    which budget launch monitor do you recommend for using at an outdoor range?

    I have an MLM and it appears from the video that you may not have lined the MLM up precisely to the spot from which you are hitting, which may affect launch angle and distance numbers. If I am missing something, my apologies. Either way thanks for sharing.

    I just got my MLM two days ago . I’ve been hitting into a net and numbers seem low but I’m still learning how to use it . I took it out on the course to test numbers off the tee and the rapsodo was showing 20 yards less in total difference. Again still learning so I’m not disappointed at this point . My phone did get too hot once which is concerning.

    Do you need the upgraded subscription to get the club speed reading for speed training?

    Wait till you swing over 115mph the rapsodo has no idea .. it over estimates by a country mile, it’s a waste of money .. battery is crap and over heats the pro is better but they just don’t even come close to gc3 and higher level LMs

    What does the subscription do besides give Rapsodo monthly income? I buy a monitor and it works. What am I continuing to pay them for? I will be using GSPro, none of their included software. Is every company a scam today? Should be illegal.

    It wasn't expressly mentioned, but I'm assuming the MLM measures backspin only, correct? So it won't calculate spin axis right?

    If so, then dispersion stats from indoor sessions would reflect only launch direction and any draw/hook or fade/slice shape cannot be captured.

    Fellas will the Calaway RPT's measure well with the first MLM. Or does a regular ball with the Raspsodo Ball Dot's work as well.

    No spin axis? That's the most important measure for me

    I bought the MLM and returned it. The delta I seen was about 50 yards from what I actually hit. This was compared to a Trackman at the same time.
    I used different devices and lighting to see if it made a difference and it was the same regardless. I double checked the “recommended” placement of the MLM and used a measuring tape for the idea location. It wouldn’t register clean hits that the Trackman did.

    If the MLM was within the advertised 97% accurate compared to higher end devices I would have kept it. But being off by 33% compared to the Trackman on my best hit clubs is insane.

    I love everything Rapsodo is trying to achieve for golfers but I don’t think the technology is there just yet for the price they’re aiming for.
