It's delivery day for the Mevo and I'm about to go crazy watching the live look at the UPS truck driving all around my area and never getting any closer to my house.
I'm hoping it'll get here in time for me to run over to the range and get some reps in with it. We're supposed to get rain tomorrow the last time I checked and wouldn't be able to get out again until Sunday.

My intro is posted! @Josh Parker has kindly sent out the Mevo I'll be testing and it's scheduled to arrive Friday. To say I'm excited it's an understatement. I was hoping to take it to the course Friday, but it'll probably arrive after I leave, so I'll have to get it out Saturday and work on my first impressions. I already have the app downloaded and am ready to dive into some Mevo goodness.

Great tips @Tom the Golf Nut! I’m sure flightscope has looked into optimal lighting setups and lighting direction. Might be nice if the information you’ve laid out here was part of their FAQ page or something…

I know the feeling of letting golf slip away with two youngsters at home! I've got a 10 and 7 year old and I feel like 2023 was the least amount of golf I've ever played. I hope that this is accurate and it helps you get back to that low single digit number from before!

I look forward to your review. I would like to see you compare with other sources for accuracy and the ability to pick up each shot. I have seen with my testing of other technologies that sometimes shots are missed and about one out of ten shows funky numbers. For instance hitting 75 yard SWs, i seen a crazy number like 335 yards. The challenges are good as well, I utilize them on occasion with my MLM pro. I wish I would see more of a range of club utilization as in playing a round ie: D,7, D,W,.etc. Lastly, how quickly it connects (using Bluetooth or Internet). Good luck and I look forward to your results.

FlightScope Mevo review
By sirchunksalot
Hello everyone! I’m excited to be a part of this review and thank you to the forum staff and FlightScope for putting your trust in me.
Who am I?
My name is Jason Bentley and I’m a high handicap golfer. I’ve been playing for almost 30 years and have a stronger love for this game than I ever have.
I’m blessed to be married to the most amazing person who both encourages and supports me playing golf. We’ll be celebrating 12 years of marriage on the 14th and I’m thankful she’s put up with me that long.
I play most of my golf in SE TN where I’m fortunate enough to play most of the year.
The testing
I have been looking at launch monitors for a couple of years and just haven’t pulled the trigger on one. I have been seriously considering both the Mevo and MLM2 since they both offer Android compatibility and also seem to provide accurate data. Both the reviews I’ve seen from this thread and online say this is an accurate unit, so I’m coming into testing expecting good results.
I’ll be taking the Mevo to the range, hitting into my net, and on the course to compare with the information I get from ShotScope. I’m going to recruit some of my friends to go to the range with me so I can get their opinions on the data they receive.
The most important thing I’m looking for is, will this improve my game? If not, it’ll just be a fun piece of equipment.
What am I looking for?
First and foremost I want to see if I can use it to improve my launch angle. I tend to launch the ball close to the stated loft and want to lower that a bit in an attempt to gain distance and improve ground contact.
I’m also looking at the gapping in my bag to see if I have deficiencies either at the top or bottom. I was fit for my current set during the Cobra Challenge and want to see if they still hold up. I’m not going to expect perfection since I’m recovering from an injury and have had to build compensations into my game to keep from aggravating it again.
I also want to get true carry yardages so when I go to my bag to pick out a club I'll know that through testing I'll be more likely to pick the right one so I can carry a hazard or be able to hit more greens.
If I can see these things, I think the Mevo will become a staple in my practice sessions. I'm looking for something to help me dial in my game in 2024 and I'm hoping this will be something that'll help me improve.
If you have any questions, please reach out and I’ll do my best to answer them.
First impressions
Like the other testers, I was surprised how small the box was when I got it. I know it's been posted on here before, but it's crazy to see in person.
The Mevo was well packaged and the presentation was spot on. I believe you can tell how much pride a company takes pride in their product by the packaging and FlightScope did one of the best jobs I've seen. I love the small touches they put in with things like the carrying case and the magnetic closure on the box. That little detail is something I love because I feel it helps keep the box from getting wore out from opening and closing it.
I like how compact the whole thing is, it's design allows for it to fit easily into your bag and transport it to the range.
The FS app was easy to set up and I had it ready to go in just a few minutes. My first time taking it to the range all I had to do was measure out the distance from the unit to the ball, turn the unit on, open the app, and start the session to get going.
I still haven't figured out how to use the video function and need to do some research on that.
FlightScope knows how to present their product in a way that's satisfying to their customers and I'm going to give it a 10/10 for how well they have impressed me so far.
Aesthetics
The FlightScope Mevo is a compact launch monitor that measures in at 3 ¼ X 2 ¼. I knew going in to the test that it was small, but I wasn’t prepared for exactly how tiny it was. Don’t let the looks fool you, it provides a lot of punch in a small package.
The first time I opened the box I knew the build quality was going to be good. First off, the box itself was sturdy with a magnetic enclosure that makes it quick and easy to access the unit. When that much thought goes into the package, I know the actual product is going to be quality.
FlightScope provides two storage cases in the box itself and a cloth bag with a drawstring closure. I haven’t used the cloth bag at all since I feel like the box provides more protection and is still compact enough to fit into my golf bag.
The unit itself is a white rectangular shape with red accents and five LED lights that let you know that the power is on, how much charge is left, and that it’s connected to your phone.
The only other major feature to the Mevo on the outside is a metal kickstand that looks like it’s made to last and not run the risk of breaking like a piece of plastic might.
Aesthetics 10/10
The Numbers
If I hadn’t been following along with the test, I probably would have had my doubts about the accuracy of a $500 Doppler based unit.
Between judging targets on the range and comparing on course results with ShotScope, I can say it does a pretty good job of providing accurate information.
