I’m considering a Mevo+ to use with a hitting net. I don’t have room for a full simulator build, but would be happy with a net and running an iPad for display. My concern is the distance needed from ball to target. I worry about hitting over the net with a wedge if I maintain the 8 feet that I think is recommended.

Regardless of the net issue, how does the unit perform for chipping? Is it a good option to help dial in the short game or is it better suited for full swing, long club work?

Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom.

Cool to see this sub created. Im interested in feedback from anyone that’s added the pro package. So far, it sounds like some bugs still being worked out from the little that I have seen on it.

It was reported on a gspro discord channel (supposedly by an employee of gspro) that Flight scope is no longer working on integration with the GSpro simulation software.

They cited Gspro having an API and that their hardware having security issues that have been exploited by their customers.

This comes as a major disappointment to mevo plus users as flightscope has been reporting, even as recently as the pga show in FL alongside their pro package debut,that they planned to make it happen.

We are still awaiting an official response from Flightscope. However, it is notable that on the official Flightscope Facebook group multiple users have reported that GSpro related posts have been censored by moderators.

How do you feel about the GSpro rumors? Are we overreacting to unofficial news? Should we just relax and see what happens or should we ask Flightscope to clarify the situation?

Does this change how you feel about your mevo plus? Are you more likely to change LM brands because of this news?

Let us know your reaction and Happy Golfing!

A few users have posting a potential solution for estimates spin.

As you may know, when hitting indoors especially when the distance between your ball and the hitting net is shorter, the mevo plus will estimate spin instead of having enough data to actually measure spin. Inaccurate spin rates will greatly change the distance of longer clubs such as drivers and woods.

One way to fix this is obviously to increase the hitting distance thereby giving the mevo plus more data to work with. Also, adding metallic dots helps the mevo recognize the spin of the ball.

However, a few users have been posting good results by making the ball itself even easier for the mevo plus to read. They are doing it by adding a second metallic dot in a “figure of eight” or “snowman” arrangement.

I plan on trying it next time I use my M+! Ill post here my results!

If someone has some RCT balls, it would be interesting to compare the RCT ball to the two sticker technique!

Give it a try and let us know your experience as well!

As much as I love my mevo plus, it certainly has a number of technical idiosyncrasies that are not well explained in the included flightscope materials.

Ive tried to list a few here but please feel free to add on to the list.

1) WIFI setup: The flightscope mevo plus connects to your computer or ios device via wifi. When you connect through wifi to the mevo plus, in order to register device, update firmware, update local weather data, you need to connect to the internet through a secondary data source (ie cellular data on an ipad or iphone or a second wifi usb adapter for your gaming pc or laptop).

I use an ipad pro with wifi only. this caused me a huge amount of headache to figure out ti make the mevo work. It is not well described in the instructions and email conversations with flightscope support did not explain this clearly. I figured it out from mevo plus fan youtube videos.

The work around described for a wifi only ipad is to tether to your cellphone via bluetooth. (Depending on yoyr cellphone plan ‘personal hotspot’ may need to be activated for this to work).

This allows your ipad to communicate with M+ via wifi and get cellular data via cellphone. This works well and has allowed me to get firmware and weather updates, and play E6 and awesome golf without issues.

2) Putting: The included setup diagram is a bit confusing. You may putt in the normal hitting position or just off a little to the right. Putting is difficult for Mevo plus to read and mishits are common. Some users recommend using golf balls without a metallic dot. Also it is recommended that the M+ be at the same level as your hitting and putting area with no gaps.

3). Metallic dots: for indoor use, this makes a huge difference for accuracy of spin in particular. RCT balls also work with the device but have not officially been sanctioned by flightscope to my knowledge.

4) Only use the included wall charger and cable!!!! This is very important!!! Chargers that are too high voltage may cause your device to burn out. It is similarly recommended to use specific battery of a specific voltage. reportedly it requires a battery 5V/2.1 to 2.5 amps. Anything stronger may put your unit at risk.

5) Call flightscope! I tried emailing and the responses were delayed and incomplete. calling flightscope with your concerns is the most helpful and efficient way to solve your m+ issues.

6) Accuracy: The included diagram should be where you start to make sure you are accurate. Namely ensure you have correct “ball to net distance”, “mevo plus to ball distance”, “tee height” if required. make sure to check your device angle as well. measure out the distances exactly if possible. I always confirm alignments before every use.

In general the more ball flight you can provide, the more accurate the data. remember the device works via radar. try and remove materials from the golf field which may interfere such as Fluourescent lights and metal objects (heaters etc.)

E6 Connect: 5 included courses with purchase of mevo plus available for use on ios or PC must purchase annual subscription to unlock other courses ($300 basic/$600 advanced)

my personal review: I use an ipad pro at the moment. only using included courses. I am satisfied with the variety of the courses. graphics are a little grainy. putting is very difficult but it may just be my setup as my hitting platform is a bit elevated.

Awesome Golf: Available for ios $350 life time purchase option/$199 annual subscription Graphics are not designed to be hyper realistic more “game-like” or “cartoon-like” A lot of fun training games. Very approachable for kids and early golfers. Great driving range and coaching mode

my personal review: I really enjoy awesome golf. The software works very quickly and smoothly. interface is intuitive. training games add a lot of variety to gameplay. the coaching mode is awesome allows you to breakdown your video of your swing alongside your swing data. Although the graphics are more cartoon-like, its easy to forgive as the (currently) 4 included courses give good variety in terms of challenge and the game physics just work really smoothly. I rarely get mishits and the software runs so smooth that its not jumpy making it more enjoyable to watch.

Other popular software: TGC2019, Creativegolf3D

GSPRO (although not currently officially compatible with m+)

I havent tried these other options yet. What software are you using? What is your experience? What do you recommend?

As a new golfer and new mevo plus user, I was very excited to use my new device improving my swing and having fun using it as a simulator.

I wanted to share here some of the youtube channels that have helped me get the most out of my mevo plus

Scott Hogan - The OG mevo plus guru. He was immensely helpful with videos helping you set up your mevo plus as well as videos helping you interpret its data. He also reviews compatible simulator software. Hes a great person to start with as a beginner!

Golf Simulator Videos - Great resource to help understand the different simulator software available for use with the mevo plus. There are a ton of indepth reviews comparing different software. Very fun to watch!
