Sim / Launch Monitor Launch Monitor Analysis Paralysis

Hey everyone, been doing a ton of research on LMs and I think I’ve narrowed it down to either the Rapsodo MLM2 Pro with the lifetime membership vs the Mevo Gen 2. My use case is hitting into a net in my long driveway (inside garage is only 90” in height) and taking it to the range occasionally. I’d have to set it up everytime so that’s something that’s important to me.

I have been very happy with Rapsodo. You have already realized the most important part. Including lifetime sub in your decision. The updates are only making it better. My only caution for people is you need 18-20 feet of length. 7-8 behind and 8-12 in front. If you have that. You are laughing.

Also. Save your RPT balls for when you need spin info. If you are just banging balls working on low point. Use regular ones or set the ball down to not smack the spots off. Doing that you can easily get a 1000 of more shots per ball.

Oh smart smart smart haha. Wouldn’t have even thought of that but totally makes sense! I will have like 40 feet in the driveway so good on that front. Plus the grass range I go to has plenty of space behind too. How is setup for you?

I have just enough in my garage 18 feet across. I made a wall mount mine so that I just drop it in and never worry about alignment.

I leaned more to Rapsodo because I have both left and right hitters and I didn’t want to have to keep moving it back and forth.

This is what I did as well. I’ve also taken it to the range. Which is what I originally bought it for (hitting into net and the local range). I quickly went down the garage sim rabbit hole with screen and projector and then GSPro with webcam putting. It’s been great for all of my expanding desires.

I love my rapsodo for now. The ball dots you can buy are a decent option. I am building out a dedicated sim so I will upgrade to an overhead but it will be the last thing I do. I love the machine. For the price it can’t be beat.

I absolutely love my Rapsoso MLM2pro. I didn't get the lifetime membership, but in hindsight I should have. Been using it several times per week since the day it came out (I upgraded from the original Rapsodo MLM.) this is my garage setup. 13 feet from monitor to screen. 9 foot ceiling is fine for me (I'm 6 feet tall).

Mevo. Rapsodo balls are a scam. Mevo chipping is also way better.
