Rapsodo MLM2PRO Launch Monitor Review
If you’ve ever thought about putting together a home driving range setup or just need an easy-to-use mobile launch monitor to use in your practice sessions outdoors, the good news is that the best portable launch monitors keep on improving, and now many of them are pretty affordable. That’s certainly the case with the new Rapsodo MLM2PRO launch monitor, which is a snap to set up and use, measures most everything you need, shows both 3-D and 2-D views, and comes in at just $699 retail.
The Rapsodo MLM2PRO can be placed snugly inside a protective case, which will easily fit inside a golf bag. The package also includes a cleverly designed tripod, a user manual, and a sleeve of specially-marked Callaway RPT Chrome X golf balls. The golf balls are meant mostly for indoor use in a net. You could fire them into a driving range, as well, but that would be an expensive proposition. The bottom line, however, is the only way to get spin metrics is to use these balls, which is why I would recommend getting some sort of golf net setup at a minimum with the MLM2PRO, just to get the spin rates and axis rotation numbers.
It also comes with a USB-C charging cord. It takes four hours to charge the built-in lithium ion battery, which will provide anywhere between two and four hours of use.

The purchase of a Rapsodo MLM2PRO also includes a year of its Premium Membership, which provides access to 30,000 simulator courses and other special features like “Virtual Driving Range,” and its unique “Impact Vision” camera, which is a major upgrade over the original Rapsodo Mobile launch monitor. (The MLM2PRO also works with android mobile devices, too, now instead of just IOS devices.) After the first year, Premium Membership is $199 annually.
Impact Vision is an extremely useful tool for anyone looking to analyze their own ball striking and make adjustments. In fact, that’s one of two cameras on the sleek MLM2PRO, which is super easy to set up with its unique tripod that snaps into the place. The other wide angle “Shot-Vision” camera will video your swing from behind and show the track of your shot, similar to what you see on TV during a tour event. And you can even add a third camera from your mobile device or tablet, giving you three different views. But let’s get back to the Impact Vision camera for a moment.
