Rapsodo MLM2PRO Cellular Launch Monitor + Golf Simulator

Quirky but AMAZING VALUE for the purchase price… (+ TopTracer comparison)
So let’s start this off by saying that I have done a bunch with this thing:1) I took it to a TopTracer equipped driving range and compared distances in excellent outdoor conditions. Granted it was with some pretty mediocre yellow range balls, but the MLM2PRO picked them up without an issue.2) I compared the MLM2PRO to the original Rapsodo MLM (my friend has one) and was compared them both while hitting against a net. It fared very well, as you would expect it would.3) I played multiple simulated rounds with the included Awesome Golf and had a blast doing so. I have included some screenshots from an Awesome Gold range session, worked very well.4) I have become pretty addicted to the Combine in the MLM2PRO app, it’s very well conceived and executed.==========OVERALL==========-= One thing is for certain with me, this thing is a TREMENDOUS VALUE! =—- There have been some quirks with it and I’ve had to work through them with a little bit of trial and error. But as a whole, the entire setup process was painless. The connectivity to Awesome Golf via Bluetooth was rock solid. The software features are robust and extensive… Overall, I have had a blast with this thing!=================PROS – WHAT I LOVED==================-= It just feels like a QUALITY PIECE OF TECH =—- From the way that the unit is packaged in its carrying case to its ingenious design and how the MLM2 clicks into the three-legged stand that has little notches in it to hold an iPad/Tablet — it’s all just very well constructed and smartly built.-= The SOFTWARE has come a long way – The COMBINE is so well done =—- I was comparing it to the original MLM and you can just see how much the software suite has improved just over the last few years alone. The way the connections are established (both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity) as well as the manner in which it walks a new customer through the process — it is both clear and detailed.— Connectivity issues can occur on Local WiFi (see commentary below) but throughout that issue the software alerts you and tells you when connection has been re-established. There is also a workaround for maintaining solid connectivity via Direct Wi-Fi until the Shared WiFi issue is remedied, see more below.— The Combine is a BLAST! (see video — https://youtu.be/fwzEGynxEbQ) … The more and more I used it over time I could see how the Combine could really help you hone your game. If there are certain clubs or distances that you struggle with then you can focus on those and continue to put the work in to improve.==================================THE DETAILS – A FEW STRUGGLES==================================-= Limited Metric Count on iPhone =—- My primary gripe from the start was that on an iPhone it only shows 3 METRICS (I went with swing speed, carry distance and launch angle) and I really most definitely craving a few more. In my opinion this is totally fixable via a software update because when I dropped in an iPad on the MLM2PRO stand I got 6 METRICS and that was the perfect amount (see my video attached)-= Connection Issues when on Shared WiFi =—- So yes, the connection issues ARE real and I was afflicted by these as well. Admittedly it was when I attempted to connect to my Local/Shared Wi-Fi and then have the MLM2PRO connect. It was pretty much hit or miss when I first started using it and, well, I was pretty concerned.— Then I started reading some MLM2PRO forums and Reddit and people mentioned that it’s far more stable if you CONNECT DIRECTLY to your iPhone or iPad with the Direct Wi-Fi. This uses a “direct connection” between the two devices… WORKED LIKE A CHARM!— The downside to this though is that Awesome Golf and other apps which require a shared internet connectivity can then become a little tricky if your connected device doesn’t have a data plan. Since that device is now using the Wi-Fi connection to “talk to the MLM2PRO”.— So, in short, when I play Awesome Golf I use my phone (since it has unlimited data and a 5G connection) and then when I want to hone my stats/numbers I use the bigger iPad since it doesn’t need the Internet to do so and I get my 6 metrics to track. Then when my iPad is disconnected and back on the Wi-Fi it syncs my results like a champ.-= Amazing Customer Support =— HELP IS COMING, PEOPLE… With all of that said, I did have a pleasant exchange with Rapsodo support at the outset and they are obviously well aware of the Shared/Local Wi-Fi issue and tell me that a fix is coming… it truthfully was an excellent customer support experience for me to work with them and they were just generally so helpful and very appreciative of my business.– To be honest, I’m confident that the Shared Wi-Fi connectivity issues will be fixed, it just doesn’t feel like a hardware issue to me at all. I was a software developer by trade and given how rock-solid the direct connection experience has been this just FEELS like a totally fixable software issue that can be patched/fixed.– In the interim, I’m happy using the MLM2PRO via direct Wi-Fi and my iPad until that software fix is delivered.=========================GO PLAY SOME VIRTUAL GOLF!=========================So that’s how I feel about the MLM2PRO… was it perfect at launch? Nope… is it getting better by the day? ABSOLUTELY!This thing is an incredible piece of tech and is a seriously capable piece of hardware right out of the box. I’m having a blast with it and can wholeheartedly recommend it with the aforementioned tweaks. I’m also very confident that it will continue to get better and that the company will support it for years to come.WELL DONE, RAPSODO!

Top notch launch monitor for half the cost of comparable units
I recently picked up the new Rapsodo MLM2PRO Mobile Launch Monitor and couldn’t wait to get to it. I’m a former Assistant Golf Professional slowly rediscovering my game after years of minimal play and even less practice. Not only that, I am an Industrial Engineer and Math geek that loves numbers and data and the Rapsodo did not disappoint.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).My numbers on the Rapsodo seemed pretty accurate and in line with what I have seen at a couple of ranges that now have Trackman installed which makes me very happy that I can do this in the comfort of my backyard (and garage in the winter) without wondering if I am missing anything.On the range, I loved the tracer line in the video which, coupled with the metrics, allowed me to make quick changes to my setup and see immediate results in increased distance with my driver. Without this I wouldn’t have known what to do to find optimal launch angle which literally added 20 yards from early session drivers to end of session.At home, I tested using old practice balls alongside the Callaway RPT Chrome Soft X included with the Rapsodo. The monitor was more accurate at picking up the Callaway RPT so I’ll stick with using them.So excited after 3 sessions and I don’t think I have scratched the surface yet! There is still so much more for me access with the 1 year Free Premium Membership that came with the purchase – and I plan to get to all of them. For example, there is a Combine mode (developed with Dr Sasho Mackenzie – creator of The Stack System) that will assess my data, evaluate strengths and weaknesses to help customize a practice routine for me. And there are thousands of courses for me to play in simulation mode. Needless to say I wish I had this when I was teaching my clients.On the other side of the coin, there really is only one thing I am hoping will change in the near future and that is the ability to use speed training equipment with the Rapsodo. Speed training is huge now, the best way to pick up distance and probably not going away – ever. Although there are ways to use some of the speed equipment available and track driver stats with the Rapsodo, having an all inclusive device would be amazing. With Dr. Mackenzie as an Advisor I am keeping my fingers crossed that they can find a way to get there soon!Absolutely confident that the Rapsodo will help me to make fast and sustainable improvements to my game.

I have had this and your is every day since August 24. I absolutely love the rapsodo mlm2pro it has 30,000 course driving range, target range ,speed training, combines the impact view is amazing and shows where your club face hit the ball it’s super easy to use and setup you can take it anywhere you like and play it high recommend the Rapsodo mlm2pro launch monitor is a must have in the golf bag

I love it. The best toy EVER.
