The subscription fee is the killer for me for most of these units. Mevo+ wins just for that reason. Im in a good position as i havent purchased yet and will wait to see whats new for 2024.

I think as a community we need to make it clear to manufacturers that charging yearly subscriptions to unlock “on box” features isn’t a business practice that should be rewarded. Pay for updates and upgrades? … maybe, but charging 15-20% of purchase price every year just to use basic features? Nah. Mevo offering bolt on features for a one off? I’m ok with that too.

Hey Breaking 80! Just wanted to say even though we occupy the same niche on certain videos I am a big fan of your channel! Thanks for all the great videos!

Having the average golfer target metrics default on the SkyTrak vs having to add them manually on the Mevo+ is kind of nice. However to Sean's point the flexibility and portability of the Mevo with no sub is kinda GOATed

I recently found your channel and just want to thank you for the content. I'm looking to set up a home Sim and have used your reviews to decide on getting the Mevo+ as the backbone of my setup. I'll be building a man cave with Bar around it so that I can enjoy it with friends... which also leads me to the Mevo+ as I don't have to worry about right vs left handed swings. I also always carry a LH 8 iron in my bag for recovery shots against hazards... so I love the idea I will be able to practice my left hand shots as well as my normal swing. Thanks again... great channel.

For me, I have my simulator set-up in my garage. I don't have 15'-20' of room. I hit into a 10'x10'x10' cage with an impact screen and the SkyTrak (or SkyTrak+) only requires a few feet past where you hit the golf ball. For that reason, I went with the SkyTrak+. You mention options for simulators, but don't mention the TGC2019 software. I've been using it and have been really impressed with the quality of graphics - the downside is you have to have a gaming computer to run it in it's highest graphics mode. Thanks for the reviews and insight - just subscribed and looking forward to your future content!

Great review... Thanks! I was wondering what does that "powered by rapsodo" in the back of the st+ mean? Thx

The BIGGEST PROBLEM for most people to tackle IF the want to use it in sim is SPACE. SKYTRAK, BUSHNELL, EYE MINI, solve this problem and the latter 2 provide great putting & chipping as well. Now that the Eye Mini is selling for less than 4k and its subscription model is so much cheaper than the Bushnell it has to be considered as a contender as well - how about a review?

Awesome video the Mevo+ has so much to offer for its price point

Some other launch monotors are MLM Rapsodo and the Ernest Sports B 1 but are priced from $ 500 to $ 700 dollars and work great...

would the next step up between these two be the gc3? Do you know the biggest difference between gc3 and skytrak/flightscope?

Bought the Mevo+, having a lot of connection issues in the first few days. I have a skytrak+ on order now and will return the loser. I think the simplicity of setup for the ST+ will win me over as you described, and will overcome the currently limited sim options. Playing outdoors in a golf cage setup.

Which device did you end up keeping? Ive got an outdoor cage setup and have been going round in circles with which LM to buy.

I was hoping you touched more on game improvement. That is a major area I'm trying to understand and has prevented me from making a purchase.

thanks, very informative

I unfortunately can't use the monitor indoors - have a early 1970s vintage home and just don't have enough overhead space downstairs and even the garage only has ceilings which are a tad over 8 feet. We put a family room addition on which is 16 x 24 with a 14 foot peak height and windows along three walls; however, turning that room for a golf simulator will only cost me my marriage!! Therefore I'm stuck with the range. I think for the flexibility of the display, responsiveness, and ability to get the clubface data, I'll try the Mevo+.

Hey Sean. Maybe a bit of a fringe request, but I would love to see a video on "best launch monitors for the range". I want to pick something up that'll let me have my own data (vs relying on inaccurate/sometimes broken TopTracer) and practice a range of approach shots/distances. It looks like the FlightScope Mevo (non plus) is probably the best/most accurate option for sub $600. Would the original MLM fit the bill in terms of accuracy for wedges? The MLM 2 Pro looks absolutely amazing, and the combine feature looks great, but it's probably out of my price range. I have a PRGR for swing speed training, but what I really want is accurate carry distances for LW through 4 iron (I care more about wedge accuracy than anything else) when hitting range balls. Any other ones you think I should check out? I vaguely remember the Garmin R10 not being good on wedges, and often times the ranges I hit at will only have 6 feet behind the mat.

Hey Sean, I purchased the flightscope mevo plus 3 years ago. I am updating my simulator room and am considering upgrading the simulator as well with skytrak or Bushnell launch pro or Foresight GC3 .. Thoughts ??

Therez one important category u forgot. And thats ‘interferance’. Because mevo is radar based u cant have fans or air conditioners in the room it is being used because it throws it off. Thats not an issue with Skytrak because its camera based.

100% agree and don't forget you cannot hit at a metal garage door either.

Compare any special ball requirements?

The MEVO + is more convenient for golf simulator use when you have right and left hand players!

I was wondering about this (since I'm a lefty) and thought it would be the case. Probably tips the edge in Mevo+ favor for my decision.

Really interesting video, both of these devices are on my short list to buy. Not too bothered about portability and would like to use a non RCT ball so think the Skytrak + would be the winner but prefer the simulator options available on the Mevo +. I guess both are good options and it is just which one I need to compromise with and to work out what is the most important feature for me. Thank you for making this video, very helpful to confirm my direction and shortlist appears to be correct.

How does the Golfzon Wave compare to these especially since Golfzon also allows for actual putting.

Great question. The Golfzon Wave looks intriguing but there aren't many reviews on it yet. Would love to see a detailed review of it for indoor use!

Will the skytrak+ work without internet connection

Does the quality of the driving range golf ball make a difference in performance between Mevo Plus (radar based) and SkyTrack (camera based)? When using the Mevo Plus on the driving range, does your iPhone or iPad get hot and drains the battery?

Great assessment but you didn’t include putting

Surprisingly the Mevo+ is the best for me with the quiz. I would have thought the Skytrack

​@@breakingeighty I have ample room, don't really mind the yearly fees, but really would like the most reliable data. I'd thought the skytrack would deliver that most reliable data

What good is taking the Mevo to the range if you have to have aluminum dots on the balls?

@3ARCBA

7 ай бұрын

You only need the dots inside hitting into a net or screen not at the range

Many people talks about Mevo is easier to carry to the driving range… that’s depends of the driving range… if your mat is elevated by few inches… you have to bring something to align your simulator… do not underestimate this thing… it is really a mess in many cases!

@damiensmith8351

You don't raise the mevo+ if the matt is raised (as this throws it off if there is a dip in floor level), you adjust the ground level in setup.

Skytrak...more accurate, easier to set up, requires less space, wins the "fun" category but still doesn't come out on top? Interesting...

@boredymcboredface8624

Not sure what you’re saying?? But as he said - not all categories are equal. Price and something to use with GSpro is what I want

I just can't understand how the Skytrak+ can have all club data except for Angle of Attack. That is probably more important for amateur golfers that would be in this price point than face angle. How on earth could AoA be the only metric it cannot measure?

Can't agree that the mevo is the better value. But that's just me.

Skytrak better indoor, Mevo+ better outdoors?

@bougie_kenny

I’d say it depends.. both are good indoors. One thing about the ST+, if you are in a garage like me and winter hits - the ST+ isn’t affected by space heaters or fans if you’re using during the summer. Outdoors probably the Mevo+, from what I’ve listened to, ST+ will only work on a mat.

Ha! It's a LuLu Lemon hoodie from Oakmont.

Huge error in this video - in the space constraint segment, when you were holding up the Mevo & talking about its requirement of 8 feet of distance between the unit & the tee & 8 feet of ball flight, you incorrectly called it the Skytrak.
