App / Firmware

How do I update the firmware on my device?

Connect your device to the Rapsodo Golf app. The app checks for updates every time the device connects; when one is available, the Device screen shows UPDATE DEVICE.

How do I check my current firmware version?

Open the Rapsodo Golf app and go to Settings → App Settings: your app and firmware versions are at the bottom. The firmware version appears after a device has been connected at least once.

Do I need to update the app as well as the firmware?

Yes. For best results, always keep both the Rapsodo Golf app and your device firmware up to date.

Bag Mapping & Wedge Matrix

What is Bag Mapping?

Bag Mapping measures how far you really hit each club, so you can see gaps or overlaps in your bag. It needs a membership and works with the MLM2PRO and the MLM2XPRO.

What is Wedge Matrix?

Wedge Matrix maps your carry distance for each wedge at different swing lengths, so you know which swing to use for each pin. It needs a membership and at least one wedge in your bag; otherwise you'll see "Add a Wedge First". It works with the MLM2PRO and the MLM2XPRO.

How do I add or edit clubs in my bag?

Use the Bag tab. Your bag holds one club of each type. Other clubs of the same type stay in your Inventory. Adding, removing and moving clubs needs internet. Club specs (loft, length, lie, flex) can be edited offline and sync later. Play modes need at least one club, and Wedge Matrix needs a wedge.

How does a Bag Mapping session work?
  1. Choose the clubs to map (Select Clubs), or turn on Map all clubs. 
  2. Take your warm-up swings. They aren't saved. 
  3. When you see Now Hitting, hit 5 shots with the first club. 
  4. When the club shows COMPLETED, tap Next Club, or Finish Mapping on the last one.
How does a Wedge Matrix session work?
  1. Select the wedges to map. 
  2. In Select Swing Types, choose the swing lengths to map (for example 1/2, 3/4 and full). If you pick none, only full swings are mapped. 
  3. Hit 5 shots for each wedge and swing length, up to 10 if more are needed. 
  4. When you're done, you'll see a chart of your carry distances for every wedge and swing length. For example, 3 wedges with 3 swing lengths take at least 45 shots.

Connection Troubleshooting

What permissions does the app need?

The app asks for them in this order: 

  1. Local Network (iPhone and iPad only). 
  2. Bluetooth. On Android 12 and later it appears as "Nearby devices". 
  3. Location, with Location Services turned on. The app needs it to read your Wi-Fi network name. If you refused a permission earlier, the popup's Open Settings button takes you to the right place.
How do I connect my device for the first time?
  1. Turn the device on and wait for a solid red light. Keep your phone within 30  feet.
  2. In the app, start connecting and pick your device from the list. 
  3. Choose a connection type (see the next question). 
  4. If asked, register the device to your account. The first connection must be made over a Wi-Fi network with internet access (Local Network). This activates your device. After that, you can use either connection type.
Local Network or Direct Connection: which should I use?
  • Local Network (recommended): the device and your phone join the same home Wi-Fi network. With internet access, every play mode works.
  • Direct Connection: your phone joins the device's own Wi-Fi. Courses and
    partner apps then need your phone's cellular data. Firmware updates aren't
    possible in this mode, and uploads may wait until you're back on your home
    Wi-Fi. 

You can switch any time from the Device screen → Connection Type → CHANGE.

Can I use my device away from home, without Wi-Fi (for example at the range)?

Yes, once your device has been set up. Make the first connection over Wi-Fi (Local Network), which activates the device. After that, use Direct Connection: your phone connects straight to the device. Practice, Driving Range and Target Range work without internet. Courses and partner apps need your phone's cellular data.

Courses & Putting

Can I putt with my device?

With the MLM2XPRO, yes: select your Putter before putting. The device looks for putts only while the putter is selected, and ignores full swings then. Use the same setup distance as for your other clubs. Very short, slow putts may not register: the device needs a ball speed of at least about 2.7 mph (4.3 km/h). The MLM2PRO doesn't measure putts; in Courses it uses Auto Putt. Putting works in both the mobile and PC apps, with a Core or Studios membership.

