The catch
FlightScope Mevo Gen2
Published indoor requirements total about 16 feet, before any room for the player's swing.
Side by side
FlightScope Mevo Gen2 vs FlightScope Mevo+ 2024 Compared: Gen2 lasts longer per session, but back-to-back sessions still require a charging plan
Quick verdict
Two golfers with back-to-back range appointments should arrange charging even with Gen2, and Mevo+ calls for a mid-day power plan sooner. Neither rating covers the phone, tablet or PC that shows your results.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
The full Gen2 battery rating goes to two three-hour sessions
Mevo Gen2 is rated for 6 hours, Mevo+ 2024 for 3 hours. Two three-hour sessions need 6 hours. That reaches Gen2’s rating and doubles the Mevo+ rating.
Where this comes from
2 × 3 = 6 hours, and 6 ÷ 3 = 2. At its published upper limit, Gen2 has no practical reserve left.
The catch
FlightScope Mevo+ 2024 Edition
In a room with limited flight, expect to need about 8 feet behind the ball and at least 8 feet of ball flight. Accurate spin also calls for a metallic dot or a Titleist RCT ball.

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | FlightScope Mevo Gen2 | FlightScope Mevo+ 2024 Edition | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Placement | 8ft behind the ball and 8ft limited ball flight | 8ft behind the ball and 8 to 13ft limited ball flight | Take the usable rear distance and the front distance as separate measurements. Cameras beside the ball still need safe swing and impact clearance. |
| Viewing results | FS Golf on a compatible phone, tablet or PC | FS Golf on a compatible phone, tablet or PC | Practice routines differ depending on whether you have a built-in numeric screen, a full touchscreen or a companion app. |
| Power arrangement | Rechargeable battery rated up to 6 hours with USB-C | Rechargeable battery rated up to 3 hours | When you plan a full session, count the phone or computer and any cables that must stay plugged into power. |
| Ball and club preparation | Aluminum stickers or Titleist RCT balls for accurate limited-flight spin | Aluminum stickers required by the checked limited-flight setup instructions | Markings and stickers must be the supported ones for measurement to work, and they cannot be swapped between brands. |
| Software ownership | FS Golf and eight included E6 courses. Other packages have separate terms | FS Golf and twelve included E6 courses in the checked 2024 package | Before you compare total setup costs, confirm exactly which license is included, which device works and which features are paid. |
| Practice location | Indoor and outdoor use | Indoor and outdoor use | Even when the hardware is small enough to carry, an indoor-only restriction is still a hard limit. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With FlightScope Mevo Gen2
- To get accurate spin when ball flight is limited, you need stickers or radar-friendly balls.
With FlightScope Mevo+ 2024 Edition
- Getting club path and face data means paying extra for the Pro Package. Published battery life in simulator use is up to 1.5 hours.
Change of plan
When the answer changes
Six hours of rated battery runtime is what you want
Go with FlightScope Mevo Gen2. Two golfers with back-to-back range appointments should arrange charging even with Gen2, and Mevo+ calls for a mid-day power plan sooner. Neither rating covers the phone, tablet or PC that shows your results.
The checked twelve-course E6 bundle is what you want
Go with FlightScope Mevo+ 2024 Edition. Old and new FlightScope packages can coexist, so read the exact bundle at checkout. A bigger included library can tip things toward Mevo+, even though the newer sensor offers longer battery operation.
Decision guide
How to decide
The full Gen2 battery rating goes to two three-hour sessions
When two golfers book range time one after the other, plan for charging even with Gen2. Mevo+ will need a mid-day power plan sooner. Neither rating includes the phone, tablet or PC you use to see results.
Mevo+ includes four more E6 courses on its list
Old and new FlightScope packages can coexist, so read the exact bundle at checkout. A bigger included library can tip things toward Mevo+, even though the newer sensor offers longer battery operation.
At the top of its limited-flight range, Mevo+ adds 5ft to the layout
According to their checked instructions, both can start from a 16ft sensor-to-net arrangement. The longer Mevo+ option is no proof that Gen2 is more accurate in a short room. Leave space behind the net as well, so impacts can deflect safely.
What this page can’t tell you
- Sensor geometry is what the room calculations describe. They do not certify a safe room width, ceiling height or net installation.
- The battery calculations use manufacturer upper ratings and exclude the companion display.
- There is no claim of a side-by-side test for accuracy, shot-tracking reliability or simulator latency.
