 Now I've reviewed quite a few products over the last couple of years but I've got to say I've not been more excited than I have been today and I'm reviewing the FlightScope Mevo Plus. Yeah I think excited on two levels, one we're on lockdown and I've got no simulator so I can't wait to get stuck into this but on another level I've been trying to get hold of the FlightScope Mevo Plus for a couple of months. Ever since it was launched at the PGA show back in what was in January I've been really interested to get and take a closer look at this so I can't wait to tell you my thoughts because believe me this thing doesn't disappoint. So first of all I'm going to look at the three apps that I've tried with the product itself. I'm going to talk about the accuracy of the data and then I'm going to give you my overall opinion on what I think of this product. I'm going to start off with first of all unboxed it yesterday morning and I have to say really impressed with how it comes in terms of packaging but there's a little quote from Henry Johnson the founder and CEO of FlightScope. He says FlightScope technology is delivered to offer you performance data you can trust in your pursuit of excellence and you know what I think that's a really good statement because I think what this does it brings an accurate amount of data and a huge amount of enjoyment to practice and I think that's a key thing because personally I struggle practicing I struggle hitting aimlessly in the driving range and as you've seen I've built a practice net in my in my garden once again without having feedback and information as to where that ball has gone it's difficult and this is certainly a game changer in that respect but first of all the product itself and what it does well I want to talk about the size of it and the weight of it that's a big shot to me because it literally it weighs that's my iPhone and seriously I don't even know whether it weighs very little difference to what the iPhone itself does I got the product delivered unboxed it and like most of us went to the quick start guy didn't read any great user manual and just wanted to hit some balls and get up and running and it did it very very quickly indeed and I was able to soon find my own way and if I put a time on it I'm going to say conservatively within five to ten minutes I had this thing paired with the phone I was in golf balls into the net and it was recording data honestly and it was close to five minutes and this thing was running it's literally a case of sweet I'd already downloaded the apps it's literally case of switching this thing on pairing it with your phone and you're away it is that simple I just want to make a reference before I forget in terms of depending on where you're looking to use this product and in this for closed environments which is classed as an indoor short area you need to have really 16 foot between the net and the radar itself and the way that works is between net and ball as a minimum of eight foot required and from ball to radar it's another eight foot so just bear that in mind that's a really important thing if you're using any shorter space that in terms of your practice area this won't work but that aside it works indoor and outdoor and I love the idea of being able to take this out on the golf course even and for me to do some club testing outside it's a fantastic piece of kit but the apps themselves and there's three apps that you're going to need e6 connect which is the simulator software you've got FS skills and FS golf and to start off with FS skills because that's the first app that I opened and like I said paired up very very quickly and straight away I was in balls but what this does the skills app literally does exactly what you'd expect it to it tests your ability and it makes practice so much more interesting and what I did was went straight to pitching where do you think that's where it might even start off it throws up a target of 50 yards you hit five balls to the 50 yard target you get a score and then it moves it on to a 75 100 yards you can also mix that up in terms of the yard as you can throw up a variable so one might be a 50 yard wedge the next thing you've got to reach for your six iron because you've got it 170 I like that idea because that's how a game of golf is played you don't always play the same club over and over again so that was something that was interesting and the levels of difficulty again they can change significantly and that's the basis of the app there's a lot more in there but on the pure basis of your understanding the practice element that's what it does and for me the game change in terms of instead of me just hitting balls aimlessly into this white net that I had done for four days all of a sudden I was getting instant feedback in where that ball was going and was I hitting the yardage that I was expecting to hit with each club that I had in the bag so again for gapping purposes fantastic but they they they they you know there's other products out there that do that currently so next up is I went into the e6 connect which is the the software the gaming software and this is fantastic I'm using a demo piece of kit at the moment so for me it's something I've got access to one golf course and believe me I'm addicted already so the idea to switch it up between 17 is fantastic but again it's it's just very engaging I suppose is the word and for the quality of the of what you're seeing visually it's fantastic the accuracy of where the ball is going as