Three Portable Golf Launch Monitor Models Reviewed

How do you find the best golf launch monitor? There are so many different variables that go into the best golf launch monitor: size, technology, data points and affordability are just a few of them. In this post, we'll review and compare different options for your best golf launch monitor, across an assortment of different budgets.

A golf launch monitor is designed to measure the distance, rotation speed and direction of the club-head on impact with the ball. They are useful for personal golf instruction and training as well as by golfers who are keen to increase their accuracy and consistency. One common scenario for using one of these devices is to use it to train or improve your swing mechanics, by measuring the club-head angle and distance as you hit the ball. However, it can also be used by golfers who play regularly on a golf course and would like to check their accuracy from the comfort of their own homes. The device has evolved over the years to the point where it is now quite reasonably priced.

But that golf launch monitor should you buy? Our tests found that there were several devices that provided good value for money, but none of them offered the level of accuracy that most golfers require. Most of the ones that offer decent value for money either have poor display resolution or don't offer very accurate measurements. Worse still, many of the devices that didn't rate very highly in terms of their performance actually cost more to use than their competitors. Our verdict? Stick with business enterprise solutions like the Trackman.

Despite their limitations, our tests did find that there are some features that are absolutely essential for any golf game monitoring device. This includes a way to clearly see the club face at all angles during your swing and one that provides maximum distance readings. To find out which offers the best golf launch monitor, we conducted three separate tests to find out. Our conclusion? If you want a golf game monitoring device with all three elements, the Trackman is the one to choose.

Portable golf launch monitor devices using the Trackman ES12 technology aren't just useful for golf players. They are useful for anyone who wants to accurately measure the distance they swing the club. One of the best elements of these portable golf launch monitor tools is the distance measurements provided by the backlit display. While not as precise as a foot pod or airless radar gun, it's still better than nothing.

The final two portable golf launch monitors we tested were the Rapsodo mobile golf and the Spira rangefinder. Our reviewers had nothing good to say about the Rapsodo, in fact, the most common complaint of users of these golf launch monitors is that the backlit display provided by the unit is inaccurate. The other two testers also had similar complaints. Spira, however, did score better on overall accuracy and, when used with the recommended accessories, offered the best value for its price.

The third portable golf monitor we tested was from the pros, the Yardley Pro Pod. This brand of release rate tool offers high-tech features in a lightweight and convenient package. The best thing about this golf release monitor is that its dual-axis optical system is calibrated for true ball flight and offers great distance measurements. Best of all, it includes an alignment target to help measure the alignment of the club head and the ball itself. In addition to that, this unit has an electronic speed control with a manual release speed that allows users to get up close and personal with their golf shots.

Overall, our testers found that most of the golfers who used these monitors found them to be highly useful and accurate. One of the key things they appreciated was that they were easy to use even for novices. Some of the other metrics included distance readings, club speed and other metrics were easy to read and provide precise feedback. With the numerous brands of golf launch monitors out there, it's important for golfers to consider which brands and models offer the right combination of features and functionality. All of these brands are making good products, but only Spira delivered the maximum amount of value and performance.
