New FlightScope Mevo+ (MERGED)

I have plenty of space. Two reasons really; I don’t like the sporadic data it seems to give on longer clubs indoors and the sound of my driver in that space is deafening!

Thanks for the confirmation.

 

If I might add a couple of thoughts.  

 

Technically speaking for my game improvement, Indoor simulation and short game practice for me specifically and my game has been HUGE.  What I mean is I am fortunate to have a driving range about 10 minutes away from me.  But there is no short game practice area and no way am I going to spend money on a bucket of balls to hit it 50y and in.  I am not going to waste money. I used to go to my local park with a HomeDepot bucket filled old games and walk off yardages and try to land balls in the bucket.

 

Now with the Mevo+ which has shown to be accurate with wedges/irons and the E6 short game practice area. my short game 100y and in has become one of my greatest strengths.

 

Hitting driver indoor is great for reps, but we gotta see and feel the ball flight right?  

 

The data is "sporadic" to a point.  As I mentioned utilizing the Trajectory Optimizer, I know my numbers pretty solid.

 

1) 100-105mph swing speed (Making sure I am getting up to that speed)

2) 157mph optimal Max ball speed.  If I am hitting 145mph, I am not striking it well.

3) 15* launch gives me a realistic carry and total height, where the environmental effects are less.

4) 2500rpms is a realistic spin number.

 

The Mevo+ captures ball speed WELL like any other radar I have ever used. I do NOT at all doubt the number for this.

 

Swing speed is a crap shoot for any radar, as I understand Only TM has the ability to pick the middle of the face?  Other radars sometimes catches the heel, the toe, etc so swing speed is questionable.

 

Launch, as long as you have the Mevo+ at the right alignment, Launch angles are pretty solid.

 

Spin....OH spin..... SC100 had no spin, so I had no Idea, ES14 had total spin but DAMN near legit numbers, It was calculated though so it had a variance much like @Krt22 mentioned that helps with accuracy (or from numbers getting to out of control).   Mevo+ just measure/calculates.  Its a consumer grade affordable unit. 

 

So again, If the environment works with the unit.  The unit can serve its consumer grade low price point target.  BUT as many have stated, its NOT for everyone.  And its not a perfect one size fits all. Its Trying to but again,  Camera vs Radar, Indoor vs Outdoor.   Thats undeniable.

Quick question -- is it common for there to be disconnects between the FS Golf app and the myFlightscope site? I wanted to look at the data from my session yesterday because I like the summaries you can see on the website with each club showing averages and such, but it's missing all the shots I hit with my driver and driving iron, and 2 of the 5 I hit with my 3 wood. I thought it might have been that it just didn't have the shots I hit latest in the session, but my PW was the last club I hit, and all of those shots are there. It's not a big deal (though it is annoying), but I'm new to the FS sites and apps, so I was wondering if this is something that other people have seen.

 

HOLY SMOKES BATMAN, Why didnt I know about this. LOL  THANK YOU, this helps to provide data back to the Forums.

 

I was taking Screen shots and using an Ipad vs Iphone so getting data to a computer to email was a PITA.

 

Thanks, as for data, All my data is showing up?

 

This was the day I got to try it outdoors for the first time ever with my buddy.

 

 

All the data is there,

 

I am checking all the prior days and the data is there as well.

12/06/2021 ( I think this was .19 firmware update), I need to do a current .20 firmware

 

 

Averages are above, other than 11.5* lower launch,  AOA +5.8,  these numbers are pretty solid for me? (I did practice much more and develop a slightly better swing)

 

 

 

This was 11/16/2021 (Pre .19 patch) When spin was TERRIBLE

 

Same swing speed much lower ball speed, same launch +800rpms more average of spin  flatter AoA. But the only big difference was the spin and my terrible swing.

 

 

I really would like to see some people put up their data, showing missing data or spins in the 6000rpm range or other data that's really off.  

 

Again in 8ft ball to screen indoors, Ksig 2.0 with a sticker.   Shots registration is 100% and data capture is 100%, spins is 50%,  But for what it is, it works well? other than environment, I swear both indoor and outdoor has worked quite well.  Not sure whats the deal?

 

 

[Daniel Eason]

Has anyone ever had issues getting video to work on FSgolf android?

 

I thought the update yesterday would fix it but it just will not record my shots. 

 

I've got triggers on the default.

[bjp1]

Have the .20 update and Pro Package (iOS).  After inviting friends over for a lunch break 9, I found out that E6 hasn't updated to be compatible with the update and so it does not currently work.  More embarrassed then disappointed, but it would have been nice to know that some functionality of the package would not be functionable upon updating.  No ETA on when E6 would be updated.

