Of course, but given their history of lack of communications, I can only be pessimistic about their promise. (Why did they send the shipping update email asking for which sports I will use mevo for? They didn't even do auto-respond so I have no idea if my reply went thru or not)

 

I run a business and this is very not a good way to do communication with your customers.

 

 

IMO, I hate the auto responses. It drives me crazy that I have to bother deleting an email just so they can tell me they got it. Most of these mailboxes are setup properly and spam filters will not block responses from addresses in their mail lists.

 

Just because you own a business doesn't mean that all your ideas are how they should handle things.

 

 

Regarding being able to read spin without stickers, if you want anything remotely accurate you should use stickers. I'm sure the radar is much weaker than the X Series, and they really need stickers for indoor mode. I see this as no exception if you want to see any valuable spin number.

 

Wundej, You have to be from Philly! I have family over there and they talk the same way. They have to disagree with at least one thing someone says or they are not happy. I'm just picturing my step mom talking with her hands while stirring her Sunday Gravy, *with the south Philly accent* "Now Hondy, Juoust because you owns a business doesn't mean that all your ideas are how they should handle things, Look at your uncle Bobby, It took him 3 car dealerships later to figure his s#%t out and now look at him". Lol, you crack me up!

 

I'm definitely not from philly, but I'll disagree with you just for old times sake.

Is the Mevo functional without the app? If not, as soon as they start shipping, this thread will be about the waiting game for the app to come out (on each platform). Then it will be about why its taking so long to fix the bugs they didn't fix because they rushed it to market...

We will all see if it requires the app or or not. When it comes to iPhone apps, remember the developer is at the mercy of Apple's review and approval process. Depending where you live, you might receive it a day or two before the app is available. There has been too much meaningless b***hing and moaning is this thread, so I am not going to worry about if I have to wait a day or two.

There's a good chance the app is already submitted, approved, and held for developer release.

Sticker required for outdoor use as well?? That'd be annoying. I'm a FS fan and owner, but I'm not sure I see the point of the Mevo....

Pretty sure that FS said they are required for accurate spin numbers for all locations. This isn't the same radar as the bigger units and doesn't track anywhere near full flight. We are assuming it isn't strong enough to get enough readings for long enough distance to provide true spin without the stickers.

 

The mevo is targeted at those that want to get a few core parameters MEASURED that other similarly priced units usually measure one or two and calculate the others. I personally feel that if I didn't have an X2, I wouldn't buy a Mevo, but would look at an Xi series or GC2. Not everyone wants to spend that much, so if the mevo delivers on the parameters that they say with the relative accuracy that we have see from FS in the past, they could have a great product for yardage gaps and ball striking.

One of the re-tweets I read while searching Twitter stated that they were able to use the Mevo without the stickers and the numbers were fairly good. Would be easy enough to test if you are at a driving range if they have all the same balls. Hit 2 or 3 with stickers on then the rest without and just adjust your yardages. I would hope it wouldn't be thousands of rpms off if you are not using the stickers but who knows.

YAY...finally we are going to get some reviews...Cant wait to here what y'all think!

 

Also, don't forget to try a metallic sharpie to see if that does anything--doubt it but just maybe!

I was thinking the same thing about the sharpie. It might work, just depends how reflective it needs to be I guess.

 

Can't wait to here.. starting to look for a personal launch monitor for fittings, etc, so Im wondering if this will fit the bill beyond the 2,000-18,000 range..

A commercial where they make absolutely zero mention of what the product does nor show any screen shots of the app. Brilliant.

 

Some real time action would of been too much to ask for a static model. None of the LED's on the unit were on through the whole video unless they are super dim. Just throwing bread to the peasants I guess. The reviews from the GolfWRX community should paint a better picture for everyone.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but using range balls with any monitor that calculates distance needs to be done with care. Based on experience, the obvious of a slightly lower ball speed was found, but what was most off versus "regular" balls was the spin. In head to head tests using SkyTrak, spin for my 6 iron with range balls was around 2500rpm vs new balls at 5800. This produced about a 20 yard increase for the range balls vs new.

 

Obviously, the brand and age of range balls will effect the spin, but just a warning for those bringing launch monitors to the range.

Never seen range balls travel further than premium balls in my life. There is a difference in spin but also massive difference in ball speeds as well. Range balls do not increase distance off grass quite the opposite.

If you're hitting out if the box brand new Titleist Velocity out of the sleeve vs Prov1x then maybe. Buts that's never the case.

Understood, all I was providing was what the launch monitor was putting out.

 

In the end, the point is be very careful when using a launch monitor and range balls for distances and gapping (as I had seen a few posts saying this was what people were doing).

I have. Especially with wedges/short irons. Range balls launch higher and spin less creating longer carry numbers.

If they are new/newer it's certainly possible. And I'm also talking about actual range balls and not name brand balls stamped with range decals. Balls will make a tremendous difference obviously.

There is one thing about the Mevo that it seems people are missing. Because of the size and placement of the Mevo, it can be used on the course. I would not want to use it on course on a Saturday morning, but if the course is not busy, I would see using it to get numbers using your ball.
