I'll be ordering several this Friday. If you'd like to get in on them, check out the topic in the Locker Room forum, or send me a PM for pricing.

Pricing will be a bit less than the retail price.

Looks good. I will send you a PM.

I definitely will be ordering one. Really looking forward to improving my distance wedge game, speed practice and using it for general equipment testing. Can't wait!

Plus you'll get good yardages on your downhill range (the Mevo calculates to a level landing area).

Charging mine. . .

Can't wait to use it on the range tomorrow.

 

My irons game really sucks, and I wonder how most people start using it for approaches? Are people looking at carry and direction only and trying to fine tune their swing to get the most consistent distances or trying to max out their distances in hopes that their distances will be consistent in that way?

Thanks, I just downloaded the app and see the option. Gonna test it out tomorrow, hopefully can get it working somewhat properly. Might need to buy more of those metallic dots as the balls I'll be using are range balls. Will take a photo of the range balls as they already have markings for a simulator there, but thinking those markings might be different than the dot required by Mevo. There is a TV in the stalls, I hope there's no interference.

It's heavy, got some stuff packed in there.

It's supposed to completely shut down after a minute, but the blue LEDs keep blinking after I shut down the application and eject it from the task list, they go on for more than a few minutes and just keep blinking. Is this normal? I feel like this is just draining the battery when I just want it to turn off.

It turns itself off, yes, after a minute or so.

The battery lasts four hours. Turning off after a minute is not reducing your battery life much.

Do the videos get recorded to the camera roll so you can export, upload to YT, etc...?

Yes.

Not with the data overlaid, though.

Unless you are indoors, you don't need the dots.

That's what I was expecting, but I think my attempts to turn it off put it in some weird ping mode for Bluetooth. I finally connected again the it shot down afte a minute.

I was all set to take a ton of data taking my time setting it up,  carefully measuring distances and leveling it.

Got one shot that I uploaded with my LW. Still figuring out how to share the screens.

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.