Does MLM2XPRO putting work with GSPro and other third-party software?

Yes. MLM2XPRO putting works with GSPro and with other third-party software that supports putting.

How does putting work in Courses?
  • Auto Putt on (default): once your ball stops on the green, the hole is finished for you. Before the round you choose two distances: the 1 Putt distance (upto 12 ft) and the 2 Putts distance (up to 18 ft). A ball beyond the 2-putt distance counts as 3 putts. 
  • Auto Putt off (MLM2XPRO only): you putt with the device. A ball that stops inside the gimme distance (5–15 ft, default 5 ft) counts as holed with one more stroke. With the MLM2PRO, Auto Putt is always on.
The course list is empty.

Courses loads its course list from the internet. Check that your phone is online; in Direct Connection mode, that means cellular data. Courses also needs a membership.

Data & Accuracy

What metrics does the MLM2XPRO provide?

The MLM2PRO and the MLM2XPRO provide the same metrics: Carry, Total Distance, Side Carry, Ball Speed, Club Speed, Smash Factor, Launch Angle, Launch Direction, Apex, Descent Angle, Spin Rate, Spin Axis, Attack Angle and Club Path.

Which ball do I need? Do I need RPT golf balls?

The MLM2XPRO works with any type of golf ball for ball speed, launch and carry. For measured spin rate and spin axis, use an RPT ball indoors and select it in Session Setup. RPT balls help deliver a truer shot shape compared with what you would see on the course.

How are spin rate and spin axis measured?

Through our partnerships with Callaway and Titleist, we specially engineered balls to measure spin rate and spin axis. These golf balls are called RPT golf balls and are designed with Rapsodo Precision Technology (RPT™), so the MLM2XPRO can track the in-flight spin rate and spin axis of the ball. This allows you to receive spin measurements within 1% of the accuracy of high-priced launch monitors.

Will I get spin rate and spin axis if I use a regular golf ball? Why is spin missing or grayed out?

Spin is measured only with an RPT ball selected and the Net environment. With a non-RPT ball, or in the Range environment, spin isn't available. Spin metrics also need a membership.

Where can I purchase more Titleist or Callaway RPT golf balls?

You can purchase Callaway and Titleist RPT golf balls exclusively at Rapsodo.com

Devices & Usage

How should I set up my device?
  1. Place it 7.5 feet (2–3 paces) behind the ball on a flat surface. 
  2. Align it with your target line. 
  3. Put the ball inside the orange hitting area to get club data. 
  4. Use the level indicator on the alignment screen. Continue unlocks when the device is level. 

The setup distance is the same for the MLM2PRO and the MLM2XPRO.

What are the space requirements to set up indoors?

You need at least 8 feet from the ball to the net, plus 7.5 feet behind the ball for the device: a little more than 15 feet in total. Taller players may need to place the device further back to capture their entire swing video.

Can I use the device indoors and outdoors?

Yes. In Session Setup, choose Net ("Indoors or Outdoors") when you hit into a net, or Range ("Outdoors (full ball flight)") when you watch the full flight. Spin is shown only in Net with an RPT ball.

How is setup easier on the MLM2XPRO?

The MLM2XPRO has a small screen on top that shows a level indicator, plus its Wi-Fi connection and battery status. Its tripod is adjustable, so together with the screen, leveling is quick. Connecting is faster too, and you can turn on Auto-Connect so the app connects to your device automatically.

I'm left-handed. Is the setup different?

Place the device the same way, 7.5 feet behind the ball. Set Handedness to Left Handed under Settings → Player Settings. The device uses this setting for its swing camera view.

