Own the exact same unit and use it for concentrated practice Gives you all the numbers for an outdoor practice session you need vs price of course. Biggest takeaway for me was using it and seeing the numbers/hearing them and working on tempo. When practiced this way could really get through the ball. I practiced like mad this season to go from 10.9 to 7.6 ultimately WHS index which I did and this unit was a big part of my success. Ultimately tempo is king and this unit really helped me. The numbers dont lie. Excellent video. Thanks.
@ None at all. However in my app I will tell it what club I am hitting (I use Apple iOS) and that way I can figure out my averages per club (GIR came up a good 14% from this unit) Numbers are very on par with trackman as well…. Can’t say enough good things about this unit
I find it quite amazing that little device can provide that amount of detail! Price is definitely reasonable too. As long as it’s fairly accurate it seems like a great product that many golfers would learn from. I was worried the little bunched up part of the rope behind you and infront of the device would mess it up, but it didn’t. Thanks for the info Lester!
Great review - I have used the MEVO for quite a long time and love it. It's worth selecting which club you are using as it seems to improve accuracy, something to do with the flight window it looks at apparently!! I also have the spin number up as using range balls a lot of the time and that obviously makes a difference even if you can set it to range balls. Overall a great practice tool for an amateur for whom to much data would just mess me up!!
Good review. Also worth mentioning used in conjunction with phone camera you can video your shots, draw lines , slow motion, etc to analyse your swing.
Didn't even know these sort of products were out there. Bloke I have lessons with uses Flightscope, and it's decent stuff... Slight difference in the 15k his costs to this though. Definitely going to give it a look! Great vid as always Bernie. Every day golfer making content for the every day golfer, not trying to boggle everyone with too much info, just what we want to know!
Have the Mevo Plus which has the pro package. It’s proved to be as accurate as the top end Flightscope launch monitors at many times the price. It’s still small enough to fit in the stand bag for the range to do gapping or practice. The only launch monitor I’d change it for would be the Foresight GC3 but then I don’t have £7.5k doing nothing.
Awesome review, Bernie! I'm amazed by what it can do for how small and inexpensive it is. It would be great to have one to do a gapping test of the irons I'm in the process of buying.
Good review Lester👍🏻. I have the swing caddie SC4 which is the latest model and I really like it. I don’t use the simulator software side, I just use it for club distances more than anything. I had the swing caddie 300i before this one and loved that model too.
I have and like my Garmin R1O launch monitor but good to see your exposition of the Mevo which as you showed is pretty good for the price. All I need to do is to take my shots from the practise session onto the course, is there a gizzmo which helps with that which you can review as if so I will buy one pdq 🤣
The Mevo links to your phone and you use your phone camera to take the video. You can then view your videos on the Mevo App, draw lines, angles, etc. it’s very versatile. I have one and I use the video function.
I would love kne of those. I am not convinced by top tracer info and it gives no club data. Bus tour or launch monitor...............bus tour right now me thinks. Good review Bernie
Good review Bernie I’ve got a launch monitor it’s called the ES12 but I’ve not tried it yet. I just think all the ones I’ve looked at are far to expensive for me,I don’t know if this one I’ve got will be any good. To be honest I’ve been waiting for the weather to pick up more before I go and spend time on the range and I need to use a range where I can play off the grass with the balls I use otherwise I don’t think it’s worth it using range balls and off mate. I think you’d not get the correct readings
So there is a mevo+ I assumed that was the “new version” but is it actually a different line? I’d love to see a comparison between the mevo and the Garmin r10. I don’t rate the Rapsodo because it’s 25%rrp year on year to keep it working (which is a joke imho.)
No backspin? I have a PRGR which gives great numbers but at a $200 price, no phone or data storage though, so want to upgrade with spin numbers and store my data. I just started to look into the Mevo and the previous generation Rapsodo.
Nice review dude. Would be great if you could compare this with something more expensive. I’m Thinking about getting one, how accurate is it on carry? I’m off 0 so need something to dial in on my yardages. Thanks
I’d say it’s decent up until woods, but I would say it underestimates the distances on them. I’ll see if I can borrow a trackman or a quad at some stage
Lester.. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I dont think Iv seen anyone do a video on trickshots or A trickshot comp.. That wud be good content.. Also wierd product reviews.. I know golfmates gained a lot of followers doing product reviews.. oval shape golf ball.. Anti slice golf ball ect.. Rick Sheils same thing.. Always good content.. Best of luck Bernie 👍🏼 ☘️
It’s funny you should say that Jimmy. I’ve just been on Amazon looking at strange / weird products including a black ball! 😂 thanks for the suggestion!
@@berniebarnesgolf you could use your repair skills to custom make wierd wedge designs from old 2nd hand wedges.. Different face inserts.. Rubber.. Copper..sandpaper.. Hard wood ect... The repairs vids are good too.. You cud put together a good repair set on a workbench..make some videos showing how you customised the clubs.. Club refurbishment videos are cool aswel
Might be worth putting instructions on every other video on how to make a Google account sign into UA-cam and subscribe to your channel. Even though its 2024 not everyone finds it as easy setting things up. My Mum for example would just search your name and watch and repeat...she's subscribed now 😁👍
Separate video maybe, then when you ask to hit subscribe tell them there is a video on your channel how to sign up. I tell a lot of people to sub to their favourite UA-cam channels but it's making a Google account and pairing their TV that puts them off...until I go round for a brew and do it for them 😁
Personally i would want club path and attack angle from a launch monitor. This is ok for working out distances but one trip to the range could do that.
Skip the review…….mevo is awful and inaccurate. Got rid of mine after 2 days. In addition farming r10 is just as bad………save your money and get a sky trak
Bernie. Interesting review but you really do need to improve how you present. Clearly just reading the box, forgetting your driver, cracked screen on your phone and not showing the app on your phone plus inability to read anything your showing on your phone. Just not very progressional and not what your expected from a channel. Sorry
It’s meant to be funny Neil, trying not to be a robot. Keep getting told to “put personality” into your videos 😂 literally can’t win. Not many people are interested in a review so it has to be different and funny if I’m doing them. Maybe my content isn’t for you.

