TOP 10 Features I would like to see come to the Rapsodo MLM2PRO - As voted on by the people.

[@trevormorton8415]

Love your content Joe. Used mine for the first time in a while over at a buddies house. He couldn't believe how accurately it picks up shots..... our thins, shanks, tops were picked up exactly lol.

[@JLagGOLF]

Thanks mate! Hahahaha 🤣 that's great. I hope he had a decent net or screen to capture all the balls lol I've had a few ricochet back at me 😂

[@trevormorton8415]

@JLagGOLF We're usually pretty safe until the beer comes out 🍻. A topped driver will remind you how fast you can still move lol ! Thanks again for your content. Love from Nova Scotia!

[@williamfleming2662]

Well said Joe, let’s keep our fingers crossed they take note of these needed features.

[@JLagGOLF]

Thanks mate! Fingers crossed for some announcements at the PGA show!

[@D.WhiteJr]

I want to be able to look back on a range mode swing and have a video of the ball flight

[@JLagGOLF]

As in the shot tracer indoors? Yeah that would be cool I could see the value they could just have one based off the data

[@rayhodel8069]

My top requests are better physics and club data, I'll keep my fingers crossed. I've been wondering about these features, so your video was perfectly timed for me.

[@JLagGOLF]

Fingers crossed! Bring on club data at the PGA show... I think that might be it. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@URAZKIVANER]

Spot on with all the requests 🙏🙏. I wanna suggest something to Rapsodo . Since they have a second swing cam option using your mobile device's camera it can calculate the putting just like GC Quad or GC3 does using that camera as long as you face that camera just like those expensive devices . Then this device would be unbeatable price to value ratio ....

[@JLagGOLF]

Not a bad idea! Like the webcam putting but using your phone as the device. I feel like that would take a long time to get the software working but an additional add on camera from them would be good.

[@glennmcilvenna3142]

thats a great video and a great list for rapsodo consideration..my no reads are already very rare apart from some chip shots but theres always room for improvement..in terms of the physics id say bravo to what you have said and would add possibly the ability to control green firmness and or stimp..i would ask that they bring back the option that previously existed in an early build release that showed the shot tracer over swing vision video replay as well as the live practice mode, this allowed you to see your physical body swing along with the shot tracer of the ball reaction to that swing which i enjoyed while it previously was a feature of the device, having this back on a on off function would be nice..also would like to see an update that fixes a shortall or discrepancy between E6 shot distances and the rapsodo software which should be the same without fiddling with E6 alltitude.. cant think of much else you havent covered joe.. great video thanks for continuing to promote our community and its improvements.

[@glennmcilvenna3142]

oh yes the one extra feature i had dream't up was the ability to use the 3rd or extra camera but with the radar tracer overlay on it to create that PGA TOUR broadcast feel to your on course video capture..as currently the down the line rapsodo video lacks the perfect angle due to the height o the device of the ground..this is in my mind doable but probably at the back of the list for most users

[@JLagGOLF]

Thanks mate! I love the idea of being able to control the green firmness. I think that's really good and should be easy to do! Yes I remember that shot tracer indoor bug that happened and it was actually pretty cool!! I don't know how accurate it was though. It would be good if you just had the option to toggle it on or off.

[@barrycole5930]

Surprised there wasnt something related to being able to group club data on the range etc based on only carry distances. The total distance includes some bad assumptions of rollout (better physics may help this) and so we should have the option of carry being the primary metric. Or am i missing a setting somewhere on mine?

[@DerekBraid]

Good list! #1 needed so badly (better on course physics)! I don't want to buy GSPro right now, can make it through this winter with Rapsodo Courses happily if they improve on course physics. Next winter maybe make the plunge on gaming PC / GSPro. Thanks for the great MLM2Pro videos Joe.

[@sgodlike7911]

Exactly! I chose the MLM2 over a new set of irons and a gaming PC this year. E6 is kind of fun but man does it miss my long irons and woods. Plus, waaaay too much roll-back on the greens on approaches. The exact opposite of the Rap. I don't really care about elevation or graphic details on the Rap course but, for God's sake, let me "Sit" a wedge.

[@DerekBraid]

@@sgodlike7911completely agree. I can deal with original Nintendo graphics if the gameplay is realistic! FWIW, I believe Rapsodo can and will fix this soon. It's a relatively a software update, and they should be able to make it incrementally better over time. Been some time since the last release, so expecting big things in Feb/March software-update wise (I think course physics and online multiplayer is coming...)

[@JLagGOLF]

Thanks Derek! Yes definitely best to wait and then do it properly... Expensive gaming PC or laptop with a decent graphics card! The 5 free e6 courses you get with iOS will tie you over as well.. also Awesome Golf! Can't recommend it enough and it has a subscription model now. Once you get GS Pro though you will be like oh man!! why didn't I get this years ago 🤣🤣

[@jamess9728]

With the old Skytrak selling price comparable to MLM pro now, is the old Skytrak the better choice especially if playing Sim courses is more important than game improvement?

