Best launch monitor for lefties and righties

Top pick

FlightScope Mevo Gen2

FlightScope Mevo Gen2

For a simulator that left- and right-handers share, Mevo Gen2 is the strongest choice. Rear placement avoids moving the monitor, and current software support includes E6, Awesome Golf and GSPro.

Why it suits this job

  • The indoor planning depth it publishes is 16 feet.
  • Tracking comes from 3D radar plus image processing.
The catch
Published indoor requirements total about 16 feet, before any room for the player's swing.
Go with Garmin Approach R10 if
you need to share it between right- and left-handers
More reasons we picked it
  • Its documented use includes indoor and outdoor practice.
  • Simulator play is covered.
