How accurate is the Rapsodo MLM2PRO? MLM2PRO vs Foresight GC3 

Another great video Joe and thanks for the shoutout. Being transparent and honest about your experiences is exactly what potential golf sim buyers want to hear. The key takeaway for any potential golf sim buyer is that you will always find that people have different opinions on how their units perform. It's just the nature of having these devices that have so many variables. What i suggest to every customer is to look at ALL options, don't just take the first thing you see that suits your budget. Put in the time to research your options, and you will make a much better decision long term

As someone in the final stages of building a sim and about to purchase a launch monitor, I find these comparisons invaluable. Really appreciate it.

For some of those launch monitors, the cost is equivalent to a small car, so people are really invested in these devices. I think people just get rubbed the wrong way when they are presented with data that challenges their world view. So i wouldn't worry about it. You're presenting an agendaless set of comparisons and sime people are just too invested to parse it fairly. Im a long term fan of your content and enjoy watching your vids. Youre one of the most unbiased reviewers and are happy to eat humble pie if you need to. Keep it up, dont change!

Great video Joe! Thank you for the comparison and your time putting these together.

Hey Joe! Thanks for another great video! I think that everyone that has been using launch monitors for awhile recognizies that foresight is ONE OF the gold standard launch monitors and everyone else needs to do their best to match them. Please keep doing things the way you think is right. These are large purchases for most people and there is always a tendency to want to justify said purchase. Keep up the great work and honesty!

This was awesome! Love the comparison videos! Thanks for your efforts. Don’t let the negativity get you down

Hey @joe lagowski really nice video and appreciate the confirmation on the rapsodo accuracy! You showed what I anecdotally seem to be seeing with driver launch being about a degree low consistently. I use top tracer at my range and consistently see launches higher outdoors. Just chalked it up to indoor swing previously. Another interesting note from your wild launch angle on one driver. I have had that periodically as well. Driver launching at like 20+degrees and no rhyme or reason. After your comment about the rapsodo picking up the tee I realized I started seeing these gremlins right around when I switched from birtees to k2 tees. I originally just thought rapsodo mucked something up in the update that was really problematic. But I just did a test of like 60 driver shots with birtee and didn't get one weird reading. Probably too small data set but definitely could be the culprit. Again thanks for the video and love to content!!

Great videos, Joe. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into making these. IMHO you consistently under-promise and over-deliver. I've been building my sim slowly over time and thanks to you and Triple Bogey and springbok I have successfully connected my MLM2 Pro to GS Pro. I have been close to selling my Rapsodo many times since I purchased it in April of 2023 mainly because the app is so buggy and customer service has not been the best. But with the launch monitor now connected to GS Pro and with videos like these showing how good the device is, I will keep it and not switch. I hope you continue to make these videos and look forward to watching more like them. If you get your hands on an Eye Mini Lite, please do a comparison between it and the MLM2 Pro. Also if you have experienced the Exputt not capturing data from longer putts--30-feet plus--please do a video on it. I'm working with Exputt customer service trying to figure out what is going wrong and being able to reference one of your videos on the problem would help a lot.

Great vid and good timing, got my MLM2pro delivered today, not had a chance to use it yet but this vid has justified my purchase. I almost went way too deep and got a skytrak+ but glad i compromised and watched a lot of vids including some of yours. Got a sub outa me great content. Re people moaning just ignore them, state your assumptions at the start and if people complain thats their issue not yours. I mean who can complain that your testing side my side, hitting the same ball and showing the results of 2 systems that are never going to have any interference of any kind…thats just not how the tech in these units work, so the test is 100% valid and cannot be any fairer. Keep up the great work.

Hey Joe, I’m pretty blown away by the mlm 2 pro. I have one myself and it’s had plenty of use ( everyday really) It may have the occasional drop out or miss read but they getting fewer and they continually work on it. My point is the price has to be taken into account, it’s bought home sims into the everyday person realm. We would all love a foresight but the mlm ain’t a bad compromise and your vids always help to prove it. Thanks for taking the time to do these vids. You’re a gent 😉👍

Thanks for the comparison. Crazy how close it is.

Great comparison video. Keep up the great unbiased reviews we really appreciate it!

Thanks for always being honest with your reviews Joe.

