PRGR
The Pocket Launch Monitor
The PRGR Launch Monitor is smaller than the average smart phone and also very lightweight meaning it fits easily into your golf bag and with no wires needed can be taken onto the course. The 2021 model now has a larger screen for easier viewing!
Pocket Performance
The PRGR provides top performance in a small package, the unit provides club head speed, ball speed, total carry and total yardage numbers, it can even give swing speeds without the need to hit a ball!, the new model also now provides KMPH & MPH!
Easy To Use
Out of the box it is very simple to set up and use, simply turn on, place next to your swing and start swinging and it will automatically pick up your shot data and store for later viewing.

Very easy to set up and use right out of the box. I haven’t tried it with anything other than range balls, but it was very consistent and provided immediate feedback. Wish there was more wedge selections according to the differing degrees of loft. Great practice tool to get your swing speeds and tempo down. Highly recommend compared to other products and at a very good price.
This works very well either on my backyard setup or at the course. It helped me to realize my problem – my swing speed is only 1/2 of the guys on TV! Guess my dreams of going pro are out the window. It really does help with practicing.
Launch monitor entry level ottimo per chi non ha grandi spazi n troppe pretese.
Non il top della precisione ma a quel prezzo non si pu certo pretendere molto.
A volte non calcola le distanze ma solo la velocit dello swing.
Pi si ha spazio a disposizione, pi preciso.
Nel complesso per chi ha poco budget e vuole avere comunque un’indicazione di massima sulla distanza e lo smash factor un prodotto che consiglio.
The little device works surprisingly well. I have mine mounted on a little tripod for more consistent readings. It has to be directly behind the ball at tee off. Wish it had the ability to record and download data.
This is an excellent little golf analyzer for getting the distance of your clubs, working on speed training and ball striking. What you must do is align the device with your swing path not necessarily the target. So for example if you have an inside out (draw) path it needs to point a little to the right or the numbers will be lower than actual. I would definitely recommend this golf analyzer.
Really like the unit for what it is. But at that level of qualified functionality, the inability to off load the captured info is a glaring shortfall (the 4 instead of 5 star rating). Off loading the shot data to a USB thumb drive would be a minor a cost of additional hardware and processing capability for the unit. Would only need the following data: club, club speed and ball speed to be off loaded for each shot to a text or csv file. Just basic spreadsheet competence would be able to turn that data in to real information one could track for assessing golf swing skill development.
This launch monitor works well. Good value for the money. It’s not 100% accurate but it’s close. It’s not useful for low trajectory shots and shots that are low impact but still, it’s very helpful overall.
The instructions leave a little to be desired, so once you get things figured out and set up properly the little radar unit tells you a story similar to one that comes from a very expensive machine. Handy and small enough that it resides in my golf bag and goes with me when i give a lesson. Helps the student realize when something works and when it doesn’t.
Ha tutto quello che serve , facile sia l’uso che la leggibilit.
Poco ingombro ma adeguato alla necessit di chi cerca migliore ripetitivit nello swing.
Molto soddisfatto
Non appena l’ho comprato oggi, durante il test, lo schermo si rotto. si pu riparare?
Basic low cost launch monitor with good accuracy. Helps to understand carry vs. total yardage and swing speed.
The one area it fails is with practice swings indoor or outdoor which are off by 15-20 mph.
Really nice for the price. Easy to use and it reads the data I need.
Der Golf-Start-Monitor wurde von meinem Sohn mit seinen gesammelten Geschenkgutscheinen gekauft, weil sein Golf-Pro dieses Gert auch benutzt und damit sehr zufrieden war. Es ist ein Gert, welches im privaten Gebrauch super den Golfschwung reflektiert. Schade ist, dass es zwar eine Vorrichtung fr einen Aufstelldorn gibt aber keiner dabei ist. Deshalb wurde das Gert, wie in Anleitung beschrieben, in entsprechendem Abstand auf den Boden gestellt. Allerdings steht es auf unebenem Untergrund damit ein bisschen wackelig. Mein Sohn hatte 1 ganzen Tag lang viel Freude an dem Gert. Am 2. Tag verlor er beim Schwingen das Gleichgewicht und knickte im Knie ein, der Driver sauste mit voller Wucht auf das Gert und es zersprang in 100 Teile! Nun ist leider seine Freude vorbei und er muss erneut sparen um sich das Gert noch einmal kaufen zu knnen. Dafr konnte das Gert nix, deshalb von uns trotzdem 5 Sterne, denn das Produkt wre prima gewesen.
It reads the speed and distance faster than Swing Caddie SC300i. Like 2 seconds faster.
Compared it to Swing Caddie SC300i and got the same readings, guess both are equally accurate.
The batteries run out fast, so bought rechargeable ones.
Making it rechargeable is the only upgrade the manufacturer should consider.
If you’re looking for something to measure club speed for speed training, or measure ball speed (that’s ultimately what really matters), this is a good option.
Bought this to use down the driving range. Seconds to set up, switch it on and you’re ready to go. Measure the swing speed of your club, the ball speed, distance with and without carry and smash factor. Use it anywhere, it’s so portable it’s unreal! Happy I bought it and I used it against a well known thousands of pounds machine and the differences were minimal.
Accurate and easy to use. However, did not come with carry case or battery as described!
Clay Ballard swears by this product , decided to check it out!!!!
Laid beside a Trackman the results were remarkably similar for less than a 1/10th of the price.
