Linking with the above point, there are models with more features compared to others. Of course for most of the models we tested, measuring the golf ball's flight was the main purpose but some units offered the opportunity for simulator play, GPS functionality, or the ability to record your swing. Some also have games too. The data provided by golf launch monitors has changed the practice landscape, undoubtedly making them one of the best golf training aids available. No longer are golfers content with feeling like their swing is improving, they need to know their swing is improving, and thanks to the accessibility of key technologies, this is now a reality for golfers of all abilities. The data is simple to digest and you can delete certain shots during your hitting session if you wish. The accuracy also blew us away and we enjoyed the convenient lightweight portability of the simulator as well.

Speaking of which portability is an important factor in itself. You don't want to have to be lugging something heavy around or something that takes too long to fold away. We cannot stress enough how convenient this monitor and for such a small - and well priced - launch monitor, the PRGR gathers a decent amount of data. The device gives you data on swing speed, ball speed, carry distance, total distance and smash factor. For us, this was just the right amount - not too much to overwhelm and not so little it's pointless. Sure there are more comprehensive devices out there, but not at this price point. How? Easy. Just hit half a dozen shots with each club and disregard any poor ones. You’ll know which ones you flushed so that’s your gapping yardage sorted. The Rapsodo MLM2Pro is a golf launch monitor and simulator with a dual camera, Swing Vision, virtual driving ranges, and compatibility with E6 Connect and other golf simulation platforms. It also offers slow-motion replay, club-fitting charts, virtual competitions, and games with increased compatibility with Android phones. The MLM2Pro is a personal golf launch monitor and simulator with a dual camera feature that allows for video recording of golf swings. It has a “Swing Vision” feature that pairs with a phone or tablet to capture multiple angles of each swing. It also offers access to virtual driving ranges and thousands of virtual golf courses. The device is compatible with E6 Connect and other golf simulation platforms, providing features such as four-speed slow-motion replay, club-fitting performance charts, virtual competitions, and games. Additionally, it has more compatibility with Android phones.In a similar fashion to the GC Quad, Bushnell's Launch Pro hangs its hat on accuracy and has endeavored to achieve this by using a high-speed, high-resolution three-camera system, that unlike radar technology set up behind the golf ball and relies on algorithms to calculate what happened at impact. 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. We have to mention price when discussing launch monitors. There will be some who can afford the top-of-the-range designs but many more won't. However as we have shown above there are still some very good more affordable models too. I have hit around 1000 swings into a net with it, and it just keeps getting better. I have already discovered several swing flaws thanks to the camera options and shot data. I have had great performance with both my cellular iPhone and cellular iPad Pro. I’ve had a few disconnects in the past, but the recent updates have helped.

Overhead GPS view is a nice touch. The MLM app on your iPhone will determine your satellite location and provide you with an overhead view. You just need to pinpoint where you are (for instance which end of the driving range bays, unless you are out on the course) and then you select which direction you are hitting the ball. What this means is that when your session is finished you have an overhead view of the range and a breakdown of where all of your shots finished up. Nearly every touring professional uses a launch monitor to hone their swings and many amateurs are also making the most of the technology now to improve their games too. Launch monitors these days are also very convenient because they can often be folded up nicely, or they are handheld devices so are highly portable.

We test all golf technology as comprehensively as possibleto gauge performance over time and whether it can actually help your golf game. As you would expect, this involves using different models regularly, and in different situations to see how the technology performs. A good example is using a monitor inside/outside, or in different types of weather.Of course many of the launch monitors also get used a lot because we do so much club testing as well. We think a portable launch monitor is worth it because of the benefits available like a great understanding of your golf game, more efficient practice, convenience, and importantly, there are really good models out there that do not have to cost thousands of dollars. What launch monitors do pros use? The device delivers the crucial spin axis numbers that nothing else in the price range can come close to. The numbers that it gives me are invaluable when hitting into a net, and really makes practicing feel worthwhile.

He also oversees all Tour player content as well so if you need to know what clubs Tiger or Rory has in play, Sam is the person to ask. You can store up to 100 shots in the free version, but by upgrading to premium it allows you to build a library of thousands of shots. Personally I don’t see any reason why you would need more than the hundred, but each to their own.

A: Through Rapsodo’s partnership with Callaway, Rapsodo specially engineered balls using Rapsodo Precision Technology (RPT). The custom designed Callaway RPT Chrome Soft X Golf Balls deliver the ultimate golf experience by providing spin measurements within 1% of the accuracy of high-priced launch monitors. A: The MLM2PRO requires a different app, as a result the MLM data is not compatible with the new app.

So you can go right through your golf bag and hit several shots with each club, and by the end of the session your gapping will be complete and you'll know exactly how far - and how straight - you hit each club. Built on the same advanced photometric technology found in the company’s flagship launch monitor, the GCQuad, the new GC3 features a three-camera system that measures ball and club performance data, both outdoors and indoors, with precision and accuracy.One of the things that makes the GC3 so accurate is its Barometric Sensor, which takes into account temperature, humidity and altitude and gives you accurate data based on these real time factors.
