The Mevo+ is dead. Long live the Mevo Gen2.
FlightScope discontinued the Mevo+ in late 2025. You can still find clearance stock at $1,099 if you hunt. The Gen2 is the replacement at $1,299. It’s $200 more and addresses every complaint the community had about the Mevo+.
If you’re buying new, the decision is simple: get the Gen2. It’s the current model, it’ll get firmware updates for years, and it’s better in every way that matters.
If you already own a Mevo+, the question is harder. Is it worth $1,299 to upgrade? Let’s break it down.
The Technology Gap: Fusion Tracking vs Pure Radar
This is the fundamental difference.
Mevo+ uses 3D Doppler radar. Pure radar. Sits behind you, bounces radio waves off the ball, calculates everything from the ball’s flight path. Same tech TrackMan uses at fifteen grand. Excellent outdoors. Needed metallic dots indoors for accurate spin. Required 16+ feet of room depth.
Mevo Gen2 uses Fusion Tracking — 3D Doppler radar PLUS a synchronized camera. The radar is still the primary sensor. The camera runs alongside it, capturing images at impact that help the radar interpret what it’s seeing.
What the camera adds:
- Better indoor accuracy — helps the radar read spin without needing as much ball flight
- Improved chipping and putting tracking — the camera captures slow-moving balls that radar struggles with
- More consistent data across environments — the two sensors correct each other’s weaknesses
- Actual measured data, not calculations — FlightScope’s marketing says “no calculations” for club and ball measurements
Is Fusion Tracking as accurate as a pure camera system like the SkyTrak+ indoors? No. Camera units still win in tight spaces because they read everything at impact. But Fusion Tracking narrows the gap. The Gen2 is more reliable indoors than the Mevo+ ever was.
The Hardware Upgrades
| Feature | Mevo+ (discontinued) | Mevo Gen2 |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $1,099 (clearance) | $1,299 |
| Technology | 3D Doppler radar | Fusion Tracking (radar + camera) |
| Battery | 2-3 hours | 6 hours |
| Charging | USB-Mini | USB-C |
| Weight | 16 oz | 17.6 oz |
| Orientation | Landscape | Portrait (higher sight line) |
| Dimensions | 6.8 x 4.6 x 1.2 in | 6.9 x 5.6 x 1.2 in |
The battery upgrade is the headline. 2-3 hours on the Mevo+ meant you were charging mid-session during a full round of simulator golf. 6 hours on the Gen2 means you can play 36 holes, practice for an hour, and still have juice left. That’s not an incremental improvement. It’s the difference between “works for a session” and “works for a day.”
USB-C is not a feature — it’s a basic expectation. But the Mevo+ shipped with USB-Mini in 2025, which was genuinely embarrassing. The Gen2 fixes this. If you’ve ever tried to find a USB-Mini cable at 10 PM because your launch monitor died, you understand why this matters.
The portrait orientation is more than cosmetic. It raises the unit’s sight line, which improves tracking for chipping and putting — the slow-moving shots where radar struggles most. The camera assists here too.
Data Parameters
| Category | Mevo+ | Mevo Gen2 |
|---|---|---|
| Full swing data | 16 parameters | 16 parameters |
| Putting data | Yes (limited) | Yes (improved) |
| Chipping | Yes (with stickers) | Yes (improved) |
| Total parameters | 20 | 18 |
| Pro Package available | Yes ($1,000) | Yes ($850) |
| Face Impact Location | $499 add-on | Included in Pro Package |
The parameter count dropped from 20 to 18, but that’s a technicality — some Mevo+ parameters were calculated estimates that the Gen2 measures directly. The Gen2’s data is better quality even if the raw count is slightly lower.
The Pro Package is cheaper on the Gen2 ($850 vs $1,000) and now includes Face Impact Location (which was a $499 add-on on the Mevo+). That’s a $649 effective price reduction on the full data package. Insane value.
