FlightScope Mevo Gen2

The Mevo+ was a legend. Clearance pricing at $1,099 made it the best radar value in golf. But it had problems — a 2-hour battery, USB-Mini charging in the year 2025, and spin accuracy that needed metallic dots indoors.

FlightScope discontinued it in late 2025. The Mevo Gen2 is the replacement. $1,299. Fusion Tracking (radar + camera). 6-hour battery. USB-C. 18 data parameters. 8 E6 courses. No subscription.

They fixed everything. See if the result is as good as it looks on paper.

(Spoiler: yeah, it is.)

What Is Fusion Tracking?

This is the headline feature. The Mevo+ was pure 3D Doppler radar. It sat behind you, bounced radio waves off the ball, and calculated everything from the ball’s flight path. Excellent outdoors. Required metallic dots indoors for accurate spin. Needed 16+ feet of depth.

The Mevo Gen2 adds a synchronized camera to the radar. It’s not a camera-based system like the SkyTrak+ — the radar is still the primary sensor. But the camera runs alongside it, capturing images at impact that help the radar interpret what it’s seeing.

FlightScope calls this “Fusion Tracking.” In practice, it means:

• Better indoor accuracy — the camera helps the radar read spin without needing as much ball flight
• Improved chipping and putting tracking — the camera captures the slow-moving ball that radar struggles with
• More consistent data across environments — the two sensors correct each other’s weaknesses

Is it as accurate as a pure camera system indoors? No. The SkyTrak+ and Square Omni still win in tight indoor spaces because they read everything at impact without needing ball flight. But Fusion Tracking narrows the gap significantly. The Gen2 is more reliable indoors than the Mevo+ ever was.

What Changed From the Mevo+

The honest comparison. The Mevo+ was great. The Gen2 is the Mevo+ with every complaint addressed.

Feature	Mevo+ (discontinued)	Mevo Gen2
Price	$1,099 (clearance)	$1,299
Technology	3D Doppler radar	Fusion Tracking (radar + camera)
Data parameters	20	18 (full swing + chip + putt)
Battery	2-3 hours	6 hours
Charging	USB-Mini	USB-C
E6 courses	12 (lifetime)	8 (lifetime)
Pro Package	$1,000 one-time	$599 one-time
Face Impact Location	$499 add-on	$299 add-on (separate from Pro Package)
Putting tracking	Yes (limited)	Yes (improved)
Chipping	Yes (with stickers)	Yes (improved with camera)
Weight	16 oz	17.6 oz (1.1 lbs)
Orientation	Landscape	Portrait (higher sight line = better short game tracking)

The battery upgrade is the big one. 2-3 hours on the Mevo+ meant you were charging mid-session if you played a full round. 6 hours on the Gen2 means you can play 36 holes, practice for an hour, and still have juice left.

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.

The E6 course count dropped from 12 to 8. That’s a downgrade. But the Gen2 is $200 more than the clearance Mevo+ pricing, and you’re getting better hardware, better battery, and Fusion Tracking. Trade 4 courses for a fundamentally better device? Yeah. Easy trade.

Accuracy

The Mevo+ was within 2-3% of TrackMan on ball speed, launch angle, carry distance, and spin rate (outdoors, with enough ball flight). The Gen2 is at least as good, probably better, thanks to Fusion Tracking.

Ball speed and club speed: Rock solid. Radar measures these directly. No issues.

Launch angle and direction: Consistent and reliable. The camera helps confirm what the radar sees.

Spin rate: The key improvement. Outdoors, the Gen2 is excellent — same as the Mevo+. Indoors, Fusion Tracking helps, but you still need aluminum stickers (100 included in the box) or Titleist RCT balls ($55/dozen) for accurate spin on high-spin wedge shots. The camera reduces but doesn’t eliminate the need for stickers.

Carry and total distance: Excellent outdoors. Good indoors with proper setup and enough ball flight.

Club data (with Pro Package): Club path, face-to-path, dynamic loft, swing plane, low point, and more. The same Pro Package data that made the Mevo+ the best value in club data. Still $599 one-time. Still no subscription. Still an absurd value compared to SkyTrak+’s subscription model.

Putting and chipping: Improved. The portrait orientation raises the sight line, which helps the radar track slow-moving balls. The camera assists. It’s not perfect — putting on a simulator is always weird — but it’s noticeably better than the Mevo+.

Space Requirements

Same as the Mevo+. The Gen2 is a radar unit first. It needs space.

• Indoor (limited flight mode): 8 feet from unit to tee, 8 feet of ball flight. Total: ~16 feet minimum. Aluminum stickers or RCT balls required.
• Outdoor (full swing): 8 feet from unit to tee, unrestricted ball flight. No stickers needed.
• Ceiling height: Standard 8-foot ceiling works. The unit sits behind you, not above.

If your garage is less than 16 feet deep, this is not your unit. Get a camera-based system — the SkyTrak+, Square Omni, or Bushnell Launch Pro. They sit beside the ball and need half the depth.