The device isn't picking up my shots.
  • Open Alignment and check the device is level and the ball is inside the hitting area. 
  • Use one ball at a time in the hitting area. 
  • MLM2XPRO: watch the ring around the ball. White means the device is ready to hit. Green means the ball was found. Orange means not ready (tap it to open the camera view). Amber means it's still searching. 
  • The ring on your screen and the light on the device use different colors. On screen, a white ring means you're ready to hit. On the MLM2XPRO itself, a solid green light means the same thing.
  • If Impact Vision is open, close it. Shot detection pauses while Impact Vision is active. 
  • If you see "Invalid Shot", the device couldn't measure that swing. Hit again.

Play Modes & Practice

Which play modes are there?
  • Practice: Practice, Driving Range, Target Range, Bag Mapping and Wedge Matrix. 
  • Courses: full rounds on real courses. 
  • 3rd Party: GSPro, E6 CONNECT, Awesome Golf and The Stack System. Practice is free. The other modes need a membership.
How do I play with GSPro, E6 CONNECT, Awesome Golf or The Stack?
  1. Connect your device and align it. 
  2. On the Play tab, tap the partner under 3rd Party. The app shows a License Code you can copy, and authenticates your device with the partner. 
  3. When you see "Authentication Successful", open the partner app to play. 

Partner apps need internet and a membership. The GSPro connection process hasn't changed with the new app.

What membership do I need for GSPro and other third-party apps?

A Core membership is required for third-party connections. You don't need Rapsodo Studios.

Does club data pass through to GSPro?

No.

Rapsodo Golf for PC

What do I need to use the Rapsodo Golf for PC app?

The PC app requires a Core membership (Lifetime members included). It works with the MLM2PRO and the MLM2XPRO, and you don't need to upgrade your device to use it. Rapsodo Studios is an optional add-on.

Does the PC app work on a Mac?

No. Rapsodo Golf for PC works only on Windows computers.

How does my device connect to the PC app?

With a USB-C cable.

What are the PC requirements for the Rapsodo Golf for PC app?

To view a complete list of PC requirements, please see the PC Requirements document located in the Golf Learning Center.

Sessions, Sync & Videos

Can I use the app without internet?

Yes. Sessions and shots are saved on your phone and upload the next time a sync runs while you're online. Your first device connection (over Wi-Fi), membership details and some registration steps need internet.

Can I export my data?

You can export videos with shot trace to share on social media, share with friends or send to an instructor, using Export shot video. There's currently no option to export session data in CSV or a similar format.

General

What is included with the purchase of a MLM2PRO?

Can I upload my data and information from my MLM1 to my MLM2PRO?
  • The MLM2PRO platform is separate from the MLM1 platform and will require a separate app download. You will be able to download the MLM2PRO app from the Apple Store and Google Play.
  • You can view both your MLM1 and your MLM2PRO data separately within R-Cloud.
Where can I find my device serial number?

The serial number is located on the bottom of your MLM2PRO device where the tripod and the device connect.

What is the return policy for MLM2PRO?

How do I update my app to the latest version?

Visit the Apple App Store or Google Play Store > Search Rapsodo > Tap Update. Deleting and re-installing the app will also download the most recent version of the app.

Do I need to use the RPT-patterned golf balls?

MLM2PRO works with any type of golf ball. We encourage the use of the RPT balls indoors for measured spin rate and spin axis. RPT balls help deliver a truer shot shape compared to what you would see out on the course.

Data & Accuracy

What metrics does the Rapsodo MLM2PRO™ measure?  

The MLM2PRO™ provides 15 metrics including:  

  • Angle of Attack (measured)  
  • Club Path (measured)  
  • Ball Speed (measured)  
  • Club Speed (measured) 
  • Smash Factor  
  • Launch Angle (measured) 
  • Launch Direction (measured) 
  • Carry Distance  
  • Total Distance  
  • Spin Rate (measured) 
  • Spin Axis (measured) 
  • Descent Angle  
  • Side Carry  
  • Apex  
  • Shot Type  
How are spin rate and spin axis measured?  

