Does anyone here have any experience with the PRGR Pocket Launch Monitor?

  • SUPERIOR ACCURACY: Uses Doppler Radar and precise algorithms to show your SWING SPEED, BALL SPEED, CARRY DISTANCE, TOTAL DISTANCE and SMASH FACTOR for each club. Can also use with Tennis, Soccer and Baseball.
  • EASIEST TO USE: Turn it on, put it down, and hit. No WiFi, no downloads, no apps needed. Captures nearly 100% of shots without "fiddling" with placement like with others.
  • TRUSTED MANUFACTURING: PRGR has been making Tour-level golf equipment for nearly 40 years and is a division of the Yokohama company, famous maker of auto and truck tires for more than 100 years.
  • 100% MONEY-BACK : 30 days, no questions asked PLUS an ongoing, 1-year 

Is this too good to be true? Price is $229?

It just literally measures ball speed (or clubhead speed). It assumes you've launched it in a window that's about what you should for the club you chose.

The Stack radar is a white label version of the PRGR, basically, with Bluetooth.

Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.
