 1. You need to have it well placed. 6-8ft behind where you're hitting, pointed slightly down so you can see the whole hitting surface, and see where your shot apex will be. It sounds like it's pretty open with the wider angle of your device's camera but it has to be a bit more accurately placed than it seems. 2. Even with that, sometimes it misses shots. I haven't been able to find an exact reason but it just misses sometimes. It takes a habit of being able to dismiss the shot you just did in your head when it misses so you don't adjust without data. 3. It sits outside and if it's sunny, with the way you have it all placed, my device will overheat fairly often. I'm sure you could put something over it for shade and that would reduce the overheating, but haven't tried that yet. Extra positives that I didn't realize I would use but love: When at the range, you can just hold your club toward the camera, showing what it is, and it will automatically change it in the app. Shot tracking with video that you can look at later and see what you're doing for those awesome shots and where you're messing up when you top them. The biggest thing for me is, I have data backing the true distance of my shots, along with accuracy. You know those times when you say "I love my 7 iron. It's my most accurate club I have"... Now there's data to back it. The more you use it, the more data you have. I know that I have a lateral range of 100-170 yards with that club and the horizontal range is 15 yards. My other club has that 150-180yd range but horizontally, it's +/- 50yds. That's critical data and helps tremendously on the course. If you are looking for a device that will have you looking like Rory on the course with a textbook perfect swing, this isn't it. It's not going to help your form or make your hips pivot from your 3:1 swing ratio. What it will do is help you understand what works and what doesn't work with the swing you have and help you really know what your shots look like instead of the dreams of our perfect shots we keep in our head from that one time six years ago when we hit a 7 iron 200 yards and landed it with perfect backswing, 2 inches from the pin. Best yet, it's small enough that you can have all that in a tiny bag that is easier to forget you brought with you that it is to forget to bring it.

So I really thought this was a great product and excited to give to my husband as a gift. Within 3 months it’s a piece of crap! It doesn’t register your swing all the time. Works for 10 shots then nothing. Contacted support and they said maybe you’re too close so adjusted and still the same. They don’t offer any type of help. It’s a lot of money just to throw away so don’t waste your money! Choose another brand!

自分の持ち玉や各クラブの飛距離を確認出来るだけでなく、ナイスショット時のフォームも分かるため、スイング改善にとても有益なグッズです。

Cet appareil léger et simple d’utilisation marie la puissance d’un iPhone ou iPad avec un radar intégré. Ceci permet d’avoir un système performant à prix très raisonnable. Je l’utilise avec un practice dans le jardin (filet de 4x3m) et me donne entière satisfaction. Il détecte automatiquement les coups et permet de revisionner son swing, de faire des statistiques pour chaque club, … Quant à la précision, je me réfère aux essais comparatifs consultable sur la toile.

Great product so far! Been looking for a launch monitor for a while and kept comparing them online, in the end went for this one as it seemed to have the most features, recording your swing and shot tracing being the main one for me. It also helps you work out your normal distances and shot pattern which will help a lot when playing on the golf course. The MLM picks up most swings and is relatively easy to set up. It has definitely made going to the range more engaging and feels like an improvement to regular practice. Haven’t tried it in net mode yet but they release new updates regularly so I’m sure it will be fine for that.

Muy recomendable
