Prime Delivery • 30-Day ReturnsPRGR HS 130-A Portable Golf Launch Monitor | Doppler Radar Measures Club & Ball Speed, Smash Factor, Total & Carry Distance | Tracks Swing Speed Training Aids
The PRGR HS-130A is a compact, pocket-sized launch monitor designed to deliver accurate golf swing data at an affordable price. The device uses Doppler radar and advanced algorithms to measure essential metrics such as swing speed (club head speed with or without a ball), ball speed, smash factor, carry and total distance for each club. It keeps memory of up to 500 swings, making it suitable for tracking performance over time. The unit is battery-powered (runs on AAA batteries), requires no apps, WiFi or downloads — just turn it on, place it on the ground, swing, and get immediate feedback. The monitor is light (around 4.9 oz) and portable, allowing easy transport. According to manufacturer claims, it also works for other sports like baseball, tennis, soccer, and hockey when measuring bat or ball speed.

Key Considerations
Measurement Accuracy & Technology — What technologies does the device use (e.g., Doppler radar, laser) and how accurate are its readings (club head speed, ball speed, carry distance, etc.)?
Data Provided & Usefulness — Which metrics does it measure (e.g., swing speed, ball speed, smash factor, carry/total distance)? Do these metrics align with your practice/training goals?
Ease of Use & Convenience — How easy is it to set up and use? Does it require additional apps, calibration, or complicated installation? Is it portable/lightweight?
Versatility — Can it work for different clubs (woods, irons, wedges) and different conditions (with/without ball, indoor/outdoor)? Possibly even other sports.
Storage & History Tracking — Does it keep history of swings, allow you to track progress over time?
he whole point of a launch monitor is to give reliable, repeatable data. If the readings are erratic or inaccurate, training feedback becomes meaningless.It uses Doppler radar and “precise algorithms” to deliver swing speed, ball speed, smash factor, carry and total distance.As with many budget monitors, advanced metrics like spin rate, launch angle, or detailed ball trajectory are not provided — which may limit usefulness for advanced players seeking full swing analytics. A user review suggests: “It would be nice if it provided angle of attack and spin rates, but presumably those functions would cost more.”
These factors represent the most critical aspects that will impact your satisfaction with this product.
Customer Reviews
I got this launch monitor for Christmas. Today I hit over 100 golf balls. Hit driver, fairway woods, hybrids, irons and wedges.
Needed a simple launch monitor to track numbers for a junior golfer. The price is right and it seems accurate as long as you set up correctly. Set up 4 feet directly behind the ball. Also, if hitting off a mat
