FlightScope Mevo (original) discontinued
Space requirements
FlightScope FAQ: place Mevo 4-7 ft behind the ball (4 ft for wedges, up to 7 ft for driver) and allow at least 8 ft of ball flight indoors, for a minimum of about 12 ft of room depth.
- 4 ft behind the ball for the unit itself — radar-style placement eats room depth.
- 8 ft minimum ball-to-screen per manufacturer/retailer guidance.
- Width: 10 ft workable offset, 14 ft for a centered both-handed bay (industry guidance — see model).
What it measures
Ball data (6): ball speed, carry distance, vertical launch angle, spin rate, apex height, flight time
Club data (2): club head speed, smash factor
Measured vs. calculated: Doppler radar measures ball speed, launch and initial flight; carry is calculated from partial flight indoors. Indoor spin is only reliably measured with the included metallic stickers or radar-friendly Titleist RCT balls; otherwise spin is estimated. No angle of attack, horizontal launch, or spin axis (FlightScope cites these gaps as trade-in reasons).
Accuracy: Entry-level 8-metric radar; FlightScope's own trade-in page calls it a 'basic measurement system' with unreliable indoor performance versus Fusion Tracking models.
Software & subscriptions
Compatible software: FS Golf app
Notes
Pricing: Discontinued as a new product. FlightScope now sells 'Mevo Certified Pre-Owned' units at $299 (reg. $315) and offers a Mevo-to-Mevo Gen2 trade-in ($1,199). Original MSRP was $499.
Left-handed players: Unit sits directly behind the ball on the target line, so no repositioning is needed between right- and left-handed players.
No golf-simulation capability (practice data only via FS Golf app). Requires metallic stickers or RCT balls for measured indoor spin. Radar-based, so community/retailer guidance warns about interference from metal structures and moving objects (fans) near the flight path.
