FlightScope Mevo Gen2 vs Mevo Plus: Understanding the Evolution
The Mevo+ is gone, but its legacy lives on. Here’s how the Gen2 carries the torch and what it means for golfers who loved FlightScope’s flagship.
***Revised & Updated November 2025 to include Mevo Gen2 Pro Package & Face Impact Location Compatibility & Mevo+ Discontinuance***
What You’re Getting with the Mevo Gen2
The new Gen2 is built on FlightScope’s patented Fusion Tracking technology — just like the Mevo+ — which means you’re getting pro-grade accuracy powered by a combination of 3D Doppler radar and synchronized image processing.
But what sets the Gen2 apart is how much is included for the price. For $1,299, you get:
- 20 data parameters for full swing, chipping, and putting
- Lifetime access to 12 E6 Connect courses (including Pebble Beach and St Andrews)
- Full simulator compatibility with GSPro, Awesome Golf, and more
- No required subscriptions or ongoing software fees
- A redesigned form factor that now resembles FlightScope’s top-of-the-line X3C model
- A full six-hour battery life with USB-C charging
And the Gen2 now supports the Pro Package ($999) and Face Impact Location ($499) as add-ons, or $1,499 for both bundled together. These upgrade options, which unlock a huge array of club data and analytics tools, were initially not available to the Gen2 when it was released. Those shackles have been removed.
In short, the Gen2 isn’t a budget version of anything. It’s the new FlightScope.
What the Mevo Plus Used to Offer
The Mevo+ retailed at $2,299, which is a full $1,000 more than the current Gen2 price. For that premium, you got:
- The same 20 core data parameters (identical to the Gen2)
- The same Fusion Tracking technology (identical to the Gen2)
- The same simulator compatibility (identical to the Gen2)
- Ability to add Pro Package and Face Impact (now available on Gen2)
- 12 E6 courses included (same as Gen2 now has)
- 2.5-hour battery with mini-USB charging (Gen2 improved to 6 hours with USB-C)
It’s pretty clear that the Gen2 is an upgrade for a discount. We don’t see those too often.
How the Strategy Is Changing
This is no longer a side-by-side decision for the long term. FlightScope is clearly sunsetting the Mevo+. Once current stock sells through, it’ll be discontinued.
At that point, the Gen2 becomes the one-size-fits-most model — offering everything the Mevo+ did and then some for a better price.
Initially, when there were no upgrade options available to the Mevo Gen2 and while more Mevo+ stock remained, there was a decision consumers had to make between the two. If you wanted the Pro Package and Face Impact upgrades, you had to go with the Mevo+. That’s changed, removing the last favorable differentiator for the Mevo+.
Not Much of a Decision Left
If you were considering a Mevo Plus, the decision has been made for you. But that’s a good thing. The Gen2 gives you:
- The same professional accuracy for $1,000 less
- Better battery life (6 hours vs. 2.5)
- Modern USB-C charging
- The option to add Pro Package and Face Impact when you’re ready
- All the simulation and practice features that made the Mevo+ great
The only question now isn’t “Gen2 or Mevo+?” It’s whether you need those advanced analytics right away or can start with the base unit and upgrade later. Check out this Pro Package and Face Impact Location breakdown for a more complete understanding of what those upgrades get you.