[@JLagGOLF]

That's a really good question! I know skytrak has its own issue with drivers and ball speeds. There is always going to be pros and cons... Some of the cons for skytrak are you need to hit from the little red dot which your mat will wear out very quick hitting from the exact same location. You get the delay between the shot and the actual ball flight.. honestly there are pros and cons for both the best thing to do would be to write a list down and see what really suits you the best. If I could give any advice if you are going to get a skytrak then buy a Foresight GC2!! They are amazing 😍 and no subscription fees

[@richardmontgomery3017]

Hey Joe. Can you do a new video reviewing the app and firmware update? It seems like all of the no read and connection issues are back in awesome golf and e6

[@JLagGOLF]

I'll definitely be doing this when Im back home. Currently away for work and it's killing me 😂

[@cantaffordfestool8113]

Hey Joe, I want to pull the trigger on the MLM2Pro especially when they are offering a dozen RPT balls for free. But looking at their website, there is no number for customer support for their golf products (they have a number for their baseball and softball products but even then, no one answers). And it seems you can only email for support. I’m a little wary about companies that hides behind email and is afraid to talk to customers over the phone. By chance do you have a phone number for them?

[@JLagGOLF]

Hey mate sorry no I don't have a phone number for them. Justin Bryant is very active in the social media pages on Facebook. It would be worth sending him a message or touching base with him. Rapsodo for me has been great to deal with. They are open and transparent and really want to make this unit better. It had a bloody shaky start that's for sure but they admitted that and have worked to really refine and improve the product.

[@bumshakemusic]

Hello Joe, first of all thanks for your videos. Do you know if they are planning on add multiplayer simulation through the Rapsodo App?

[@JLagGOLF]

Hey mate so they have already added multiplayer for local matches so you can have friends over and play in your room with you. I haven't heard anything about online multiplayer though.. I doubt we will see that.

[@bumshakemusic]

Thank you so much! Local multiplayer is what i meant, i think im buying this week! @@JLagGOLF

[@arnoldspieker3700]

Adding both impact vision and device vision (camera view from phone or tablet) in in addition to swing vision to one screen, with video speed control on all would be great. Additionally, having a method to replay shot trajectory in R cloud would also be nice.

[@JLagGOLF]

Yes very true I didn't even really consider any R could updates! Good point.

[@arnoldspieker3700]

To all, Rapsodo's latest update provides swing speed without a ball. Tried it yesterday and it works great.

[@safranic]

What would be really nice as if somebody would figure out a paint that we could apply to the golf ball that would be fairly durable like an actual ball coating.

[@JLagGOLF]

Yes... Or screen print the golf balls themselves. Interesting and I'm sure it will just take the right person to do it with the right connections or knowledge.

[@safranic]

My Brother Suggest Cerakote But that’s not really durable to impact, And I guess RIT Has a dye that will permeate urethane But we would have to figure out How to just dye on the dots as opposed to the whole ball. I know skateboarders use it for their wheels and it’s very good,

[@Centrelink_Bogan]

Why didn't we touch on the pricing on the RPT balls?

[@JLagGOLF]

That's a really good point! In Australia it's absurd..

[@Centrelink_Bogan]

@@JLagGOLF absolutely! Bought a dozen pack and almost fell out of my chair

[@JLagGOLF]

@@Centrelink_Bogan 🤣🤣 Yeah I saw the price and went no thanks lol. For me as well the biggest reason I love the ball dots is so I can use my Pro v1.. I'd personally still do that even if the RPT balls were the same price as normal Chromesofts but I definitely agree for people who use Chromesofts or if you have back issues or just can't be bothered lining up the dots they shouldn't be twice the price as the standard ball!!!!

[@skizzot91r]

I haven’t bought it yet (plan to soon) but for sim golf I understand there’s no online mode? It’d be cool (like the R10) to play weekly tourneys, online with other players etc … if I’m wrong and it already has that forgive me

[@JLagGOLF]

Yes you are right there isn't a weekly tournament like the R10 and that is pretty cool and gives you something to play in. Once you get it and start using it there are other software options available that of course come at a cost that have online play and tournaments. My personal favourite is GS Pro. Once you see the online community and tournaments you will be blown away! It isn't officially supported by Rapsodo but you can get it working relatively easily. Another option that is supported is e6.

[@sRd-1]

Club data will be announced at pga show.

[@JLagGOLF]

I have fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@safranic]

What data do you believe will be announced?

[@nickwoolf3843]

This would be ideal but what are our chances?

[@sRd-1]

⁠​⁠@@nickwoolf3843I inquired about club data, specifically the timing, and was told “more information will be made available at the end of this month”. So I expect we’ll see an announcement on that then. If they were not planning to announce that response would seem very odd to me.

[@sRd-1]

@@safranicI only asked about club data.

