Rapsodo MLM2PRO vs Square Golf
The Rapsodo MLM2PRO and Square Golf Home Edition both suit golfers comparing a launch monitor for an indoor simulator, but the paid features differ. The MLM2PRO also works outdoors and records swing video, but spin, club path, attack angle and simulator software connections need Premium. Square Golf Home Edition is indoor-only, and the free app includes spin, club path, attack angle and putting.

Which to pick
Pick the MLM2PRO if
- you practice outdoors at the range as well as indoors
- you want swing video after every shot
- you switch between left- and right-handed golfers during a session
- you want club speed and smash factor in the app
Pick the Square Golf Home Edition if

Rapsodo MLM2PRO
- Technology
- Radar plus two cameras
- Placement
- Tripod on the floor 6.5 to 8.5 ft behind the ball
- Battery
- 2 to 4 hours; USB-C
- Video
- Shot Vision swing video is free; Impact Vision slow-motion video of the club at impact is 240 frames per second with Premium
- Membership
- 45-day Premium trial; Premium adds spin with RPT-patterned balls (balls with a printed pattern the cameras read), club path, attack angle, 30,000+ courses and simulator software connections
Why it shines
The MLM2PRO fits practice that moves between an indoor net and an outdoor range, and Shot Vision records a swing video after every shot in the free app.
The unit stays behind the ball, so left- and right-handed golfers can switch during a session without moving the tripod.
The free app shows ball speed, launch angle, launch direction, club speed, smash factor, carry, total distance, peak height and descent angle. Smash factor is ball speed divided by club speed.
What owners say
18 of 60 Reddit owners say MLM2PRO carry and ball data match outdoor numbers, on-course numbers or another launch monitor, and several say careful leveling, alignment, lighting or ball placement helped them get those readings. The clearest complaint is setup sensitivity: 11 Reddit owners mention setup or environment problems.
Worth noting
The MLM2PRO has no built-in putting mode. Rapsodo Courses, which needs Premium, uses Auto Putt, and GSPro uses Pick Your Putt instead of measured putts.
Square Golf Home Edition
- Technology
- Photometric: a high-speed camera with infrared lighting photographs the ball at impact
- Placement
- On the floor beside the ball; the ball must sit in a 15 cm (about 6 in) hitting zone
- Battery
- 8 hours; USB-C
- Indoor use
- Rooms with little or no sunlight
- Membership
- Free app includes spin with marked balls, and club path and attack angle with the shaft sticker
Why it shines
The Square Golf Home Edition fits an indoor bay where you have little space behind the golfer, because the unit sits beside the ball instead of behind the hitting area. See our roundup of launch monitors for a room with limited depth if depth decides your setup.
The free Square Golf app shows spin with the marked balls in the box, and shows club path and attack angle when the shaft sticker sits 20 cm (about 8 in) up from the floor.
The Home Edition has a built-in putting practice mode, and the app includes a driving range, closest-to-the-pin and courses designed by Square Golf; owners on Reddit describe the included 1,000 course-play credits as about 50 rounds, and our roundup of launch monitors for putting covers the other options.
Square Golf has no yearly membership, and our roundup of subscription-free launch monitors covers the other options.
What owners say
The strongest praise is short-game accuracy: 4 Reddit owners and 7 retailer customer reviewers say putting, chipping or short shots read well. 5 Reddit owners say Square Golf works with a net 4 to 5 ft away. The main caution is the hitting environment: 7 Reddit owners say sunlight or bright light stops the unit from picking up the ball, and retailer customer reviews say the 15 cm (about 6 in) hitting zone takes practice.
Worth noting
The Home Edition shows no club speed or smash factor. The missing club numbers matter to some owners: 3 Reddit owners ask for club speed and smash factor, and the newer Square Golf Omni adds club speed and smash factor.

For the MLM2PRO, Premium unlocks measured spin, club path and attack angle; spin also needs RPT balls, which have a printed pattern the cameras read. Square Golf spin rate and spin axis are measured with marked balls; with regular balls, backspin is calculated and spin axis needs the shaft sticker. Square Golf club path, attack angle and face angle need the shaft sticker.
