Rapsodo MLM 2 PRO 3 Hole Demo at Payne's Valley

In this video, we will do a short demo of the Rapsodo MLM 2 PRO launch monitor and its simulation software on the Payne's Valley Golf Course.

[@richarddamp9141]

Was thinking about getting the mlm pro. After your demo, I think I will now.

[@homelaunchgolf]

Hi Richard, Thank you for watching. I'm confident you won't be disappointed with this launch monitor. In my experience, when paired with RPT balls, it delivers exceptional accuracy, rivaling even those units that cost five or six times more.

[@ConnorThompson4]

great demo.. thank you

[@homelaunchgolf]

Hi, thanks for watching.

[@matthewwhite2955]

Great demo. Love the Founders bag btw. Fellow user here as well

[@homelaunchgolf]

Thanks. I have been using the bag for a little over a year now and really like it. Just love the club slots and all the storage space.

[@matthewwhite2955]

@homelaunchgolf completely agree. My only regret is not getting a stand bag. It's so heavy and have to lay it down for chipping practice

[@homelaunchgolf]

Yeah, I fiddled with it for a while, trying to balance it on the grass near the practice green. Unfortunately, it crashes over after about 3 minutes. So I've given up and just lay it down now too.

[@matthewwhite2955]

@@homelaunchgolf exact same. They have a stand bag that I have considered switching to

[@Powner187]

Good job. Question how fast can you get the simulator to calculate your shot and show the ball flight? I have seen some that are pretty instaneous with other brands but not at this price point.

[@homelaunchgolf]

Hi, thanks for watching.. I would say the delay is about 2-3 seconds before the ball flight starts after the contact.

[@Thisworldisfucked1984]

The mlmpro is actually surprising fast especially for being ran off a tablet. Just as fast if not faster than the major expensive brands.

[@671james]

Do you have to always set your target before every shot or can you just hit away and the simulator will pick it up?

[@user-gu2lw6xi7q]

I would assume not or it wouldnt be just tracking your shot but i wonder the same thing.

[@homelaunchgolf]

Yeah, you can just hit away and it should auto align you pretty well. With the ball physics I would recommend aiming short of your target on the green though, since the ball seems to bounce forward 7-10 yards from where it lands.

i am having trouble connecting my MLM2Pro to my projector. i do not have wifi in the garage as it is not attached and far away... any tips?

[@homelaunchgolf]

Is your device Android or Apple? Are you trying to wirelessly cast directly to the projector or going through a device like Roku or Apple TV? Wired Connection Option For a reliable and straightforward setup, a wired connection using an HDMI cable is recommended. Connect a long HDMI cable from the projector to a wall-mounted HDMI port near your mobile device. Then, use an adapter and a short HDMI cable to connect your mobile device to the wall-mounted HDMI port when needed. For longer HDMI runs you might want to use a fiber HDMI cable though. I use two 32' Fiber HDMIs to run from my projector to ports on my office and then I just switch between the device I need at that end. These are the ones I used - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09BBYS798/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Wireless Connection Option 1: Mobile Hotspot - Utilize the hotspot feature on a cell phone to establish a Wi-Fi connection between your mobile device and the projector. Option 2: Wi-Fi Router - Use an old or inexpensive Wi-Fi router without internet access to connect your mobile device and projector via Wi-Fi. Once connected, use Airplay for Apple devices or Cast for Android devices to mirror your device's screen onto the projector.

Have you heard any update about them adding elevation to their courses?

[@homelaunchgolf]

I haven't heard anything about that kind of change, but I just installed the most recent app update 2.4.4. It mentions that the Rapsodo courses have been updated to fix tree placement/layouts, improve gameplay stability, and provide a better overall experience. Loading back into Paynes Valley and everything still looks pretty flat. I do hope they can bring that kind of update in the future and give a more realistic experience.

[@jonwidby7061]

Is the spin issue on the green minimized by using those balls with dots?

[@homelaunchgolf]

RPT balls help you get more accurate spin numbers overall and provide side spin for shot shape movement. However, several updates since this video have improved the ball physics in the software. Now, the ball will stop or even back up regardless of the ball used.