Through our partnerships with Callaway and Titleist, we specially engineered balls to measure spin rate and spin axis. These new golf balls are called RPT golf balls and are designed with Rapsodo Precision Technology (RPT™) so the MLM2PRO™ can track the in-flight spin rate and spin axis of the ball. This allows you to receive spin measurements within 1% of the accuracy of high-priced launch monitors.

Will I get spin rate and spin axis if I use a regular golf ball instead of the specialized RPT Golf Balls

A Titleist or Callaway® RPT™ Golf Ball is required to show spin numbers.

What are the set up requirements for outdoor use?  

The MLM2PRO™ is designed to sit 6.5-8.5 feet directly behind the ball aimed down the target line. 

What are the ideal space requirements to set up MLM2PRO™ indoors?

A little more than 14 total feet is needed. First, 8 feet is needed from ball to the net. Then, the MLM2PRO™ requires another 6.5-8.5 feet behind the ball. Taller players may need to place the device further back to capture their entire swing video.

How does ball type or elevation affect the results? 

Elevation affects distances, trajectory and descent angle  

  • The higher the elevation, the less dense the air is. Because of this, there is less drag force on the ball (resistance) allowing it to maintain speed during flight, resulting in greater distance.   
  • General rule of thumb is every 1500 ft of increased elevation = ball will travel 3-5% further  

A range ball vs premium ball will also affect your data. A range ball will fly shorter, generate less spin, and not produce as much ball speed as a premium golf ball.   

Within the MLM2PRO™ App, you can adjust your settings to account for elevation and ball type to ensure your data is as accurate as possible.  

Can I use plastic/foam golf balls? 

No, MLM2PRO™ will not capture data with foam/plastic balls.  You will want to use a Range or Premium Golf Ball, and with MLM2PRO™ it is recommended that you use the included Callaway®RPT™ Chrome Soft X™ Balls to take advantage of all the metrics that can be captured (Spin and Spin Axis).

How is the MLM2PRO™ data stored? 

If your mobile phone or tablet has an active internet connection (Wi-Fi or Cellular), shots will sync to the cloud during the session. If you do not have an active internet connection, shots will begin syncing once your phone/tablet connects to the internet (the MLM2PRO™ App must stay open during the sync process). 

Where can I purchase more Titleist or Callaway RPT Golf Balls? 

Additional golf balls can be purchased on the Rapsodo website for $65/dozen.

Can I export my data? 

You can export videos with shot trace to share on social media, share with friends, or send them to an instructor!  Currently, we don’t offer the ability to export data from a session in CSV or similar format.

If you have one of these devices, you will have the option to choose between Indoor/Outdoor modes right after you hit Play and then Practice. If not, it will automatically assume you are on Outdoor mode because the device is not supported.

If your device is not currently supported for MLM1 Net, please be patient as we continue working to optimize our algorithms to make MLM1 Net available for additional devices.

MLM1 Outdoor vs Indoor (Net)

On Outdoor Mode, MLM1 provides club type, distance (carry for irons and wedges, can select carry or total for woods), club speed, ball speed, smash factor, launch angle, launch direction.

On Net Mode, shot trace, auto club recognition, GPS shot map, competitions and games are disabled.

Can I use wiffle or foam practice golf balls with my MLM1?

No. In order for you to get accurate data, you will need to use a real golf ball. The MLM1 will not trigger properly if using a wiffle or foam practice ball.

Are there any conditions that can affect or interfere with the MLM1’s performance?

Yes, the MLM1 will only be able to provide data in well-lit environments.

High winds can affect the distances as we do not account for adverse conditions. Overheating can affect the MLM1 if your iPhone/iPad is placed in direct sunlight. If your iOS device starts to overheat, you will receive an alert informing you. Your MLM1 will still track data and record each shot for review in Sessions but instant video feedback during the session is disabled to help cooldown your device.

