Better for MLM2XPRO
- Recreational Player
Rapsodo's course library, putting in sim play, and the same behind-the-ball setup for everyone. Core at $199.99 a year is what turns it from a range tool into a simulator, so budget for it.
- Cost-Effective Buyer
$899.99 for measured launch, club path and attack angle, plus measured spin with RPT balls. The MLM2PRO does most of the same for less while it is still sold, and both need Core for course play — the case for this one is the newer app and putting.
- Family Setup
It sits behind the ball, so left- and right-handed players share it without moving anything; handedness is a setting in the app. Rapsodo says Core adds a second golfer profile and Studios three more.