Great review! Thanks for the feedback. Have you had any issues with using it with a driver?

I’m really pleased with it and it does what I need (and more) for the money it’s amazing!

Thanks for watching Tyler. It does what I want / need and no issues so far. I’m yet to test driver with it or try it in the net.
@@berniebarnesgolf Seems like it will be a useful tool for you and very easy to bring out on the course if you want to!
Exactly and will provide sine additional numbers during reviews

Thanks for the feedback John! It’s great to get someone’s opinion who’s used it for a substantial time.
Good review. Also worth mentioning used in conjunction with phone camera you can video your shots, draw lines , slow motion, etc to analyse your swing.
I’ll be honest I’ve never used any of those features yet David. Purely used it for distances. I will play with it a little more.
Believe the standard MEVO unit has no camera function. Only the mevo plus
Didn't even know these sort of products were out there. Bloke I have lessons with uses Flightscope, and it's decent stuff... Slight difference in the 15k his costs to this though. Definitely going to give it a look! Great vid as always Bernie. Every day golfer making content for the every day golfer, not trying to boggle everyone with too much info, just what we want to know!

I totally agree with you. For what I need and what my budget is, this will do the job!
Awesome review, Bernie! I'm amazed by what it can do for how small and inexpensive it is. It would be great to have one to do a gapping test of the irons I'm in the process of buying.
I’ll do that too Howie and test it with a driver as that seems to be an issue or one that’s being mentioned.
Good review Lester👍🏻. I have the swing caddie SC4 which is the latest model and I really like it. I don’t use the simulator software side, I just use it for club distances more than anything. I had the swing caddie 300i before this one and loved that model too.
I’m the same Paul, using them in there purest form.
Good review & for those seeking an option on a budget it ticks the boxes!
Absolutely it ticks the box Martyn.
I have and like my Garmin R1O launch monitor but good to see your exposition of the Mevo which as you showed is pretty good for the price. All I need to do is to take my shots from the practise session onto the course, is there a gizzmo which helps with that which you can review as if so I will buy one pdq 🤣
Issue I’ve got David is if I found that gizmo I’m not sure I’d want to share it mate 😂 😂
Lester, the objective tester! Thanks for your review, maybes i will order a similar product... Good luck!
Cheers Michael! Trying to make the reviews a bit different.
Enjoyed that review. That’s a nice gizmo. The other one I’d be interested in is the Garmin R10.
I’d like to try / test that one too Gary
The Mevo links to your phone and you use your phone camera to take the video. You can then view your videos on the Mevo App, draw lines, angles, etc. it’s very versatile. I have one and I use the video function.
I’ve not really used or experimented with the Mevo in that way yet David. Purely using it for distance measurements currently.
Good review, just loved the bit where you told us you had read it off the box!
Had to leave a hit of humour in there David 😂
Got the mevo+. I would say if you can stretch to go for that, 1900 and you basically get a trackman.
The trackman is an impressive bit of kit mate
I would love kne of those. I am not convinced by top tracer info and it gives no club data. Bus tour or launch monitor...............bus tour right now me thinks. Good review Bernie
It’s definitely worth looking at Tim, but yeah Bus Tour is better 😂
Good review Bernie I’ve got a launch monitor it’s called the ES12 but I’ve not tried it yet.
I just think all the ones I’ve looked at are far to expensive for me,I don’t know if this one I’ve got will be any good.
To be honest I’ve been waiting for the weather to pick up more before I go and spend time on the range and I need to use a range where I can play off the grass with the balls I use otherwise I don’t think it’s worth it using range balls and off mate.
I think you’d not get the correct readings
