Any ideas on how to fix/improve your swing using Rapsodo? There's a lot of data and vids available but for beginners it's tough to know what you're doing wrong. Wondering if there there are any built in diagnostics or other options that anyone used successfully to improve their swing?
I have had my rapsodo mlm2pro for a month and so far so good. The first week or so I had trouble with it not tracking after 10ish shots but that seems to have gotten better. For the most part I use practice and range modes while hitting into a net. I was wondering if anyone had any tips/tricks/advice that have helped use the device. For example I saw someone wrote something about changing the elevation to help with yardage accuracy. TIA.
I was using my MLM 2 Pro today and in the middle of the session I got a notice there was a firmware update and to complete the update before I could finish my session. I came inside and plugged the unit it and started the update. The light stayed white as it should and eventually went to red like it said it would. I tried to reconnect to the MLM 2 Pro from my phone to make sure the update worked and I had the current firmware. Now I can't get it to connect to any device. I have unistalled and reinstalled the app. It act like it is communicating with my phone, for example the light will start read and the second I start the connection process it goes flashing blue and within a couple seconds I get the alert asking permision to join the wifi. Then it goes from connecting to finalzing connection and it sitts there until it says connection failed. I have also tried to direct via the network and not the direct wifi to between the device and phone/app. Curious if anyone else has had this issue today if you have downloaded the firmware update. I'll try to contact them tomorrow but have been dealing with their customer service for a couple month on a separate issue and they are horrible to work with. They either have only one person company wide who is in support or they have 10 million complaints and they can't keep up. The guy I am dealing with will email me and I will answer instantly and then it will be 7 days or more before he responds again, then another 7 days before I hear from him.
Support always says, the engineering team is working on the connection issues. It never gets fixed though! I can’t get through a single session without connection issues. I’ve done direct connection, local connection, BT extender, Android, Apple, and even GSPRO. Nothing ever works and support is no help.
Hey group...
I'm hoping someone can assist me as this unit is fantastic on my irons reading near perfect every swing. (About 20 yards short of real life but easily able to compensate for that mentally so to speak)
BUT
I use a driver or a hybrid and this thing is out to lunch.
It's not even remotely accurate.
Go to range. I will hit 230-250 carry with a driver. Not all the time as I'm "new" but enough to know that's quite accurate 60% of time.
My 3-4 hybrid 200-230 on a good strike regularly at range and at course.
When I use the Rapsodo mlm2pro however it's not even close.
Max driver I've hit is 150 yards......
Will then immiediatly grab a 7 iron to check and hit 170...
In terms of set up I am shooting into a net.
Ball is 10' on button from backdrop in net and rapsodo is exactly 7.5' from centre of ball with both tee , ball and alignment spot on.
Unit is reading exactly level and have tried on an extremely sunny day and an overcast day with same results....
What am I missing or do I return this?
I recently made a discovery for myself that may or may not apply to other folks with connection issues.
I was having trouble playing courses in my backyard; freezing up, dropping shots, shutting down, etc. it wasn’t until I realized it happened most around high WiFi usage times of the day.
What I did then was run a WiFi speed test in my house and at the area where I was hitting. My speed at my setup was 34mbps… which is a ridiculously low rate. Consider the fact that what we are doing when using the internet to access rapsodo courses is online gaming, my internet speed would always disappoint my goal.
I’m not an internet gamer, but I realized that I am now and it looks like golf. No one seems to talk about this fact, but like it or not we are online gamers. I searched what us recommended for online gaming WiFi speed and found 300-500mbps. I have an older router that was providing 200mbps. When I reviewed my internet plan, I’ve been paying for 1100mbps… perfect!
I then went down a rabbit hole to find what provides fast speeds over a larger area and got into the world of mesh routers. Ordered a 3 node setup, hooked it up to my old modem/router, spaced out the nodes and speed tested again at my practice space: now 500mbps.
I ended up playing 3 rounds of 18 that evening due to the pure joy of having undisrupted sessions. Connecting through WiFi was fast, holes loaded fast, courses loaded fast, it played like a direct connection.
I hope this can help someone.
It used to be possible to hit multiple clubs during the same practice range session; with just a few taps (I’m using the iOS app) you could switch from one club to another. This strikes me as pretty basic functionality. Now, with the app update, I can’t see how to do it anymore. I have to end one session and start a completely new one just to hit a different club. Am I just missing something obvious? Apologies in advance if this has been addressed before. I searched and didn’t see anything.
I’m about to purchase the MLM 2. I’m only interested in the range aspect and working on my swing in the garden. I would like to improve my shot shape so I’m more straight, especially with driver. Is it accurate enough to be able to work on this?
Does anybody know if there’s a plan to port over more stats like club path and AoA to GSPro? Kind of disappointing it hasn’t happened yet.
