5 Reasons to Buy the Rapsodo MLM2PRO Golf Launch Monitor

Are you looking for a launch monitor that gives you premium data, built-in simulation, all without breaking the bank? The Rapsodo MLM2PRO delivers that and more. In today's video, I’m going to show you how it measures up, who it’s right for, and the 5 big reasons why you should buy the Rapsodo MLM2PRO.

Let’s be clear: Most budget launch monitors are guessing at a lot of the numbers. Sure, you’ll get a ball speed or a carry distance, but once you dive into advanced metrics like club path or angle of attack? Forget it. They’re usually guesses.

The MLM2PRO is different. With its dual-camera and radar setup, it directly measures club path and angle of attack. That’s a big deal.

Why does that matter? Because those two metrics are where you start to get into the separation between toy and real practice tool. Ball flight tells you what happened. Path and angle of attack tell you why it happened. Now you can connect the dots between swing and result.

And unlike some competitors that only work indoors (looking at you, Square), the MLM2PRO gives you those measured numbers both inside and outside. At $699, that’s unheard of.

And context matters here. The Garmin R10 is a blast, but more of its club metrics are algorithmic. The Swing Caddie SC4 Pro nails ball data, but won’t tell you as much about what your club is doing. The Square measures club stuff directly, which is great, but it’s indoor-only and skips staples like clubhead speed and smash factor.

The MLM2PRO threads the needle. Measure path and angle of attack indoors and outdoors, with the rest of the core numbers you actually use.

The other thing that matters here is accuracy. And I can tell you that the MLM2PRO, if it’s set up correctly, is capable of being as accurate as launch monitors that cost much more. Aside from some missed shot complaints, you’ll rarely see anyone questioning the MLM2PRO’s accuracy.

Most of the time, video is an add-on. You usually have to use an additional device, such as a phone or tablet, on a tripod.

Not here. The MLM2PRO has two built-in cameras:

• Shot Vision for down-the-line swing videos with shot tracer and data displayed on the same screen.

• Impact Vision for a slow-motion close-up of the ball meeting the clubface.

Every swing is automatically saved. If you’ve got the Premium membership, you can bank 10,000 videos. That means no fiddling with your phone, no missed reps, no “I wish I caught that swing on video.”

That’s a huge upgrade over devices like the Garmin R10 or FlightScope Mevo Gen2, which require extra gear.

Even better, the video is tied directly to the data. You don’t just see what happened, you see it with the numbers that explain it.

I really love how every shot is automatically videoed in two different ways. I’m the type of guy who’s never really going to bring an extra tripod and set up a camera to record my swing out at the range. At least it’s not something I’m interested in doing regularly.

But the MLM2PRO makes that so easy. If you want to see your swing when you’re reviewing a certain shot, it’s there automatically. If you don’t want to see it, don’t worry about it. Same with a close-up of your impact for each shot. Really cool stuff.

Raw data is cool until you realize you have no idea what to do with it. That’s where other budget launch monitors fall flat. They give you a bunch of numbers but not as much insight.

The MLM2PRO takes a smarter approach with built-in practice tools, including:

• Rapsodo Combine — a 24-shot test that spits out a handicap score and tells you what to actually practice.

• Insights — post-session breakdowns that show how your stats compare to different handicap levels and where you need improvement.

• R-Speed Mode — lets you train swing speed without hitting a ball.

So instead of just tracking shots, the MLM2PRO gives you really usable ways to interpret that information. That’s one of the things I really like about this launch monitor and the whole Rapsodo experience.

I think the Rapsodo Combine and Insights are especially cool. I like how the Combine scores your performance and gives you a really easy way to track your improvement. It’s a handicap, exactly like in real golf. And I like how the Insights feature gives you plain-English summaries that compare your numbers to different handicap levels and point you toward specific tips that apply to your specific game.

With the MLM2PRO, out of the box, you get a solid E6 Connect starter pack with five courses, two virtual driving ranges, and three games. And when you upgrade to Premium, you unlock:

• 30,000-plus courses via Rapsodo’s own native simulator software

• Full GSPro integration (a huge addition that came in 2025)

• Access to Awesome Golf and other platforms.

No, the MLM2PRO simulator experience isn’t perfect. For example, the Rapsodo Courses are more of an animated cartoon course experience, kind of like Garmin’s Home Tee Hero. Also, all of the putting in sim play is handled via autoputt with the MLM2PRO.

But for under $1,000, this is as close to a real SIM experience as it gets. And the fact that Rapsodo keeps upgrading its sim ecosystem tells me it’ll only get better.

Two caveats worth knowing going in: Very short chips can go unread, and the hitting zone is on the smaller side.

Alright, guys, to me, this is an overlooked reason to buy the MLM2PRO. Most budget devices ship as-is and may get one or two bug fixes before the company moves on to a different product.

Rapsodo has done the opposite. Since launch, the MLM2PRO has gotten:

• Measured club path and angle of attack.

• A built-in leveling tool for consistent alignment.

• Expanded ball compatibility (RPT Titleist and Callaway)

• Native GSPro integration.

• Better simulator elevation and course rendering.

And they’ve done all that without bumping up the $699 price.

That means when you buy the MLM2PRO, you’re not just buying today’s device. You’re buying into an overall system that keeps upgrading. I think that’s a big consideration for a device that you’re hoping to own for a few years. When a company continues to roll out improvements, that’s a good sign.

The MLM2PRO isn’t flawless. Spin numbers require RPT balls indoors. Battery life is shorter than some competitors. And to get pretty much any of the best features, you’re stuck paying for the Premium Membership, which is $199 a year or a one-time $499 payment.

But here’s the thing: I don’t know what you think you’re going to find under $1,000 that’s better than this.

It measures what other devices only estimate. It delivers automatic video playback that’s actually useful. It gives you insights that you can use to really improve. And it keeps getting better with upgrades instead of getting stale.

I’d budget for Premium from day one. That unlocks the real value, like Combine, Insights, Rapsodo Courses, Rapsodo Range, Impact Vision, and the deeper video storage. The free 45-day trial lets you test it, but realistically, the membership is part of what you should expect to spend.

I think if you just want the most bare-bones basics, there are cheaper ways to do it. But, to me, the Rapsodo MLM2PRO comes into play when you’re interested in getting a little bit serious but aren’t willing to go totally crazy.

You’re getting measured swing data, automatic video, sim golf included, and a company that’s committed to ongoing improvements. That’s a pretty compelling package.
