Is the Stack unit the same as a PRGR?
Rapsodo MLM2PRO is the best under $1,000… easily. Wonder how it would’ve stacked up if it had more club metrics beyond club speed like club path and angle of attack. What would be the score?
Subscription earned. Great video
Shame there was not a comparison of data against a GC Quad. I've used PRGR, Swing Speed Radar, Swing Caddie SC 200 and Rapsodo Mlm. In my opinion, Swing Speed Radar is only good for speed training, not hitting balls, PRGR is fairly accurate for ball speed, Tested against trackman range, the same applies for swing caddie sc200 regarding ball speed. Rapsodo is step up from these units and provided good ball data, not to sure if i would trust club speed with this unit.
Man, another video that doesn't include the Full Swing Kit…. really makes me question that device if there hasn't been any interest on it in the past year…
I went rapsodo MLM2pro last year and very happy with it. I did spend more money on a good hitting mat (Fiberbuilt hitting mat $600, zero issues with more than 1000 shots. Still looks brand new) and a $400 on Net GoSports Elite hitting net. Very happy with the setup.
Mark levitating to launch monitors! 😂🤣
Great backyard setup!
So does the R10 only work with Iphones or PC? Not Android?
No Bushnell Launch Pro? It can be gotten for under $3k pretty easily now. One big issue I have with Skytrack – no Angle of Attack measurement. As someone who's working on that and other club-related things, not getting that measurement is shocking and a shame since it just removes this device from my list. I went R10 just for the club data and price.
Excellent video! I have the original Skytrak but I'm ready to upgrade. Right now they're on sale plus your code works with the sale. That's winning!!!!!
What’s the minimum total distance for the flight scope mevo plus? I only have around 14-15ft to play with
Why didnt you include the Uneekor Eye Mini Lite? It comes in at $2750
How long before we get the "no ball required" option? In theory all of the required technology already exists.
Could you do a man cave set up where as you play courses on a big screen?
Thank you. Looking for something for a home simulator
Really miss the course vlogs from Marc and lockey etc. dream is that they come back
I actually don’t mind the subscription pricing model – if the user base is big enough (which Rapsodo’s seems to be), the ongoing income stream from subscriptions should motivate the company to keep supporting / updating / developing the device. I’ve made plenty of “great deal” tech purchases where the support disappears once they move on to selling a new model.
You have to stop 'levitating' and start 'gravitating'. Otherwise you'll just float off into the atmosphere. Great review otherwise.
I bought the mlm2pro, app had broken features, support wouldn't extend my $200/yr subscription. It was not accurate at all, I'd be at the range, perfectly setup, constantly telling me 20+ yards further than I actually hit the balls.
Mark keeps mentioning 'subscription' with the mevo+, but one of the awesome things about it is that the upgrades for club data, face impact are all one-time-purchace add-ons. There's no subscriptions. it's a great unit
🙏
I don’t see any reason why any amateur golfer needs a $3k launch monitor when you can get a MLM2Pro, for example, and then use the extra money for a whole set of clubs or lessons.
Replacing my 20 year old clubs or .1% more accurate numbers? Choice is easy.
Big problem with the trackman is half my family are right and half left handed
Hi Mark, as always great content. Did you have any issues with wedges with the Mevo plus with your net so close to the mat? I read that mevo plus needs 7-8 of ball flight for wedges which means balls could potentially fly over the net. Thank you!
I have used Mevo+ quite a few times and I found the data indoor really poor above 150 yards. I think for indoor I would choose a skytrak system unless using it at a range. I actually found my small mevo was way better than the plus. I even tried the RCT balls but yardages are all over the place. For example on GCquad I carry my 7 iron about 180. Mevo plus says 210
Driver I carry on quad around 290 yards Mevo plus I can’t get it past 240 yards. I did find all the club data pretty accurate but yardages were awful
Great review Mark would love to see skytrack+ vs mevo + vs bushnell launch pro for a indoor simulator comparison
Anyone help with how easy it is to store the mat(s) and net i.e. Can you easily put them up and take them down to put away? I know range mats for example are heavy and cumbersome, and are they both pretty much weatherproof? And can you upgrade the Mevo+ at a later date? i.e. is it a software/firmware upgrade Thanks in advance 😊
