I owned a mevo+. I strongly strongly advise that if you don't have that 19ft+ total space, that you don't waste your money. It gave my very wonky spin numbers and as this guy says, it can't factor in gear affect, at least when I had it. In my opinion, you really should have this affect accounted for at least somehow, as it can make a huge difference in ball flight.
Great insight into both devices. What’s your thoughts on the club (wedge) matrix and club mapping with the ST+? I’m on the fence between these two devices. Space wise I’m very close with Mevo, so ST+ would be the winner…just don’t want to have “buyers remorse” afterwards. Keep up the great content
I think gspro has club mapping as well and I’m guessing the FS app does so I don’t think you’ll miss out on it. I think they are both great devices, when I’ve had the guys over they’ve shows more enjoyment with the consistency of the Mevo plus but they are both great devices at the end of the day and if space is tight I might go skytrak plus. You for sure need at least 18.5 feet. If you have that comfortably I think probably mevo. But their really close at the end of the day
Have you ever tested the Mevo+ in a smaller hitting zone? Say 7-8 feet of ball flight and the unit 6-7 feet behind the hitting area? I wonder if the unit would be accurate with the shorter distance to read the shots. You know your numbers so good from playing indoors that you'd be able to tell instantly.
When you're using the simulator with right handed friends over, playing rounds, is it as simple as just moving the SkyTrak+ when it's your turn to hit, or is it more cumbersome than that? Thanks!
@@GolfBusters Thanks for the quick reply. Looking to setup a sim and your channel has been great to get a good idea on what to aim for. Just subscribed. Cheers
The Mevo + is not going to be my choice for my situation. I’m waffling back and forth between the skytrak + and the Bushnell launch pro. I have some that same skytrak and others that say Bushnell. The only reason I have not bought the Bushnell is yet is because of the yearly subscription fees. I know at the end of the day it is my choice but this is a lot of money for me and I MUST make a wise choice. Any wisdom on this choice?
Now that skytrak+ has a full integration with gspro (albeit not official) I would go with the skytrak+, I think the two units are very close and you get more club data with the skytrak+. Send me and email at golfbustersofficial@gmail.com and I can probably get you an extra discount code as well.
What about short chips with the MEVO+? My garmin has a really hard time with chips under 20 yards. I am forced to hit 60 degree flop shots when im 10-20 yards away.
Hi nice video. I’ll just be using this outside in my cage/net that I’m building. Is the Mevo Plus Pro Package at $2,500 worth it over the Garmin R10 that I can get new for $500 and Awesome Golf for $300? So basically a $1,700 difference.
I 1000% think it is. The garmin struggles with driving significantly and is a big step below the Mevo. I currently own 8 simulator devices and the Mevo+ is still the one I use the most.
Thanks for a great comparative review! I prefer the Mevo + cause I pay once and I'm done. However, space is somewhat of an issue. I have the 8' of distance from the hitting mat back to the Mevo +. But, I may have a potential problem if the 'required' field of view for the Mevo +, to function at its highest potential, cannot look down an 8', narrow corridor (I am exaggerating for clarity of my issue but I do have a solid object to the front & left that narrows the field of view). If all I need is a straight on, line of sight to the golf ball then I am good. Do you think I should be concerned?
I was looking at your setup for the mevo+ it looked very close, the FS guys say it should be 8 ft away yours looks more like 5. that might be the perspective of the video but how far was it? I find the mevo+ to be very in accurate indoors, but great outdoors. I have tried many times with FS support but it still thinks my 7 iron goes 120 yards. I am probably moving to a photometric based monitor.
I have my Mevo 8 feet to ball and 10.5 feet of flight with RCT balls while selecting the rct ball option in gspro. Carry yardages are the exact same as other big name units from my tests
@@GolfBusters Thanks for clarifying your setup and that you find it working correctly, it gives me some hope. Outdoors against trackman it is spot on. My setup is about the same as yours 8 ft ball to mevo 10 feet , ball to screen. My pw is the only club that is correct, from there the distances just diverge. My indoor my 7 iron is 120, outdoor with mevo on the range its 145. have yet to find what is wrong with the indoor setup.
@@GolfBusters Thanks for that reply. I am familiar with the notion of indoor swing syndrome, i do not have as much width as you have so I can see it as a possibility with my driver, but my pw is right on the number. i can't imagine my 7 iron swing is slower indoor than outdoor when its an inch( or so ?)longer than the pw. I wish i could say that was the reason, i need to try and validate that. But if you know you speed is different indoor to outdoor and you have so much indoor room, i cant rule out the possibility.
If you feel you can get 7 feet radar to ball and about 10 feet ball to screen you should be good. If you have to go under that I would recommend skytrak+ or gc3. We have discount codes for all 3 devices. Email us at GolfBustersofficial@gmail.com if you want a discount code
Hi great video, i setting up a simulator, and looking at the mevo limited edition, but what i was interested in was the lighting , you mentioned the LED lighting for face contact, the link goes to strip lighting but would i be correct to think you have what we call down lights installed in the roof are theses Led also do these dim down too ?
@@GolfBusters ok Thanks, i guess it depends on your room size also, i have seen it suggested to get LED non flicker style i will see what i can find, thanks again if i have any more question i will reach out cheers mal
Thanks for your videos. I’m thinking of making an investment into a launch monitor and I’m really down to these two units (unless I back out and go basic…the Mevo). My initial use will be on the range as I learn new clubs for the first time in 15 years. At some point next year, I’ll make an indoor range. My question for you is about the ST+. It says it is both Doppler radar and camera based. Does it not follow the ball through the entire flight when used at the range, like other radar LM’s?
Golfbuster guy, question. I have an R10 and many of my shots when playing gspro are way left or way right. On a really course I may miss maybe 10% of the time, so I’m pretty straight. I think the problem is that my room is to narrow and this is causing the problem with R10, but I can’t get anyone to confirm that. I’ve been thinking about upgrading to MiniEye, but after watching your video, maybe the skylark+ or flightscope would work. Any opinion would be appreciated
I think the r10 is more of a toy than a dedicated simulator. If your concerned most about correct shape shot 100% of the time I would go skytrak+. If you want correct carry 100% of the time. Mevo+ with rct balls and gspro will get you better results.
Thanks for the video. Can you give me a few more details, please I am on the fence between SKYTRAK + & MEVO+. I am a big fan of SKYTRAK but I noticed they do not have angle of attach and face impact. I will purchase the GSPRO as the software. However, I am very interested in Club Path and face impact, attk angle. 1. In order to get club impact location from mevo i'd have to purchase their add on to see it through GSPro am I correct? 2. I noticed that Skytrak + does not have angle of attack and face impact is that right? Thanks in advance!
Hey pand! Correct on all parts. If you buy the Mevo+ limited edition face impact and all the other club data will come pre packed. The Mevo+ is the one I would recommend if you have the space. Out of the 10 regulars I have over most, they prefer the Mevo+
@@GolfBusters Thank you so much for the prompt response! and helping me decide. I will go with a used mevo plus and add on all club features + gspro software. Looking forward to more of your vids!
Which med tier launch monitors take video of each swing automatically so you can view which swings were the good ones? Makes no sense to stare at data all day if you can't match good stats with the correct swings you're making.
@@VoodooZ Can that be used with other units or only Mevo? I really like the idea of steady videos of all swings and going through them after a session, there's no faster way to learn.
@@cryptoking8060Being a flightscope product It should only work with their units. You could buy a third party software like V1 or Swing Catalyst but they are much pricier (and featureful)
@@cryptoking8060I love the idea too as it captures some of your swings when you're playing well or not for archival. I have swings from 2020 i reviewed the other day to see how far I've progressed.. with all the metrics.
I'm more interested in swing path and face angles in my search for an inside simulator. Do you have any feedback on the better system for those functions. Thanks
I would take the Mevo+ for that. Make sure to hit your ball off the center line of the Mevo though. Still works great if your ball is slightly off center but it’s gonna work best when your ball is right down the line.