 

Additionally, had issued with any iron over 6 iron, not reading correctly.  Five iron to hybrid were only getting 140+ yards max.  Not sure what that is about, but will have to figure that out some other time.

[3_Jack_Par]

Here's what I'm seeing. From the App, it tracked 68 shots for the session:

 

And these are the clubs that I hit:

 

But on the website, I counted the shots it has recorded, and there are 55 shots, and the ones hit with my driver and driving iron, as well as 2 shots I hit with my 3 wood are missing. And again, the PW was the last club I hit, so it's not a matter of it just cutting off the last ones that I hit.

 

3w shots from the app v. myflightscope (incidentally, those numbers are probably pretty close to correct, except for the spin on the last one was an estimate and might be a little low -- first shot was thin, second was fat, and the 3rd one was smoked.)

 

 

None of this is that big of a problem, but it's just strange. 

Edit to add, I haven't installed the app update yet (my current version is 3.8.7)-- I just started getting a message today every time I open the app that there is an update available, and there was another pop-up about a firmware update for the radar itself, but those just started today.

I know that data is taken from different dates but I think it is representative of the improvements that have been made. Once you have a chance would be interesting to see it yet again with .20 firmware / fusion tracking. Worst case even if the numbers are off a bit they are pretty consistent so you can track how things are changing.

[Daniel Eason]

Ive had this for a long time, shots count here and then nothing. Where are these shots stored ffs?

 

Also find the myflightscope stats don't update.

 

Oh and 4700 spin with driver lol

Thats exactly my point.  Its getting better not worse.  But the complaints I hear is that its "terrible" and the numbers are unreliable.

 

The numbers seem to becoming more reliable.  

 

Yes I want to get a definitive .20firmware update and I should have tonight will jump on it tonight.

 

But its not that bad and the DRIVER is the worst of the batch. the irons are AWESOME. I have minimal misreads, so spin misreads but just hit another and move one. example PW 2200rpms of spin, its a misread, hit another and move on.

Appreciate it my friend, And thats 1 shot,  not implying chronic?

 

 

 

Here is Outdoor, Full flight, 4016, 3894, 3630, 3839  spin numbers that are abnormally high,  but then we have normal numbers in the 2,400, 2150,2340 range.

 

Is it the ball, is it the strike... is it the unit.

 

I use the E6 at home 

 

2248 upwards to 3786.00,   But I just shrug off 3786rpms and hit another... 

 

 

[Exactice808]

PS Fellow members, If I might add on additional point.

 

I am in no way advocating for the Unit.... What I am trying to do is "Help" anyone that wants the help as I have found success with my unit.

 

Help them by giving them my data and my setup through MY struggles to get it working accurately. How I was able to effectively use this system to be productive.

 

 

I am curious why some peoples environments are not conducive.  Its it truly the environment or is it  operator error or is it, just the ball and swing mechanics.

 

Anyways again. I HAD a hard time initially getting this thing to work reliably.  I have seem to find the sweet spot and its working pretty well with minimal complaints.  Heck my BIGGEST issue seems to corrected now that I have gotten the putting to reliably work, where before it was HORRIBLE.

 

I am just hoping that I can help members if possible to gain success in using their system, NOT to bash others or advocate one over the other.

I feel lucky -- I'm hitting in a space with just about the minimum amount of space necessary according to the specs, in a 2-car garage where the half of it that isn't in the hitting area is full of all sorts of random stuff, and I did nothing else to set it up, and it's been working fine from the first time I tried it without even aligning it.

3686 sounds like you need a swing overhaul to me! 😁

Going back on my data real quick I noticed something,

 

1)113mph Club head speed right?  151.8 Ball speed right?  1.33smash, This was NOT a good strike right.  So 4729 rpms of back spin, is it the units fault? or was that a bad strike, and the data collected took into account a bad strike.  I mean where you happy with that strike? And its the Mevo+'s fault for indicating a bad strike? 

 

 

 

I filtered my shots,  I can get 5,000 + RPMS of back spin with my driver too.

 

 

5,824rpms to boot.

 

Of course Ballspeed was 124mph ballspeed, meaning HORRIBLE strike and 178y of carry.

 

Another 5,437rpms with 115mph ballspeed

 

Another 5,130 with 132mph ball speed,

 

ALL bad strikes.   Not the units fault, "operator error"

 

I can also filter the good strikes as well

 

 

 

Good ball speeds and good spin readings?

 

Again is all your 10shots all 4700rpms with 1.33 smash so lackluster strikes?

I have similar setup and generally find the unit reliable in a small indoor setup, up to a point.  After upgrading to .20 and Pro Package today, this is the first time that I've seen some consistent issues with readings, or lack thereof.  My hope is that today was an anomaly because this setup is the best that I can do and need this to work within the confines of the space (meeting all minimum space requirements).