It’s not perfect and I’ve had some misreads on the range where I would top a drive or an iron and get highly inaccurate results.
The Mevo also doesn’t take into account the curvature of the ball and bases the results solely on the club speed, ball speed, and smash like it’s a straight shot.
One of the things I absolutely love about the Mevo is how easy it is to set up on the range. It’s basically use the notch on the top of the unit to align it with your ball location, turn the unit on along with the mobile app, select distance from the ball, and choose your club.
Charging takes a couple of hours and really isn’t that big of an issue. I can just plug it up the day before I use it and it’s ready to go by the time I go to bed.
My biggest complaint with the Mevo is the size of the charging cable.
It’s way too short and in order to plug it up to an outlet I have to set it up on something so it’s not dangling by the cord.
It was so inconvenient that I bought a battery charger from the FlightScope website. This is my major knock on the Mevo in grading.
You also can’t just go to Walmart and buy a longer replacement since you need a cord that’s compatible with Raspberry Pi.
As a less expensive launch monitor, the Mevo offers a lot of metrics that include:
• Club speed
• Ball speed
• Launch
• Carry
• Smash factor
• Spin
• Height
• Flight time
Of all the metrics it provides I look most at club speed, ball speed, smash, launch, and carry.
It’s great to be able to gather information such as ball and club speed along with smash to show me where my deficiencies are. I know I’m not seeing the carry being optimized by the club speed, so I know I have an issue with strike and can work on that to achieve more optimal numbers.
The Numbers 17/20
On Course
I’ve mentioned how easy it is to set up and get going on the range, and I love that. For those of you that remember the Ronco oven commercials, it’s basically “set it and forget it”. You can just hit balls and not worry about whether or not it’s going to perform.
The standout features of the app are the challenges, they make practice fun. I especially enjoy being able to compare my numbers to a PGA/LPGA pro. I used the comparison to the LPGA because I know my swing speed is closer to theirs and I would be honored to play half as good as they do.
The range competition is another fun challenge, you pick a yardage and number of points you want to count down from and see who can get to zero first. If you’re practicing with friends, this is a fun challenge that will add a little bit of pressure to practice.
Overall, I’ve enjoyed having the Mevo in my bag and I believe it’s helped me to make better decisions on the course by providing me with my actual carry numbers.
On Course 20/20
The Good, The Bad, and The In-between
It’s been great to be able to look at my numbers and find out what my true carry yardages are. I think sometimes as golfers we only look at our best shots and base our decisions on how we once hit our 7 iron 170 six years ago. (True story)
It’s a fact in this game that we have to clear hazards whether it’s a bunker or water and it’s nice to know what club to use to keep from losing strokes or our ball.
I do wish FlightScope would have provided a longer charging cable so I don’t have to make adjustments to plug it in. I didn’t mind buying a separate battery pack to charge the Mevo, I can use it when I am traveling or if the power goes out to make sure my phone stays charged.
Overall, I do believe that I am hitting the ball better now that I have an understanding of my yardages and am making better club decisions on the course. Now, if it only had putting metrics…
The Good, The Bad, and The In-between 19/20
Play It or Trade It
The Mevo has made practice fun and I believe has helped motivate improvement in my game. I’m getting hard numbers that I can take to the course and base my decisions on and not just guess on what club to use.
I believe knowledge is a major key to improvement and the FlightScope is helping me become a better golfer and it’s a great tool to have in the bag.
Play It or Trade It 20/20
Conclusion
The FlightScope Mevo is a fantastic launch monitor for a golfer who doesn’t want to spend a small fortune on a monitor. It’s accurate on good strikes and can still give you an idea of how well you could have hit the ball if it didn’t slice off the map.
The charging cable is my biggest issue with the unit, but if you have a battery pack that problem is minor.
Do I believe that it can help improve your game? Yes! I think if you can do anything to make practice fun that you’ll be more likely to get out and work on your game.
The skill challenges are my favorite feature simply because they add pressure to practice and dealing with pressure on the range can bleed over to the course to help you when faced with a challenge.
While the metrics aren’t as robust as the Mevo+, it provides you with the most important ones to your game.
Final Score 96/100

Introduction:
First of all, I would like to give a huge thanks to MSG for this opportunity. I have been a member of MSG since November of 2023 and always wanted to be selected for a testing, but I never thought that it was going to come this quick.
My name is Luis D. Davila (luisddavila). I was born and raised in the enchanted island of Puerto Rico. I al currently married to Monica (20 years this 8th of January) and a father of two teenagers, Cristian (16) and Daniela (14). I joined the United States Army in June 1998 and currently stationed in Fort Knox, KY as the First Sergeant for the 83rd United States Army Readiness Training Academy I am pursuing a master’s degree in organizational leadership. Throughout my career I had deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom to Afghanistan (2003-2004), Operation Iraqi Freedom to Iraq (2006-2007), Operation New Dawn to Iraq (2010-2011), and Operation Inherent Resolve to Iraq (2015-2016).
My passion for golf, well I started playing golf around spring of 2021 when I moved to Fort Gregg-Adams (former Fort Lee) in Virginia. I was always surrounded by people that played golf, but I always thought that it was a boring game and not even the fact that I could drink while playing got my attention. When I PCS’ed to Virginia all the friends I had played golf, so I had no other option, but to give it a try. My GOD!! What was I missing my whole life? And then was when this toxic relationship started. I always describe it like that because, man it is a hate-and-love relationship LOL, because I hate days but for some reason I keep coming back to play. Then I learned about Top Golf (bad choice) then my son fell in love with the game. Since he was born, I looked for things that we could do together that would help us bond, but nothing got his attention as he was into video games. Surprisingly he got hooked with the game, stopped playing video games, and was all about watching videos of how to swing the clubs and how to improve the game. He got so good quickly that he made his first birdie before he made his first PAR. He currently plays for North Hardin HS (KY) and Junior PGA (KY) and yes, he beats me by at least 10 strokes and out drive me by 50+ yards.