Do any of these show ACTUAL flight path? I've never seen someone play a fade by starting their ball to the left of the target and having it actually curve and end up on the right side of the target. In other words, I've never seen the flight path rendered by these things start to head to one side of the target line and then cross back over that line to the other side. Can you please make a video to demonstrate whether or not (or which of) these units can do this?
@@GolfBusters That's my point.. The flight path never CLEARLY crosses the line to target in any video I've ever seen. It shouldn't be that hard for a pro to demonstrate the capabilities of the product by shaping a shot that starts out by getting 10 or 15 yards left of the target line at its apogee, then fades/slices and hits the ground 10 to 15 yards to the right of the target line. After all, this is how a lot of amateurs deal with their slices; i.e. by aiming to the left of the target.
@M57 we have that in a good amount of videos but that’s not a shot shape I had at the time I was very neutral in my path. Videos with Ryan Leunk, and brad show this shot shape more
@@GolfBusters Can you please point me to any of those videos? I just searched Ryan's videos on youtube and I can't find anything resembling a product review.
I would have 8' of distance from the Mevo+ to the ball, but only about 9' of distance to the impact net. The manual says you need 13' of distance for the shot. Does anyone know if the Mevo+ will still be accurate with less than 13' of distance from the ball to impact? Thanks
Can you further explain why Mevo+ with pro package and face impact cannot properly read gear effect? We play a lot and notice bad readings on out to in swings with neutral face and low heel shots pulling to the left and never fading and I simply don’t understand why it cannot compute gear effect.
They are working on it, as to the exact reason I am unsure why. They will in the future be able to use face impact to help the algorithm calculate the dispersion left and right
Hey! It could be great, I know they recommend at least 9 feet for accurate results but I haven't tested it in a while from 9 feet. It may be best to go skytrak+ in this case but you could always get the mevo+ try it and see if you like it.
Excellent comparison on these two units and which will help in deciding which one will work for you in your space
I owned a mevo+. I strongly strongly advise that if you don't have that 19ft+ total space, that you don't waste your money. It gave my very wonky spin numbers and as this guy says, it can't factor in gear affect, at least when I had it.

