Rapsodo MLM2PRO Mobile Launch Monitor Golf Simulator | 3 Chrome Tour Balls

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!

One year later: The device is still fantastic and the company continues to send improvement updates in the form of firmware, game activities and other things. That is very encouraging and I trust that it will continue. I have fluctuated over the years from mid to high '90s to even a few rounds down in the high 70s. Now that I can work on my game with data, I am consistently in the '80s and will likely find my way into the '70s. The device is not perfect, but it is very, very good and the size, accuracy, and convenience makes this a game changer. I highly recommend the MLM 2 pro. This thing is SOOO AWESOME!!!. I broke the 10,000 shot mark in the first 6 months and I love it. My game is seriously improving with all of the high quality data. You have to purchase the membership or the device won't be nearly as awesome. With that in mind, just go straight for the lifetime membership. My total cost for device and membership was $699 + $499 = $1198. However, the subscription cost has gone up to $599 since Oct 2025. I am going through a lot of balls. I bought a clamshell style template to mark my own balls and that takes time and effort, but good Kirkland balls at $1.45 a piece compared to the custom RPT balls Rapsodo sells is worth the effort for me. If you mark your own, don't use a Sharpie, it smears off pretty quickly on your clubs and your video screen. Buy the "All-Weather Plastic Eartag Marker" and you'll have MUCH better lasting dots. I start with an ultra fine tip Sharpie and the stencil to create an outline on a dozen balls. Then, without the stencil, I color in the circles. They don't have to be perfect for the device to work accurately. Pretty good is good enough, I've found. I highly recommend this device both for use with a net at home and on the driving range.

Very impressed with the unit and how it (could) function. I’ve had it almost a year and I wanted to wait and give a very honest review! I think I’ve used it MAYBE 10 times without hiccups or connection issues and I try and use it 3-4 days a week in my home sim. They have no problem blacking you out of using features on your paid subscription based service without warning, no explanation. Easy to use if it works, connection issues are absolutely horrific most days. I have a direct hardline to a wireless access point 6ft away from the unit and still has insane trouble connecting, staying connected or crashing. I love the value, but it’s honestly not worth the headache. I wish I had spent the money up front on a better one….after you buy the unit you pay a subscription fee, then $70 for 12 balls that don’t last more than 70 swings each before the pattern is too damaged to recognize ball spin, or they’ll break, or booger up your impact screen. Graphics assessment says I have the highest option it recommends, then goes into a simulated course and there absolutely zero trees landscape or anything that makes it a golf course, just flat no dimension or anything. When customer service gets back to you after 7-14 working days, they just say: delete and Redownload the app, download firmware, update your app, or maybe your internet isn’t good….. good god, It’s so bad so unhelpful! It’s a very cool idea, seams like they rushed it, and I promise you, they don’t care about your input. I wish they were better about informing paying customers about their downtimes, and explaining why their servers crash all the time. Everytime they add a new feature the app just gets worse. Don’t take my word for it, go to Reddit, join the Facebook page, both are full of complaints and one guy who works for them just says “email our support team” HINT: it doesn’t help. With a that being said, I fricken love this thing when it works. Great graphics for the price, once you have it set up correctly, the data points actually are within 2-3% of trackman numbers and only for 3.5% of the price of it. Great cameras, great picture and FPS. >10yd Chipping is hot garbage and hasn’t changed, won’t read short lob or bumps that don’t fly 6-8 ft forward. Perry bad processing speed Frustrated is an understatement, excited to use it after a day of working. To find out I have to spend time Messing with it and figuring out why it works great with no issues and then all of the sudden, back to square 1. Wish they gad better communication. Chinese owned company, if it didn’t work they would still sell it. And act like you’re the problem. Save yourself the trouble and just go to the range.

Worked well at outdoor range. Readings were accurate for carry and total distances. Double checked against laser to make sure. Easy to setup. Love the video and impact camera images. Shot tracer is cool too. Great product.

I bought one of these, had really bad connection issues. Contacted the vendor and waited for a while for a resolution. After coming close to my 40 day return window I decided to exchange. The vendor contacted me and informed me they found the issue but the fix wouldn't be available for a couple weeks. I bought a new one, did the firmware upgrades and the new one is working well. I think it was a known issue but it took far too long to resolve for me. Upon receiving the new one, my experience has been great. Very accurate readings, great battery life, replays of my swing, best bang for your buck for an at home simulator. I'm very pleased with the purchase now, just a few bumps at the beginning that got ironed out.

I’ve had my MLM2 Pro for almost a year. I think it’s help me gain a lot of insight into how I play golf. I’ve shaved probably 10-15 strokes from my game, depending on the day. Do t get me wrong, I’m still a hacker. lol. I use this to analyze how I’m hitting the ball and work on my consistency. I do t out much thought into how super accurate it is or ball spin like some. This is a beginners, budget launch monitor and it’s fantastic for my needs. I also host my foursome every Friday in the winter to play either Rapsodo courses or awesome golf. It’s a nice way to keep swinging a club in the off season and hang with my friends. Things I do t like, sometimes it’s a little hinky to connect and sometimes it disconnects in the middle of a round. Usually we wait a minute and it reconnects. Any issues I have had are addressed by support when I submit and issue. They have updated this app and firmware many time mes since I have owned it, each time making the experience better. One thing that has improved, but not been solved is sometimes it doesn’t read chips well and the greens are like an ice rink, you can easily hit through the greens on what would have been a good chip in say Awesome Golf. Overall, I would highly recommend this for a budget golf sim build.

Honest review. My kid and I LOVE this device. It is VERY accurate. Also, Its great Father Son time, my Son ALWAYS asks to play which I appreciate. BUT this unit is CONSTANTLY dropping connection, weather it is the direct wifi or over the LAN. I am at a loss.... I got Amazon to approve a late return and get a full refund BUT!!! But Im giving RAPSODO a chance to redeem themselves.. Support is non existent. And this shouldnt be an issue. My MLM2PRO is LITERALLY 5 feet from my mesh wifi unit (Netgear ORBI) and my phone is the same distance away from the WIFI and the MLM2PRO. HOPEFULLY WITH AN UPDATE we can FINALLY USE THIS THING WITHOUT A DROPPED CONNECTION. I sure hope so. I gave up a full refund in hopes the company makes a fix for its HORRIBLE NETWORK/CONNECTION issues. Its 2024 this shouldnt be an issue.

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.

Update on my previous review: When I bought the MLM2PRO it DOA (dead on arrival). It wouldn't detect any shots made. The initial startup of the service process didn't go fast. That improved after a few days. Now I can say i'm very happy with the support I received. The unit was replaced by Rapsodo and even included a small gift. The MLM2PRO unit is absolutely fantastic. Easy to set up and very accurate when I compare it to the launchmonitor my Pro has for lessons. The MLM2pro has unique measuring features in this price category, where club path is the most unique and useful. The app works well but could use some small new features like more choice on the export of data and an automatic detection of rotation on the app. but all things considered really happy with the unit.

J'ai pris la souscription à vie en complément pour avoir accès à toutes les fonctionnalités. Au total cela fait 1300 € pour un simulateur hyper réaliste et précis.

Es perfecto , mide todo como un equipo profesional, y la simulación en campos está muy bien .

Be patient with getting wifi connected it takes a specific sequence for me. Otherwise works great almost never misses a shot if the ball is placed in the right veiwing box.

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
