The Edinburgh brand known for GPS and shot tracking has launched its first launch monitor — no subscription, no complexity, and aimed squarely at everyday golfers who want to know their numbers.
Shot Scope has stepped into launch monitor territory with the LM1, a compact radar-based device that measures the five numbers most useful for practice: club speed, ball speed, smash factor, carry distance and total distance.
At £199.99 with no ongoing fees, it’s pitched well below most of the competition.
Set-up is straightforward — place it around five feet behind the ball, select your club and swing. A 3.5-inch colour screen displays your data immediately, and sessions can sync to the Shot Scope app afterwards to track progress over time.
What It Measures and Why It Matters
For anyone working on their game — whether with a coach or just on the range alone — knowing how efficiently you’re converting swing speed into distance is genuinely useful.
The LM1 gives you that picture without the price tag that has traditionally put launch monitors out of reach for most club golfers.
Battery life runs to five hours, so it’s practical for a full range session or indoor practice at home.