I am a high handicap golfer (20.4), but like I said before, I play and shoot 87 then come back next day and shoot 110 (hate-and-love), and yes it happened to me on the Veteran’s Golf tournament in 2023. I try to play as much as the weather here allows me because Kentucky weather it is LOCO! I play most of the time at Lindsey Golf Course (Fort Knox, KY), by the way, I hate it as this course will challenge your abilities to play golf. Also, I like to try new courses, so I have played in Indiana and this 2024 I am planning to play in Ohio and Tennessee so @Sirbe ready!! I am a member of Veterans Golf Association (VGA) KY, Fairways for Warriors (VA), and a graduate of PGA Hope (KY).
Testing:
As any golfer I want to see if the distances I think I carry are accurate. Every time I am at the golf course and get my distance from my Garmin watch, it is a gamble as I am either short or long, so I want to make sure that I get accurate distance with the Mevo. I currently play with Callaway Rogue ST Max OS (regular flex Graphite shaft) 5 through PW, Cleveland RTX Zip Core (52/56/60) wedges, Mavrik (stiff shaft) Driver, Mavrik (regular flex) 3-Wood, and Mavrik (regular flex) 4-Hybrid. I am planning to set up my net indoors and hit all my clubs to get an average data for each. Then I will take the Mevo to the course to verify the data and understand what conditions impacts the distances while playing outside (hopefully by then I will not be sort or long to the green LOL). Additionally, I will use old clubs, Ping ISI (white dot) to see if there is any huge change in the data.
I am looking forward to this testing so if you have any additional questions or any other way that you would like me to test, do not hesitate to message me and I will try my best to answer your questions.
MEVO Testing Here I GO!
First Impression 10/10:
Well as any other member had said, this device is TINY LOL. Thanks to @Lacassem for the quick shipping! The item came well padded (like I said once Safety First, Safety ALWAYS)
I will say that FlighScope ensured that you understand that you are getting a Top Notch item as the message on the lid will let you know from the beginning what you will get from the device.
"FlightScope technology is developed to offer you performance data you can trust in your pursuit of excellence" - Henri Johnson (Founder & CEO)
Its size becomes handy because it will not take much space if you want to take it to the golf course. Mevo it is so small and lightweight. It's easy to carry and transport, fitting into a golf bag or even a pocket.
After getting it unboxed I went and charge it, the charging time takes about two hours which it is not that bad as the battery will give you at least 4 hours of usage. The Mevo is powered by a rechargeable battery, which eliminates the need for a constant power source, allowing you to use it on the golf course or driving range without worrying about electrical outlets, which it is a plus.
Getting the device connected to your phone through the application it is very simple. At first, I had a bit of issue getting it connected as I did not have the right device in the app as it defaulted to another device and not the Mevo, but after clicking on the settings and selected the appropriate device, it downloaded the updated firmware and connected with the Mevo instantly. In the settings you can update your equipment (clubs) by brand, but not to specific club model.
In order to get more accurate data you have to make sure that you have between 6' and 7' (more accuracy at 7") from the ball to the Mevo. Again, the instruction's pamphlet will tell you the set up, but the app will allow you to set it to the distance where you have the device. Also, within the settings you have the option to change the altitude, outdoors, indoors (40 yards or less), and pitching (20yards or less).
One thing that I found interesting on the app, is the players setting. In there you can add more people during your session (stay tuned)
I had some Wilson Premium range balls that I will use indoors for my testing as well as Titleist PRO V1s. After setting my net up, I decided o hit couple of balls. From that I can tell you that it was amazing how you get feedback from the device instantly. After you pick what club and the type of ball you are hitting, you do not have to touch de device unless you are switching either. When you click on "Start New Session" the app will tell you "ready" then when you hit the ball, it tells you the distance and will let you know again when is ready. A great feature because you do not have to go back to your phone and click anything until you are going to change equipment.
I have not played much with the video feature on the app as I have been busy with work (1SG's life LOL), but I downloaded the app and will definitely will try it and give you guys my feedback.
Aesthetics 10/10
I do not have any complaints with the unit. The MEVO’s size is perfect and can even fit in your pocket. Its design is sleek and compact. Designed to be portable and easy to set up. Overall, it looks clean.
The Numbers 16/20
When it came to numbers, the MEVO showed inconsistency with the numbers. I tried multiple set ups, such as different distances form the ball, current altitude vs sea level, and numbers were not consistent. At the range I picked targets to verify the distance with my range finder and at times MEVO data was off by 10 yards on average. In addition, I compared it the numbers while at the course with my Garmin watch and data was not accurate either. I looked up multiple reviews online because I was not getting accurate numbers with longer clubs, such as fairway woods and specially with my driver. I found out that the higher the club speed the bigger discrepancy.
Good note, the instructions are easy to understand, and it guides you step by step for set up. It also explains the “Do’s” and “Don’ts” so you can minimize data error. When it comes to charging, it charges in a couple of hours and a full charge lasted me for 3 or 4 sessions of 1-1.5 hours each and it lasted throughout a whole 18-hole game. But I will say that it should have a longer cable as it comes with a very short cable.
On Course 18/20
As I mentioned before, it is easy to set up and you can carry it even in your pocket. I tested the MEVO indoors and outdoors. In both environment I used different settings (6 feet vs 7 feet) to test the differences between them.
From this inside setting there was a difference of 7 yards (average) from both settings.
