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.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
