Hi all,
I’ve had my mevo+ since the beginning of the year, added the pro package, and have had my sim room setup and locked in for a couple weeks now. I’ve mostly enjoyed the unit and I’m impressed with the functionality and accuracy, but I have a couple beefs. Maybe someone here has some answers!
Where is augmented reality compatibility? Compatibility for mevo+ was announced over a year ago, and the press release is still up on the flightscope site. I agree with the sentiments in some other threads here that this compatibility isn’t necessarily useful, just kind of a cool feature, but why not? A similar complaint is lack of compatibility with the flightscope VX app and Video app. Why prevent mevo+ users from accessing these apps? We all know the answer is greed, but I think very few recreational launch monitor users (as in non-pro users like teaches and fitters) are ever going to upgrade to an x3 or trackman level device to play e6 with their buddies in the garage.
One of the most annoying things I experience when I use the FS golf app is the weather settings. Can someone explain which of the weather parameters effect ball flight and reported data? Temperature, humidity, and elevation all effect ball flight in real life, but do all three of these have an effect on the data I’m seeing? The annoying part is the app constantly needing to update the weather and then needing to set it manually when it can’t update. My iPad doesn’t have a SIM card for cellular data so it’s not updating when I’m hitting balls. I don’t understand the point of constantly pulling weather data when I’m indoors practicing. Why does the app want to show that it’s 26°F outside when I’m practicing indoors? Does that temperature parameter have an effect on the data? When I’m hitting balls indoors in the middle of January I’m not practicing to play golf in sub freezing temperatures, I’m practicing for summer golf. And the sea level setting isn’t useful either. I’m not at sea level. 700’ of elevation has an effect on carry. What if I live in Denver at 5280’ (lived there for 20 year and still play golf there at least once a year)? Why can’t we set these parameters and lock them in? I’ve tried turning off the automatic update setting for the weather and it turns itself back on. WHY?
Last one is about data margins. I love the potential for this feature but it’s really clunky. Maybe I’m doing something wrong. I’ve set a bunch of data margins and I’d like to be able to switch between them when I’m practicing but that doesn’t seem possible. As an example, I have a data margins set called ‘DRAW’. If my club path, FTP, and FTT are in the correct range for hitting a draw I get green lights. I’ve done the same for hitting fades. Why can’t I switch between these settings from the session? I have to end the session and back out all the way into the settings to turn them on and off. Why not be able to assign a data margins package to a certain club? Driver would be a good example. AoA should be a positive value and low point should be a negative value, representing an ascending blow on the golf ball. Should be opposite for an iron shot. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to set that for all your clubs.
would it be worth my time to bring up these suggestions with the flightscope tech team? Are they responsive? What’s the best way to go about this, the form that’s in the app?
Ok that’s enough complaining for one day, time to go hit some shots!
