FlightScope Mevo Gen2 Cuts Launch Monitor Price to $1,299

FlightScope has cut the price of its Mevo personal launch monitor nearly in half with the release of the Mevo Gen2, which starts at $1,299 and doubles the battery life of its predecessor rather than trimming it.

What does the Mevo Gen2 offer?

The Gen2 carries over the full feature set of the Mevo+, the model it replaces, including angle of attack, spin axis, and putting and chipping data. FlightScope's pro package add-on, which unlocks club path, face angle, swing plane and face impact location, remains available on a unit priced well below the $3,000-to-$5,000 range typical of higher-end systems like Trackman and Quad Max.

How does it compare to entry-level and premium monitors?

FlightScope positions the Gen2 as a middle option in a category split between basic units priced $500 to $700 for simulator or range use, and professional-grade systems that run $3,000 to $5,000. The Gen2's $1,299 starting price sits above the entry tier but well below systems aimed at teaching professionals and fitters. A launch monitor that used to cost $2,200 now starts at $1,299, with more battery life, not less.

What has the reception been?

Reviewers have found the Gen2's launch and spin numbers to align closely with expected output once the device is set to match the ball type in use — premium or range ball — a preset FlightScope added to correct for distance discrepancies. The unit's compact size and expanded practice-mode views, including a trajectory optimizer, have also drawn praise, though the companion FS Golf app's interface has been described as dated next to newer competitors.