Features:
Full swing session: one of the best features in this session is that you can add multiple people to the session, chose clubs that you are hitting, and you get instant feedback from the shot by voice and data that displays on the screen of your phone or tablet. PGA Challenge: it is a great feature, but you need to choose a challenge that is close to your swing speed (PGA vs LPGA) to be able to compare your numbers fairly. I see this feature as a fun way to spice up your practice routine because it will add some excitement to your session. It also provides valuable feedback on your shots, helping you improve your game in the process. Range Competition: the best aspect of this feature is that allows you to choose from different competitions, such as longest drive, closest to the pin, and allows you to custom a competition, like numbers of shots, what clubs, and select the mode. Again, a great feature to develop swing speed and knowing how far you can hit your clubs. The Good the Bad and the in Between 19/20
The Good: I would say that overall, it is a good tool to have if you want to see your average distances. From my experience while using the MEVO, it boosted my confidence 200% when hitting a club. The data provided from the device allowed me to know how far (average) I was able to hit a club, whereas before I always guessed between clubs, and this for me has been the greatest take away from it. Also, its portability, I was able to take it to the course and set it up before shots, which it is amazing.
The Bad: I would say that it has limited features. The MEVO gives golfers minimum data and analysis compared to other launch monitors around the same price range. From testing I notice that it does not work well in certain weather conditions, as I used it on a cloudy day, and it was not reading shots at all.
The in Between: well for its price and portability, you cannot complain. I have mixed emotions with the MEVO as I enjoyed using it because it boosted my confidence at the course, but I felt that it is missing some accuracy.
Play it or Trade it 20/20
I will say that the MEVO is a keeper for many reasons. First, it is very affordable if you want to get a monitor that does not cost you a fortune, that will give you enough data to improve your game, and mostly that it is easy to carry and set up. Adding the MEVO to your golf tools will make your boring range practices more fun as you can switch from modes as well to add friends to compare data, even more to make it a competition. As I mentioned before, the MEVO helped me boost my confidence 200% as now I know how far I am, and I just grab a club and hit it without second guessing if I have the right club.
I feel that this product will benefit a golfer that wants to know how far he/she could hit their clubs. As I mentioned in the initial testing post. I intend to use the MEVO with my son’s golf high school team during this season to help them with their distances at the range. I think that by them having data that will show them these numbers will enable them to improve their game. At the same time, I will continue to use it myself so I can improve my game and hopefully I become a better golfer.
Conclusion 93/100
Overall, the FlighScope MEVO is a solid choice for gofers that are looking for a portable and affordable launch monitor. It is a great golf training aid to have on your bag. Even though at times it gives erratic data, it is consistent with your average distances and data parameters. That we can find flaws with the system? Yes, but it will allow you to establish a baseline or at least a basic understanding of how you perform with the equipment in your bag. I feel that I benefited from this testing, and I will suggest beginner golfers to look into this product as it will be beneficial to their game. Can FlightScope improve the MEVO? Of course, but with minimal changes such as longer charging cables and possibly a more updated port from the Mini USB to a Type-C as most of the modern devices.
Also, it is important to consider the MEVO’s limitations, such as its relatively basic features compared to more advance models, its primarily outdoor use, and its limited connectivity options. While these drawbacks may not be significant to many users, they are worth keeping in mind when evaluating the MEVO. But, if you are looking for a budget-friendly launch monitor that delivers data and it is easy to use, the FlightScope MEVO is a great choice.

Flightscope Mevo Personal Launch Monitor - MGS Forum Review by Connor (Byrnzee) Byrne:
Introduction:
First off, I want to thank MGS for this massive opportunity. I know that this was one of the most sought-after tests to date and I'm incredibly honored to be selected. This is my first testing opportunity for the Forum and I will do whatever it takes to get the best results possible for this awesome community.
My name is Connor Byrne - Byrnzee has always been a family nickname and something my friends have called me growing up. I currently live in Chicago, IL with my wife but grew up in Syracuse, NY. My dad has always been a great golfer and got me into the game at a young age. He never forced the game on me, but instead made it available and fun (which is the best way to do it).
I have been a golf addict for as long as I can remember and this Forum has been a great place to nerd out and get my golf fix between rounds. I joined earlier this year after my brother-in-law @Swood1994 told me about the great community here. I'm happy to say I've been welcomed with open arms and have found a place where my passion for golf is supported and praised instead of diminished.
I had always considered myself a "golfer," but never had formal lessons prior to this year. I had found a way over the years to make solid contact with the ball, shoot decent scores and have fun along the way. However, I was looking for more consistency and I decided earlier this year to completely revamp my swing. This lead to a series of ups and downs with my handicap getting much worse before getting better. I'm happy to say that at the end of the year, I ended up with my lowest recorded handicap ever at 9.1.
Now enter the Mevo test.
Prior to the journey to become a more consistent golfer with a better swing, my data knowledge of my own game was minimal. I knew approximately how far I could hit each club, but it was mostly a guessing game. Since taking lessons earlier this year, I've learned more about swing path, club face impact, spin rates, ball speed, etc. that I know all have significant impacts on where that little white ball ends up.
I had been wanting to get my hands on a portable launch monitor, but sadly it wasn't in the budget this year. When I saw this opportunity arise with MGS, I kept my fingers crossed hoping I'd be one of the lucky few.
For my testing purposes, I'll be utilizing a year-round driving range near my house as well as an indoor simulator with Trackman for comparing data. I'm incredibly excited to get data on every club in my bag and get those figures dialed in.
As @Josh Parker mentioned already, there are 8 data parameters provided by the launcher as well as skill challenges available. It's incredibly impressive that you can get all of this data out of something that fits in the palm of your hand. Especially at this price point, it almost seems too good to be true!
I'm incredibly excited to put this device through the ringer and come out on the other side with a boatload of data and feedback.
If anyone has any questions or would like to know more about how I'll be testing, feel free to comment or shoot me a message!

