It doesn't say much, sounds like the guy did a quick out of the box test he'll be comparing it to a Trackman later, will keep an eye out for that.

I figured we could split one, and since I live by more practice facilities, I'd hold onto it for when you came down.

I PM'd you. Here's another forum's thread on it. Apparently you need stickers on the ball for the spin number, we can split that too.

I got my mevo on friday, but only had a chance to use it for a little bit yesterday. 

I had trouble getting it to pick up shots, because I didn't use the "sight" they put on the top of it to line up your ball. Next time I get to use it I will use that and mark on my mat where the ball goes. 

As far as the data, I was too excited and didn't set the elevation in the app, so it was a little off. Not by much though, I hit with the metal dots and without and with an iron it had a minimal impact on distance difference. 

I got the mevo so I can hit in my cage at home and see what my carry is, at least initially. My goal this year is to get my driving distance up, and the nearest range is about a 40 minute drive. I'll probably still go at least once a week though so I can see my ball flight.

I read from the other forum that you may require a minimal distance (ball to net & ball to mevo) for home's golf net. Do you have any problem with that?

I have a 10 x 10 x 10 hitting "cage" that my mat sits inside, I did have some issues with it not picking up on some hits but I think that was more because I didn't have it setup properly than the flight time.

Update to this, FS released an app update that forced you to move the mevo back from the tee to at least 5 feet. That fixed my issues with it not picking up shots. So I think 8' is enough, but 10' from the net would be ideal.

      Have You Played Where a PGA, Champions, or LPGA Event Has Been Played?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      In March of 1978 I got to play Pebble Beach GC. Played it from the back tees, since I knew I'd probably never play it again. Oops, shot 102.  Three weeks later, I played Torrey Pines - South, again from the back tees (maybe 6,700 yds in those days). Shot an 87, and missed a birdie putt on the lakeside No. 18 green. In 2021, I played TPC Deere Run in the Quad Cities area. This is site of the John Deere Classic. It was early October and the course was undergoing renovation, so I got to play the front nine twice for $110, lunch included. The course was great and the driving range was unbelievable. Hint: you need to pay attention to the wind drafts before you try to challenge the cross bunkers! BTW, Deere Run is a public course. Norwood Hills Country Club is site of the Champions tour event, the Ascension Charity Classic, now the Stifel Charity Classic. This classic layout has 36 holes.This summer I hope to play the West course where the Champions event is held; Missouri Golf Association is sponsoring an amateur event there.  I have played the shorter East course three times - it's quirky but quite fun. Also: Circa 2000 I played il Picciolo, a course at the base of Mount Etna in Sicily. The volcano was spewing ash that week. The course frequently hosts European pro events. Lots of elevation change and gently rippling fairways. Left a 7i shot 10 yards short of green on one par 5. Turns out the hole had a 12-foot high alpine flagstick, and I was not as close to the green as I thought I was (bad perspective).

      Just the Plantation course at Kapalua. Not like I didn't know it, but it was a visceral reminder of how ridiculously good the tour pros are. That course is f***ing *hard* playing it from ~6500 yards. From the tips!? Then if there's wind?!

      How far back are we talking? Like I've played Inwood on Long Island and that held a US Open back in the day (nearly 100 years ago now). Courses that have held big events recently: Shinnecock Hills Merion Bethpage Black Winged Foot West Kiawah Island Ocean TPC Sawgrass Walton Heath Old Royal St Georges Royal Liverpool The Old Course Turnberry Muirfield Kingsbarns Royal Porthcawl Phoenix Country Club A few others that have held European Tour events relatively recently, and then these ones that held big events a long time ago: Royal Cinque Ports Prestwick Princes Inwood

      I get he thinks he can compete, but it's time to enjoy retirement. Get involved in golf in other ways. Go design hundreds of new courses. Expand the game. Maybe tee it up at the Majors from time to time. Yea, it is over.

      Firestone North (I think it was the world series of golf at the time, but it was held on the North course one year due to maintenance needed on the South Course.) Firestone South (Bridgestone Inv) TPC Sawgrass (The Players Championship) Pine Needles (U.S. Women's Open) There might be some other ones I am not aware of, but these are ones off the top of my head.  I am probably scratching off Whistling Straights and Erin Hills later this year 😁
