New FlightScope Mevo+ (MERGED)

[knickerbocker]

You hear anything yet Tut?

 

 

[1puttTUT]

No. I think I should email them today...

[motts]

Anyone have one in hand yet and have thoughts? Ordered one last week, so won't get it until late August/September most likely, but looking forward to it

[1puttTUT]

Got my shipping notice this morning ?

[FlashinLeather]

Any additional reviews? Wondering how people are liking the unit overall. I would be very interested to hear any opinions of first time simulator/shot tracker owners. I currently have a hitting bay in my garage and would like to upgrade.

I've had mine for almost a month now, I ordered direct from FS on 2/17. This is my first time owning a launch monitor. I've only used it indoors for now but for the data it provides me and the results I get are very impressive. Only qualms I have with it are when I hit 3 wood or driver, it seems like poor struck or toe struck shots get over spin and curve really sharply left. Otherwise on well struck shots it performs well. I use it with TGC2019 and have a lot of fun playing it or just using the driving ranges for practice. In the month I've had it my driver on the course has gotten much better and my swing speed has gone up almost 6mph from the things I've been working on finally taking effect in my swing.

Mine should be arriving in the next couple weeks. I am looking forward to getting it into action.

My shipping notice was super disappointing fake news. I assumed it was the LM because I'd already received everything else I had ordered. Instead it was a poorly timed free gift lol.

 

[knickerbocker]

I heard shipping times had been delayed again. If you have haven't got yours yet, I might be waiting another month.

[motts]

That's frustrating

[KC4441]

So does Flightscope charge you guys right away or wait until they actually have it ready to ship?

[knickerbocker]

They charge you when you order it. 14 week interest free loan to them. Sucks.

[McKyver]

you can say that again!

[KC4441]

That's what I was afraid of...maybe i'll have to look at going through a different distributor. Thanks.

[knickerbocker]

I ordered one 3/26. Was supposed to ship this week, now being told week of July 13th. I understand lots of things outside their control, but still frustrated.

[motts]

wow. given your order/expected ship date, im going to be waiting until October

[balladm]

I ordered about 1 week after knicker and I have tried to remain patient but this is getting ridiculous.

[knickerbocker]

I just got email said it will ship next week, so not as bad as I thought.

[balladm]

There's still hope

I received my Mevo+ on Friday after ordering late February from Rain Or Shine Golf. I had some high expectations of it, and after one outdoor range session, it has lived up to them. If you are a player serious about your game and looking to get better, in that you actually practice, this is a good investment.

Used it on a full length range and every shot was detected. The stats I was looking at matched up to my time on Trackman earlier this spring. The Apple watch app may be one of the best features, broadcasting a small dashboard immediately to your wrist. Very cool.

Battery life was as expected, at about 60% after a hour of continuous use. My iPhone XS was actually the weakest link, which got too hot from processing data and being out in the direct sun. The iOS app is really well put together and worked seamlessly, except for when my phone overheated.

I'm very happy with my purchase. I know the ship times have been out there, but it's worth it.

[motts]

@JoeEEE Do you have any more info on the Apple Watch app? This is the first Ive seen of it having one, sounds awesome

[JoeEEE]

@motts The Apple Watch app is the applet of “FS Golf” that runs on your phone. My understanding is that it’s just mirroring the data that’s coming in from the connection of phone/Flightscope. The data readout is instant and it’s honestly super convenient just to look at your wrist.
It has 6 tiles where data is displayed, which for me is plenty. As I learn more about using a launch monitor and understanding the data, I’ve noticed a consensus that it’s easy to get blasted with too much data. Instead find just one or two numbers to work on for your session.

I finally used my Mevo+ outdoors last week and 100% agree it's really good with a full range. Got some great numbers hitting off real grass and it definitely makes a difference when hitting off a matt, especially with spin. Indoors it's really good with irons but definitely struggles with driver (I'm still tweaking my setup so maybe I'll find a sweet spot). Got some weird launch and spin #'s indoors (like 20* launch and nothing under 3k spin) but outdoors I averaged 14* launch and around 2100 rpm for 15 shots. Hopefully today I can get a good setup indoors and mirror what I get on the range.

[balladm]

yeeah boi! I just got tracking info!

[balladm]

Got mine today. Irons seem pretty accurate indoors. The numbers seemed better without the metallic sticker to me. Driver was definitely off with yardages. Normal carry is about 295. Maybe its better outdoors.

[motts]

Interesting. I've heard these things are pretty accurate indoors, so this is odd. How far behind is the mevo / how far away is the net?

[balladm]

I had the mevo exactly 8' back and had the net about 9.5' from ball on indoor mode. All other clubs were pretty accurate though. Ill take it to the range soon though.

[1puttTUT]

Boom!!! About effing time...ordered 3/17. I know what I'm doing all weekend. Better than playing golf in 90+ degree weather lol

[RN4LGolfer]

Has anyone had issues with indoor accuracy? I have 8'+ from hitting area to net and I can set the Mevo+ at the proper distance behind. I normally carry my 7i 165-170 yards, last night the reading I kept getting were 140-145 yards. I suspect it may be my garage setup. I know garage floors slope 1/4" for every foot, so being 8' away would put it 2" lower and then add in the height of my country club hitting mat and that could mean it's sitting 3-3.5" below. I did set the Mevo on a 1" shelf. Has anyone had similar experiences?

[balladm]

I had the wrong mode. I switched to short indoor and it is very accurate. You can adjust the tee height from settings also. I have mine 2" high just for the mat