If you have the space, the Gen2 rewards you with outdoor capability that camera units can’t match. (For the full rundown on setting up radar-based sims outdoors — weatherproofing, portable builds, and which LMs work best in your yard — see our Can You Use a Golf Simulator Outdoors? guide.)

Software Ecosystem

This is where FlightScope continues to dominate.

• E6 Connect — 8 courses included (lifetime license, no subscription). Pebble Beach, St Andrews, and more. Additional courses available via E6 subscription ($300-$600/year).
• GSPro — $250/year. The community favorite. Thousands of courses. Works with the Gen2 natively.
• Awesome Golf — $159.99/year or $349.99 one-time. Family-friendly with mini-games.
• Creative Golf 3D — European-focused. $600 one-time.
• FS Golf App — Free. Driving range, shot data, video analysis. Available on iOS, Android, and PC.

No subscription required for core data. All 18 data parameters are unlocked out of the box. Firmware updates are free. The E6 8-course pack is a lifetime license. You pay for the unit once, and you’re done.

This is the FlightScope philosophy, and it’s why their users are so loyal. SkyTrak gates features behind a Game Improvement subscription. Bushnell Launch Pro locks ball data behind a subscription. FlightScope gives you everything upfront and only charges for optional upgrades (Pro Package, Face Impact).

The Pro Package: Still the Best Deal in Data

The Pro Package is $599 one-time (down from $1,000 on the Mevo+). It unlocks:

• Club path
• Face to path and face to target
• Dynamic loft
• Vertical and horizontal swing plane
• Low point
• Vertical descent angle
• Curve
• Club speed profile and acceleration profile

That’s the complete D-Plane dataset. The same data your club fitter uses on a $15,000 GCQuad. For a one-time $599. No annual fee. No tier upgrade. Linked to your unit for life.

Total with Pro Package: $1,299 + $599 = $1,898. That’s $97 less than a SkyTrak+ ($1,995) alone, and you get more club data than the SkyTrak+ offers at any subscription tier. Even after adding three years of GSPro ($250/yr × 3 = $750), the Gen2 with Pro Package totals $2,648 — still under a SkyTrak+ Elite subscription route.

The Pro Package also includes FS Golf PC 2.0 (practice software, $99 value), Trajectory Optimizer (iOS), and Environmental Optimizer — free add-ons that make the package even more valuable.

Face Impact Location: A Separate Add-On

The Mevo Gen2 supports Face Impact Location as a separate $299 add-on (down from $499 on the Mevo+). This is NOT included in the Pro Package — the directive FAQ on FlightScope’s own site confirms they are separate products.

What Face Impact Location gives you: precise lateral and vertical impact coordinates on the clubface, displayed as a heatmap overlay across your session. Every shot shows exactly where you struck the face — toe, heel, high, low, dead center. Combined with the Pro Package’s D-Plane data, you can diagnose exactly why your ball did what it did.

• Face Impact Location standalone: $299 one-time (was $499 on the Mevo+)
• Pro Package + Face Impact bundle: $850 one-time (save $48 vs buying separately)
• Total maxed out (Gen2 + Pro Package + Face Impact): $1,299 + $599 + $299 = $2,197 — or $2,149 with the bundle

Is Face Impact worth it? If you’re serious about ball-striking and want to know exactly where on the face each contact occurs — yes. If you’re a recreational golfer who mostly wants carry distance and direction — skip it. The Pro Package gives you everything you need to understand your swing. Face Impact is for the tinkerers who want to know if they’re hitting the center of the clubface, session after session.

Gen2 vs. The Competition

vs. Mevo+ (discontinued, clearance $1,099)

The Gen2 wins on battery (6hrs vs 2-3hrs), charging (USB-C vs USB-Mini), technology (Fusion Tracking vs pure radar), and putting/chipping accuracy. The Mevo+ wins on price ($200 cheaper if you can find clearance stock) and E6 courses (12 vs 8).

Verdict: If you can find a clearance Mevo+ and don’t care about battery life or USB-C, save the $200. Otherwise, the Gen2 is the better long-term buy. It’s the current model, it’ll get firmware updates for years, and the camera-enhanced accuracy is real. Full Mevo Gen2 vs Mevo+ comparison →

vs. Garmin R10 ($599)

The Gen2 costs more than twice as much as the R10 ($1,299 vs $599). What you get for the extra $700: measured spin data (no stickers required with the camera fusion), putting tracking, chip tracking, 18 data parameters (vs 7), 8 E6 courses free, and better indoor accuracy. The R10 wins on price, portability, and the fact that it’s good enough for 80% of home sim users.

Verdict: Budget-first and willing to accept estimated spin indoors? R10. Want real data and the upgrade path to tour-level metrics? Gen2 vs R10 full breakdown →

vs. SkyTrak+ ($1,995)

The Gen2 wins on price ($700 less), outdoor capability, instant data feedback (no 5-second delay), Pro Package value, and putting/chipping tracking. The SkyTrak+ wins on indoor accuracy in tight spaces, software ecosystem maturity, and no sticker requirement.

