Rapsodo golf simulator: MLM2PRO setups

Rapsodo is the cheapest way I found to get measured spin into a home simulator. Just treat the Core plan as part of the price.

The MLM2PRO ($549.99) pairs radar with two cameras; with Rapsodo's RPT balls it measures spin rate and spin axis. The new MLM2XPRO ($899.99) adds putting and opened for orders in October 2026.

Simulator play, GSPro, E6 and Awesome Golf all need Rapsodo's Core plan at $199.99 a year.

Hardware price 3 years of plans

Launch monitor only (no enclosure or projector). Plans = what a typical owner pays for course play, my math.

Which one I'd buy

Rapsodo MLM2PRO

Until the MLM2XPRO has owner reports, I'd buy the proven MLM2PRO.
