And finally, the third mode is "Simulation," which might be the real golden nugget here. If you just took the MLM2 and combined it with a net and an iPad, you could play thousands of courses, even your home course with the provided courses that come with membership. The details aren't mind-blowing, but each hole is accurate in terms of terrain and distances. Plus, it's likely your home course is on the list. I did that when I tried Memorial Park in Houston, and while it didn't exactly make me think I was there, I could definitely practice all the holes to prepare for playing the course. There is no specific minimum room width recommended by Rapsodo for use with the MLM2Pro. I recommend a minimum room width of 10ft, where 15ft+ will allow you to play with a centered aim point.

The Rapsodo MLM2Pro Personal Launch Monitor is designed to work seamlessly with various devices to ensure you get the most out of your golf practice sessions. This versatile launch monitor is compatible with both iOS and Android operating systems, catering to a wide range of smartphones and tablets. Accuracy: view dispersion patterns and landing area tendencies for each club. You can compare your accuracy to similar players and to Tour pros, which will help you identify areas of improvement. How does the Rapsodo MLM2PRO perform? How does it compare to other launch monitors like the Garmin Approach R10? Is it worth getting if you’re looking for a quality golf launch monitor? Within the app, create a new Rapsodo account (or log in to an existing one) and register your device via Bluetooth and WiFi.

New Rapsodo MLM2PRO vs Rapsodo MLM

Golfers choosing the Rapsodo MLM2Pro should aim for a room height of 10ft or more, though the minimum room height is not dictated by Rapsodo. As with all golf simulator rooms, the minimum usable room height depends closely on your height, the plane of your golf swing and your natural tolerance against indoor swing syndrome. A true minimum of 9ft usually applies but this may be uncomfortable for many. That’s not to say the MLM2PRO is without faults. One of the major ones that stands out to me is the fact that there is no direct-to-screen output and a mobile device is required to use the launch monitor. Some people are just not into mobile devices and want to bypass all that. These are the golf ball launch data metrics that are featured by the Garmin Approach R10 Launch Monitor, split into those that are directly measured and those which are calculated by the onboard algorithm. Accuracy/Error Margins are listed where they are published by Garmin.

The MLM2PRO™ is the successor to Rapsodo’s original Mobile Launch Monitor, which was designed using radar technology and machine learning to bring pro-level data to golfers so they can analyze their swing by monitoring metrics like distance, ball speed, smash factor with data visualization, club gapping, shot dispersion, and more. With the original model winning My Golf Spy’s Best Mobile Launch Monitor three years in a row, and being a trusted brand in Golf Digest’s Hot List Testing, the new MLM2PRO™ is now the official personal launch monitor of Golf Digest’s Hot List. It will provide the same industry leading data with additional metrics to further enhance the user’s experience - such as measuring spin and full golf simulation features. The MLM2PRO™ uses dual cameras and is compatible with both iOS and Android devices.

The LED indicator on the device will be a solid green when it’s detecting a ball and is ready to take a shot. Once you hit your shot, the LED will turn blue indicating that the shot is being processed. For indoor net or simulator sessions, you’ll need a solid hitting mat and net. Take out your longest club (driver) and ensure that you have enough clearance to make a full swing.

The first “M” in “MLM” stands for mobile for a reason. The MLM2PRO’s innovative sleek and compact design means you can take it anywhere. You should ensure the unit is placed at the same vertical level as the hitting surface. This may mean raising it on a platform so the feet of the launch monitor are level with the ball as it rests on top of your mat. 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. Indoor and Outdoor Use: The Rapsodo MLM2PRO is versatile, as it can be used both indoors and outdoors to suit your practice preferences. Physical Appearance: Some users may find the 13-inch height of the device when set up on its tripod to be less discreet than other golf launch monitors.

A golfer’s smash factor is a measure of how effectively their club speed is transferred into ball speed. Smash factor is calculated by dividing the ball speed by club speed. Smash factor is determined by your swing, the clubface and the ball. Connecting your Rapsodo MLM2Pro to your device requires a stable Wi-Fi connection. The device uses Wi-Fi to transmit data and video recordings to your smartphone or tablet, allowing you to analyze your shots more effectively. The Wi-Fi connection also enables you to use the Rapsodo MLM2Pro indoors and outdoors, making it a versatile practice tool regardless of your location or the weather conditions.In particular, the MLM2PRO introduces Android compatibility and support for indoor golf simulation, giving it complete visibility into the games of golfers all around the world.

The MLM2PRo is more dependanton the amount of space the ball has to travel between the tee position and the impact screen, as this is the area that data capture occurs, rather than the height of the room. You just need to be able to swing freely. The unit needs a minimum of ~30 yards of ball flight in range mode and ~8 feet of ball flight in net mode. It should be as level with the hitting surface as possible. Accuracy: Although it may not be as precise as some high-end devices, the MLM2Pro provides reliable and practical data that helps golfers understand their performance and improve their skills. The most important space requirement is room length, which is split into 6.5-8ft between the MLM2Pro and the ball, and a requirement of 8ft or more of ball flight.Rapsodo says that when using Callaway RCT golf balls, you can get spin readings that are within 1% of the readings of professional-grade launch monitors. In my experience, this is mostly true, although I would bump that up to within 2% or so. Spin accuracy seems to get worse the longer the club is.
