PRGR HS 130-A Portable Golf Launch Monitor | Doppler Radar Measures Club & Ball Speed, Smash Factor, Total & Carry Distance | Tracks Swing Speed Training Aids

I purchased the PRGR Launch Monitor about a month ago. I bought it primarily for speed swing training and short game like pitching and chipping. It has been great for my intended use. I love that I don't need an app to use it. The screen is very clear and easy to read even in bright sunlight. I have also used it for full swings on the range and it seems accurate. It is very easy to use and offers a great amount of data. As I mentioned I use it a lot for chipping and pitching so it really helps with my shorter distances as well as better tempo for those shots. For the price, this is a great budget launch monitor that will definitely help you with a variety of shots. It is small and very portable is it fits quite easily in your golf bag without taking up a lot of space. It takes batteries to power it so ensure you have extra batteries on hand for when it starts running low. I am not sure what that time frame is but just be aware of the power source. I would definitely recommend this as it is easy to use and easy to set up on the range.

I tried other launch monitors including the Garmin G80, Garmin R10, the ShotScope LM1 and THIS one beats them all for ease of use, price, consistency, accuracy and visibility. No phone or app needed. Runs on AAA batteries -- which is fine. They seem to last quite a while. I put the monitor on a mini tripod (monitor has a 1/4" screw hole) to lift it off the hot concrete at the range. So EASY to program which club you are using (has them all) and easy to see the result of each shot at a glance. Doesn't require precise positioning -- it can pick up the shot! Has all the essential data most of us golfers need. Highly recommend!!

While some launch monitors will apparently give you a speed reading when swinging a stick (based on several Youtube videos posted by golf pros), the new model of the PRGR (HS-130A) requires you to actually hit a real golf ball with a real golf club to provide anywhere close to an accurate reading. When hitting into a net, the distance numbers are way off. Club head speed, smash factor and ball speed may be more accurate, but are probably more reliable when ball flight is not being stopped by a net. Merely swinging a club provided ridiculously low speed readings, but readings were much more realistic when hitting an actual golf ball. These things are important to know PRIOR to making a buy decision. Unfortunately, my decision was made after watching another Youtube video, but prior to reading some of the other reviews on Amazon. Considering the price of this device relative to the competition, one should expect some compromise. The value of this thing is as a tool for monitoring progress when training for improved performance . It will likely deflate your ego, rather than stoke it. If money is no object, you might be happier with one of the more expensive launch monitors that will give you ridiculously high swing speeds while swinging a light stick, or one that will display ball spin, which the PRGR will not do. PROs: Low cost, relative to other launch monitors, unit easily fits in your bag, does not require internet connectivity, software subscriptions, or interface with smart phone or watch. Records data in memory that can be scrolled for later review. CONs: lacks some features of higher priced models, questionable accuracy, must be used on golf course or driving range to get somewhat reliable readings for all metrics displayed. Less useful for indoor practice sessions hitting into a net. Does not interface with any simulators or other devices.

This has been a great tool to start understanding my swing speed. Easy to use and take around. Padraig Harrington recommended it on his YouTube channel I believe. I have taken it to the local golf course that has Top Tracer at the range. They compare favorably. Top Tracer only gives ball speed, so you don't know how fast you're swinging or how efficiently your hitting it (smash factor) but this gives you those values and that's important because that's what I can try to get better at. I like especially that you can swing in the backyard and it will tell you how fast you're going without a ball. That has been great just to see what I can really top out at.

I am a plus handicap golfer and the most important thing to me is accuracy. I do not have $20K for the top of the line equipment so I have been trying many launch monitors. I found this product to be the best for my needs. Doesn't overheat in the sun like MLM and it is consistent and with a small margin of products like Trackman and GC Quad. I have tested it against both several times. It is bare minimum on data, but the data is correct. Which is mind very helpful. The calculated carry distances are good enough. I have found the club head speed to be incorrect at times. For example, 119 club head and 123 ball speed. So, it is very obvious when it is incorrect. I use mine more for seeing my ball speeds shot to shot and range session to range session. But it has been good for getting new carry numbers and seeing when I am having a slower swing speed day. It is easy to set up and use all day long. I really like mine and use it every time I am on the range practicing or warming up. If you are looking for accuracy and portability, this is the unit for you.

This thing is fairly accurate but I ended up wanting more data that it provides. It is a cheap alternative to the outrageously priced launch monitors and unfortunately it does not make you a better golfer just shows you how bad you really are.

Absolutely dreadful for speed training golf. It registered my back swing 80% of the time and my actual swing about 3% of the time. I already hit 115mph with driver and couldn't get my speed sticks to register more than 91. Driver registered 100mph which I can almost do with my wedges. Absolutely terrible.

I bought this to use at the range to better understand my club distances, and it works well for me. The distances it calculates correlate quite well with what I observe during a round of golf. It does miss shots, but that is usually because of an extremely poor strike (fat/thin). Overall I am very pleased and would recommend to anyone who is trying to use data to improve their golf skills.

Amazonさん経由で購入したら海外から届きました。 プロギア社が欧米向けに出荷した製品だと思われますが、国内で使用すると電波法違反になると思います。 使用者が処罰の対象になりますが、販売者がわかってやっているなら非常に悪質だと思います。

I liked this product. It does what it professes to do and it is affordable. It is simple to operate. It would be nice if it provided angle of attack and spin rates, but presumably those functions would cost more.

Just wanted to point out that neither the batteries nor the carrying case, as advertised, were included in the shipment. Wonder if they'll send it now? I used the monitor and distance seems pretty accurate. It did miss a couple of shots though.
