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.