So portable and easy to set up, practice rounds are more fun and useful.
After doing some additional online research I realized that its price is related to the features it offers. It is not a knock off, and it is not cheap junk.
No it does not have many bells or whistles. What it does have is the basic information you need to help improve your swing. By measuring clubhead speed, ball speed, and smash factor, it can give you an excellent indicator of the quality of your golf strike. I have found it exceptionally useful for establishing my distance for each club. And the instant feedback of smash factor has been very helpful.
The only criticism I can make of the unit, is that it seems to miss some of the data a little more often (5-7 times per bucket of balls) than I had expected based on the information expressed in the instruction manual. This could perhaps be a factor of misaligning the unit with my swing direction, or a purely bad swing!
I love this unit. And I strongly recommend this unit if you are looking for basic information, particularly if you have a limited budget!
Works very well on the course, but prime winter use is just to get clubhead speed indoors. Good that it remembers the club you last used and stores (apparently) infinite history! Battery life very good.
I have managed to find a placement location where the device is now quite reliable. As noted below, I use it at the range and had some serious issues with its ability to reliably get a reading. I had moved it forward and backwards, up and down and even to the right (away from me) to minimize possible reflections from my body – but nothing was reliable.
What I most recently did, which to me was not intuitive, was to position it horizontally towards me so that it is now located between me and the ball horizontally (no longer directly behind the ball) and at the recommended distance behind me (4 ft, 6 ft seems not to matter too much) and the reliability is now very high – 90%-95%.
I increase my overall rating from a 2 to a 4 based on this reliability but have still left 1 star off because after further use, the distance estimates are not as accurate as I would have hoped. Maybe if one could input iron angles (such as is available on some of the Swing Caddie’s e.g.) that would help tune the distance readings.
However based on my latest data and experience, I would now recommend this device.
——————–
When it works it works well. Ease of use is as advertised and accuracy is great for the price.
Where it falls down is in actually getting a reading. I can hit 20 balls at the range with good accuracy getting 18 out of 20 recorded. Then with no changes in club or light it will completely lose the capability and record maybe 5 out of 20 (with proper accuracy). Sometimes it will recover and get back to working properly. Other times I have to turn it off and it only starts working again reliably when I bring it out on a different day.
When it fails it only displays club head speed and usually about 70% of actual speed. So it’s really lost.
New batteries sometimes help, but this happens with batteries that are almost full as well.
Because of this unreliability, I can’t recommend.
Great portable launch monitor with very good accuracy readings for every hit. Its small easy to use different functions/modes etc make this device top choice for measuring swing speed, ball speed, smash factor, carry, estimated, total distance etc, and it can measure distance in either yards or kph and best of all is the price as its nearly as good as launch monitors which cost thousands more.
Highly recommended. Love it.
Not sure how accurate it is, it gives a different reading to the monitor at the driving range but to be fair I have little confidence in the accuracy of that equipment.
Extremely easy to use very portable and gives you an instant reading.
Maybe a little expensive for what you get but no complaints really
Easy to use
Accuracy on clubhead speed and ball speed is good, compared v closely to other tech at a couple of ranges
Distance is just an algorithm, so basically ignore that
Occasionally gives some poor readings, maybe 5-10% of the time
Could I have batteries and protective pouch as advertised and maybe even a 10.25 refund as the Amazon price was reduced on the day the Launch monitor was delivered!!
This is a fraction of the cost of the big brand launch monitors, but it works well and is good value for money
Great value for money . For average golfer a good level of Accuracy . Fully satisfied with the product. It has provided me with confirmation of my striking distances and a basis for future improvement . Buy it .
Very please with this gadget and looking forward to testing at the driving range when they ope
Ordered 2 by mistake so returned 1 with no hassle. Very good value for money.
I use this on the range abs well worth the investme
works very well and numbers compare with much more expensive devices
Overall good value for money
A good start to help control swing speed and consistency.
This device revealed with swinging without a ball that my Swing speed with the driver was only 86-88 mph on average and 92 when I swung as hard as I coukd. The readings were consistent and correlated to the SS Vs driver distance on all the charts therefore I knew it was fundamentally something wrong with my swing technique with the driver.
The next day I concentrated on the body moves and and mental image of where to release the club via internet and this device gives instant feedback what swing moves increase club head speed without the inconvenience of hitting a ball.
In a 1 hour session experimenting, I got my swing speed up to 102mph and when I slipped back to old ways now and again, you can see the swing speed drop to what it was which shows the device is very consistent.
I can’t praise this device enough, especially at this price range and the fact that you can take it on the course with you too and it’s so small and mobile. A must have for any keen golfer at any level. This device is not a gimmick!
as a golfer the pocket size made this monitor very good
Compact, easy to use and great for taking out to the driving range. Small enough you could even use it on the course for practice.
Bought this, on the recommendation of my golf pro, during the lockdown. I’m told it is very accurate (club head and ball speed) compared to the expensive models. It’s benefit in the lockdown is that it is one of the few monitors that measure clubhead speed without using a ball. This can be used in confined spaces to improve swing speed.
So easy to use. Great value for money and delivered on time
The PRGR is also accurate but it reads many, many more hits. It does not read poor duff shots but hardly misses decent shots. I am only talking about indoor practice as due to the coronavirus all golf activities are suspended in the UK.
A good buy and a great pity I wasted the same amount of money on the SC100.
