Looking for an under $1000 launch monitor to meet very specific needs


Recommended Posts

I returned my Rapsodo MLM2 Pro because I was getting wacky numbers.  This is what I am looking for:

1) Works well using outdoors hitting into a net.  I will not be using it indoors and rarely on the range.  Accuracy using a net is paramount.

2) Accurate measurement of club head speed, ball speed and spin rate.  Other parameters such as ball curve, landing angle, launch angle, etc. would be nice but head speed, ball speed and spin rate are paramount for me.

So, any suggestions?

 

14 of the following:

Ping G430 Max 10.5 degree

Callaway 2023 Big Bertha 3 wood set to 17 degrees

Cobra F9 Speedback 7/8 wood set at 23.5 degrees

Callaway Epic Max 11 wood

Ping Eye 2 BeCu 2-SW

Mizuno 923 JPX HM HL 6-GW

Hogan sand wedge 56 degree bent to 53

Maltby M Series+ 54 degree

Ping Glide 3.0 Eye2 58 degree

Ping Glide 3.0 60 degree

Evnroll ER2

Ping Sigma 2 Anser

Cheap Top Flite mallet putter from Dick's, currently holding down first place in the bag

The Flightscope Mevo is probably your next bet if you want spin rates, no other launch monitor that is below 1k does spin I don't think, if you have a look at the mygolfspy reviews there is a launch monitor section. The Rapsodo is probably the best with the rpt balls and spin rate according to the tests being done.

Mevo, SC200+, and SC300i were all shown to be very accurate in past tests. Plus they're all very portable and don't have subscriptions.

Thanks.  But I don't think they do spin rate.

The SC300i will with the app. The mevo does as well.

I have an SC 300i. You won't get side spin. I think club speed is also derived. 

Not sure whether mevo+ gathers or derives club data. It will also cost more than a grand. I'm pretty sure even the PRGR will get you decent backspin numbers.
