What is Rapsodo?
Rapsodo is a leader in portable ball launch monitors and flight trackers for golf, baseball, and softball. The company combines computer vision, artificial intelligence, and high-speed video to deliver precise data on ball flight, spin, velocity, and trajectory.
Key Products
For golf, the MLM2PRO and MLM1 mobile launch monitors are available. MLM2PRO is the flagship model, measuring 14 impact parameters including ball speed, club head speed, launch angle, spin rate, and smash factor. It works with a mobile app and includes a free Callaway CSI Pro laser rangefinder with purchase.
For baseball and softball, the PRO 3.0 and PRO 2.0 devices combine hitting and pitching analysis in one unit. They are trusted by MLB teams, Division I colleges, and top athletes including Shohei Ohtani.
How the Technology Works
Rapsodo uses an integrated camera and Doppler radar to capture video and data in real time. The system automatically records every hit or pitch, provides instant feedback, and allows long-term progress tracking. All data is stored in the cloud and accessible via an intuitive mobile application.
Practical Use Cases
Athletes use Rapsodo both on the field and indoors. Coaches leverage the data to refine technique, create personalized training programs, and objectively measure improvement. The technology is especially valuable for developing young players and professionals seeking peak performance.