Verdict: Indoor sim only with limited space? SkyTrak+. Indoor + outdoor versatility? Gen2. Read our full SkyTrak+ review →

vs. Square Golf Omni ($1,599)

The Omni wins on indoor space requirements (12ft vs 16ft depth), built-in display, no sticker requirement for ball data, and full club data included (no Pro Package needed). The Gen2 wins on outdoor accuracy (proven radar vs new camera tech), Pro Package data depth, and brand track record.

Verdict: Tight indoor space or want a built-in display? Omni. Want proven outdoor radar accuracy and deeper data options? Gen2.

vs. Garmin R50 ($4,999)

The R50 is in a different price tier ($4,999) but worth the comparison because the Gen2 with Pro Package and Face Impact ($1,299 + $599 + $299 = $2,197) is less than half the R50’s price, yet both can deliver tour-level data. The R50 wins on everything: built-in display, no PC required, camera-grade indoor accuracy, no stickers, 18 data points out of the box, and a built-in swing camera. The Gen2 wins on portability (1.1 lbs vs 5.5 lbs), outdoor versatility (radar works anywhere), and total cost of ownership ($2,197 maxed out vs $4,999 base for the R50). If you never plan to take your launch monitor to the range, the R50 is the better dedicated sim unit. If you want one device for the garage AND the practice tee, the Gen2 is the more versatile choice at half the price.

Verdict: Dedicated indoor sim only with the budget? R50. Indoor + outdoor versatility and want to save $2,800? Read our full Garmin R50 review →

vs. GolfJoy GDS Pro ($2,199)

The Gen2 with Pro Package ($1,299 + $599 = $1,898) costs $300 less than the GDS Pro ($2,199). The trade: the Gen2 gives you proven outdoor radar accuracy with Fusion Tracking, the deepest data set in its class (18 parameters + 11 more with Pro Package), and a 1.1 lb form factor that lives in your golf bag. The GDS Pro gives you photometric camera accuracy — measured spin, not estimated — with no stickers needed, half the room depth requirement (8ft vs 16ft), and 27 data points out of the box.

Verdict: Have 16+ feet of room and want outdoor versatility with the deepest data set? Mevo Gen2 + Pro Package. Tight indoor space with 8-12ft depth and want camera-grade spin accuracy without stickers? GDS Pro.

Who Should Buy the Mevo Gen2

Buy it if:

• You want indoor + outdoor versatility in one device
• You have 16+ feet of room depth for indoor use
• You hate subscriptions (zero required for core data)
• You want the Pro Package upgrade path ($599 one-time for tour-level data)
• You’re coming from a Mevo+ and want the upgrades
• You practice at the range AND in your garage

Don’t buy it if:

• Your indoor space is under 16 feet deep (get a camera unit — SkyTrak+, Omni, or Launch Pro)
• You want a built-in display (the Gen2 needs a phone/tablet/PC)
• You hate applying stickers to balls for indoor spin accuracy (get a camera unit)
• You need tour-level fitting accuracy (save for a GC3 or GCQuad)

The Final Verdict

The Mevo Gen2 is the best radar launch monitor under $1,500. It takes everything the Mevo+ did well and fixes the things it did poorly. Better battery. Modern charging. Camera-enhanced accuracy. Improved short game tracking. Same no-subscription philosophy.

If you have the space and want one device that works indoors and outdoors, charges via USB-C, and never asks you for a monthly fee — this is it. $1,299. Done.

The SkyTrak+ is still the better indoor-only pick if your space is tight. The Square Omni is the better value if you want camera tech and a built-in display. But if you want proven radar accuracy with the flexibility to take it to the range, the Mevo Gen2 is the one.

Better battery (6hrs vs 2-3hrs), USB-C charging, Fusion Tracking (radar + camera) for improved accuracy, and improved putting/chipping tracking. The only downgrade is 8 E6 courses instead of 12. | |Does the Mevo Gen2 need 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. | |Can I upgrade my Mevo+ to Fusion Tracking? |No. Fusion Tracking requires new hardware (the synchronized camera). The Mevo+ is pure radar. The Gen2 is a new device. | |Is the Pro Package worth it? |If you want club path, face angle, dynamic loft, swing plane, and low point — yes. $599 one-time for tour-level data that never expires. No competitor offers this much club data for a one-time fee. If you just want ball data, skip it. | |What is Face Impact Location and how much does it cost? |Face Impact Location is a separate $299 add-on (down from $499 on the Mevo+) that shows you the exact impact point on the clubface as a heatmap. It is NOT included in the Pro Package. You can buy it standalone ($299) or bundled with the Pro Package ($850 total for both). | |Can I add Face Impact Location later? |Yes. Face Impact Location and the Pro Package are both software add-ons linked to your unit. You can buy them at any time through FlightScope’s site and activate them via the FS Golf app. The bundle price ($850 for both) is available whether you buy at checkout or later. | |How much room do I need? |16 feet minimum for indoor use (8 feet behind the ball, 8 feet of ball flight). Outdoors, you just need 8 feet behind the ball with unrestricted flight. If your indoor space is under 16 feet, get a camera-based unit instead. | | |Need the right balls for the FlightScope Mevo Gen 2? → Check our Best Golf Balls for Simulator guide (RCT recommended for indoor spin accuracy) |
