Been great to read through the fitting experiences and stories. These guys have done an excellent job recapping their experiences and the level of excitement in the chat has been off the charts. I know the wait is going to feel like forever, but who knows ... maybe at the end of the longest wait in golf they will have found their forever set? Personally I am very curious how the T200 guys get on with theirs. I liked, enjoyed, but didnt fall in love with the T200 I hit. In fact the T150 seemed for me a better looking and fit and while the numbers were slightly better, they were not that much better. Maybe it was more because I had gone from hitting the T100 series nearly the whole fit? Shaft choice is also one that has me fascinated. With so many options, so many profiles it will be thrilling to see how these end up working for all of them.

Congrats on your hole in one! Not sure about OEMs... Doesn't hurt to ask. Or course has trips, prizes and other things but you have to hit the button and be on a recorded round with 2 other witnesses.

Glad to have you in the Forum! Keep up the activity and engagement and your time will come. With roughly 40 tests per season and normally 4 plus testers per test (sometimes more) there are a lot of opportunities to be selected. Plus we usually pick 1-3 new testers per test making the opportunity for new members to get involved better now than ever before. Check out the want to be a tester thread as well! It will help give you the inside track on how to better your chances.

You caught a spelling mistake which has been rectified. However to give everyone the inside scoop... There is an old (locked) thread which may be worth looking into. I do warn you I believe it is 90 or so pages long.

Make Android version better. Apple UI is far improved over Android, to the point because I am a Android user I ditched Arccos.