When the box arrived, I felt like a kid waking up on Christmas morning. The weather in Chicago this time of year can only be described as "opposite of golf weather." Having the opportunity to test the Mevo and give myself an excuse to hit balls consistently throughout the off-season is a dream.
The Mevo box arrived in a larger USPS box with plenty of bubble wrap to protect the precious cargo (shoutout @GolfSpy_BNG for the safe arrival). The actual Mevo box was pretty small compared to what I expected. I think I had in my head that the Mevo was about the size of my hand... more on that to come in a bit
I really loved the design of the box. As others have mentioned previously, it has a magnetic flap that helps everything seem secure inside. The mantra of "practice with purpose" and the definition of Mevo on the outside were some nice touches to the overall aesthetic.
Inside the box, you will find a quote by Henri Johnson, Found & CEO of FlightScope
You'll also find a user manual, which contains a lot of helpful information as you're trying to interpret what the device does and how to set it up. In addition to the user manual, you'll receive a quick start guide that will get you up and running once your Mevo arrives:
As others have mentioned, you need metallic stickers on the balls in order for the Mevo to accurately read the data, especially while hitting balls inside. While there are other alternatives to these stickers available, it's nice that they are included in the package so you can get started right away when your Mevo arrives.
Now onto the actual monitor! As I stated above, I was shocked by how small this device was. I had seen other posts from testers, with them even having the monitor next to golf balls as reference, but for some reason I didn't put two and two together. This device doesn't even cover my palm (and I have small hands).
Now the small size wasn't a letdown by any means. I was just shocked that this tiny device can be used as a personal launch monitor on the go. It fits neatly in my golf bag without taking up much room and I can even throw it in my pocket as I'm walking out the door.
Size aside, the build quality on the Mevo is top notch. The device feels very sturdy and the design is very clean. The kick stand on the back falls neatly in a notch to get you that appropriate angle for setup.
In addition to the user manual, quickstart guide and metallic stickers, the kit also comes with a short charger (USB Type A to Mini USB) and a cool pouch to carry your Mevo and protect it from general wear and tear. I threw the charging cord and the Mevo in the pouch and both fit easily. There's a drawstring on the pouch as well to ensure your valuables are secure.
I will say although I understand the length of the charging cord from a packaging standpoint, it is a bit inconvenient. I would have preferred at least a 6 inch cord. However, it's not a deal breaker as I wouldn't be using the Mevo while it's charging anyways. I can imagine some people with outlets on the walls having their Mevo dangling in freefall or having to place something underneath the outlet to hold it. I could always buy a longer cord off Amazon for less than $10, so again, not a deal breaker but something I noted as a potential improvement.
In addition, I would've liked to see a USB A to USB C cord included instead of the Micro USB. I'm not sure if the Mevo+ or their other devices will be moving to a USB C cord, but since that seems to be the worldwide direction for future technology, it would be more convenient to not have to keep track of several different types of cables.
There you have it, folks! Everything that came included in this tiny box:
I'm very impressed with the overall packaging of the Mevo and the build quality of the monitor. I'm going to give my first impressions of the device an A grade.
I'm excited to start trying it out and getting my distances dialed in!
Aesthetics (9/10):
I was very impressed with the overall look of the Mevo. The branding was very clean, the packaging was of high quality and the device itself seems very sturdy for such a small size.
I would say that it isn't the flashiest personal launch monitor on the market. It lacks a bit in style and flair, but if that isn't something you care about, I don't believe it takes away from the experience.
It does seem like Flightscope is probably taking some inspiration from other devices in the space for future products like the Mevo+ Limited Edition. I'll be very interested to see what design and aesthetic changes they make in the future!
I don't think I would make too many changes to the aesthetic of the device. I think you could make the device look more futuristic and technological, but I don't think it is necessary. I believe the aesthetic fits the function of the device. Simple, concise, efficient and effective.
People definitely notice when you're using the device. Although it's small, it's hard to ignore when in use. I've been asked several times by people at the simulator and people on the driving range about it. People have been fascinated by how such a small device could be a personal launch monitor.
The Numbers (17/20):
Overall, the data you receive from the Mevo is incredibly impressive. You can receive instant feedback from hitting a ball within seconds. The default view is the "Dashboard," which is actually my favorite view available. You can rearrange these fields however you prefer and easily navigate between shots with the arrows shown in the bottom right:
In addition to the Dashboard view, you have a table available to see a detailed data table comparing all of the shots hit for a particular club:
There is also a summary view that can be used to see the averages for each club hit during a particular session:
Lastly, you can see a side view that helps you visualize your flight trajectory during a session:
It is incredibly helpful to have all of this data available at your fingertips. I mentioned above in my introduction, but I have never really focused on data when golfing. I knew approximately how far I carried each club, but it was mostly just a guess (and was probably often overstated).
By using this Mevo over the winter, I was able to get much more confident with my distances, which helped me get better with club selection on the course. I would highly recommend everyone looking to improve their golf game to use a launch monitor. You might assume you hit your clubs certain distances, but actually be mistaken.
In addition, using the Mevo can help you understand your average shot. Golf is a game of averages. You're not always going to hit your best iron shot. You may hit an absolute perfect 8 iron 160 yards, but you hit an average 8 iron 150 yards. This data can really help shave strokes off your game.
To be honest, my expectations for the actual data from this device was fairly low. Most of my testing was done in comparison to a Trackman 4 launch monitor, which costs north of $20,000 USD. How can this tiny device that costs less than $500 possibly compete?
The answer surprised me and I'm sure will surprise you as well. The data doesn't lie and the Mevo goes toe-to-toe with the Trackman 4 in nearly every data category available for both devices. I did a more in-depth head-to-head comparison between the two devices here, where I hit about 50 shots with an 8-iron and tracked the data between the two devices.