I’m in a similar situation to you David and think this one will do what I need it too.
So there is a mevo+ I assumed that was the “new version” but is it actually a different line? I’d love to see a comparison between the mevo and the Garmin r10. I don’t rate the Rapsodo because it’s 25%rrp year on year to keep it working (which is a joke imho.)
If I can get hold of a Garmin R10 I’ll do a comparison.
Audio is distorted. Try turning down the microphone recording level (gain). Thanks for the review!
Will do, thanks.
Interesting video Lester. Do you know if it works/how accurate it is if used in warm-up nets?
I don’t Jonathan, I will test it out more now
No backspin? I have a PRGR which gives great numbers but at a $200 price, no phone or data storage though, so want to upgrade with spin numbers and store my data.
I just started to look into the Mevo and the previous generation Rapsodo.
I think you can update it or buy a package that shows that mate. I literally bought the entry level model as that’s all I could really afford.
The MEVO does provide spin.
Great review mate.
We have the GarminR10 works great.
Are those the only stats the Mevo gives?
You can do the spin off the ball with the stickers they provide
Nice review dude. Would be great if you could compare this with something more expensive. I’m
Thinking about getting one, how accurate is it on carry? I’m off 0 so need something to dial in on my yardages. Thanks
I’d say it’s decent up until woods, but I would say it underestimates the distances on them. I’ll see if I can borrow a trackman or a quad at some stage
@@berniebarnesgolf thanks, not sure what to do. Have you tested the Garmin g10?
No but Dan has compared it to his GC Quad I think in a past video
good review as always Bernie
Cheers Mick!
Good honest review as usual
Thanks Mark. If I think anything is rubbish I will tell you.
It's that small I wonder if there are any golf launch monitor phone apps you could compare it to?
I’ll see what’s available and see if I can get one / buy one David.
Decent review Bernie. Any idea how it compares to the Rapsodo MLM?
I’m going to try and borrow one to compare the two John
@@berniebarnesgolf cool. However, I did just order the mevo as flightscope have a USPGA deal on and also gave me an additional 5% on top of that.
You won’t be disappointed!
Can it just measure club head speed without hitting balls, so it can be used for swing speed practice 👍🏼
No you need to hit balls with it mate
Yes. Recent firmware update allows this.

Bryan Bro's?
Brilliant review 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Dave!
Here it is 😊
As requested Kev 😂
It's about half the size of the r10 I've got . Decent though isn't it
Yeah I like it and it does what I want I think
Nice review Bernie
Cheers Stevie
Good piece of kit for the price.
I think so Andrew
It’s pretty good for €330🤩
I think so Damien, less than the price of a driver!
Good job you didn’t have your driver as it struggles picking the shot up. Good video though mate. Keep it up
I haven’t hit driver on it yet if I’m honest. I’ll do a test on it with a driver Andrew
Good review mate. So what do you think the problem the talking or the hitting balls?😂
Both 😂 I was out of breathe Brian 😂

Father’s day soon. Any chance of a discount code? I’ll start dropping hints at the dinner table.
Great video as always.
😂 maybe if they see this Liam they may send us a code I can share with you 😂
Banana hamburger algorithm. Good luck.
I’m confused mate 😂
Personally i would want club path and attack angle from a launch monitor. This is ok for working out distances but one trip to the range could do that.
I don’t have a range that has decent balls or a launch monitor unfortunately, so this is perfect for me.
Need to wait til it says ready but ur fault that 😂 otherwise really good at that price
Always my fault mate 😂
Skip the review…….mevo is awful and inaccurate. Got rid of mine after 2 days. In addition farming r10 is just as bad………save your money and get a sky trak
I found the sky track really slow, hit a shot and wait 10 minutes to actually get any data!
Bernie. Interesting review but you really do need to improve how you present.

I’m just working on being more progressional mate
