Rapsodo Golf

Rapsodo announced the launch of its latest golf product, the Mobile Launch Monitor 2 Pro (MLM2PRO™), on 25 January. The device was unveiled at the 2023 PGA Show in Orlando and will be available on April 1st, 2023 for 799.99€.

The MLM2PRO™ is a successor to the original Rapsodo Mobile Launch Monitor (MLM), designed with radar technology and machine learning to help golfers analyse their swing and measure metrics such as distance, ball speed and shot dispersion. The new MLM2PRO™ also offers measured spin metrics and full golf simulation capabilities. It uses two new dual cameras and is compatible with both iOS and Android devices. The MLM2PRO™ is the official personal launch monitor of Golf Digest’s Hot List and offers improved features over the original model.

8. Partnership with Callaway

The new 2023 Portable Golf Launch Monitor provides golfers with even more comprehensive data to analyse their game. The MLM2PRO™ displays a total of six readings within 13 core metrics, including brand new data points such as launch angle, spin rate and spin axis. A special addition to the latest golf monitor is the ability to measure both spin rate and spin axis, made possible through a partnership with Callaway Golf. The MLM2PRO™’s Impact Vision camera captures and processes images of ball rotation to provide these important measurements to better determine overall carry distance and trajectory. With the purchase of the MLM2PRO you will also receive three Callaway® RPT™ golf balls for free.

9. Another launch monitor/simulator under $1,000

The Rapsodo MLM2PRO and Swing Caddie SC4 have revolutionised the golf industry by challenging the sub-$1,000 Garmin Approach R10 in terms of golf tee monitors with simulations. Previously, the Garmin R10 was the only tee-off monitor in this price range that offered simulation. At the 2023 PGA Show, Rapsodo and Voice Caddie presented two tee monitors in the same category.
