Square Golf: 64/100 from 234 owners
I've had one for a month now. Its been fantastic. The square app is pretty bare bones but very accurate. I used awesome golf and it was a bit generous on offline numbers. I use the square app for range and awesome golf for rounds with friends. Battery life is great, on unit…

skytrak+ was my first unit. Hated it. lol. 3 years ago it was a decent unit but I’d never recommend it now. Connection weirdness, subscription fees the red dot thing, misreads AND no reads, short game was bad. Next unit was the mlm2pro which gets a lot of hate but it was miles…

I wouldn't recommend this device to anyone using it indoors......doesnt properly read the ball at all.....7 irons go 130 for me but 170 on my 800 dollar square.....works great outside but indoors its just a 4000 dollar piece of garbage

Rapsodo MLM2XPRO: 62/100 from 15 owners
Yeah, I can’t tell you how many people I’ve talked to over the years that wish this unit originally had putting. Based on initial testing, putting is solid too.

Glad I got a ProTee rather than wait for this. Literally zero reason to upgrade from the first MLM2Pro for this. Putting looks iffy at best.

PRGR Pocket Launch Monitor: 61/100 from 122 owners
I bough a prgr 3 years ago and I just learned that my set PRGR set up was wrong. However, everything else I've just seen has convinced me that the money I spent has been well spent. All the other data you get from the track man is useless UNLESS you're a club fitter. You can…

I have the SC4…bummed we got left out in the cold, but it’s still a great device for what it does. I’ve found it very accurate…I had a FS Mevo+ and overall I loved it. I am often comparing products (clubs, balls, shafts, etc…) and it was great. But, once I moved I didn’t have…

I had one of these for several years. I used it for speed training. I found it to be unreliable in that there were numerous misreads. Finally, I had so much trouble trying to get a reading, I just gave up on it. I bought the Shotscope LM1, which sells for the same price as the…