As always love your videos! Keep the honest reviews coming I really appreciate them. Love seeing the comparison videos with the gc3

Great and fair comparison. Well done Joe! Looking forward to more Rapsodo videos 👍

Hi Joe. Another great video. I have been seeing the same little short pop-up misread that you experience around 30:40 into the video. I've been seeing it off my irons, so I don't think the Rapsodo is registering the tee in my case. One other observation I've had is that following the update that allowed for chipping to be captured, the device started giving misreads off of high ball speed shots, e.g. 170 ball speed drive that tracks dead straight on the impact vision camera ends up cork-screwing off to the right on the Rapsodo range 140 yards down the fairway. This device is still very buggy and hope they can sort this out before it's time to have to pay the subscription fee (which is April for me).

Thanks for the video, you convinced me this was the one to go with so I just ordered it!

Sorry to hear about comments from the cheap seats. I think your videos are great. This is what I like to see. A close as you can get comparison between the units (same swing and ball). I am glad you a draw bias on the Raosodo with the wedge and some with the 7 iron. I have seen that too with the upper end of my bag (7-SW) based on a good solid swing. Great stuff - keep up the good work From the States

Great video! Brought my MLM2 based of your videos, love it! Can’t go wrong at less than 10% of the price of the GC3!

ty Joe, i also notice my mlm2pro is more draw biased as well. Not a lot, but enough for me to want to aim out to the right a touch on each shot.

Really love your videos. Always interesting data and information. I have a Bayside setup and must say that Sam is easily the best person I spoke with (by email) in all my research. Very happy with his service and his products. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great simulator.

Cheers for comparing the mlm2pro with GC3 !!! 👍 Since the last update, I also noticed a few (1 in 250 maybe) shots where the ball speed was way off. Also the same misreads on club head speed, like 102 mph vs 158 ball speed. If you go into the session, you will see that there is no smash factor however, which confirms that Rapsodo sort of acknowledges that it’s a misread. I do also feel that the mlm2pro might have a slight draw bias… nothing crazy (round killers, as you call them) but just enough to make me wonder. Then again, my “natural “ 😉 shot shape is a draw so I will only be able to judge when I can come out of my cave and hit balls outside… I would have loved to see the side carry distance difference on those but that metric was not shown. Maybe next time…. Cheers and keep them coming, by now you’ve turned us into junkies! 😂

Joe, it’s because of you and others on You Tube who take the time to make such good videos that the rest of us can learn from your experiences and make a decision what to buy based on your user experience and comparisons. I’m sure I speak for many when I say thankyou and keep them coming. Cheers from Canada.

Easier said than done but I hope you can try to ignore the haters. Your videos have helped me understand so many different things about launch monitors and simulation software in general. You're the most honest and thorough reviewer I've seen on RU-vid. Appreciate the content!

Thank you Sam for letting Joe borrow your GC3! The range graphics look so good on the GC3, but numbers/spin feel spot on for the $700 vs $7,000 price tag.

Joe; great comparison again! My take away is that there just isn't enough difference between the two units to justify the price difference; seems Rapsodo continues to refine the metrics and I anticipate in future software updates they will become even closer. Last thought is that a leveling stand for the GC3 may correct both the launch angle and slightly adjust the spin axis possibly bringing the two units even closer in measurements. Best regards; Great job again.

Great stuff mate!

Another great video Joe! Hey all these results are based on your swing and your setup so we cannot/should not expect exactly the same results…that would be impossible…too many variables between our swings and setups. Your video gives a great example of what to expect with these units, even the best of the best are not perfect all the time. Keep up the good work!!

Great video.. Thank you for testing the MLM2 against the GC3. When it works, the Rapsodo MLM2 hangs pretty well with the big boys. Unfortunately I had to send mine in for testing since the last update. My launch angles were 7° to 10° too low. I'm hoping to get it back soon.

love your work. your honest opinion is key. keep it up brother!

You’ll never please everyone. Great videos Joe!

great comparison sir

It's remarkable how close these two units were. Re: people giving you heat on the previous video - who cares. I mean, really, who cares. I thought it was a good video, you demonstrated some spin axis differences *in your experience* between two camera-based units. Keep on doing what you're doing. You can't please everyone and you shouldn't lose sleep over it.

I just ordered an MLM2Pro. This video was great. I'm glad the unit seems so good for a budget launch monitor and sim. Also, can't imagine why you are getting heat, but I'm grateful to you for putting this out.

Idk how people can fault an unbiased, unpaid video?!? Thanks, Joe for your hard work.

Great video again Joe! With so many shots being almost identical it's hard to know which one was more inaccurate on the shots where there were discrepencies. No launch monitor is perfect every time. For amateur golfers like most of us watching this video it does let us know that we will have an equally accurate and enjoyable experience in GSPro using either device (if the MLM2PRO doesn't disconnect every 5th shot). It then just comes down to whether paying so much more for the GC3 is worth you being able to brag about having one and how good it is to your mates!

