Once the MLM is turned on and Bluetooth paired, it’s quick. It knows my course gps location w/map, I get out of the cart first & start setting up, re-pair, orientate the hole which is just a quick swipe on the screen ... I’m doing this while everyone is jawing about the last hole or how to play the next hole or choosing a club - no real rush ... I put a tee in the ground like in a scramble & everyone drops their ball near it. That way they are pre-positioned in the screen during their shot ... or I make a very minor realignment of the camera. I stand next to the MLM and they announce their club selection, then as they visualize their shot, I make a quick club selection on screen. It’s all fast & simple. The thing to remember is that MLM records everything as if it’s only me ... but we can see who is in the video, and we know approx where each of us landed. I can go back to a hole later, if we all hit different clubs it’s even easier. I click on a shot to pull up the video, and if Aiden wants a copy of the shot he hit on 17, I can dm share it with him. Granted, if you are a slow group you might catch hell from people. But then again, if play is slow and it’s not because of your group, you have lots of time to set it up ... But it’s quicker for me to enter each person’s club selection instead of them trying to get the camera to read their club ... I have not been able to get it to recognize my black finish irons, anyway. So if your are smart and considerate of others, I don’t see how it can slow you down. I believe it’s far worse when people are not ready to putt when it’s their turn. 4 Quote Associate USGTF Certified TPI - lvl 1 WITB....

I believe it’s far worse when people are not ready to putt when it’s their turn. That’s pretty cool - I think I’ll stick to focusing on keeping the ball in plain sight on par 3’s though. I can’t get mine properly oriented on the range. It would become a real laugh riot were I to try and use it on the course like this. It would probably have all of us on a neighboring lanai. :) Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 1 Quote Ping G410 - turned down to11.25 degrees, neutral setting - Fujikura Motore X R flex Ping G410 5-9 wood Wilson D7 forged 6-GW - Mamiya recoil 460 R flex SCOR 52,60 EVNRoll ER 5 Titleist Pro VIx optic yellow with revkev stamped on them Currently testing Edison wedges to replace SCORS that are wearing out.

Rchang 260 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) Just wanted to update. I'm continuing to use the Rapsodo. I have been working on Monte Scheinblum's No Turn Cast video. Has been working very well for me. The MLM is helpful to tag the video with how the shot was, so when I come home I can compare what was a good swing and see if can see trends. When I was doing the testing, my driver swing was horrible. I'm still working on it, but after a lesson and Monte's information go along with it, I'm trying to get more upright on my takeaway and get my arms moving in front of my chest more. I was able to see getting my right arm behind and stuck on this swing from couple weeks ago Working on my cues for range session today. Worked through my wedges first And slow 8 iron Then driver. Wasn't doing well Then with the real time video, I noticed I am very hunched over at address. Moved to more upright feeling (felt like standing up) Definitely MLM is powerful, but finding more uses for it Edited April 8 by Rchang 5 Quote WITB G400 10.5 M2 3HL Titleist 818 3 and 4 hybrid Ping G15 5-gap Vokey SM7 54 degrees Vokey SM6 58 degrees Bobby Grace Shiloh putter Link to post Share on other sites
Brian A 1,028 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Does anyone know how the ball you use reflects the rapsodo data? I know one local range uses lower flight balls (10% less distance, so they say) so if I hit those would the MLM show the real distance or the reduced distance the ball is actually flying?

Hoyoymac 179 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Just picked up a used Rapsodo MLM yesterday from a friend. Looking forward to getting it set-up and using it for range sessions with my wedges. 1 Quote Ping G410 LST 10.5 Tour Edge EX 10 - 16.5 Tour Edge XCG7 - 21 Titleist 818 H1 - 25 Titleist AP3 6-48 Corey Paul Functional Art 52, 56 & 60 Odyssey O Works Black #7 with Stability Shaft Bridgestone Tour BRX Link to post Share on other sites

I know one local range uses lower flight balls (10% less distance, so they say) so if I hit those would the MLM show the real distance or the reduced distance the ball is actually flying? My educated guess is that you won’t get accurate numbers. Reduced distance cones from reduced ball speed - you’ll get an accurate reflection of what’s happening with the reduced balls Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote Ping G410 - turned down to11.25 degrees, neutral setting - Fujikura Motore X R flex Ping G410 5-9 wood Wilson D7 forged 6-GW - Mamiya recoil 460 R flex SCOR 52,60 EVNRoll ER 5 Titleist Pro VIx optic yellow with revkev stamped on them Currently testing Edison wedges to replace SCORS that are wearing out.

rvjimzhr 0 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Hoping that Rapsodo Support reads these posts. Just purchased new Rapsodo launch monitor. It arrived and is charged. I have the app on my iphone. I cannot open the app which is a requirement to actually use the launch monitor. Rapsodo app doesn't recognize registration info,..username and password which has been confirmed email by Rapsodo. I can logon to Rapsodo page and use my new account. However, the app doesn't recognize any of this info and thus will not allow me to open the app and pair the device with my phone. So I'm dead in the water. As to SUPPORT from Rapsodo........NON EXISTENT SO FAR AFTER 2 DAYS. I've tried to create another account on the app but unsuccessful.....it doesn't recognize the email address which Rapsodo has confirmed!! (??)) My next step is to call my credit card company and cancel/dispute the charge. Maybe then I'll get some support from Rapsodo......timely and meaningful support. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
