Time To Upgrade to the Mevo Plus?
Mevo: Radar-powered, pocket-sized, and perfect for quick sessions at the range or in the backyard. Tracks core ball data—without the bells and whistles.
Mevo+: A full-blown simulator-ready training tool. Tracks ball *and* club data, supports simulation, and unlocks deep insights that serious golfers and coaches rely on.
Let’s Start with Price—And What You Actually Get for It
At a glance, the pricing gap is big—roughly $500 for Mevo vs $2,000 for Mevo+, not including the optional $1,000 Pro Package. But that gap exists for a reason.
The Mevo is built to give you reliable ball data quickly. Think carry distance, ball speed, and spin—ideal for distance gapping and casual analysis.
The Mevo+ is a leap forward in both hardware and software: it gives you simulator support, enhanced tracking, and way more swing detail. The Pro Package takes that even further by unlocking a complete picture of your club delivery.
If you’re a numbers geek or setting up a home simulator, that extra cost pays off fast.
How Deep Do You Want to Go with Data?
Mevo covers the basics with 8 data points:
- Ball Speed
- Club Head Speed
- Smash Factor
- Carry Distance
- Vertical Launch Angle
- Spin Rate
- Apex Height
- Flight Time
Mevo+ (standard) adds 8 more, giving you a total of 16 out of the box—including:
- Horizontal Launch Angle
- Angle of Attack
- Spin Axis
- Lateral Landing
- Shot Shape
- Total and Roll Distance
And with the Pro Package, Mevo+ unlocks:
- Club Path
- Face Angle
- Face to Path
- Dynamic Loft
- Vertical Descent Angle
- Club Speed Profile
- And more...
If you just want to know how far your 7-iron goes? Mevo does the job. If you want to know *why* it fades 10 yards right—or how to fix your attack angle—Mevo+ (with Pro) gives you everything.
Let’s Talk Space—Can You Actually Use It Indoors?
Both units use Doppler radar, which means they rely on tracking the ball *through space*—not just at the point of contact. That’s great for outdoor accuracy, but it means indoor setups need more thought.
Mevo needs just 7–8 feet of ball flight, making it very easy to use in garages, basements, or nets.
Mevo+ requires 16 feet total: 8 feet from the ball to the net, and 8 feet behind the ball to the unit. Tight room? That might rule it out.
Simulation Ready? Only One of These Can Play Pebble Beach
If virtual golf is on your wishlist, Mevo+ is a clear winner. It comes ready to simulate with:
- E6 Connect – 5 courses included at no extra cost
- GSPro – High-end, community-favorite sim software
- TGC 2019 – Giant course library + online play
Mevo does not support simulation. It's a pure training tool, not a course-play system.
Bottom line: If your dream setup involves teeing off at Augusta in your garage, Mevo+ is the only choice here.
Portability: Both Travel Well
Both models are designed to go where you go. But they’re not identical.
- Mevo: About the size of a smartphone. Fits in your bag or pocket. Set it up in seconds at the range.
- Mevo+: Roughly the size of a thick paperback. Still lightweight, but you’ll want to keep it protected in a case or gear bag.
We recommend a tripod or alignment dock for Mevo+—it just makes setup smoother and more accurate, especially indoors.
Ease of Use: One’s Plug-and-Play, the Other Takes a Minute
Mevo: Open the app, place the unit 4-7 feet behind you, and go. It’s fast, responsive, and beginner-friendly.
Mevo+: Adds a few extra steps—alignment, space calibration, software setup—but rewards you with more powerful insights. For sim use, expect 5–10 minutes of prep before each session.
If you want the fastest route from range bag to hitting balls, Mevo is the quicker solution. If you want a home sim that runs like a dream, Mevo+ is worth the setup time.
What About Subscriptions?
Here’s where things get simple:
- Mevo: No subscriptions. No unlocks. What you see is what you get.
-
Mevo+: Also works right out of the box—but you can enhance it with:
- Pro Package: Adds advanced club data
- Face Impact Add-On: Adds visual impact location (Pro required)
- Sim Subscriptions: GSPro, TGC, E6 all require licenses
Final Verdict: Which One’s Built for You?
Go with Mevo if:
- You want an ultra-portable device for quick range sessions
- You’re focused on distance gapping and core ball data
- You don’t need simulation or club delivery data
Go with Mevo+ if:
- You want deep insights into your swing and club path
- You’re building a simulator or plan to play virtual golf
- You want a long-term game improvement system
