PRGR Launch Monitor


Recommended Posts

Thinking about purchasing a PRGR Launch monitor to use in the range and short practice sessions at home. I’ve read some of the previous posts more so regarded during the super speed training forum. What’s the overall consensus? I haven’t read too many negatives outside of it occasionally being difficult to get the right distance for setup purposes. All info is appreciated!!

I think it's decent. It's a get what you pay for type deal, but does the trick for Ball Speed and swing speed. Ask for carry I'd say it's okay, not amazing but again for the price worth it. I can't say I used wedges and short game so that part i can't really say but the rest i would say a sound device

Does anyone know if the ball affects the readings in the PRGR? A range ball vs a premium. I looked Up the algorithm and did a quick google search as well and it sounds like it might hit their wasn’t a consensus

It my head it should. A range ball is going to spin more and have slower balls speeds so it should be a difference.

It’s just tracking club and ball speed for initial flight and calculating a carry based on an algorithm. The only difference it would calculate between different balls would be through speed. 
 

In my experience it’s not great at giving carry numbers, but really shines for tracking speed.  Plus, its small enough to quickly check in on the course and at the range without any significant set-up.

I've only had the PRGR for a week and I use it indoors.  My basement is well-lit but not daylight-bright. The carry distance numbers are way off, but the club head speed and ball speed are right on, as compared to my R-Motion PC simulator and its iPhone app.  Wish I could solve the distance discrepancy, but maybe it needs more sunlight on a range.....when it gets warmer!

That said, my need is to chart how far I hit each club.  I thought the PRGR would do it, but so far, no.  It is too cold to go to the range, so there's still hope.  Otherwise, I'll have to measure it out/backwards with my gps on the golf course this spring.  You'd think, with all our tech, there's be a simple distance tracking device or program.

I never found my PRGR to be accurate for distance. It could be the balls I was using on the range. I use it for SS only as a way to judge if I'm making progress* in improving my swing speed. . I also found that it was highly inaccurate on short game shots - with anything higher in loft than a PW. 

* note PRGR monitors were part of the SuperSpeed Official Test and were solely used for that purpose (swing speed)
