Low swing speed in speed training mode Mevo Gen2

[ollytindall@gmail.com]

Anyone else having issues with the swing speed under-reading by 15-20mph when using the speed training mode?

When using the standard mode with a ball it reads correctly...

I set the unit up the exact same way as I do with a normal full swing session & have tried indoors and outdoors, with the same results.

I did speak to a Flightscope customer service rep on live chat, but they didn't offer any solutions.

Any succesfully using their mevo gen 2 in this mode? Any tips?

Thanks in advance!

I have had the mevo+ since inception. Since speed training was released I have never been able to get what I consider an accurate swing speed. I have tried different set up locations both inside and out with no differences. I would have to say that it’s off a good 15 mph. I have spoken with Flightscope and have they have not offered any reason or explanation to the swing training app performance. I have a very slow swing speed in real life, 82-86 mpg. After seeing your post I pulled out my mevo+ and tried a different approach to 1 set up I have used in the past. I varied the distance from club head to unit. I found the closer I was to the unit, the high speed the speed that was recorded. I don’t know why this is the case. I am sure someone might be able to explain it. It’s had to say exactly what distance produced the fastest speed registered was around 3 1/2 ‘ toe’ from start of club head head to unit. I don’t have the most reliable swing so perhaps if you or someone else has a solid known swing speed, you/they could try different distance to see if it makes a difference for you/them. If you try this please post your findings.


edit: I will see if I can get to the range and set up the mevo+ in swing speed mode and the gc3 in normal mode and see if that will show anything different.

These number came from a GC3 in Club data mode and a Mevo+ in Swing Training mode. In this case a ball was struck. The numbers check out with my normal swing speeds. In the past when using just the mevo+ in swing training mode I had to swing out of my shoes to get my driver swing speed to normal speeds.

Hi Shankz

Thankyou very much for trying that out, really appreciate it!

just trying to make sure I understand correctly, you setup the unit around 3 1/2 ft behind where you were hitting from? Instead of the recommended 8?

[Shankz]

No, on the range test I set it up 8’ back like normal. When I was at home I moved between 8 and 3 1/2 feet by stepping back towards the unit about a 1/2’,at a time. Sorry for not being more clear in my earlier post.

No problem at all

I tried putting it closer today, it did improve slightly, but it was still around 10mph slower than it should be. Bit annoying as one of the reasons why I bought it, was that it had the function for speed training.
It’s a bit mad that a £60 cheapo sports radar can do it, but this can’t 🤷🏻♂️

Might try tech support again, if I get any useful info, I’ll let you know
