FlightScope Mevo Gen 2 vs Mevo+
The FlightScope Mevo Gen 2 and Mevo+ both sit behind the ball, track the ball and club with radar and a camera, and show your ball and club data in FlightScope's free FS Golf app. The Gen 2 is FlightScope's current model and runs longer on a charge. The Mevo+ is discontinued and costs less, and FlightScope still services and updates the Mevo+.

The Gen 2 runs for 6 hours on a charge, against 3 for the Mevo+. Like the Mevo+, the Gen 2 sits behind the ball, so left- and right-handed players can take turns without moving the unit.
The Mevo Gen 2 and Mevo+ show these numbers in the free FS Golf app:
- Ball data: ball speed, launch angle, spin rate and spin axis (the tilt of the spin that curves the ball left or right). Indoors, spin rate and spin axis are accurate only with one of the included aluminum stickers on the ball or a Titleist RCT ball.
- Club data: club speed and attack angle (whether the club is moving down or up at impact).
- With the one-time Pro Package, a paid add-on: club path (the direction the club travels through impact), face angle (where the clubface points at impact) and dynamic loft (the loft on the clubface at impact).
What owners say
Gen 2 owners in FlightScope's customer reviews who compared their numbers side by side with a Trackman, GCQuad or Foresight launch monitor report close matches. On Reddit, 17 owners say distances read short indoors or into a net, often by 10 to 30 yards and most with the driver and long clubs, even when the same unit reads correctly outdoors. The complaint that recurs in FlightScope's reviews is the Wi-Fi link to the phone, tablet or PC: dropped connections and several tries to reconnect.
Worth noting
The Gen 2 and Mevo+ need 16 feet of depth from the unit to the screen: 8 feet behind the ball and at least 8 feet in front of it. FlightScope gives 9 feet as the minimum ceiling height. In a room with limited depth, a unit that sits beside the ball or on the ceiling fits better: see the best launch monitors for a garage or room with limited depth.

Why it shines
The Mevo+ shows the same ball and club data as the Gen 2 in the free FS Golf app. The Mevo+ comes with 12 courses for the E6 Connect simulator program, against 8 for the Gen 2, and the Mevo+ costs less.
What owners say
Mevo+ owners in FlightScope's customer reviews like the E6 courses that come with the unit and the one-time price with no subscription. The complaint that recurs is battery life: several owners say the charge runs out during a session, and some bought an external battery pack. On Reddit, 6 owners say the Mevo+'s full-shot distances, spin and shot shape match real play, and 7 say driver readings indoors show fades, slices or hooks that didn't happen.
Worth noting
The Mevo+ is discontinued, and FlightScope says it will keep supporting the Mevo+ with service and updates. Bought from FlightScope's own store, the Mevo+ can be returned within 7 days of delivery, against 30 days for the Gen 2.
