To get better golfers need to know their distances, the PRGR is a great tool for learning how far you hit each club. The PRGR is also often suggested for swing speed training, it excels in this regard. Check out the video and please share your thoughts below!

If you are looking at personal launch monitor, had you heard of the PRGR? If not, what launch monitors are you considering?

I literally just got one today for Christmas and I'm so excited to get out there and dial my distances in!

This is my second video of yours that I have watched. Digging the no nonsense. Gonna watch the review of stacks later

The instructions that come with the PRGR HS-130A say not to use the launch monitor at an angle as it gives lower speeds. It gives the example of a target moving directly on line at 70mph. At 30 degrees of an angle, this will read as 61mph on the monitor. Might be a reason some on here are getting lower swing speeds than expected.

Still confused ..if my main concern is dialing in distances what do you recommend? And swing speed? And both ? Thanks I appreciate it ..I’m only gonna get one shot at this as I finally persuaded the wife..if you know what I mean ..been looking at swing caddie, flight scope.Have not considered prgr until seeing you video..Thanks

mine reads way low, club head speed and distance. It has me about 50-60mph max, and 140 yards with my 5 wood..I would estimate im about 80-90 mph by my driving range distances. Any ideas? sucks because this unit has such great reviews.

I'm trying to use the PRGR 120A in my 2 car garage with a Go Sport net (black netting with a dark green tarp behind the net). I do have my car parked in the garage with white netting between the car & the hitting mat. The ball is hit 8 feet from the net & I have the PRGR positioned like you have it (4 feet behind the ball & level with my small Country Club Real feel mat - there is carpet between the mat & the PRGR). I've also tried the PRGR at different heights. My carry reading on the PRGR is very short (less than 100 yds for a 7 iron which I normally hit around 130 yds). On the range the PRGR is more accurate. Any suggestions to improve the PRGR carry reading indoors? Thanks, Tom

I assume I can use foam ball, but wondering if it reads same speed as I use real ball.

Like many comments, the prgr is not that accurate for me. I have used it for a couple years and it's ok to track if your swing speed is consistant. Yardage and smash factor are way off. I think if the smash factor was accurate it would give a more realistic distance. Most of my smash on the prgr is 1.05 with every club. On trackman I average in the 1.40-1.50 range. Swing speeds are better. An example 7i swing speed 87, smash 1.05, carry 130. On trackman swing 87, smash 1.45, carry 160. The latter is pretty typical of my 7i when playing.

The comments below do not agree with your 1 year assessment, and you are also agreeing with the negitive comments on distance. what good is the monitor if it does not have accurate distance and you need to fool it with the driver and use other clubs. None of that is mentioned in your video after 1 years use ??

decent info, but the guy doesn’t move one inch the whole time and it is painfully obvious he is reading a script. good info, bad delivery
