Our view
The Rapsodo MLM2PRO is the most data-rich launch monitor available under £700, and it earns that position through a combination of camera and radar technology that pure radar devices cannot match for accuracy.
The dual camera and radar setup means the MLM2PRO directly measures metrics that other devices at this price point estimate. Spin rate, spin axis, angle of attack, and club path are all directly measured rather than calculated from other data. For golfers who want to understand their ball flight in detail and work on specific technical improvements, that accuracy difference is meaningful.
There are two caveats that need to be understood before buying. First, the spin rate and spin axis measurements only work with Rapsodo RPT balls — Titleist or Callaway versions with a specific print pattern that the camera reads at 240fps. Three balls are included, but ongoing use of the spin metrics requires buying more RPT balls. With standard balls, spin is not measured. Second, the Premium membership is required for most of the headline features including course play, spin metrics, club path, and angle of attack. At £165.99 per year after the included 45-day trial, this is a meaningful ongoing cost.
With those caveats understood, the MLM2PRO is a genuinely strong product. The Impact Vision footage at 240fps gives immediate visual feedback that changes how you practise — seeing your contact point and club path visually is more informative than numbers alone. The 30,000+ course library covers far more venues than most competitors. GSPro compatibility is the strongest third-party simulator integration available.
The honest comparison: for golfers who will use the spin metrics, impact vision, and course play regularly and are happy to budget for RPT balls and Premium membership, the MLM2PRO delivers more than any competitor at this price. For golfers who primarily want carry distances and basic ball data, the Shot Scope LM1 at £199 delivers those accurately for £450 less.

Who is this for?
| Handicap 0–12 | Low handicap | Ideal |
| Handicap 13–20 | Mid handicap | Ideal |
| Handicap 21–28 | High handicap | Good |
| Handicap 28+ | Beginner | Marginal |
The MLM2PRO suits golfers who want detailed technical data to work on specific aspects of their game — spin rates, attack angles, club path — and who will use the impact vision footage as part of their practice routine. It rewards golfers who practice with purpose rather than those who just want carry distances. Low and mid handicap players who are actively working on ball flight shape and consistency will get the most from it. Beginners will find the data volume overwhelming and the RPT ball requirement adds complexity that is not worth it at that stage.

TOTAL COST NOTE
The MLM2PRO costs £649.99. Premium membership is required for course play, spin metrics, impact vision, club path, and angle of attack data — the features that justify the price. After the included 45-day trial, membership costs £165.99 per year. Spin rate and spin axis measurements also require Rapsodo RPT balls — 3 are included, but factor in ongoing ball costs for regular spin data use.
