PRGR Portable Launch Monitor Review

We.. We know people right? Maybe?
I just ordered the Stack System and a PRGR to read swing speeds indoors with no ball. I’m still waiting for delivery of the Stack System and just got the PRGR two days ago. I’ve only used it indoors without a ball or net and it picks up swinging a club or a Super Speed stick easily and as far as I can tell, accurately. I’m taking it with we to the indoor Trackman simulator tomorrow to get a better idea of how accurate it is but from reading your review, I expect it to be damn good for a $230 unit.

I’ll look forward to your comparison to Trackman. I would think if you are doing speed training, which is sounds like you are, this would be a pretty good option.
I love the side by sides with the GC2 showing how accurate it is! I only bought this because I needed something to work indoors with the Stack System but I can see myself using it often on the range or in the back yard hitting pitch shots with my daughter. It's so compact that it will travel in my bag easily and it's super simple to use. I love the fact that it runs on 4 AAA batteries as well. Here are pictures showing how compact it is. That's an AA battery, not the AAA that it uses.

Nice review, Dean! This is a really interesting product and I may end up grabbing one. I’m also less concerned about spin right now, so having distances and club speed would fit me perfectly I think. For $230, I think it’s worth a shot.

yeah super compact. I wanted to make sure that was mentioned.

Thanks for the side by side pictures as well. I don’t think one can complain about the accuracy at this price point. I will be jumping in for sure.
It is quite small - I put it in my bag and take it everywhere the clubs go. This is mine with the Visio tripod

it is nice having a spot on the back where you can mount it.
That looks like the perfect tripod for the unit!

This is on my ponder list.
I’ve been looking for something similar to this. I had the little white and blue box until I slipped and sent it down the fairway instead of the ball. I do wonder if I should think a little harder about a Mevo or used GC2
Just getting caught up now, great write up seems like a really good device to use on the range and for those who are hesitant about dropping quite a bit more on the 500$ and up devices. Good to see the side by side comparisons with the GC2.
Thanks for the review and observations. This is one that has been on my list because of SuperSpeed.

have you been doing SuperSpeed?
Not yet. Plan on starting at some point before next season begins.

Let me know. If you want, you can borrow this.

I just received a tripod for my PRGR from Amazon that's almost identical to the one @Desmond bought. I wasn't patient enough to wait for the one he bought from the UK. It simply screws right into the bottom of the unit with a few turns.
I bought it with the optional phone mount but it's $5 cheaper without it.

THANKS! I appreciate it, the way my basement net is set up, I am not sure I can get 6 ft for some of them. So this distance is perfect. And the price is a great way to determine how valuable it is for me. If it works (and I find it helpful), then I can consider some of the more data driven versions.
