What it measures

According to reviewers

  • Spin rate (Premium plan and Titleist RCT ball only)

What it works out

According to reviewers

  • Carry distance
  • Total distance
  • Trajectory
NOTE

Rapsodo says the MLM1 reads the start of the ball flight and calculates trajectory and distance from it. It assumes a premium ball, 70 F and sea level. Rapsodo says spin is measured only with a Premium plan and a Titleist RCT ball. It does not label the other values.
