FlightScope Mevo+
FlightScope Mevo+ sits in the performance-oriented mid-tier, using Doppler radar to deliver a broad set of ball and club metrics indoors or outdoors with strong long-game and spin reporting. It offers greater versatility for outdoor practice and multi-club accuracy than many purely photometric units, and it typically costs less than pro-grade options like GCQuad and TrackMan while delivering data quality that coaches find very useful for shot-shaping and flight analysis. For home trainers who split time between range and indoor simulation, Mevo+ provides a technically robust compromise between price and capability.
