MLM2Pro - Affordable, Insightful, Fun Golf for Home & Away
The golf launch monitor/simulator market has always been intriguing, but quality devices have historically been priced out of the reach of the everyday golfer. Rapsodo introduced their new MLM2Pro packed with functionality and accuracy rivaling devices costing 5x-10x more.
When the Rapsodo device arrives, it comes in a custom box, a ridgely constructed case and everything you need to get started. Initially out of the box, device charging with the supplied USB-C cable is quick and setup is easy using the Rapsodo app from the Apple or Google store (device is iOS & Android compatible).
Upon startup, you can customize your golf bag with each of your club by type/manufacturer/loft/etc. Then it is time to see what comes inside … practice functionality allows you to focus on each club for distances but also with the device’s multiple cameras, you can see your shot from swing to club face impact with the ball. Combines is a capability that allows you to compete with a number of clubs to dial in your distances and accuracy. Finally, Simulation will give you built in access to simulated courses (10s of thousands), 3D ranges and third party apps like E6 and Awesome Golf.
Readying to play, you have the option of customizing where you are playing (range or net), type of ball used (range, premium or Rapsodo RPT - sleeve of 3 comes with your purchase) and elevation. I have included a couple of pictures of my setup —- the Mlm2pro with its tripod stand. My backyard, I have built a bet structure with provides me about 10 feet from ball to net and about 6-8 ft from device to ball (behind). It should be noted that I played around with the distances for optimal device/ball flight recognition. Rapsodo also gives you a great view of the ball position and proper alignment through the Rapsodo application.
Courses on the Rapsodo simulator as well as those available through the 3rd party apps are realistic and loads of fun to play.
Finally, after a short amount of time, I can clearly see an improvement in my game. My ball striking is so much better with a more consistent club distance, shot dispersion and club head/ball speed. After playing golf for more than 30 years, I now feel that I have something to help my game improve and still allow me to have fun golfing year round.
