FlightScope Mevo Review: The Best Consumer Level Launch Monitor?

Over the years I’ve reviewed a lot of different golf tech products, but there’s one that I’ve been wanting to try that up until recently had eluded me: the FlightScope Mevo. When it comes to respected  flightscope mevo plus review names in launch monitors, there are two that most people immediately jump to: Trackman and FlightScope.

Considering you’ll be spending at least 5 figures for even the cheapest of Trackmans, FlightScope is the only feasible option of these two for people looking for a product at a more consumer-friendly price point. They’ve still got their very expensive professional setups that the likes of Bryson use to aid their practicing – but unlike Trackman, they also have two less-expensive options in the Mevo and Mevo+.

The Mevo retails for $500, and the Mevo+ adds in some extra features but quadruples the price tag to about $2k. Here is our full FlightScope Mevo Plus review.

I’ve reviewed the Swing Caddie SC200 in the past, which had a similar easy setup – but there was no app included with that. The marriage between the Mevo and the Mevo app is so incredibly seamless. This shouldn’t come as a surprise considering FlightScope’s reputation for professional-level launch monitors.

I just wasn’t sure if it would truly trickle down to a product at such a reasonable price point.But again, ease of setup only goes so far if the numbers aren’t accurate, or you can’t actually use the rest of the features in a user-friendly way.Every time I went into the FlightScope app I found it generally very easy to do the things I needed to.

Across the menu bar on top there are menus for:

Tracking: This is the mode you’re in when hitting balls.
Reviewing: You can go into this mode to review your previous shot
Session graph: A visual representation of all the shots hit during this session
Session List: A list of each shot hit during the session including club and shot info.
Settings: How you customize the app for your preferences
Status: This shows if the device is connected and if it’s ready to use.

There are two different settings for when you’re hitting shots: video and data. In data mode, there’s no camera and it just gives you the shot data. In video mode, the Mevo will automatically recognize your swing, take a video, and allow you to play it back, draw on it, and so on. This works really well.

You have the option of recording in slow motion if you really want to break down your swing, and you can easily choose between the front or rear-facing camera on your phone in the settings section of the app. I found the app very intuitive, and pretty much anything I wanted to adjust could be done in the settings section.
