Rapsodo Mobile Launch Monitor for Golf Indoor and Outdoor Use with GPS Satellite View and Professional Level Accuracy, iPhone & iPad Only

Product Information

The KIT launch monitor has been designed to be portable, durable, reliable, easy to use, and above all trusted, allowing you to make decisions about your game in confidence.

As for what it measures, the SC4 pretty much has all the necessary metrics. It starts out with distance, which can be toggled between carry and total distance. It provides launch direction, as well as swing speed (clubhead speed, which seems to be extrapolated) and ball speed, launch angle, apex, smash factor (how solidly you are hitting it) and spin. Foresight’s range of elite-level launch monitors is something to behold and any one of them could have made this list. However, the GC Quad is their most advanced, and the monitor trusted by thousands of coaches, fitters, and professionals worldwide. Having access to this kind of data is invaluable if you change clubs or even if you’re only considering making a change. If you’re looking to switch up your driver you can just fire off 20 shots with the potential new one and compare it with 20 drives with your current one to see which performs best. Rapsodo will provide you with a detailed breakdown of all of your shots, work out average distance and even show the dispersion on an overhead map of the driving range.The answer to this question kind of depends on what level you are as a golfer. If you are beginner, then your money will best be used purchasing lessons from a PGA professional whereas if you are an aspiring professional they can prove invaluable because of the information given. Additionally we also think low to mid-handicap players can learn and improve by using launch monitors as well, and this is made possible because of the variety of models at different price points currently on the market. Are golf launch monitors accurate? We test all golf technology as comprehensively as possibleto gauge performance over time and whether it can actually help your golf game. As you would expect, this involves using different models regularly, and in different situations to see how the technology performs. A good example is using a monitor inside/outside, or in different types of weather.Of course many of the launch monitors also get used a lot because we do so much club testing as well.

As well as it just being a really cool graphic, it’s useful in terms of showing the dispersion of your shots. You’ll instantly know if you’re leaking too many shots to the right or the left, or if you’re leaving them short due to striking them poorly. A word of advice when it comes to driver though. Make sure you have the setting on “carry distance” and not “total distance”. This is important otherwise you may end up having to deal with crushing disappointment. “Why’s that, Dave?” I hear you ask.Linking with the above point, there are models with more features compared to others. Of course for most of the models we tested, measuring the golf ball's flight was the main purpose but some units offered the opportunity for simulator play, GPS functionality, or the ability to record your swing. Some also have games too.
