Rapsodo Mobile Launch Monitor: Pro Level Data. Every Golfer’s Price | golf SMARTER #851

851: If you’ve taken a golf lesson in the last 15 years, your instructor may have used a Trackman launch monitor to gather shot data. But Trackman is a huge investment which can exceed $25,000. When you watch golf on TV, TrackMan data is regularly referred to. But now every golfer is able to purchase a variety of mobile launch monitors at reasonable prices with impressive results. Rapsodo is the clear leader in this space, being name the Best Personal Golf Launch Monitor of 2021 by MyGolfSpy because of its impressive performance against other Mobile Launch Monitors from SkyTrak, Flightscope, and Garmin. The great part of Rapsodo is that it can be used indoors or out, whether you’re hitting into a net or at the driving range. Our guest this week is Rapsodo’s Testing and Research Coordinator, Justin Bryant, who had a successful playing career at Wake Forest, Arnold Palmer’s alma mater. We learn about Justin’s journey from amateur to pro, ending up working for Rapsodo.com This episode is brought to you by mygolfingstore.com/golfsmarter home of Eagle Eye Rangefinder.

This week on Golf Smarter Mulligans #167, we finally get to share an episode that has never been released in public before. Robert Trent Jones, Jr is one of the most famous course architects in the world. In June, 2006 host Fred Greene was hired by Troon Golf and flown to NY to interview Jones for a video project about a new course being developed in Puerto Rico. The project stalled, but Fred held onto the interview for five years before making it a Golf Smarter episode. This is the first time this episode has ever been released as it was a Members Only episode when it was originally published in December 2010. Be part of the podcast and introduce our next episode! Write to GolfSmarterPodcast@gmail.com and we’ll assign you an episode number and a brief script to record for the intro of the show. For your effort you’ll receive a Glove + Glove Compartment from RedRoosterGolf.com. At Red Rooster Golf, you can choose from 11 styles of gloves in 26 sizes so that they fit you properly! With Red Rooster Golf Gloves, you can say goodbye to funky, beat-up gloves and say hello to getting a well made, great fitting, tour-grade glove delivered to your door. Plus, with every glove you buy, they’ll donate a glove to youth golf. We thank RedRoosterGolf.com for giving a new glove to every Golf Smarter Ambassador who introduces an upcoming episode! If you have a question about whether or not Fred is using any of the methods, equipment or apps we’ve discussed, or if you’d like to share a comment about what you’ve heard in this or any other episode, please write because Fred will get back to you.
