Simulateurs de golf et analyseurs de launch Rapsodo

Absolutely. Rapsodo’s internal comparison testing shows the MLM2PRO’s ball-flight algorithm tracking very closely with premium units like GC3 and those from TrackMan, with carry distance differences typically only a few yards, with a low percentage error. For gapping sessions, distance control work, and home simulator play, this level of accuracy is more than enough for meaningful improvement.

The original Rapsodo MLM provides essential ball-flight metrics (carry distance, total distance, launch angle, launch direction, side carry, ball speed, club speed, smash factor) and shot-tracer video using your phone’s camera. It’s extremely portable and ideal for basic range or net work.

The MLM2PRO adds dual cameras, a wider suite of 15 ball and club metrics, accurate spin and spin-axis readings when used with RPT balls, multi-angle video capture, full indoor/outdoor simulator capability, and advanced practice modes through Premium membership.

Pick the MLM if you want simple video and core numbers. Choose the MLM2PRO if you want spin, club delivery metrics, simulator play, and deeper performance insights.

Rapsodo recommends approximately 14–15 feet of total depth:

• About 8 feet from the ball to the net or impact screen
• 6.5 to 8.5 feet from the ball back to the MLM2PRO

Ceiling height of 9–10 feet is ideal for most players, with taller or more upright swingers benefiting from 10+ feet. Meeting the spacing and alignment requirements is essential for accurate data and proper video capture.

Both units work without a subscription, but Rapsodo Premium unlocks what the brand is known for:

• Performance Combine benchmarking
• Random Target Range, Target Range, and Closest to the Pin challenges
• Access to the full simulator library on MLM2PRO
• MyBag, shot history, cloud storage and Rapsodo Insights
• Expanded club-delivery metrics on MLM2PRO when used indoors

If you just want basic yardages, you can skip Premium. If you want structured practice, analytics, or simulator play, Premium is highly recommended.

The original Rapsodo MLM is compatible only with supported iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads that meet Rapsodo’s minimum specifications.

The Rapsodo MLM2PRO supports both iOS and Android, provided the device meets the requirements (iOS 14+ for Apple devices; Android 10+ for compatible phones and tablets). Device support can change with app updates, so checking compatibility before purchase is advised.

You only need RPT balls if you want accurate spin rate and spin-axis readings indoors. These balls have specialised markings that allow the MLM2PRO’s cameras to track rotation precisely. For distance, launch, ball speed, club speed and dispersion work, standard golf balls work perfectly well. If detailed spin analysis is part of your training routine, RPT balls are essential - otherwise they are optional!

Yes. Rapsodo’s Virtual Range, MyBag, and historical data tools are designed specifically for mapping distances, dispersion patterns and equipment gaps. Combined with the brand’s impressively tight distance accuracy, Rapsodo is well-suited for practical gapping and equipment decisions for most golfers. While elite-level fitting studios still use high-end systems, Rapsodo provides more than enough precision for home users who want to understand their bag.

Extremely well, provided the setup distances are followed.

• MLM Net Mode: device placed roughly 6 feet behind the ball
• MLM2PRO: 6.5–8.5 feet behind the ball, and 8 feet of ball flight into a net or screen

Indoors, full-swing and partial-swing shots are very reliable. Very short chips and putts are less consistent because the system is optimised for standard golf-shot ball flights. For normal practice and simulator play, Rapsodo works extremely well in an enclosure or net.

Rapsodo designs its training modes around modern coaching principles. The Combine is a structured skills test that scores your performance, highlights strengths and weaknesses, and lets you track progress across multiple sessions. Random Target Range provides a new target or distance on every shot - encouraging adaptability, distance control, and decision-making. Modes like Closest to the Pin and challenge games keep practice competitive, fun and purposeful, turning the launch monitor into a real training tool rather than just a radar box.

We reckon that Rapsodo gear is ideal for golfers who want high-quality ball data and video feedback without the price tag of a studio launch monitor. It’s a perfect choice for:

• Players practising into nets or enclosures
• Golfers building a home simulator
• Those who prefer structured sessions over mindless ball-hitting
• Golfers who want meaningful feedback without spending BIG

If your space is extremely tight or you prefer a side-mounted camera system, another style of launch monitor may be better. But for most golfers seeking portability, accuracy and value, Rapsodo represents one of the strongest options on the market.

With a Premium membership, the Rapsodo MLM2PRO gives you access to over 30,000 golf courses worldwide through its simulator integrations. This includes large course libraries via partner platforms that work directly with the device. You can play full simulated rounds, practice on virtual ranges, and run challenge modes across a huge selection of layouts - all using the MLM2PRO’s radar and dual-camera tracking.