Without a doubt this was one of the most requested items for member testing and we are so happy that Rapsodo agreed to come on board with this member test. It should be a lot of fun and a great test to follow along with! A lot of you already know me and my intro so I will go over with the short version here and stay mainly to my golf game. My name is Jamie and I am the Forum Director here for MyGolfSpy Forum. You will see me all over the forum posting way too much and doing my best to be the most active person here. I am originally from Canada, but moved to Switzerland just over 3 years ago. While it may seem impossible and many think that I am a bot I do have an actual day job as an Ice Technician making ice for curling events and halls all over the world. It is essentially my dream job and I truly love what I do. When I moved to Switzerland it took me a while to get back into golf. Changing countries, different languages and all made it quite difficult. However I have found a home at a course called Otelfingen Golf Park near Zurich Switzerland. I played a lot of golf this season despite my wife and I welcoming our second child (Audrey) in June. It was an up and down season, however a little later in the year I started to find a groove and play some proper golf. Now that the season is cold golf is still available, but I have enjoyed more practice with my son and using my at home setup more. This is where the Rapsodo MLM2Pro came in. My Initial Impressions were to be straight up stellar. I had the original MLM and gifted it to a colleague as while I enjoyed the unit, in the end I found it to be a nice to have device and not something which I found had a lot of longevity to its use. The ability to work with android was also a game changer for the MLM2PRO. Although I have an ipad and other apple devices, my daily devices are all android based. In terms of setup, the setup of the unit couldn’t be easier. With phone in hand everything is marked and within a matter of seconds you can have the whole unit aligned for your session on the range or at home into a net. The carry case is awesome too. I am not sure if anyone mentioned it prior, but I love the size and how it keeps everything organized has a little pocket to hold charging cable or other devices you may have. Only pitfall is maybe it would be nice to be a shade bigger so it could hold a couple of the RPT Golf Balls. The app is largely the same and I do have some suggestions for improvement, some of which have been addressed, others I am still waiting on which I will go over later. The unit itself is very sturdy and feels like a high quality build. The change in color and out of the box is everything I had been hoping for. With that I am awarding the Rapsodo MLM2PRO a 8/10 for First Impressions. Aesthetics So I covered a bit of this prior in my first impressions, but I want to touch on a few other things other than the build of the unit itself. I got so many looks and questions at the range with this device. I had dozens of people wanting to try it out and see how it worked. This included a pro coming up to me and asking if we could take to the Trackman and compare the data. Unfortunately I was packing up and didn’t have time so we are going to try and do that later. Bottom line this thing is an eye opener and with it grabbing so much attention there is definitely a lot of positives to say from that. The build again and looks as well as color scheme is exactly what I like. Not too flashy, but solid and the fact it is as small as it is and can fit in the bag is an extreme positive. Truly nothing to knock here 10/10! The Numbers - Let’s be honest here we could go on and on for days with the numbers. Several of our other testers have done an excellent job of highlighting the accuracy and finer points. So here are my highlights. On the Range Data points are really good. Whether comparing to top tracer or shooting yardages with my range finder I found what Rapsodo was showing to be extremely accurate and following the ball flight with great accuracy. Missed shots? Yes there were a few, but not enough to make note of. The additional updates to chip shots has made a big difference as well. This is both a good and bad thing for me. There are 13 data points available for your viewing. On the screen (phone or tablet) it will show you the 4 which you select. If you want the other pieces you need to stop and press and hold or highlight the shot to view the full data. It is all there, just takes a bit extra viewing. Into the Net Some found data to be a little less reliable here, but the key is the RPT balls. Use them and this thing is money. I have spend the majority of my time using the MLM2PRO into my net and love it. I will say I don’t 100% know about the driver data. I do trust it, however sometimes I felt it left me a little short. Or maybe that is more my ego. While I did struggle for a bit of time on shorter chips this was remedied with the most recent app update. Simulation Again I used this into the net and Csiders13 did a great job of highlighting the options available. However I loved the simulation feature and this was the complete game changer for me. Of the 3 options I have stuck mainly to the Rapsodo courses. I have played several rounds all on various courses, some I have played some I have not. Most importantly I used the MLM2PRO as a warmup for a tournament at a course that I had never played. The course design overall was great, however I noted the elevation changes didn’t come off as accurately and trees acted like walls and there was no chance to get through them. However I can honestly say that it helped me prepare for the round and without question saved me several strokes. Options within the simulation and for the price is just top notch. I will have more updates on this as the season progresses. Overall the numbers here are very reliable and at the price it gives any purchaser a lot for their money. The main thing again is use the RPT balls. It makes a world of a difference. Given all the above I believe a fair rating of 17 out of 20 is fair. On Course - Adapted I will admit I haven’t been able to use this on course as yet. Between rain, course density and availability has been too limited. However I will take this space to share my thoughts on the cameras and features. The ability to take one swing and have 3 different and usable camera views of the same swing was game changing. Being able to breakdown and analyze your swing from down the line, impact and face on using your phone or tablet is simply the best. Being able to see deflection on the club face via the shot vision is astounding and humbling. However it is the ability to go slowly frame by frame that is the difference marker. I can breakdown my swing, release, takeaway and strike frame by frame and see the changes that cause each action. As someone who has been working on swing changes this is another standout feature which all golfers can benefit from. The App While there is so many great features on the app, it may be the area where I am most picky. The basic features are there and carry over from the original with some obvious additions. There are a few things I would maybe tweak or change with the app, however Rapsodo has continued to push through regular updates that addressed any initial qualms I had. These include in their most recent update a bulk club add feature. The one time I had issues connecting it was remedied by a quick app update and off we went! So what I liked Cloud Storage! The ability to hold and go back view previous sessions for reference is a true standout. Session insights - When finishing a session if you have taken at least 5 shots with a single club it will provide you with a insights which gives you additional data comparing your game vs a pro or handicap of your choosing. It will help you know where to focus your next practice session with those clubs. Dual cameras I have already messaged, but should be said again. So good. Gapping sessions and overall data available to dive into. Simulation which again I have gone over. What I didn’t like as much Adding Clubs and switching club inventory. This is where I think the most can be done. While some updates have added being able to do bulk clubs. I haven’t found how to use the inventory as I wish to. Simulation club input. Now maybe I need to do some more digging, but when I have done simulation and just simply played. When I ended the round all the clubs were listed as driver. Not the end of the world, but I think I need to select each club each time which I understand. I did not have any other issues or hiccups throughout the testing period. Other questions I have seen asked are about battery life and for the phone. I use a Pixel 6 Pro and could use it for a full hour session or simulation on HD and only lose 35 to 40 percent of phone battery life. The unit itself I charged once every 3 sessions which seemed suitable. We also have a section called The Good, The Bad, The In between. I have covered a lot and rather than rehashing I will trust you can understand what I see as good or bad so far. Therefore I am going to skip through a little bit and go straight to the Play it or Trade it? Is there any question? No, I am playing this. I am thrilled with this device and it is becoming a centre piece for training, my swing changes and my home setup as well as range practice. Easy 20/20 here. Conclusion I am going to sum this up quickly by saying I really enjoyed the original MLM, however the MLM2PRO has taken Rapsodo from a nice to have to a must have piece of equipment for me. The data you get, the video analysis, cloud storage, price, camera options and simulation have made this a go to device for me and I will highly recommend it to anyone considering this device for all facets of their game. Final score is 92/100 Update: November 20, 2023 I have touched on this prior, however the addition of the new R-Cloud system is a deal breaker for me. If there was anything or anyone on the fence that kinda made me feel that the MLM2Pro was falling short it was that there was no way to view my stuff on PC and limited to the app. This changes that for the better in every way.

@GolfSpy TCB Not everyone is going to get this, but we will be The Distinguished Gentlemen. Those that know... know.

