When talking about the width of the room, consider whether lefties will be playing or do you have enough place to protect the wall. If there are both lefties and righties, then consider a room that is 15 feet wide. Generally the user experience was very passive once set up - you only need to touch your ipad to enter the new club. It did go into Sleep mode more often than we’d have liked, which was annoying as it meant it missed a few shots and required us to press the wake radar button on our iPad screen. Let’s start with some of the basics. Both Mevo and Mevo+ can run on iOS and Android (I tested on iOS). Mevo uses the dedicated Mevo app. Mevo+ uses the FlightScope Golf app and the FlightScope Skills app. I found turning it to the front-facing camera, and then propping it up on my golf bag behind me worked pretty well. The data is still displayed over the video, so you’re able to both get a nice replay of your shot immediately afterward. This also still lets you see your stats as well.

The best option I’ve seen in this price range that doesinclude all of those features is the Garmin R10. The accuracy is in a similar range to the Mevo, but it has substantially more features. Not the least of which is the ability to turn the R10 into a full-blown home golf simulator. Indoor Use with the Mevo I placed the Mevo 6 feet behind my spot on the range, hit a shot, and almost instantly had numbers for carry, spin, ball speed, clubhead speed, and launch angle. So now you’ve seen which one is our recommendation what do you need to know about setting up the home golf simulator. We’ve answered some common question below. It’d be nice to be able to see all 8 points at once, but honestly for what I use it for, I don’t need most of them all at the same time.Our mission is #ConsumerFirst. We are here to help educate and empower golfers. We want you to get the most out of your I then turned on the Mevo which I’d charged overnight, and I immediately watched the screen in the top right of the app switch from Disconnected (red), to Connected (Blue), to Ready (green) in a total of about 10 seconds. If your a golfer on a budget but are determined to set up a home golf simulator don’t worry with a few basic pieces of equipment you can easily set up an amazing home set-up. What do I need for a budget home golf simulator?

I found both units to be reasonably accurate compared to a Tour-quality launch monitor. One thing worth noting is that club data can change noticeably from one launch monitor to another. This is due to the difference in positioning and the points that are measured. While Mevo+ may not produce the exact same numbers as a Foresight, I found the data to be consistent and logical. What if you could play stunning, high-definition golf courses with Mevo+ using your laptop or PC? Mevo+ and TruGolf are excited to offer avid golfers the ultimate experience with renowned golf courses and 36 modes of play. Honestly, I love this device. It’s better than I expected it to be in almost all aspects exceptthe availability of data points like total distance, lateral data, and shot shape.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. As the category suggests, camera-based launch monitors use high-definition cameras to measure ball data at, and immediately following, impact. While camera-based systems can’t measure the full flight of the golf ball, they typically provide more accurate axis tilt and spin measurements and are far more reliable in limited-flight scenarios.

Winner: Tie. The set up is almost identical. The Mevo Plus does have a couple extra steps, but they’re short, and they provide the additional data that you bought Mevo Plus for. I might be missing it, but I do wish there was a better way to star or highlight certain swings or videos.I can safely say this is the first time I’ve personally tested a launch monitor where I had full confidence in the accuracy of the data.

I live in Florida, and trying to use the rapsodo on the range doesn’t work- my phone will overheat and turn off with too much direct sunlight. Also battery life is an issue- using it on the range for an hour and then trying to get a round with arccos won’t happen, the battery on my phone will be dead before I finish. It wasn’t until I was setting it up that I realized the app supported the Apple Watch, so naturally, I had to try it out. The metrics we consider when rating Personal Launch Monitors include Accuracy, Ease of Use, Portability, and Features.In my testing, I found that the metallic dots did not change the readings, but they did keep the Mevo and Mevo+ from missing shots. On Short Indoor mode, shots with unmarked balls were often missed. With a marked ball, a missed shot was pretty rare. And unfortunately, since there isn’t any lateral data, it’s tough to truly get a sense of how your accuracy is improving – especially if the thing you’re working on is fixing a swing flaw like a slice.