I wonder if the unit would be accurate with the shorter distance to read the shots. You know your numbers so good from playing indoors that you'd be able to tell instantly.
I know the set up recommendations are very important. I think 7 feet to unit would be fine but 7-8 feet of ball flight would not
When you're using the simulator with right handed friends over, playing rounds, is it as simple as just moving the SkyTrak+ when it's your turn to hit, or is it more cumbersome than that? Thanks!
It’s been a while since I’ve done it but I believe it’s that’s simplw
When you say "pull it back for short chips" regarding the mevo+, I'm assuming you mean moving the ball closer to the mevo right?
Yes, watch our set up video, there’s a setting in gspro that changes where the device aims to read the ball for chipping.
@@GolfBusters Thanks for the quick reply. Looking to setup a sim and your channel has been great to get a good idea on what to aim for. Just subscribed. Cheers
What about using outdoors in a net? I heard the SkyTrak + is dookie in direct sunlight :/
I would go Mevo+ outdoors. Radar is better outdoors. I wouldn’t hit skytrak+ outdoors.
It looks like you have the Mevo+ protected behind glass. It that recommended? Does it skew the data?
Not recommended but I haven't seen it skew the data.
The Mevo + is not going to be my choice for my situation. I’m waffling back and forth between the skytrak + and the Bushnell launch pro. I have some that same skytrak and others that say Bushnell.

For the MEVO+ What is the minimum distance from the device to the ball and the minimum distance from the ball to the screen
Devise to ball 7’ ball to screen I wouldn’t go under 9.5 feet
What about short chips with the MEVO+? My garmin has a really hard time with chips under 20 yards. I am forced to hit 60 degree flop shots when im 10-20 yards away.

What would be ideal!?.. 7-8 feet radar to ball them 10-12ft ball to screen?
Which launch monitor is best for outdoor range use?
Mevo+ no question, radar trumps camera outdoors and the Skytrak+ won't work on real grass
What did u use to confirm the accuracy of the club data on these 2 units? Did u compare against a gc3 or quad?
Compared to gc3 and video footage of the apogee and their club data.
Did u make a video of this? I’d love to see it. When i compared my ST+ with a trackman the club data was very innacurate on the ST+.
Have you compared spin rates of a pro v1 and pro v1x on either of these units using the RCT balls?

Agreed
If you call 1 second long then you're correct. I have the new skytrak and not an issue
@@johnwayne2187it’s average is 2.15 seconds not 1 second the old skytrak is 2.61
True. You can get your practice done in half the time with the Mevo.
I find it helps keep your head down, you’re not instantly pulling up to look for a shot. Which is good practice to have.
Great review!
Thanks!