Well done, keep doing what you are doing!

Thanks for the video. The MLM2Pro is getting better with each firmware/software upgrade and, for the price pretty close to other systems, much more expensive from what your numbers show.

Great content! Not sure why people would post negative comments, you're just presenting the data.. Also interesting how the MLM2 pro was spot on until that last disconnect. That's what I notice as well with my device, works super well where I trust all the data, to randomly seeing just weird data that doesn't make a lot of sense (or randomly starts to no read). Same set up, same everything each session. Feel like Rapsodo really needs to figure that out then this will be a very well liked product. Consistency is key!

I bought the Rhapsodo and really love it so far. Can't really beat it for the price.

Hey Joe - those who dont like what you are saying is just too damn bad! You shoot straight and are not a bought channel and that is what is important - if I want to hear how a great a product is to make my ego feel good about a purchase regardless of reality, I can go the that products website and hear all the BS I need to - plus the fact the effort that you put into for EACH video shows how serious you too are about getting it right!!! Keep doing what you are doing!!!

great video thanks! stops me feeling like I need to spend a bunch of money

Awesome job Joe. I am also having a ton of disconnects with my MLM2 Pro. I am not sure what to make of it but to be honest, I am getting kind of tired of it. I know that it isn't as expensive as some other units, but it still wasn't cheap. Hopefully, Rapsodo fixes the glitches soon.

to prevent disconnects on mlm2pro use low image setting on ball setting

Similar to you, I never really had connection issues until the latest update--frustrating!

Nice comparison, thanks. Been considering the mlm2pro. I'm interested to use it at an outdoor range not indoor. Any idea how accurate it would be? Total distance, shot shape, backspin. Have u done a review showing the courses and play on the mlm2pro? Btw noticed significant differences in peak height between the 2 units in your test. Shame on those haters!

Hello, i have just set up net in garden and purchased the rapsodo mlm2.. loving it and when it works its so accurate BUT... im getting so many disconnects its ruining the experience that much im thinking of going for garmin r10.. can you advise what would you do or is there a fix for the disconnects

Excellent fair comparison showing all 5 parameters that affect ball flight. Clear that rapsodo is great bang for your buck. Just one thing, gc3 is self leveling I believe

Nice comparison, would you do this with the Mevo+ limited edition?

very good thx

Have you noticed a difference in the launch angles with the latest Firmware update? By the way, great video very impartial and just providing the data.

When you seen the discrepancies which unit did you feel read the right shot?

to hell with these haters.. love the video,,, my only thing is using more screen space.. your logo in the video takes away from other things id like to be seeing like your swing etc.. other than that love the comparison and cant wait till i finally get my mlm2!

I noticed that the carry distances were pretty close but total distance was off with Rapsoto (always less yardage) BTW thank you for the test comparison!

Hello Joe, excellent comparison, David called me, I am a professional player in Spain, my question is the following, do you think that with the special callaway ball for the rapsodomlm2pro the readings would be more equal? I say this because of the differences you have had with the 4 iron and the driver, I have had 3 simulators and the mlm2 gives me a lot of confidence. what do you think? thank you for your honesty😊

So what would you buy? Original Skytrak, MLM2Pro or save for a used GC2?

Please take GC3, Eye Mini and Rapsodo to a real outdoor drivingrange and do the same test 💪💪Great videos you make

i thought the rapsodo doesnt read spin at all if you dont use a dot ball. if i change out my rapsodo ball for a differnt one it gives me bonkers spin rates

Sadly . For me the new firmware and update on the MLM2pro has been a absolute disaster . I was one of the lucky ones who had a flawless working unit . Picked up every shot . Chips as short as 1.5 meters . Super accurate . Then did the upgrade which you are forced to do and my unit has been a worthless ever since . It misses many shots . For what ever reason it cant read back spin accurately . All my clubs no matter what club will range from 860 to 12500 spin rate . Is completely random . Tried moving things . Did reinstall . Nothing is working . Tried to play GSpro today and had to quit could not get any wedges to hold the green with 860 spin . So sad . I was the one who was always cheering how great the unit was and now this . LOL . They need to have a option to revert back to old update or firm ware . I have contacted support . See what happens . I use this almost daily . Not now .Any one else having this issue .

Ignore the idiots Joe, Genuine people know the sincerity that you give us this information. Appreciate your contribution. Forget the people having. a bad life!!!!!!

I'm looking into the MLM2 PRO but in all your videos you have so many disconnects. How are you connecting the MLM2 PRO? Doesn't give me much confidence in the device.

$7k vs $600 can't fault the rapsodo
