Hello all,
I've been reading through the forum for a while now as I prepare my garage sim build. I have 16-17ft from the garage door to the net, and I am a lefty with some right-handed friends who will likely be regulars. I've built an 8'x4' platform to hit off with an insert in the center. Originally I ordered the Garmin R10 as the 6ft behind and 8ft in front left some buffer and offered enough capabilities for game improvement and simulator play. However, I've been informed I won't receive my unit until October so I've decided to look at some other options with similar capabilities. I've narrowed it down to the Mevo+ and the Skytrak. From what I've read on this forum and on manufacturer sites, these are how the units compare:
Mevo+
Pros: Won't need to move the unit between players, solid accuracy, 6 E6 courses and 17 driving ranges included in the initial purchase, options to upgrade to pro package and different software later on.
Cons: Requires a minimum of 16ft total space but prefers about 20'+, requires the use of metallic stickers/RCT balls for accurate indoor use,
Skytrak
Pros: Requires minimal space, solid accuracy
Cons: Having to move the device for lefties and righties, requires the purchase of software for simulator play.
My biggest concern with the mevo is obviously not having accurate data because of a lack of space. Can any current owners confirm if 16ish feet is actually enough?
With Skytrak, switching the device for different handed golfers seems like it would be inconvenient. Do any current owners have solutions for this or can you attest to the ease of moving the device and changing the software?
Any advice on either units or recommendations for either would be greatly appreciated. Right now I'm leaning towards the mevo+ and would like to purchase while the Master's weekend special is on however, I don't want to rush the decision.
As a side, how do the second-hand markets hold up for both devices? I'm debating buying the mevo during the sale and switching if my results suffer.
Thanks for any guidance, I hope to have some follow up pics soon with the full build.