That test used five datapoints that were available on both devices: Carry Distance, Club Speed, Ball Speed, Smash Factor, and Spin Rate. I won't post all of the graphs from that specific test here, but here's an overlap of carry distance between both devices:
You can see from the graph above that these shots were nearly identical in carry distance between the two devices for 12 shots. There will always be outliers in these datasets, but you can be confident that the data you're receiving from the Mevo is materially accurate.
The one area related to numbers that has been a bit of a disappointment is with the driver. I really struggled to get the Mevo to produce similar data points to what I was seeing with the Trackman 4.
One thing that is incredibly crucial with the Mevo is setup of the device. You need to ensure that the Mevo is at the same level as the ball being struck. When I was doing the majority of my testing, the Mevo was resting on the turf at the exact same level as the ball.
However, when you tee up a ball to hit a driver, the Mevo is no longer on the same plane as the ball and the device struggles to accurately read the shot. I attempted to fix this by placing the Mevo on a box that was approximately the same height as the tee; I still struggled to get accurate data. As you can see in the screenshots above, many datapoints such as club speed and smash factor could not even be produced from a driver session.
This disconnect in the data between the two devices could have been due to a variety of factors: the simulator I used for testing only had bright overhead lighting at the area of impact; the Trackman and Mevo were both in more shadowed areas. However, when the data for every other club in my bag was incredibly close to the Trackman data, I was a bit letdown by the Mevo driver data.
That being said, driver is the one club in my bag I'm not as concerned about how far it is going to a specific yardage. If the Mevo data says I hit my driver 265 yards and the Trackman says 255 yards, the difference shouldn't affect your plan for 99% of the holes you play. The main reason I said the driver data was disappointing was in comparison to the other clubs. The driver could be off by 10-15 yards at times, while all other clubs were mostly accurate within one yard!!
Overall, I don't think the driver inaccuracy would deter me from buying this device. If you're entering a long drive competition and need your driving data to be greater than 95% accurate, you may disagree. Otherwise, I was extremely impressed by the data I received throughout my testing, especially as it compared to a top-of-the-line launch monitor.
On the Course (20/20):
I strongly believe that where the Mevo really shines is on the driving range. The limitations of this device are amplified when only hitting into a net or at a simulator. You're not necessarily able to tell where the ball is going, or what the flight path is going to look like.
However, on a range, you're able to see your actually ball flight and path in real-time, while getting instant feedback from the Mevo in regards to distance, spin, club speed, ball speed, etc.
I was able to test the Mevo on a driving range before a round of golf. By doing so, I was able to get my distances dialed in and apply that information to my round. I hit nearly every green-in-regulation and felt extremely confident with my club selection. If I hadn't used the Mevo before that round, I would have gone back to the guessing game that I'm used to playing.
Many players don't understand that your distances can change on any given day due to a variety of factors. Weather, elevation, time of day, etc. can all play a factor. While your 9 iron may go 145 yards in perfect conditions, it may only go 130 yards on the course one day and leave you wondering where your normal yardage disappeared to.
The Mevo is extremely simple to setup on a driving range. My favorite trick for getting the distance right was to use an alignment stick (4' in length) to measure out 6' between the ball and the Mevo. Seconds later I'm hitting balls as I normally do and getting instant feedback to my phone that can help me.
The size of the Mevo is also perfect for leaving in your golf bag without having to worry about It taking up too much room. I hope to continue to use the Mevo on the driving range to practice as well as warming up before rounds. In my opinion, it is the perfect driving range launch monitor for a casual golfer.
The Good, the Bad and the In-Between (19/20):
The Good: the simplicity of the device makes it easy for any golfer of any skill level to instantly receive feedback about their game. With how small it is, it's incredibly easy to bring with you to the course or driving range. The data you receive from the device is impressively accurate in comparison to more expensive launch monitors.
The Bad: set-up is crucial almost to a fault. If the device is not at exactly the same level as the ball and exactly six feet behind the impact area, you may not receive accurate data. Driver data is hard to get perfectly accurate even when set-up correctly.
The In-Between: there are obvious limitations to the regular Mevo launch monitor. Unlike the Mevo+, you cannot see face impact, total distance, club path, face path, shot type, among other data points.
However, if you are looking for a reliable, simple launch monitor that can be used to dial in your carry distances on the range, this is a perfect fit. The Mevo is extremely budget conscious and packs a punch for such a small device.
In addition to the data mentioned above, the Mevo also includes three challenges: 1) PGA Challenge, 2) Range Competition and 3) Long Drive Competition.
The PGA Challenge lets you compare your data to the pros! You can pick either PGA or LPGA and which club(s) you would like to use to compare. It's very cool to see how you stack up versus the pros:
The Range Competition lets you face-off against another player and compete to reach a target number. Each 15-yard increment is worth a certain amount of points. In this example, the first to 500 points would win!
Finally, the Long Drive Competition lets you face-off against an opponent to see who can out-drive the other! This view is similar to the side view you would see for a normal session, but focuses specifically on driver data between players.
Play It or Trade It? (19/20):
I will absolutely continue to use the Mevo in both my practice sessions and before rounds on the course. Having this data at my fingertips has helped my game tremendously and will continue to do so into the future. The only reason I didn't give this a 20/20 in this section is because of the limitations of the device. In comparison to the Mevo+, you aren't able to get all of the data I believe would be necessary in order to fully understand how to improve your game (swing path, face impact, etc).
Conclusion:
Buy This If: you are looking for a personal launch monitor that is budget-friendly, easy to bring with you anywhere, can provide accurate data, and help you better understand your golf game. This device can give you instant feedback on the driving range to help dial in your distances.
Don't Buy This If: you're looking for a personal launch monitor that can provide you realistic flight path and potentially be used for a simulator setup. This device lacks the necessary data and technology to give you a comprehensive picture of each golf shot.