[@MattYockey189]

I am using an HDMI to a lightning cable to my phone but when I plug it up to my phone should it immediately come up on the screen cause nothing happens.

[@homelaunchgolf]

It should be plug and play, but I think there have been several issues with the lightning adapters in IOS versions 16 and 17. You might take a look at this and see if it recommends anything you haven't tried already. itoolab.com/fix/hdmi-failure/

[@mattvukovic2938]

Which ipad do ypu have for this? I was trying to decide a high end ipad or low end ipad pro.

[@homelaunchgolf]

Hi, thanks for watching. I use just a regular version 9th gen iPad.

[@wickedthealmostuseful8866]

Can you do this with a net? Or do you have to have an impact screen?

[@homelaunchgolf]

Yeah, you should be able to use the same setup with a net. You can even throw a bed sheet or canvas drop cloth in front of the net if you still want to use a projector.

[@oahujuniorgolfassociationc6656]

I think I would have been to the course and back before the first shot.

[@homelaunchgolf]

lol. Yeah, in future I will try to get into the demo a little quicker. I think this one was a little delayed because of the tech gremlins in the beginning.

[@greatscott88mph]

Can you view in landscape mode?

[@homelaunchgolf]

It's unfortunate that Rapsodo Courses doesn't support landscape mode yet, especially since Rapsodo Range does. Hopefully a future update will include this feature.

[@unclejohn37]

what projector do you use?

[@homelaunchgolf]

Hi, thanks for watching.. It is the Optoma gt1080 hdr. www.projectorcentral.com/Optoma-GT1080HDRx.htm

[@tjrose6845]

@@homelaunchgolfI just got this how far do you have it from the screen? Can you zoom in or out to make it fit the screen I can’t figure it out I got it used

[@homelaunchgolf]

I have mine mounted about 7'3" from the impact screen. My impact screen is 16x9 format and 13' wide 7.7' tall. The projector does have a digital zoom setting in the menu. Have you used the projector central calculator to estimate your mounting depth?

[@sunnyday9593]

How do you connect the device to your projector

[@homelaunchgolf]

I airplay from my iPad through to a Roku ultra device that's connected by HDMI.

[@jonettajonah3969]

@@homelaunchgolf can you explain this please?

[@homelaunchgolf]

Hi, thanks for watching. My current equipment is an Optoma gt1080 HDR with a Roku Ultra device connected by a long HDMI cable. I use an iPad 9th Gen to run the MLM2PRO app. All three devices (iPad, Roku, and MLM2PRO) are connected to the same home Wi-Fi network. This allows the iPad to maintain a connection to the MLM2PRO app while also AirPlaying to the Roku device, which displays on my projector.

[@evandh1989]

For as much as the premium membership costs (and that you need it to get even basic functions like peak height data and replays…smh), I’d expect a much better simulation than that.

[@homelaunchgolf]

Totally agree, the initial launch was pretty bare-bones! But things are looking up as we approach the first anniversary in a few months. Connection and device issues that plagued the early days have seen major improvements thanks to post-launch updates. The latest one not only gave the range a visual overhaul but also helped with course elevation and other graphic enhancements. Now with bugs hopefully worked out the future updates will bring better graphics and new features.

[@DoctorMTG]

I agree. I have the MLM Pro and it's adequate but the graphics are very basic. I love the driving range and links to third party software.

[@bobbymonaco79]

The graphics are awful. I don’t understand why.

[@homelaunchgolf]

The graphics could be better, but it makes sense for a mobile app. I'm excited that the developers are working on improvements, and the new range looks a lot better than what they launched with! Maybe some of the courses will look just as good someday.

[@user-gr6og9dj7l]

Subscription launch monitors = no thanks.

[@homelaunchgolf]

Yeah, subscriptions are a terrible way to go, but unfortunately, I think that's the road we're headed down now with most of the new upcoming launch monitors.

[@micahm7837]

I have a bunch of questions, I sent you a pm on IG. Is there a better way to reach you?
