MEVO Flightscope Data

[jsgolfer]

So as being the blue team MVP for NC, I received the Mevo Flightscope.  I'll have a much more detailed review later, but have a few numbers shown below, as I've only had a couple of chances to play around with it so far due to weather.  But it is pretty damn cool, now I just need to see how to use the data that I have.  This data was on our range, hitting off the mats with Callaway range balls.   Compared to the pga stats, my launch angle is a little higher for the driver and the 7-iron.

How far behind was the Mevo?

With the driver, I found that if you put it at 4', it over-stated swing speed (resulting in a low smash factor), and if you put it at 7' it got them both pretty much dead on.

I only ask because your smash factor averaged out to only 1.4 and your clubhead speed was a bit higher than I'd have guessed you swing.

The 7' difference doesn't seem to be needed with shorter clubs that have a smaller swing radius/arc. Just the driver and other 40"+ clubs.

Nice! Were you using the stickers?

Interesting. Do you set the distance to 4' or 7' in the app?

Those smash factors of yours are really low, @jsgolfer. I'm getting 1.45+ on the Mevo, and I just played around with a Trackman the other day that had me closer to 1.5.

It was probably a little more than 4 feet, but definitely not seven.  I'll try it at 7' next time I use it.

4' in the App

I'm off tomorrow and it's supposed to be a balmy 41 degrees and sunny, I may have to go over to the course and mess around with it a little.

Set it to the distance you set the Mevo at. In other words, put the Mevo down, measure it, and put that distance into the app. Give or take a foot.

It's likely because his swing speed is coming across as higher than it is. I like @jsgolfer and all… but he doesn't swing 108.

ok

I'm confused between the Ben Crane thing with the stickers and Mevo. For Mevo, you put them on the ball right? Crane it was on the clubhead, no?

Yes, on the ball. But they're not even really needed outdoors.

Ben Crane's system used a camera, not radar, I think.

Yes, you put them on the ball, but at least for me, I didn't need it.  It might be necessary if you're inside hitting into a net, but I haven't done that yet.

I would definitely stick an RFID locator on this thing, like a Chipolo. I wonder if owners do that for the cost as much as a car radars.

Why?

It's never more than seven feet from you. And it might muck with the internal radar or the Bluetooth connectivity.

Just got my mevo,

Liking it so far.

Im guessing a lot of us are stuck with range balls.

I understand they are also all different.

But my question is, has anyone played around with the altitude setting to simulate the carry distance to premium golf balls?