*Please note that if you have any credit cards or a magnetic case on your iPhone, it may cause interference with your iOS gyroscope. Please remove the case from your phone before starting your session.

How does the MLM1 get its data?

MLM1 analyzes the initial flight of the ball to calculate trajectory and distance by using radar/camera technology. Golf Laboratories has conducted product comparison testing. See how the MLM1 compares to Trackman and to Flightscope Mevo.

How do I align the MLM1 to capture my full swing and ball flight?

Place the MLM1 6-8ft behind you. When addressing the ball, look back at your iOS device to ensure you see your body in the “Player Area” and the ball in the “Ball Area”. The alignment line in between the two boxes and should be aimed parallel to your target line.

Does the quality of range ball affect my data?

The MLM1 is tracking the actual ball velocity, launch, and initial trajectory. This data will vary with the type and quality of the ball. Range balls are often harder than standard balls which would result in high velo and higher launch angles. But the resulting distance and trajectory will be accurate for a range ball.

The LED on my MLM1 goes from green to blue and back to green, why am I not getting any data?

If you are hitting shots and the LED on the MLM1 turns from green to blue and back to green but no data shows:

Ensure the MLM1 is aligned 6-8 feet behind the ball and aimed down the target line

Check to make sure your iOS device is sitting on the MLM1 slot with the screen facing you

Ensure you do not have a magnetic case on your iOS device

We normalize our data, what does that mean?

The MLM1 does not take wind, weather, slope, or elevation into consideration. It assumes you are using a premium ball at 70 degrees with no humidity and assumes you are at sea level.

How do I share my videos on social media/messaging my friends and family?

1. Open the MLM1 app and click the ‘Home’ tab

2. Tap on the session you wish to go back to

3. Search for the shot you wish to share. The list is sorted by the sequence you practiced. You can easily sort it by club type, distance, etc., just tap on the column description or club.

4. Once you found the shot you wish to share, slide from right to left on the favored shot and tap on the camera icon. It will open and play the video recording of that shot.

5. Once the video is played back a share icon will appear on the bottom right (U with an arrow up) the export process will take a few seconds.

6. This will open a menu which allows you to save the video on your phone in Photos or you can share it with your friends via message or other social media platforms.

Is the MLM1 compatible with Android devices?

The MLM1 is only compatible with iOS Devices that meet our minimum requirements.

What do the ‘Public’ and ‘Private’ options in settings mean?

The Public setting will qualify you for having your video appear on the Explore page of the application. The Private setting will not qualify you to show up on the Explore page.

Why does the MLM1 app ask for my location?

You are able to drop a pin within the driving range that you are hitting at. Then you are able to look back on the shots and see exactly where they were on the range from a birds eye view map.

Is there any way to export the data from the MLM1?

No, the only export feature is with the video with overlay which can be saved to your iPhone/iPad and shared to Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or other social media platforms.

How do I update my firmware?

• Check out this video

• Plug your MLM1 into a power source

• Open the MLM1 app

• Tap Profile

• Tap box right above my bag Rapsodo Mobile launch Monitor (red dot) Not Connected

• Select your MLM1 device

• A green dot will appear saying “connected”

• Tap the box again to pull up your MLM1 device information

• Tap update firmware version

• Firmware upgrade will start updating.

• A blinking white LED light will appear on your MLM1 – notifying you Firmware is upgrading. The entire Firmware update will be under 5 minutes. Please leave the MLM1 app open when your firmware is updating.

How do I use the Auto-Club Recognition Feature?

Check out this video.

Please remember that the auto club recognition feature only works outdoor for now, it does not work indoors. It might work better on irons, but on drivers and woods the numbers are more to the corners of the clubs, so please try not to show the club to the camera too close, it needs to focus on the numbers on the club.

Please make sure;

You have good lighting on the camera, not too bright and not too dark.

You fit the club head in the frame.

You keep the club head vertical.

Why isn't the Auto-Club Recognition feature enabled on net mode?

