There is nothing here that says you need to pay for PC FS Golf.

 

Edit: never mind, found it on a separate social media post. $99.

Is that for the app itself (like if I run it on my android) or just the PC version? In planning on running gs pro for simulation but if I'm working on the swing and need lots of data, I'll be on my phone or iPad within the app.

Fantastic that FS can bring this to M+.  Was not expecting this. Really leaning hard on the camera to do this. Must be up to the task. Wonder if the camera is upgraded in the 2023 version. 

[ThinkingPlus]

Well, I just pulled the trigger on the Mevo trade in deal for an M+.  Went ahead and added the PP as well. Somewhat of a leap of faith, but hopefully the M+ outperforms the base Mevo enough to justify the purchase. <fingers crossed>

I played today e6 course after a long time (I have used only FS golf app whole autumn). I got really low spin numbers in e6 compared to FS golf. Driver 800-1300 spin in e6 vs 2000-2400 in FS golf. I used first RCT balls then I thought if balls are problem and changed to proV1`s with metallic dot but same issue wih them. Have anyone else saw the same problem?

Just PC version of you don't have Pro already. Existing Pro package owners get PC for free.

[Aimetti]

interesting. Ive had pro for quite some time, you saying ill qualify for the PC software for free?

Flightscope going for the jugular in the prosumer category. 
 

$500 add on. That seems very reasonable to me. 

WHAT????

I have to do it

Does this mean E6 is giving us 10 free courses instead of the current 5?

I'm sitting on the fence right now of the trade in versus just buying it outright and listing my current MEVO for sale in the BST.   

 

Also saw the email about the face impact for an addtional $450 ithink,  seems like an incedible feature to have on a personal unt, but I need to think hard if I want to invest just over $3,000 and will I get enough use out of it to justify.

Yes. Past, present and future Pro purchases include access to PC FS Golf.

 

Edit:

@St JimmyI wouldn't bet on it, though I'm curious if it will apply to the original licenses if they weren't redeemed.

How accurate is the face impact location for Flightscope X3? I know they recently introduced it to the X3, and just wondering if the accuracy is good.

 

It's cool they're bringing it to the Mevo+! I'll be playing with the PC software once it's available, since I already have the Pro Package

Ah okay thanks. I don't see myself using it for PC but who knows. The unit I bought doesn't have pp unlocked yet ... Probably going to wait until I have enough saved up to do pp plus the impact data. 

 

I assume that it watches the club head for twisting and calculates where impact was?

I watched a demonstration of face impact for Mevo+ today. They sprayed the face of a driver with impact spray and then compared to Mevo+. Dead on. 
 

Also, shot tracer functionally coming.  I *think* it will be a free firmware update, but not 100% on that one.

Did they have to put the stickers on the face of the club?

10 E6 courses as well? Or is that only for new 2023 Mevo plus buyers? I really would like E6 PC version and the FSgolf PC version but I dont want to pay for what is included. I have had mine for almost 2 years.  Do new buyers get the choice of apple or PC or do they get both platforms?

[Carolina Golfer 2]

Would like some opinions on this. 
 

I currently have the MEVO. And use it exclusively on my IPhone just getting the basic 8 parameters of ball and flight into. Mostly to track my off season swing/ball speed.  
 

Wanting to make the investment ot improve. I’m considering the Mevo + 223  with the PP.    

 

big question would I need at minimum an iPad to get the most benefit from the data.   Would it all be ware’s or unusable on my IPhone.   Things like the tracking and simulation.   I’m not into playing the simulated courses as much.  Mostly the swing and ball data.

90% sure they said no stickers on the face.

I use my Mevo+ w/ Pro Package exclusively outdoors on a full range and I only use my phone. I put AirPods in so I can listen to music and hear the single spoken data point.  I also use my Apple Watch to change club selection.  I haven’t felt constrained by a phone display at all.

 

However, the face impact upgrade option requires a tablet because Flightscope says the face impact image with data won’t ergonomically fit on a phone screen.  I have an iPad, so that’s no big deal, but it means no watch integration (unless Apple now allows an Apple Watch to pair with an iPad.)

I would say no. Prior to getting an iPad late last year I would use my iphone for my practice sessions referencing 9 data tiles only (no driving range view). Add in some slo mo video and it’s a way more productive practice session then pounding balls at a range blindly. I’ve focused on V swing plane in combo with path, FTP, low point, spin, ball speed and club speed.

Flightscope posted a video of the impact face spray vs. new software on their Instagram feed:

Another of their videos does discuss needing to calibrate the head size first, which makes sense. But it's an extra step if you're rotating a bunch of clubs, which being wrxers, you are:

Thanks this is very good info and exactly what I was wanting to know.

Thanks very much.   Good info.  So just to be clear, you are unable to see the driving range view on a I phone screen shot, or you just didn't use it.

I just didn’t use it. On reg size iPhone 12 not enough space to see the range ball flight and see all the metrics I’m interested in.

Yeah, I can see that..or not see it I guess !      I've been putting off picking up a new IPad, my current one I'm pretty sure is from the Eisenhower Adminsistration 🙂    LIke you'd I'd be mostly using it for the the data and occasional video to see with the data, at the time I get the I pad I might then add the Face Impact feature.

The range works fine on a iPhone.  You just have to scroll to get all the numbers if you need them there and now.

 
All the range session data is saved online for later review.

You can also reorder the data blocks of there's only 4 or 5 parameters you care about in a particular session, or switch to dashboard mode to see all parameters but hide ball flight model.

Thanks guys.  Yeah, I could see using the range view to see the flight and then just listening for say the ball speed or carry data point, then going back and viewing the whole session when I'm done.   

 

Do you all use the video portion much when your'e working on your game or find it helpful.

No, I use separate cameras and Kinovea software. Partly because I refuse to support iOS but mostly because it has better results.

 

That's indoors. Outdoors I never use video capture because it'll be just before a round.

I’m not big on using video to be honest. I do use the data parameter function though for start direction and left right dispersion from centre line when I am practicing as these are the things I feel gets loose in my game when I don’t stay on top of it.

I haven't yet, but am planning on starting this weekend.  I'm hoping that feature can help break my casting issues.  

 

edit- I just figured out how to sync the sessions saved on my device with the website. 

 

Imo, it's totally worth the price especially for someone like me that is buried under snow and using for a sim.  

I'm typically a play instead of practice guy during the season, but will now set this thing up in my backyard and hit balls into the net when my wife forces me to be home.   I wish I had it during the lock downs.