TESTERS ANNOUNCED! The personal launch monitor space has grown immensely over the years and Rapsodo is introducing their new MLM2Pro. The original MLM from Rapsodo consistently came top of MyGolfSpys most wanted testing in a variety of categories since its original launch. The Rapsodo MLM2Pro looks to build off that foundation while bringing new features and abilities to help golfers improve their games and practice while not breaking the bank. Here are some of the highlighted features straight from Rapsodo. “The all new MLM2PRO™ Mobile Launch Monitor + Golf Simulator Dual optical camera vision + radar processing for precision accuracy Shot Vision and Impact Vision for multi-option swing replay Simulation at 30,000+ golf courses 13 metrics - 6 measured metrics - including spin rate and spin axis Apple and Android compatible Rapsodo Combines - 24 total shots - 2 approach targets - 1 driver target Full functionality indoors and outdoors” Where the original Rapsodo MLM was great for practice and training, the addition of being a golf simulator and being able to read spin rates is very intriguing. Not to mention it is now Android compatible! Please welcome and congratulate our testers for the Rapsodo MLM2Pro! @xOldBenKenobiX @CSiders12 @GolfSpy_APH @GolfSpy BOS

Havent visited this thread in a while, which is probably a good thing. Been awfully tempted to get several different items at several times, but have managed to resist. I did make a non golfing purchase that isnt as exciting, but a necessary one as my chromebook decided that it would only work being on charge... which does not work for me. So that has turned into an off computer at work and now I have a new one on order which should allow me some more freedom again to getting several things done both forum and other!

@Berg Ryman @Jnoble89 @CB Lobo 4 Life thoughts on a team name?

Happened with my Mizuno wedges after a 6 week wait. They rushed the next order, but the disappointment was still there.

100% could have predicted that

This isn't s typical swiss town that most imagine being in the Alps. We have year round golf and it has been 35 plus the last week and no real end in sight.

My bag has been a revolving door of brands. However with the P790s sold there is no more TM. Sub70 659 TC go back in the bag while I await my Titleist irons. I've quite enjoyed the wide variety of brands I have played this year. Been fun, but also a bit of s challenge along the way.

Haven't played in a little bit due to work and heat, but looking forward to getting a round in sometime this week.

All the best at the new club and hopefully in short order you'll see the benefits of making the switch.

Titleist and Mizuno. Would take an exceptional fitting that shows clear benefits and improvements to justify the extra costs.

Did you know the smaller the profile the bigger the sweet spot gets? Not actually, but I do think there is something to being able to be confident with a smaller profile and finding the middle a little more often... But also finding the Hodel or part of the club with no grooves haha

https://mygolfspy.com/labs/ball-lab-wilson-duo-soft-golf-ball-review/ Missed this one and will admit it's not a golf ball I would consider playing, but there is a reason why a Lab was done on it as there are a lot of golfers our there playing this golf ball!

https://mygolfspy.com/we-tried-it/the-best-spikeless-shoes-of-2023-have-gone-laceless/ Not my cup of tea at first glance, but maybe if they are comfortable? @GolfSpy_Connor will be on our community call Thursday and I may have to pry his thoughts on these a little further.

Thanks for the write up and glad you found something that will work for you! I know the wait till be killer, but the good thing is that you can putt all year round so even if it's snowing there will be some enjoyment in practicing putts!

Usually when the next new product releases which will likely be April or so? And even then it's only $50-$100 at most. If you really want to driver and really want a deal go to the used market and get one there. That would be my suggestion and kinda what I am looking at doing as well.

I really wanted to watch a little more of this but truly have not had the time. I'm even behind on all my MGS readings! Oh well it's Sunday and a half day so maybe ill be able to catch a little. Been good to see a moving leaderboard and as the scores would suggest the course isn't playing overly easy.

2 more days and back to some normalcy! Been great to have some awesome teams here for this tournament, but definitely ready for a break. Plus we have a massive Festival in town I want to enjoy! https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/business/badenfahrt-festival-set-to-attract-a-million-people/48746028

Going through all of that was 10 minutes of my life I'll never get back... Off to the Good Morning Thread! @Buzzard3 glad that works for you and you have the facilities to make that work. This is a open community with lots of opinions. Great to have your own, but just as your advice is encouraging others to improve their games maybe just maybe having an open mind about some suggestions will also in turn help your game. If this falls on deaf ears so be it. I enjoy the range personally. With enhancements like top tracer challenges and drills it helps narrow focus on practice. Playing practice is something I just don't have time for with a growing family and work. While I have done it in the past I can't say it improved my Overall game. Maybe maintained the Standard I had?