Auto club recognition is disabled on net mode due to the lighting. As people are hitting at home or at their garage, the lighting is not sufficient for the phone’s camera to read the tiny details on the clubs and recognize them.

Are distances reported in carry or total?

Distances are reported in “Carry”, however you have the option to select “Total” distance for drivers and woods. Here is how to change the driver and wood distance:

Open MLM1 app > Profile > App Settings > Driver wood settings (Carry/Total)

***This is the same on Outdoor and Indoor modes.

Setup

How do I setup the Mobile Launch Monitor?

To set up the MLM1;
You should make sure that you have fully charged the unit before using it. The light should be amber when charging, it should turn off completely when fully charged.

2. Hitting environment is well lit

3. There are no obstructions between the MLM1 and ball.

General

What can I do without a membership?

Practice mode is free with your registered device and shows your shot data, such as carry distance and ball speed, for every shot. A Core or Studios membership unlocks Driving Range, Target Range, Courses, Bag Mapping, Wedge Matrix and partner apps, along with the other features that show a lock in the app. Spin Rate, Spin Axis, Attack Angle and Club Path also need a membership.

What's the difference between Core and Rapsodo Studios?

Core and Studios are tiered memberships. 

  • Core ($199.99 per year): family member profiles for up to two golfers, every golf metric (including spin and club data), eight advanced practice experiences, three levels of video feedback and access to 30,000+ simulated courses across the mobile and PC apps, plus extended-screen play on PC. 
  • Rapsodo Studios ($399.99 per year): everything in Core, plus family member profiles for up to four golfers, the premium Rapsodo Studios 4K Course Library and On-Course Practice on a compatible PC.
What is Rapsodo Studios?

Rapsodo Studios is a membership tier, available exclusively in the Rapsodo Golf for PC app. It adds the premium Rapsodo Studios 4K Course Library: precision-scanned courses with real course data, authentic branding and properly licensed course content. There are 25 courses at launch, with new courses added on a rolling basis. Online multiplayer and creator-built courses are on the roadmap. The 4K courses aren't available in the mobile app.

How long is the free trial?

The free trial is 21 days.

How do I start the free trial that came with my device?
  1. Connect your device and register it to your account. 
  2. Go to Settings → Player Settings → Device Registration → MANAGE. If your 
    device includes a trial, you'll see a "Start your free trial" card with the trial length. 
  3. Tap START TRIAL. Your account opens on the web, already signed in. Finish there. 
  4. Return to the app. Your membership is checked again automatically. The trial belongs to the device, not to your account. If you don't see the trial card, check that the device is registered to the account you're signed in with, that you don't already have an active membership, and that the trial for this device hasn't been used before (this can happen with a pre-owned or refurbished unit). If it still doesn't appear, contact support@rapsodo.com with your device serial number and purchase information.
When does my free trial start? Can I pause it?

The trial starts when you choose a plan and complete checkout on the web, not when you first use the device. It can't be paused. You can cancel before it ends.

Will I be charged automatically after the free trial ends?

Yes. Unless you cancel before the free trial ends, your subscription renews automatically and is charged to the card you registered when setting up your free trial.

How do I buy, upgrade, change or cancel my membership?

Memberships are managed on the web, not inside the app. Tap Settings → Player Settings → Manage Account & Membership to open your account on the web, already signed in. This needs an internet connection. For billing questions, contact Rapsodo Support.

Can I pay for my membership monthly?

No. Memberships are billed yearly; there's no monthly payment option.

I paid or started my trial, but the app still shows everything locked. What should I do?
  • Make sure the app is signed in with the same email you used on the web. 
  • Return to the app, or open Settings. The app checks your membership each time you come back to it and each time you open Settings. 
  • In Settings → Player Settings, the Account box shows your plan. "-" means no active plan was found yet. 
  • Don't purchase again. If your plan still doesn't appear after you reopen the app, contact us from Settings → App Settings → Contact Support and choose the Subscription category.
