FlightScope Discontinued the Mevo+. Two of Our Guides Recommended It.
FlightScope has discontinued the Mevo+. The company confirmed it directly on its own product page: “Now entering its final sales phase, this is your last chance to own a golf tech legend before it sells out permanently.” Remaining Mevo+ stock is marked down from $2,299 to $1,099. Once it’s gone, FlightScope isn’t making more.
The replacement is the Mevo Gen2, priced at $1,299.
Why This Matters If You Read Our Guides
We recommended the Mevo+ by name in both our prosumer launch monitor guide at $1,800 and our best launch monitors under $1,000 guide as the “worth knowing about” over-budget pick at roughly $1,999. Those prices are now wrong in a good way. The device is cheaper and its replacement is cheaper still.
If you were saving up based on our old numbers, don’t. The math changed in your favor.
What Actually Changed With the Gen2
The Gen2 uses the same core Doppler radar tracking as the Mevo+, and reviewer Sean Ogle at Breaking Eighty, who has tested both side by side, called it “essentially the exact same as a Mevo Plus” in terms of features, accuracy, and user experience. The real differences are in the hardware around that core:
- Battery life doubled. The Mevo+ ran about 3 hours. The Gen2 runs 6.
- USB-C charging. The Mevo+ used an older Mini-USB port. The Gen2 is FlightScope’s first product with USB-C, a change even the $15,000 X3c unit doesn’t have yet.
- Orientation changed from landscape to portrait, which slightly raises the sight line.
- Fewer included courses. The Mevo+ shipped with 12 E6 Connect courses, including Pebble Beach and the Old Course at St Andrews. The Gen2 ships with 8, and those two marquee courses aren’t on the list.
- Same optional upgrades. The Pro Package (club path, face angle, full D-plane data) and Face Impact Location add-on carry over at the same price points, one-time purchase, no subscription.
Both units share the same known accuracy profile: strong outdoors, about 7 of 10 shots landing within 1-2 yards of TrackMan indoors, with the remaining shots occasionally off by 5-7 yards on driver carry. Putting accuracy on both units gets shaky inside 3 feet, a known weakness of Doppler-based units at short range.
What We Don’t Know Yet
We haven’t independently tested a Gen2 unit ourselves, so the numbers above come from Breaking Eighty’s side-by-side testing and FlightScope’s own specs, not our own range session. We also don’t know how long the discounted Mevo+ closeout stock will last at $1,099, or whether FlightScope will keep dropping the price further as remaining units sell through.
What to Do Now
If you’re deciding between grabbing a discounted Mevo+ at $1,099 or paying $1,299 for the Gen2, the honest answer is: pay the extra $200 for the Gen2. You get double the battery life, a modern charging port, and a product FlightScope will actually keep supporting with software updates going forward. The Mevo+ was a great launch monitor for six years, but buying discontinued hardware at the end of its life for a $200 discount isn’t a great trade when the replacement is barely more expensive and objectively better built.
The exception: if you find Mevo+ closeout stock priced closer to $800-$900 as retailers clear remaining units over the next few months, that gap gets harder to justify paying past. Watch the closeout price, not just the sticker.
We’ll update our prosumer launch monitor guide with the new pricing and the Gen2 as our recommendation on our next full guide refresh.