[@safranic]

As of day 1 of the PGA Show: Looks like no club data, ball physics for simulation, or GS Pro. We got Titleists RPT balls(February), R-speed(swing speed only mode), ball data after every shot in sim mode, and fix for driving range so the ball won’t roll forever. Not sure how much else we’ll see.

[@JLagGOLF]

Ok that's 3 of the 10... I would love to see club data as it was originally advertised as the metrics you would get. I don't see it coming now.. I don't think they would do multiple firmware updates In a few days.

[@tnaft9648]

Agree with the no reads. It makes no sense how many no reads I get within a session on E6. I will go 18 holes and I get 1-2 no reads, then the next 18 holes on the same connection session, I'll get like one or more a hole. Same set up everytime, seems to be pretty inconsistent from session to session as well.

[@JLagGOLF]

Yeah I find this as well.. and in not using it every single day like a lot of people so others are going to have a lot better of a feel for that sort of stuff.

[@bobeisele9330]

Really curious what they announce at PGA show.

[@JLagGOLF]

Same here! It better be something good and not just a tease 🤣

[@jrmichel1975]

If I had one, I would go to the Rapsodo customer support form and paste the link to this video in the description section. 🙂

[@JLagGOLF]

I hope they see it 🤞🤞

[@22burst2020ddsspec]

Mine just wont give me proper carry distance on driver and irons, but 3w will go 200m. Super annoying and disappointing

[@JLagGOLF]

Ok that is odd I haven't experienced that yet. Have you taken the unit outside and checked the ball speeds and carry distances? Also check your unit is sitting at the correct height with your hitting mat and the distance ball to net. If you have don't all of that I highly recommend opening a ticket with the Rapsodo team and hopefully they will have some guidance for you.

[@22burst2020ddsspec]

Hi Joe thanks for the reply. To be honest I thought the 3w distance was arbitrary to the rest of my results but in actuality I think I forgot I can carry my 3w 220 and its just short among everything else@@JLagGOLF . I haven't taken it outside to test on the range or in other settings yet but I'll get back to you after I do

[@garrysutcliffe6254]

Allegedly some new features getting mentioned at the pga show next week! Hopefully more club data

[@JLagGOLF]

Yes! I have fingers crossed 🤞 surely it has to be club data... They originally had it planned for release with this unit.

[@garrysutcliffe6254]

Im sure club data will be behind another paywall though

[@JLagGOLF]

😕😕 Ohhhh if they did that there would be a mutiny 🤣 I can't see them doing that tbh.

[@WhoDeyFan123]

I just want it to work without crashing or lagging. It would also be nice if they would just make the range flat for God’s sake. If I hit the ball left, I have to wait a minute for the ball to stop slowly rolling. I’m about to give up on Rapsodo

[@glennmcilvenna3142]

have you done any of the software and app updates?.. for me most of these issues have been irradicated

[@WhoDeyFan123]

@@glennmcilvenna3142 yes and it’s worse now than ever

[@graememorissey3276]

Man, the number of times I've hit it left on the range and watched my ball roll for 2-3 minutes before I can re-hit.

[@WhoDeyFan123]

@@graememorissey3276 yeah as soon as I hit it and know I yanked I just go take a seat. I’ve been an unpaid spokesman for the mlm2pro since it came out but not anymore. My whole device just shut down twice yesterday. I even went out and bought a new iPad thinking maybe that was the issue and the iPad I replaced was only a year old. I wanted a new iPad anyway that was just an excuse to get one.

[@JLagGOLF]

Hey mate is it the app that is crashing and lagging? If so try deleting the app and re-installing it. That's odd about the crashes. Yes I have heard about the range that slopes.... I guess they don't want you to lose your RPT balls 🤣 but seriously I haven't experienced it yet I can imagine it's super frustrating.

[@matthewcrowley2536]

I’m surprised that getting rid of the stupid Callaway RPT balls isn’t number one. The ball matters and resorting to drawing on or using the stickers for the the RPT pattern is dumb IMO. Find a way to integrate RCT balls. They are proven to be effective with other units.

[@oldandstiff]

That's not really feasible, or an improvement. The reason this unit is more accurate than similar radar ones using RCT is because of the dot patterns on these. Offering other model RPT pattern balls would be an improvement.

[@JLagGOLF]

Hey Matt yes unfortunately RCT balls give really accurate back spin numbers for radar units but they do not in any way help with spin axis which is what gives you shot shape. I think it would be nice as oldandstiff said if they allowed other manufacturers to make balls for them.. the dots on the ball are essential to get that correct spin axis so shot shape as the unit actually uses the impact vision camera to calculate it using the dots.

[@garrysutcliffe6254]

I'm sure they could do this , as skytrak can calculate spin with no markings. Also I've noticed spin gets picked up on certain range balls (probably not overly accurate) but I know when I've hit a low spinning driver and spin looks low compared to my normal ballooning high spin drives
