In an age where stats and data is taking over the golf game, launch monitors have become a staple of many golfers practice sessions. However, when shopping for a launch monitor there is not much out there that gives you all the data you need but at a reasonable price. You end up looking at Trackman, Shotscope and GCQuad which are all well into the thousands.
This is where the Rapsodo Mobile launch monitor steps in, even at full price this launch monitor is at a great budget friendly price but with upwards of 40% off it is a steal right now. The Rapsodo MLM is only available for IOS users and you use it by plugging your phone into the dock on top of the device. This allows you to use your device for recording video while the device monitors your swing and gives you data, like carry, strike and club speeds.
This great budget launch monitor does everything you could need while you are practicing and give you the data you want to improve.
Our tech expert Joel Tadman had this to say after testing the Rapsodo MLM. " It’s compact size and lightweight design make it easily portable in the carry case. It fits easily inside any compartment of my golf bag and the case even has a handy clip to be able to attach to your golf bag.
The Rapsodo MLM is a really good option in the portable launch monitor category at this price point. Whilst more expensive units may remove some of the anomaly readings, the level and accuracy of data received was more than sufficient to improve the quality of our practice."
Although navigating through the app on a small screen is a little bit fiddly, the graphics are genuinely impressive and the data matched up very well with what we were accustomed to, with subtle differences in strike creating corresponding changes in launch and carry distance.
The shot library feature displays your completed session in a very easy-to-digest grid format, which includes an overhead dispersion graph. Whilst we would like to see spin numbers, overall the information on offer is more than enough to form valid opinions about your club and swing performance. And when you consider you are getting this information for just under $300 right now, I don't think this deal will be around for long.
