Shot Scope, a brand known for its GPS watches, lasers and exceptional data tracking software, entered the personal launch monitor space earlier this year with the Shot Scope LM1. It gave golfers just about everything they were looking for in a personal launch monitor. It’s the right size, has all the right features, is priced competitively and, most importantly, works really well. You can find a full video review on our YouTube channel.
Earlier this year at our THP Experience, the Trackers Championship, each of the forum members selected to attend received an LM1 for their own personal use. Since that time, we have asked each of them to put it through its paces and provide feedback.
The results have been nothing short of fantastic, and we wanted to share some of our testers’ quick thoughts with those who may not frequent the forum.
Shot Scope LM1 Tester Feedback

Priced and designed to bring accurate, dependable, and easy data to your fingertips. The portability and ease of use alone make it compelling and a must have, but when you add in the accuracy of a unit this small, this becomes a no brainer to put in your bag.
I’ve tested it against $20k+ units and for 1% of the price, you get 99% of the accuracy and all the key data points I need on any given day to shoot my best score or make that next leap in grooving my swing.

It is the best training aid I’ve ever had.
The LM1 provides meaningful feedback that helps me stay focused when working on my game. It is the best training aid I’ve ever had, as you can not only see the results of your shot instantly, but you can also see your shot history on Shot Scope’s website and app post session. It’s a lightweight, compact launch monitor that provides fast and reliable ball speed, clubhead speed, carry, and smash factors results at a shockingly affordable price. Because it is so quick and easy set up and start measuring shots, I’ve even used it on the course.

The LM1 is the perfect range companion. It’s easy to use, lightweight, clear, and accurate all for a low, low price. It conveniently can fit in my bag and uploading the data to review in the Shot Scope app is a breeze.
I genuinely cannot fathom a better device for the money to accompany anyone on the range for distance checks on full swings, chips, or even speed training.

“Easily one of the best value devices you can buy if you are looking to improve your game and supercharge your practice time.”
The LM1 has become an integrated and essential part of my range time and practice sessions – even with TopTracer equipped ranges. In the short time I have had it I have used it to gap a new set of irons, worked on my swing speed with my driver, and worked on dialing in both my partial wedge distances and trying to present my partial wedges correctly at impact.

As I mentioned earlier, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. If you would like to read more detailed feedback please visit our forum thread.

Excellent write-up [USER=5944]@Lord Tox[/USER] and great job by all the reviewers!
Great write up on a great device.
I haven’t had a lot of opportunity to use my LM1 since its came in but what little I have was a good experience and mirrored the numbers I see on my other unit. Nice article
This device is so so so good. It’s crazy that it’s a cent under 200 for what it does and how well it does it
Still seriously consider this device for a range unit based on its price point and the write up doesn’t help that haha. So solid and everything you need at quick access.
Well done testers!

That’s what I bought it for. Strictly to keep in the bag for wedge matrix work at the range
Well done everyone.
If I went to the range a lot, I think this would be one of the best LM’s to take. It’s small, inexpensive and provides what you need.
That is a great wrap up and some comments that I have thought about in the short time I have owned the LM1. For what you get in a small unit the price and quality cannot be beat.
Nice wrap up here. And some very positive and relatable comments from the testers.
Great write-up, and great job by the reviewers.
I haven’t used my LM1 a lot, not a range guy, but I bring it on the course with me and use it on the tee boxes……………………..people seem to enjoy it during casual rounds.
Amazing that it’s only $200, I’m sure many other companies will be following their lead soon
Nice write ups. I think odds are I’ll end up with one of these at some point soon

And TBH in my most recent findings I think more golfers would be better suits with a LM like this vs all the data and getting to caught up in the numbers. This gives you more than enough information unless you are trying to implement a swing change which you shouldn’t be doing day of play anyway haha
Following the feedback of the guys, I feel like an LM1 should happen at some point!

Thanks both !
For a while I had my shingle out as a professional photographer and did a bit of commercial and product photography……. now I just have an iPhone.
The LM1 is a great practice and training tool, made even greater by its price and lack of subscriptions (like all Shot Scope products). The portability and ease of use are huge positives, you can easily throw it in your golf bag and take it to the range or course for use, and setup takes only seconds.

I need pointers
Nice wrap up! I’m mad at myself for not buying one yet. 😂
Great wrap up! Havent been able to use my LM1 a ton since I got it but loving all the feedback.
Also not missing the facts that everyone is showing off some bombs being hit

It’s perfect for the range. Just saying. It makes going to the range fun for me.
Great wrap up y’all! I use my LM1 every range session and love it. It’s so easy to setup and use.

It definitely makes range time more interesting and useful than just blasting ball after ball out there and guessing what it’s doing.
Using this at the range is a great tool, especially before a round. Like any launch monitor when I noticed my swing speed was down I started ramping up to get to where I needed to be.

It shocked me to see how easy and accurate yours was when I tried it out recently. I’m 100% onboard with ordering one now after that experience
Plan is to start speed training in a few months and get one of these. (y)