well again really feels like it's going where you're aiming and you soon know if you know your own swing where a ball is probably going to end up but just to see good shots rewarded middle of the fairway and all of a sudden you're playing into greens like I said it takes for me whilst FS skills is something more of a repetitive drilling in yardage is that type of proper proper practice this brings a huge fun element to playing a round of golf but within an environment at your home and in this case we're on lockdown right now I played the game on my own but the idea of having a few friends around a few beers and to play this in the garden I think it'd be a fantastic bit of fun and like I said it's just so easy to set up and one thing to mention with all of these apps they're very very intuitive they're very very easy to use I have not read one user manual since I went to the quick start guide it was a case of just flicking through finding your own way through most of it is very much self-explanatory and very easy to understand so again that's the important bit you don't want a complicated setup you don't want to be messing around trying to connect to the machine and like I said seriously it's a case of switching the app on switching the machine on and you're done you're good to go finally FS golf itself the app this is the bit where I think it's more data led where you're purely you're looking at drilling down numbers looking at your spin numbers for me on a testing level I think it's fantastic it's perfect just where I need every parameter that you could want in terms of data is there for you to access but for me the key numbers like carry distance launch angle spin number ball speed club head speed they're all there for you to access and I really like that that's key element for me and the final bit that I want to talk about well let's just mention first of all about FS golf you can also record yourself on your camera phone with the swing and then it'll throw up the data that's relative to that swing so again just a little bit of added enjoyment elements that's great it's a great to share on social media that kind of thing it's very easy to do in that sense but for me it's more about the data and finally the accuracy of that data and all I can say is this I've not got it lined up with several different machines to compare what each one of them says and ultimately I suppose who knows which one of them is right anyway but what I will say is this I've been using Trackman for the best part of 18 months I know my wedge 7 iron driver numbers and I know what my spin number would be probably pretty much for each club and the yardage that I expect as well and it's very easy to sort of check back in terms of what I've achieved with with the data on Trackman but I am more than comfortable that the data this is collecting is is accurate I mean I don't know how far off if we paired them both together each would be but I think you've also got to understand levels and for me when you're talking about a couple of yards here and there or a spin number that's a few hundred revs difference here and there if that was the case it's not going to impact on my level of play anyway but like I said I don't even know whether that to be the case but the information I've got bearing in mind all the tests that I've done I'd be more than comfortable in saying this is very very accurate any information that's gathered in small point to mention you need these sort of silver small dots which if you want more accurate numbers in terms of your spin data you attach one dot to to the golf ball itself facing away from you the opposite end to the radar and again it gives more accurate reading in terms of spin data that's something to bear in mind um other than that I literally I've got no more to say apart from the fact this is one heck of a good product it's got a price tag I mean it let's not be around the bushes I think UK price sixteen seventeen hundred pounds so it's by no means cheap but if you look at the current marketplace it's pitched in around where SkyTrack is then go to the other end of the spectrum you've got Trackman you've got GC Quad you've then got GC2 but for me and then bottom maybe Mevo it's sort of junior products in around £400 so it's very much again dependent on budget it's very much dependent on what you want to spend on this thing but for me at 1700 quid for what it provides the level of accuracy in terms of data the fun the enjoyment in terms of the e6 connect the simulator software and then coupled with just the fun element it brings to the skills app I think it's an unbelievably good value piece of product and the only way I can put it is this I've got this for a week or so and I've got a funny feeling I'm gonna end up having to part with some money because for what I do to bring the fun to practice in the back garden to bring the fun to having friends around and then to be able to take it into a serious environment to collect data for club testing and the accuracy that brings I think it's an absolutely all-round fantastic product right I'm gonna end it there I'm gonna carry on doing plenty of reviews while I've got the machine itself join us next week or so as ever keep on watching thumbs up if I've missed anything by all means ask a question and as ever I'll make every attempt to answer in the comments below right thanks for watching as ever stay safe take care do all the things we should be doing right now and hopefully we'll be back out on the fairways pretty soon