Are you getting more no reads and/or reads with estimated spin numbers?

Fair question, and it was a combination of both.  For the reads that did capture, especially 6i and lower, the yardages were substantially lower than normal.  I didn't check to see if these were estimated spin numbers either.  I'm getting back on the monitor tomorrow to capture and share my experience.  However, I did find a few other .20/Pro Package upgraders on the golfsim forums had the same issue with lower yardages beginning at a certain club.

Does the $100 discount code for the Pro Package have an expiration date? There is nothing about it in the announcement email I received. 
 

I’m leaning towards purchasing but want to see some detailed reviews and hopefully some testing before jumping in. 
 

thanks,

Jim

[Alan Pllu]

I have seen various forums saying April 1st is the expiry so got a bit of time. Might be worth double checking with flightscope though.

It is 1 April, the Flightscope Instagram post sets it out:

 

Q: How long will the discount be available? A: Existing Mevo+ users who have registered through our online form have until April 1, 2022, to take advantage of the existing user discount before it expires.

You would think they would put that in the announcement email. I don’t do instagram.

Hit about 40 balls in my garage with the updated firmware last night (Fusion Tracking / 0.20).  Everything looked very similar although the number of estimated spin readings did go up to about 30% of all the balls I hit (RCT ball). This is just with a PW and an 8 iron. The estimated spins looked very similar to the measured spins however.

 

Did not notice any difference in AoA, ball speeds  or club head speed data or mins/maxs.

[DrShaftE]

I presume that those meantioned discount codes are for US customers? I sign in on january for discount code but haven`t received it yet. FS customer service answered that they will send codes soon. Is there anyone in europe who has already received a discount code?

[3_Jack_Par]

I registered, but didn't get a code. I DMed them on IG, and they gave me a code after asking where I am located. So, I assume that the codes are probably US only, but I don't know that for certain.

[Exactice808]

Quick update,  Running .20firmware, NO pro Package, KSig 2.0 with Metalic Dot. 8ft from screen. (Short Indoor)

 

FS App vs E6 App.   Notice though E6 app keeps disconnecting when you switch between courses.  Assuming it needs an updated due to the firmware.  Same thing happened when they released the .19 it would just crash. So a Dev Upgrade. took a couple of days.

 

 

FS App - Did not capture, on the website, So I guess this means this is a place holder, when I get home to pull the data from the Ipad. I took 21 Shots and it only registered 1 on the website.  It must be internally stored.

 

 

 

E6 on the other hand,

 

Highest spin, 3,295, 3240,2865, 2755- Nothing ridiculous.  The remaining shots, All in the 2100-2300 Range.

3295rpms being the worst spin,  Something is working, be it fusion tracking,  be it the ratio, be it the firmware update?

Do you think its the Pro Package that is doing it,  I am wondering something.

 

1) The Pro Package is a software update to unlock the data, meaning it "reads" it but if its not unlocked it wont display?

1a) Or is it a full unlock meaning its NOT active at all, Unless you pay to unlock it.  Meaning the Data Without the Unlock is not using it. So only using its current form, for estimations. OR Its always been using the full data and calculating fully, its just not displayed unless unlocked?

 

 

 

I warmed up (first shots of the day) and immediately noticed a reduction in spin, on my PW's.  As I range in the 9,000-10,000 Range.    (PS I realized I had 1 ball without the dot so there is always 1 shot with low spin, both tables throw that out)

 

As I got warmed up, the spin started to come back.  The distances were pretty spot on though I am about 125y carry 130y total, any given day.

 

 

 

The 7iron was a little longer with a little less spin than normal for me, I usually spin in the 7500 range.  I would say 160carry 165 total is my 7iron, but it seems a touch longer 

Again I do NOT have the Pro Package?  Not that it makes any sense?

Hey Brother,  just checking in,

Your app shows 27 shots, your "Driver" shows 10.  Did you take 27 Drivers Shots, or did you Take 10 Drivers shots and (Example , 10 Wedge shots and 7 irons shots,) for a total of 27 shots?

 

So if you switched from Driver to X iron/club it would total 27 shots?

I am finding my latest update shows me hitting predominantly more Down on driver now. 

 

I fear FSgolf is seeing spin and then doing a brain fart with some of these figures. 

 

I am tbh working a lot on speed at the moment, today I tried a bit more technique change to hit up with my GRF and it seemed to be more on the upwards AoA. 

 

I just don't know what to think, I need to take my FS out on the course when I can and hit proper balls, can't really do that till evenings on my course.
