The ULTIMATE FlightScope Mevo+ Review
Mevo+
$1,800 with Code:GOLFBUSTERS10
Space Constraints
To have your Mevo+ functioning accurately you will need a little over 18 feet of depth and 15 feet of width.
This monitor will be the best next to overhead monitors when you’re playing with righties and lefties but they’re much cheaper than the hefty price of around $10,000 for an overhead monitor.
Accuracy
The accuracy of the Mevo+ consistently reads within a yard of the Trackman and Foresight GC3’s readings. The accuracy amazes me every time I use this launch monitor because it is basically the exact same as monitors that I have used that are priced at up to $20,000. One important thing to be sure of is to purchase the Titleist RCT balls. These balls have special technology that makes the readings of the Mevo+ significantly more accurate.
The only downfall I have noticed with the Mevo+ is it doesn’t always pick up gear effect, but this only happens on severe mishits on your driver. Out of all the quirks with launch monitors I’ve tested, I’m glad that this is the ONLY issue with the Mevo+ because if you are hitting poor enough to get gear effect you know that shot is going to be a mishit already so in the long run it won’t matter that much, because when you do strike it perfect to decent it will read your shot shape perfectly.
This launch monitor is so accurate I have tested so many launch monitors that range from up to $20,000 and this one’s accuracy is spectacular. It never misses a stroke and always picks up on the correct yardage. The Mevo+ is one of the BEST launch monitors you will find with this level of accuracy. Not only is it crazy accurate it is also so affordable when it comes to launch monitors that it’s almost impossible to say no to.
Price, Pro Package, Face Impact, and Fees
If you are looking for some more data on your simulator the Pro Package includes data on your club path, face angle, and face-to-path. The Pro Package is $700 when bought with the discount code GolfBusters10. This add-on is perfect if you’re trying to quickly correct mistakes in your swing because it gives you immediate data. To get the most accurate reading on your club path the ball will need to be on the center line.
When it comes to subscription fees needed to use the Mevo+ there are none, unlike most other systems that have subscription fees of around $250-$750 annually. With this being said I do strongly recommend the GSPro which is $250 a year and is some awesome simulator software. While recommended it is not necessary though because with the Mevo+ you get 10 free E6 courses. Also, an important note to add is that the Mevo+ is compatible with both iPads and PCs.
The Mevo+ can be used with any program and can be used with an iPad or PC hooked up to a TV or projector which can help you save money on your projector. On the Mevo+ there are already 10 free E6 courses I have also found that the GSPro subscription has been a very worth it purchase to get the best accuracy and course play experience.
The battery life on the Mevo+ is around 3 hours. With this in mind if you’re going to the range this should be more than enough, but if playing the simulator getting a battery pack to hook up to it while you play might be a good plan.
Outdoor Driving Range
Outdoor accuracy with the Mevo+ is incredible because it reads the ball’s full flight path. One important note to make is that the setup at the range is just as important as indoors so make sure you take the extra minute to set it up correctly.
Responsiveness
The Mevo+ is extremely responsive and it reads everything super quickly. The only time you will notice a delay is when the fusion tracking is turned on combining the camera with the radar, but this delay is only about half a second so it is not much of a drawback. I didn’t notice the delay after a few minutes.
Putting
My first comment on putting is STOP putting on a simulator. This is for 2 simple reasons firstly, it takes a whole extra hour when golfing with 4 people, and secondly, it doesn’t improve your putting game that much. If you’re still looking to putt using a simulator I can say that it is pretty accurate and does read quite well.
Lefties and Righties
Playing with lefties and righties with the Mevo+ is great because you can play without interference and you won’t need to move it every time like most other simulators. This is a HUGE time saver.
Kids
When using the Mevo+ with kids it’s super nice because it’s far back from the screen and it’s very easy to tuck away so they can’t damage it.
Cons
When it comes to the downfalls of the Mevo+ the setup is a little fidgety, but once you get it down I don’t think that it is that bad. You will need to also purchase Titleist RCT balls these are about $70 and should last you through the winter.
One other con of the Mevo+ is the chipping under 12 yards. This monitor has a hard time reading these chips but it’s a simple fix. Just move the ball 5 feet away from the device and manually enter in your program under Mevo to ball 5 feet instead of 8. After doing this your monitor should read chips as short as 5 feet every time.
Club Data Accuracy
One of the biggest benefits of the Mevo+ is the club data accuracy. It’s extremely consistent with both club and ball data and when compared to the Trackman the club speed, ball speed, club path, and ball path are essentially the same.
Why Get The Mevo+
The Mevo+ is my number 1 recommended launch monitor for 99% of golfers. One big reason is you won’t need to move it every time when playing with lefties and righties.
Another key detail is the accuracy is amazing for the price the next best would probably be the Bushnell Pro which is a cheaper version of a Foresight GC3 which is around $8,000. Also, the club and ball data that you get for the price category it’s in is leaps and bounds better than other devices. Overall with the purchase of the Mevo+, you get the best bang for your buck when you look at all the additions and the affordability of the items.
