Shot Scope LM1: a pocket-sized radar launch monitor with its own screen
The Shot Scope LM1 is Shot Scope's first launch monitor: a compact Doppler radar unit that sits on the ground behind the ball and shows five core numbers on its own 3.5-inch color display. There is no phone or tablet to pair before you hit, no calibration and no alignment routine. Turn it on, choose a session type and a club, place it about 1.4 m (4 to 5 ft) behind the ball on the target line, and start hitting.
What the LM1 measures
- Club speed (clubhead speed)
- Ball speed
- Smash factor, calculated in real time from ball speed and club speed
- Carry distance
- Total distance
The LM1 does not display spin, launch angle, shot shape or club path. Shot Scope built it around the five numbers that tell you how fast you swing, how well you strike it and how far each club goes. That makes it a gapping and practice tool rather than a simulator launch monitor; it does not connect to golf simulation software.
Three session modes
The LM1 has three modes on the device: Practice Range, On Course and Speed Training. Speed Training reads swing speed with a club or a speed stick, with the unit placed about 2.1 m (6 to 8 ft) behind you. In range and on-course sessions you select the club you are hitting with the side buttons, so every shot is stored against the right club.
Built to travel
The unit measures 146.5 x 103.5 x 25 mm and weighs 300 g, so it fits in a golf bag pocket. A fold-out kickstand holds it upright, it is IPX3 rated for light rain, and the rechargeable 1800 mAh lithium battery gives about 5 hours of use and recharges over USB-C in about 2 hours. It works indoors into a net and outdoors on the range or the course; Shot Scope's guide warns that other radios, computers or launch monitors close by can interfere with its radar.
Session history in the Shot Scope app
The LM1 stores up to 1,920 shots on the device. Turn on Bluetooth and sync to the Shot Scope app for iOS or Android to keep lifetime session history alongside Shot Scope's GPS aerial maps, MyStrategy and course preview features. Shot Scope charges no subscription for the app.

Instant Feedback in Under 30 Seconds
Shot Scope says the LM1 can give you feedback on a strike in under 30 seconds from switching it on. There is no calibration, no alignment routine and no phone or tablet to pair first. Choose a session type, place the unit about a driver's length behind the line of your ball, and hit.
Every shot shows ball speed, club speed, smash factor, carry distance and total distance on the 3.5-inch screen. Switch to the large-digit layout to read one number at a time from your stance.
Speed, Strike and Distance
Club speed and ball speed show how much speed you create and how much reaches the ball. Smash factor, calculated in real time, tells you how well you struck it. Carry and total distance for every club help you build reliable yardages and fill the gaps in your bag.
The LM1 does not measure spin, launch angle or shot shape. Shot Scope kept it to the five numbers most golfers use to practice with purpose.
Speed Training Mode
Speed Training reads your swing speed in mph or km/h with a club or a speed stick. For speed sessions Shot Scope recommends placing the LM1 about 2.1 m (6 to 8 ft) behind you, depending on your swing speed. It is a simple way to track progress on an overspeed program at home or at the range.
Use It Indoors and Outdoors
The LM1 is built for practice wherever you swing: into a net at home, on the driving range, or on the course in On Course mode. Its kickstand, carry case and IPX3 rating make it easy to move between them.
Indoors, give yourself room behind the ball for the unit and room ahead for your net or screen, and keep other radios and launch monitors away from it. Browse our golf nets and hitting mats to build a practice space around it.
Session History in the Free Shot Scope App
The LM1 stores up to 1,920 shots on the device, so you can practice without your phone. After a session, turn on Bluetooth and press Connect in the Shot Scope app to upload your data. The app keeps your lifetime session history by club, so you can spot trends and watch your distances change over time. Shot Scope charges no subscription for the app.
