The Rapsodo MLM2PRO has received an update that will take your golf practice to a whole new level, and I believe will ACTUALLY help you become a better golfer. Let's explore: The Rapsodo TARGET RANGE!
ABOUT ME I’m Andrew Jensen, a former full time touring professional that played on PGA TOUR Canada, Latinoamerica and almost every North American based mini tour since 2008. I want to use my playing experience to inspire golfers to improve their own game and have more fun with this amazing game we play!
so rapso is rolling out an update to
this the mlm2 pro an update that I fully
believe will make you a better golfer
and it's an update that just adds to the
list of reasons why this launch monitor
packs so much value and so much power
for only 700 bucks so just a little bit
of context to the updates that Roto has
been making in 2024 back in January they
did a drastic overall to the app where
they the graphics went from like 8 bit
to like pretty solid but for me
personally it was the range the range
went from this kind of like nondescript
Blue Sky some numbers to a really nice
looking Skyline better graphics better
ball tracing and the numbers are
improving then about a month later they
updated something with the physics where
the ball release is just better it's
more accurate to what a golf ball would
do on the golf course they've always
struggled since its Inception basically
every shot was releasing 8 to 10 yards
whether it was a D or whether it was a
wedge the algorithm the physics just
wasn't finely tuned enough but now it is
it's really elevated the numbers the
data but then that simulation experience
is so much better because the golf ball
is reacting to the turf more
appropriately so you pair better
graphics a better range with better
Landing characteristics and that's kind
of what you've got with the target range
this target range update is phenomenal
I'm only using the beta version of it
and I'm I'm Blown Away with just how
good it is and what they're doing with
this beta testing is they're obviously
going to get all the feedback from all
the beta testers to further refine it
and improve it so maybe when you're
watching this video the public version
is released and it's even better than
what I'm using but this target range
giving you Fairways giving you 72 greens
yardages to refine your practice with is
absolutely incredible and it's such a
step up when it comes to using a launch
monitor to get better at this game and
to have efficient purposeful practice so
when I first opened this I was blown
away I was transported magically to a
golf course just north of Toronto called
cinwood copin Wood's one of the best
practice facilities I've ever set foot
on it had three holes it had a short
hole with four different greens and then
all these tea boxes and all kinds of
greens and Fairways and and it was just
it's a phenomenal place and this is what
this feels like to me you have all kinds
of targets you have Fairways you have
greens you have water you have Island
greens you just have so many different
permutations of golf shots you'll hit at
on a golf course but then when you begin
to kind of change the tea box to go from
the left Center or right you see those
24 yardages they change so you have 72
yardages that all have a Target that
you're trying to hit it's not just
you've Zapped and you're hitting the 12
25 flag or the 125 sign or the 150 sign
like you have kind of obscure numbers
you don't just have quote unquote normal
stock numbers you have shots that you're
going to get out on the golf course and
you're going to get feedback because if
you miss the target you're in the bunker
you're in the water and you're going to
learn from that so it's just it's it's
really really special it's really unique
we're going to go here we're going to go
this in the right box 134 little island
green that's kind of like a 3/4 pitching
wedge for me so it's a great little shot
for me to practice and get some feedback
and hopefully not hit in the water so
yeah 134 island green I've got a Target
I'm going to focus on but I also get
data from the shot and that's kind of a
a double dip of Effectiveness and
efficiency in your
practice chunk
AR but we got there little heavy some
made it there but I pay attention to my
carry you know 120 carry that's not
that's not what we want we don't want to
chunk and run when we're trying to hit
134 yard wed shot so let's let's execute
a little bit
better that was better maybe a little
bit to the right but it's just going to
give me the readings I need and I get to
watch the shot I get feedback I mean
it's just it's win-win win but if I look
at my carry
135 it's just better and that's what
you're doing with these targets we're
really trying to dial in the carry
yardage so now we've shifted it over to
the wedge targets there's 10 little
targets there 10 little wedge greens I'm
over on the left T box so I've got a
different look I'm at 113 yards so
that's kind of almost a tweener that
should be just a a solid 56 Dee but you
don't always want to hit your wedges
