I have been testing boot monitors for years. And while enterprise solutions are always accurate (think Foresight GC4 and Trackman), they’re not affordable for regular folks like you and me.
Do you have 20G lying around for a release monitor? Me neither.
For years, finding a unit that rivals the accuracy of the “big boys” without the same prohibitive price tag has seemed impossible. But over the last few years (really, just the last two), two options have emerged that stand out above all others.
Looking for an affordable and accurate launch monitor? In my mind, there are only two choices. Rapsodo MLM2PRO or New Approach Garmin R50.
Why MLM2PRO?
of MLM2PRO is definitely the best value in the boot monitor space. At less than $800, this camera-based unit has tested very well in all aspects, especially accuracy. Its accuracy rivals the more expensive options from Foresight/Bushnell when used with Titleist RPT golf balls.
And it’s portable. The Rapsodo MLM2PRO is small enough to fit in your golf bag for practice on the range or in the backyard. You won’t find a better device under $1000.
Why Garmin Approach R50?
Simply put, if you’re looking for the best of the best in the affordable launch monitor space, nothing beats it functionality of the Garmin Approach R50.
At $4,999, it costs 80 percent less than your typical GC4. It has a full-color touchscreen, all the software runs on the device itself, and with its triple-camera setup, it’s very accurate.
There is no device in the market now that does what the Approach R50 does.
Something for everyone
Are you a somewhat serious golfer looking to improve your game without breaking the bank? Try Rapsodo MLM2PRO.
Are you a golf mouse and experienced golfer looking for the best overall equipment? Garmin Approach R50 is your best choice.
There’s never been a better time to buy a launch monitor. These devices are getting better and more affordable, a combination we haven’t seen historically when it comes to golf equipment.
