Has there been any release date for Mevo+ and TGC?
will it be iOS or PC based?

No date. Afaik there is no iOS app so it will be pc. Just as E6 also will be available on pc. -
I'm 99% certain on this, but want to make sure: other than the TGC software purchase, there is no additional purchase needed to run the mevo+ on the PC, correct? Seeing conflicting information. I have it from a rep that you do not need to purchase anything else other than TGC software to play sim on PC.

We don’t know for certain. If they use the same business model (most likely) as with ST etc one of their offers is a one time fee for the software.Comment

TGC is working with Mevo+. The integration has been completed. We do not know when its being released yet.
We are waiting for the Flightscope "GO".
this was a response I got from the people at protee United. They also said pricing should be similar to other platformsComment

Cory from par2pro has posted some videos on YouTube comparing with a CG2 and also using TCG 2019. Not sure on just using 8 feet of ball flight, but I will let others comment.Comment

I wonder how much better it will read with the indoor 13’ tee to screen setup? I’m not sure if Cory has the room to try that but would be interesting to see if there is a difference. The carry distance can be corrected with software but the spin rate is measured, so that would be a concern if it is off that much. That’s a whole club. -
pwade3 Not many folks have the room size, or screen height, to hit from 13' feet back. A 45 deg VLA open-face pitch shot would need a screen 13' tall. -
GungHoGolf Yes, agreed. I have the room and have practiced at 13’ but only have 9’4” to the top of the screen and hitting my 60 deg goes straight into the ceiling curtain I have, which is fine. The issue is with a shot like that it is not longer traveling the 13’.

Summary of Par2Pro Test Video Comparing MEVO+ and GC2:
MEVO+ really did well versus GC2. Based on six shots with 7-iron (median variance since only six shots):
Ball speed was 2.55% higher than GC2;
Launch angle was 1.77% higher
Backspin was 11% higher (test subject hitting 7-iron; MEVO was mid to high 4000s; while GC2 had three shots in 3000s?)
Carry was 5.5% higher, and Par2Pro reported consistently higher carry numbers with MEVO+ compared with GC2 outside of the testing.Last edited by games; 02-12-2020, 01:14 PM. Reason: Credit given to Par2Pro and six shots were hit, not five.Comment

As I’ve stated before, the area of weakness compared to a GC2/quad will be the spin and spin axis and perhaps short putts. All other measurements will be good. It will obviously not be as good as say the GC2 or quad indoors but will most likely be good enough indoors for simulation and practice.Comment

Spin axis is proving to be very accurate in my testing. I have an unsubstantiated theory that the Mevo+ is using swing path and face angle to help measure spin axis. My evidence is that on shots that miss all club data for some reason (happens frequently for me with 1/2-3/4 sand wedge shots between 40-75 yards), the FS Golf app will report the backspin number, but will not report the spin axis or sidespin numbers. Have to think it's measuring path and face behind the scenes. (Interestingly, the TGC19 shot info screen shows the path and face numbers - curious if that's calculated by TGC, or being reported by the Mevo+.)Originally posted by Bubba22 View Post- Ron at GunghoGolf.com - we specialize in TrackMan, FlightScope, Foresight, Uneekor, SkyTrak, Garmin, Bushnell, TGC, and E6 Connect. 512-861-4151 or email hello AT gunghogolf.com.Comment

I agree Gung about measurement methods. I highly doubt they are measuring spin axis. I suspect they are measuring path and AoA and calculating spin axis. Even face angle will be calculated based off ball path. Either way I suspect the spin readings will be good enough for simulation.Originally posted by GungHoGolf View PostLast edited by Bubba22; 02-12-2020, 04:14 AM.Comment

GungHoGolf I think Cory at Par2Pro said something similar in the 7-iron video. He mentioned TGC was reporting backspin and sidespin, while the FS Golf app only reports backspin and spin axis? I think I noted the same this morning.
I was able to get the e6 Connect demo fired up on my PC, while having the MEVO+ Connect package on my iPhone. I really like the graphics on the PC version. But, I may just settle for a way to cast the iPhone to keep it simple. Kind of excited to see when the Skills App will be ready for MEVO+.Comment

GungHoGolf , for the wedge shot you are describing as not getting club data have you tried the following
1. Place tee to mevo+ at 8 feet from the unit
2. If you hit right handed, place the ball on the far right of the hitting area for what the Mevo+ can read
alternative to the above, which might not work for the Mevo+ is to offset it slightly to the right of the line (assuming you are t handed) and tilt in Mevo+ slightly to your hitting position.
These were something’s I did with my TM3e when I was wanting to get club data for all my clubs. Usually had good results all the way down to my 56 wedge. I would never get wedges to read at 7 feet from the unit, but got good results at 9 feet and placing ball about a foot right of my hitting position.
Also, for wedges, the unit does not need all that much ball flight for the ball flight readings given the ball is travelling slower than the driver and spinning much higher. I just was no sure if the 8 feet was what might have been causing som of the spin differences.
I also thought Cory said they were going to post a vide on driver comparison as well.Last edited by Dax; 02-12-2020, 06:57 AM.Comment

The golf club is now released for mevo+? The pricing is still a question...Comment