full bore solid full swing it's nice to
sometimes be able to dial back the wedge
up and hit something a little softer
control the flight control the spin so
this is a yardage where I could spend a
lot of time working with both of these
wedges the 52 for me is probably about a
125 shot so to try to hit this 113 I
really got to control
it see a little thin kind of slowing
things down I'm going to get that
feedback and it's a small Target so if
we're missing that Target you
know not bad but my carry was 110 so
that's that's actually pretty good
that's uh result was a little better
than what it felt like but then I can go
into the sand wedge and just see like
what's a what's a solid full Sand Wedge
for me right now it should be about 115
so maybe just a little less than
full little steep little heavy might be
a little short a little left I get the
numbers to tell me it but then I'm also
going to get the shot to tell me it yeah
a little short a little left I mean not
not far left but the yardage carry
110 small Target to hold that's for sure
but these small little wedge targets are
so freaking cool but I can't help but
think there's a way or that this target
range is even better out on a real range
because you can come out to a municipal
range that's flat and has very minimal
targets and no depth perception and you
can turn it into a world class practice
facility picking up right where we left
off on some wedge work I've just got
some flags and some random flat Turf
whereas now I've got targets I've got
feedback on kind of random obscure
yardages so we've got a 62 yard shot you
set your straight line Target so yes
I've got my straight line Target but now
I'm going to get feedback in in the
app probably a little long and a little
right a little long and a little right
but I'm focusing on my care yardage so
67 yards carried it a little bit too
long my target my alignment is wrong so
let's let's learn let's let's hone it
in better line maybe a hair too long
again but I'm getting that that good
feedback better line just way too long
hit a better shot
Andrew long but you see there's holes in
my game and and working indoors is one
thing but to be able to get outside hit
what we're doing and you know Club head
speed ball speed we're getting those
things but that's just a little spinny
not just not the best Drive learn from
it Slow Down Start the routine over
again pick your target get focused as
opposed to just scrape hit scrape hit
scrape
hit nope losing a little out to the
right and so if I were just hitting here
kind of in a Range setting on a launch
monitor I'd be getting these numbers and
it's like okay learn from the numbers
but now I'm actually learning from the
shot and where it's ending up and that's
uh that's really really cool and I can
definitely see you know I'm kind of
holding on cuz I'm wanting to hit this
Fairway so I'm learning from that like
free it up a little bit work on that
visualization and
really see if you can't you know execute
as if you were on the golf
course no I mean I'm hitting the Fairway
there but that was just a bad
shot in the
bunker okay one last one cuz yeah this
is really cool this is really really
cool at really elevating just a generic
driving range practice
session whoops can't end on that
po
right pulled it
a this Fairway is eluding
me there we go pumped it just pulled it
so going back to my earlier claim that
this update will make you a better
golfer I think you've seen it because
you've seen what I can do indoors with
it but you really saw how this can
change and Elevate outdoor practice
because not everyone has a simulator Bay
not everyone has the space to even set
up a net and hit with a launch monitor
not everyone has the weather where they
can just put a net in the backyard and
work with a launch monitor but if you're
a golfer that is considering purchasing
this or already has this you very likely
have access to a public range that
Municipal range is like right in my
backyard but it's a flat nondescript
range where it's difficult to dial in
targets and have efficient purposeful
practice but to go outside and turn a
flat range into a world class practice
facility is going to make your practice
better more focused and have more
purpose because I can't stress that
enough that is how you get better at
this game and and so many people want
launch monitors to kind of play
simulator Golf and they Overlook why
launch monitors first were created it
was to help the best players in the
world get better well now we have launch
moners that can help all golfers get
better at such an inviting price tag rap
SoDo well done well done on this uh this
is five star this target range setting
is so freaking good I'm excited to
continue to use it because you saw in
this there's holes in every player's
game and there's yardages that are holes
in my game that I can work on and work
on those carry numbers and and get the
feedback necessary to improve so I hope
you enjoyed this video I hope you
enjoyed this deep dive into target range
and we'll see you in the next one