Final Score: 93/100
I can't thank the MGS Staff enough for allowing me to participate in this test. I hope that through my testing I was able to share some insight for interested Forum members. I have throughly enjoyed getting to learn more about my own golf game and sharing this journey with you all!

Rtracymog got a reaction from sirchunksalot in FlightScope Progression Series: 2023 Forum Member Review
I know the feeling of letting golf slip away with two youngsters at home! I've got a 10 and 7 year old and I feel like 2023 was the least amount of golf I've ever played. I hope that this is accurate and it helps you get back to that low single digit number from before!

Rtracymog reacted to Josh Parker in FlightScope Progression Series: 2023 Forum Member Review
Introduction:
I want to first say thanks to MGS and FlightScope for this incredible opportunity. My name is Josh (hence the screen name) and I am out of Austin, Texas. Born and raised. I got involved in this great community just by chance, looking through some articles and it has been amazing. Just about everyone on here has been helpful, knowledgeable and most of all kind. In today’s social media world, it’s a pleasant surprise.
I live in a small lakeside golf course community just north of Austin. I am married and have two small children. My seven-year-old son has shown some interest in golf, but he really enjoys going out on the course and just hanging out with me and filling the divots. My almost three-year-old daughter (going on 21) loves to ride in the “tart tart” and trying to hit the golf ball like daddy.
For work, my wife and I are both in real estate. I made the decision almost 4 years ago to pursue this career in order to have more time with my kids while they are young. Leaving behind a great career in construction was a major decision but one that I don’t regret for a second.
I started playing golf about 20 years ago in a small town because some co-workers asked me to play. Being a lefty, I didn’t have any clubs but one of the guys that worked in the clubhouse was a lefty and had an extra set that he gave me to play with. They were the Wilson Staff Deep Red Tour irons. I was instantly hooked by the challenge and the opportunity to get better. I would play three or four times a week and was down to a 3-handicap playing with the local “noon” group. My best round was a 2 under 70 with a birdie on 9 and 18 and I remember all the old guys throwing a fit because I was moving back to Austin, and they wouldn’t be able to win their money back. It didn’t matter that they had taken my money for years, so I declined the few bucks and had them sign the scorecard. Once back in Austin, golf eluded me for a number of years, only playing occasionally when I would get the opportunity, but I knew I wanted to get back to the game.
Fast forward to this past year and a half, I get to play or practice golf just about every day and my handicap is down to a 5. If you have seen my posts or thread about my goals and pursuit of earning the coveted “break 70” badge, you also know my struggles with the driver.
This brings me to the Mevo testing.
FlightScope’s tagline states: Practice with purpose using FlightScope Mevo – an accurate, portable, and affordable launch monitor that gives golfers performance data they can trust.
Can a sub $500 launch monitor really improve my game?
Can it help me finally stop hating my driver?
I will be equipping the Mevo with the iPad app and utilizing it primarily at the range but also have the net set up in the backyard to do testing.
Mevo offers 8 data parameters that I will be collecting data from on day one until the testing is complete in order to see if I can take this information and make the necessary changes to my swing to improve my numbers.
Carry Distance, Spin Rate, Club Speed, Ball Speed, Vertical Launch, Smash Factor, Apex Height, Flight Time
For testing purposes, I will be using 3 clubs and the lucky participants are, PW, 7I, and Driver.
Mevo doesn’t just offer data, they also offer skills challenges so that you can make practicing fun.
FS PGA & LPGA Challenge – Compare your stats to the latest stats of the pros. (This one scares me)
FS Long Drive Challenge – What will this look like at the beginning vs the end of the test?
FS Range Challenge – All about distance control and makes for a fun practice round.
If there are particular things that you want to know or see tested, please leave a comment or shoot me a message.
First Impressions
When the UPS guy showed up at the house, we were expecting two packages. The Mevo and the wife's watch.
I was shocked that the watch box was twice the size of the Mevo. I started to wonder what was actually sent to me.
Upon opening the box, the first thing I saw was high quality packaging. The box is magnetic, and the presentation was great!
It comes with a charging cord, quickstart quide, protective pouch and metallic dots.
It is amazing that such a small unit can pack so much data and I am excited to see how accurate it will be and how it can improve my game.
I give it an A+ for my initial impression.
Conclusion:
Because this is an ongoing test, I will save the full review of the Mevo until all tests have been completed but for now, here are my thoughts.
Mevo states: Practice with purpose using FlightScope Mevo – an accurate, portable, and affordable launch monitor that gives golfers performance data they can trust.
FlightScope has accomplished their tagline with the Mevo, and being priced at just under $500 with no yearly fee, it makes it one of the cheapest launch monitors out on the market today. I found that the Mevo was extremely accurate with the data points that it offers. Being able to easily take it to the range, on the course or at home hitting into a net and have the ability to collect data that is valuable. I was able to make sure that my bag is dialed in with the correct distances as well as figure out any gaps in my bag. I had the ability to play the Range Competition that will let you dial in specific distances and repeat your swing all while playing a game. I could test my numbers to the numbers of PGA professionals and even attempt a Long Drive Competition.
While the Mevo accomplishes what I believe they set out to do in this price point, I do think it has a few things that I would have liked to have seen. It was missing dispersion and while most of my testing was at the driving range for me to see ball flight, hitting in to a net, you would miss that data for truly improving ball flight and ball striking. I also wish that it had some type of simulator included with it. Some of the other LM out there in similar price categories offer the ability to play rounds. I think many people get launch monitors to practice during the cold months where outside golf is not available and it is an item with the Mevo that I think brings some of the value down.
Overall, the Mevo is an accurate unit and one that can really improve your golf game. It’s price point and portability make it a must have for anyone wanting to enter the launch monitor world on a budget and with no yearly fees. I am looking forward to testing out the Mevo+ and seeing how the additional data points, including the face impact and pro package can improve my golf game.