E6 Courses: The One Downgrade
| Mevo+ | Mevo Gen2 | |
|---|---|---|
| E6 courses included | 12 (lifetime) | 8 (lifetime) |
| Pebble Beach | Yes | Yes |
| St Andrews | Yes | Yes |
| Bay Hill | Yes | Yes |
| Subscription required | No | No |
You lose 4 courses. That’s real. If those specific 4 courses matter to you, it’s a downgrade. But the Gen2 is $200 more than clearance Mevo+ pricing, and you’re getting better hardware, better battery, Fusion Tracking, and a cheaper Pro Package. Trade 4 courses for a fundamentally better device? Yeah. Easy trade.
Both include lifetime E6 licenses — no subscription required. Both work with GSPro ($250/year) for unlimited courses.
Should Existing Mevo+ Owners Upgrade?
This is the real question for a lot of you. You bought a Mevo+. You like it. Is the Gen2 worth $1,299?
Upgrade if:
- Your battery life drives you crazy (2-3 hours isn’t enough for marathon sessions)
- You practice putting and chipping and want better short game tracking
- You want the Pro Package with Face Impact Location (cheaper overall than adding it to your Mevo+)
- You’re tired of USB-Mini and want modern charging
- You want the camera-enhanced accuracy for indoor use
Hold if:
- Your Mevo+ works fine and you’re happy with it
- You primarily practice outdoors where the Mevo+ is already excellent
- You don’t need club data (the Pro Package is the main reason to upgrade for data nerds)
- You can’t justify $1,299 for incremental improvements
- Your Mevo+ still has years of life left
The honest take: The Gen2 is better, but it’s not “sell your Mevo+ tomorrow” better. The improvements are real but incremental. If your Mevo+ is working for you, hold. When it dies or you find yourself frustrated by the battery, the Gen2 is waiting.
Should New Buyers Get the Gen2 or a Clearance Mevo+?
If you can find a Mevo+ at $1,099 clearance and you don’t care about battery life or USB-C, save the $200. The Mevo+ is still an excellent radar launch monitor.
But clearance stock is dwindling. The Gen2 is the current model. It’ll get firmware updates for years. The Mevo+ is discontinued. Eventually, FlightScope will stop updating it.
For $200 more, you get: 6-hour battery, USB-C, Fusion Tracking, improved short game tracking, cheaper Pro Package with Face Impact included. That’s a lot of improvement for $200.
My recommendation: Get the Gen2 unless you find a Mevo+ at a deep discount (under $900). At that price, the value proposition shifts.
The Verdict
The Mevo Gen2 is the better device. It fixes every complaint the community had about the Mevo+ while keeping the philosophy that made FlightScope popular: no subscriptions, one-time data upgrades, proven radar accuracy.
If you’re buying new: Gen2. Not a hard decision.
If you’re upgrading from a Mevo+: hold unless you need the battery life or Pro Package improvements. The Mevo+ is still good. The Gen2 is better, but “better” doesn’t always mean “worth $1,299.”
If you’re choosing between the Gen2 and a non-FlightScope product: the Gen2 is the best radar launch monitor under $1,500. The SkyTrak+ is better for tight indoor spaces. The Square Omni is better for value and features. But if you want proven radar accuracy with outdoor capability and no subscriptions, the Gen2 is your pick.

FAQ
Is Fusion Tracking actually more accurate than pure radar? Yes, indoors. The camera helps the radar interpret spin and short-game data. Outdoors, the difference is negligible — pure radar is already excellent with unrestricted ball flight.
Can I trade in my Mevo+ for a Gen2? FlightScope does not offer a trade-in program. You’d need to sell your Mevo+ on the secondhand market (Facebook Marketplace, eBay) and buy the Gen2 new. Used Mevo+ units sell for $700-$900 depending on condition.
Does the Gen2 still need metallic stickers indoors? Yes. For accurate indoor spin readings, you need aluminum stickers (100 included) or Titleist RCT balls ($55/dozen). Fusion Tracking reduces but doesn’t eliminate this requirement. Camera-based units (SkyTrak+, Square Omni) don’t need stickers.
Is the Pro Package the same on both? No. The Gen2 Pro Package is $850 (down from $1,000) and includes Face Impact Location (which was a $499 add-on on the Mevo+). The Gen2 Pro Package is a significantly better value.
How long will the Mevo+ get firmware updates? FlightScope has committed to supporting the Mevo+ for years, but as a discontinued product, priority goes to the Gen2. If you’re buying new, the Gen2 is the safer long-term bet for software support.
