What is Spin Rate and Spin Axis?
Spin Axis - the axis that the ball spins on or the measure of the tilt of that axis. A positive Spin Axis means that it is tilted to the right (a slice or face for RH golfers). A negative Spin Axis means that is it tilted to the left (a draw or hook).
Spin Rate - A golf ball's spin rate -- refers to the speed that it spins on its axis while in flight. It is measured in revolutions per minute (rpm).
Are Titleist® ProV1 Golf Balls with RPT the same as Titleist ProV1 Golf Balls?
Yes, it is the same golf ball. The specialized print design on the exterior of the RPT golf ball is the only difference. The RPT pattern is printed under the clear coat of the golf ball for durability purposes.
Are Titleist Balls with RPT included with purchase of MLM2PRO?
No, currently Titleist Golf Balls with RPT are not included in the initial purchase of an MLM2PRO. They are only available for purchase for $69.99/Dozen exclusively on Rapsodo® - Sports Performance & Analytics Technology.
Are there any other type of Titleist Golf Balls with RPT available?
No, currently only the Titleist PROV1 and PROV1x Golf Balls are available to purchase. Check back to Rapsodo.com often to see expansion on golf ball products available.
What is the difference between a Titleist Ball with RPT ball and Titleist RCT ball?
The unique print pattern on the exterior of the Titleist RPT golf balls is specifically designed for compatibility with the built in Impact Vision camera on the MLM2PRO. This camera measures the spin rate and spin axis of the golf ball during the initial flight. The Titleist RCT (Radar Capture Technology) golf balls use a special core that allows radar-based launch monitors to measure the spin rate of the golf ball. Rapsodo Golf is working with Titleist to calibrate the MLM to be compatible to acquire a spin rate metric, when an RCT ball is used.
Would a Titleist RCT ball provide spin measurement on a MLM2PRO?
No, RPT golf balls are required to provide a spin axis and spin rate measurement.
Which is more accurate RPT or RCT golf balls?
RPT golf balls provide a precisely measured spin rate when paired with an MLM2PRO. Rapsodo Golf is currently working with Titleist to allow RCT golf balls to also display an accurate measured spin rate when used with an MLM. This feature is still being tested, but we hope to make it available soon.
Additionally, RPT golf balls (when paired with an MLM2PRO) also provide a spin axis measurement. The spin axis metrics will not be available on MLM units on account of the device’s design. This means every shot tracked by the MLM/RCT involve estimates of the curve and overall carry/side carry, Since the RPT golf ball provides both measured spin rate and spin axis, the metrics reported are extremely accurate for carry and curve.
Will I get spin rate and spin axis if I use a regular golf ball instead of the Titleist Golf Balls with RPT with the MLM2PRO?
An RPT™ Golf Ball is required to show measured spin numbers.
Where can Titleist Golf Balls with RPT be purchased?