Lacassem – MEVO (2024)
Introduction to Lacassem (12/19/23):
For anyone that does not know me my name is Mark Lacasse, father of 2 children and 2 dogs, and married to my fantastic wife of 7 years who puts up with my golf addiction, even when it comes to putting up a temporary tent to house my off-season goals of getting practice in daily. She just laughs from the bathroom window of how silly my addiction to the game is, which is shown below under standard family photo, edited of course!
I have been a part of MGS for a few years and have discussed a broad range of topics with so many folks here. It has become my everyday portal instead of Facebook and Instagram which is great. I get to talk with like minded folks and even unwind a little bit. A very nice distraction we have here!
My golf game is the best it has been currently. I have my struggles during the year, but it has been extremely consistent (score wise) which is a beautiful thing, I have dropped my handicap to sub 5 from a 6 in 2023. My consistency is off the tee, putting and as of this year my wedges/short game which has been such a great thing to have. My woes come on approaches which I am consistently short or just not making the shots I need to between the tee and green. I am really hoping to take that leap forward in the coming year.
I live in the Northeast, so the golf season is typically short even though I was able to play at least once every month in 2023, but that is so rare. In the offseason I am typically working out and working on my short game, but lucky for me that is all about to change!
The standard review golf swing, this is of course a golf forum:
Pre-Test Thoughts (12/19/23):
Enough of me, let’s get into the test! I am not a data junky, but I know when I hit a ball well and when I do not. With that said here are my thoughts initially:
Can the MEVO provide accurate enough data to me that shows me what is happening on good shots and those that are not so great? With that data am I able to find ways to improve my game? Does this piece of equipment provide great feedback at the base level, or do you need the whole shebang to get good quality feedback? This is probably the most important for me, Do I improve in 2024, this would be the only thing that changes on my off season work this year, so I can blame the addition of the work I put in with the MEVO on my improvements or lack thereof. (*This will be more of a long-term look but I think I will be able to get a good feel on if my good shots are happening more often, if I am getting some more accurate shots and improving distance.*) This is just a bonus in my opinion, but can I have some friends and get some simulator games in with? Again, this is just a bonus if its functional and I can do some Thursday night league stuff! There are so many functions on this equipment that I do not see it being a problem! I will be adding to this as I go, but this is my initial thought process going into the test and am really looking forward to diving headfirst into trying to improve my game! LETS GOOOOOOO!
First Impressions (12/23/23):
Like my fellow testers, the package arrived and I was super pumped. Was also very surprised at how small the unit is. Nice being portable since my setup is not permanent! The packaging is premium and came with everything I needed to get going. Carrying case, charging cord, instructions and the metallic stickers for the ball (thought I was going to have to buy these so was a pleasant surprise).
Unit is incredibly easy to setup. Downloaded the APP and was able to connect to my iPhone in less than five minutes. It is very clear when the unit is connected (orange is searching, blue is connected to a device). A++ for the APP and ease of setup.
Rest of the APP is very straightforward and easy to use from what I can tell.
Got my first 9 swings in and as far as I can tell initially very accurate. I added a metallic sticker to my gamer and away we went. Had middle of the road shots (was hitting of a 2x2 rug square), a few good ones and a terrible one. All picked up great and numbers are what I would expect from.
Took some screenshots of the good shots and bad shots. Like I said quick look through everything looks like I would expect. When I got a hold of one looks about right, and when I almost missed the ball, it went all 19.5 yds I expected.
Very happy with the MEVO so far. Simple and straightforward. Cannot wait to get into some details after Christmas and get some good sessions in. Until then, don't mind my dirty club...They get used alot:
Conclusion (96 out of 100) 1/8/2024
Just a little TL:DR wrap up so we do not take away from the next group of testers!
As always here is my “snopes” version of this review.
This unit is fantastic. My goal with this equipment would be to make sure I am continuing to get better during the off season. I think it will do just that. Not only was it great for me but I had my son out swinging several times and it kept him really engaged and wanting to improve, he would not finish a session without getting a good swing and contact on the ball. For that alone the price tag is worth it. The biggest AHA moment for me was once I shipped the unit off to the next tester, I found myself swinging which is still great but was really missing the data aspect of it.
The challenge features are just enough to keep swinging fun and swap out the monotony of just doing range sessions daily. Competing with others can keep you motivated and pushing towards your goals while still providing great data.
There are other units out there that are a little more expensive and have a few more features but this data for me was unparalleled and all I would need to keep myself improving. Ease of operation was streamlined, and the app was fantastic for digesting data. In a word SIMPLE.
If you are in the market for a personal launch monitor that has almost no barrier to entry (especially if you have a garage with a hitting net or just want to use it at the range) this is your device. I have no doubt that if your goal is to get swing work in the off season and analyze some data that this unit will 100% get you better for the course.

This doesn't mean anything. The default bore diameter for 355 irons is 9mm. If you go to 10mm, it's a "universal bore" for 370 and 355.
The neck lines are purely decorative and are offered from the OEM/ODM as a finishing option. Nobody actually puts these intot he 3D cad model, just like they don't with face end milling patterns.
The material finish is RAW. The head material is 431 stainless steel, which is a common cheaper per lb of material item. The OEM/ODMs offer different metals for different baseline pricing, such as SAE 1020/S20, SAE 1025/S25, etc. With regards to the finishing options, the OEM/ODMs offer standard options such as
Nickel Chrome Electroplating Nickel Electroplating QPQ Salt-Bath Nitride AKA Diamonized Black Metal Raw (None) Physical Vapor Deposition (Generally used for 'Copper' like colors or Mizuno Blue) With regards to surface pre-coat finishing, they generally offer
