Mevo Plus Launch Data Parameters – 2026 Update!
Posted in Launch Monitor Data, Launch Monitors
The FlightScope Mevo+ and Mevo Gen2 report the same family of numbers: ball speed, launch, spin, club speed, and the modeled carry, total and apex. Indoors, spin is measured only off an aluminum sticker or a Titleist RCT ball; otherwise it is estimated. The Pro Package, $1,000 list and $699 on sale (21 October 2026), unlocks eleven club-delivery numbers and the D-Plane dataset; Face Impact Location, $499 list and $350 on sale, adds strike location and, per FlightScope’s FAQ, no longer needs the Pro Package.
In a Nutshell
Both units report the same ball data out of the box (ball speed, launch, spin, club speed, smash factor and the modeled carry, total and apex), with spin measured indoors only off an aluminum sticker or RCT ball; the one-time Pro Package adds eleven club numbers, and Face Impact Location adds strike position.
👉 Buy the base unit for ball data, the Pro Package if club path and face numbers will change your practice, and skip Face Impact until foot spray stops being enough.
In this guide: what changed · base numbers · Pro Package · Face Impact · measured vs calculated · shot shape · Mevo+ vs Gen2 · software · FAQ.
- Base numbers: ball speed, launch, spin, club speed, smash factor, modeled carry, total and apex.
- The Pro Package: eleven club numbers, on either unit, any time.
- Face Impact Location: works without the Pro Package, per FlightScope; six owners rate foot spray the substitute.
- Licensed to the unit: add-ons travel with a used sale.
Jargon, once: D-Plane — the club path and face angle geometry behind a ball’s curve. Face to path — face angle minus club path. Low point — where the swing arc bottoms out. Fusion Tracking — radar plus a synchronized camera. RCT ball or aluminum sticker — the marker the radar needs to measure spin indoors. DSP — the signal-processing firmware line.
How this has changed since 2020
- Summer 2026:
- Owners confirm the add-ons are licensed to the unit and transfer with it.
- Six owners rate foot spray the substitute for Face Impact.
- FlightScope’s own account answers a data complaint in-thread.
- A used Gen2 with the Pro Package and Face Impact lists at $1,650.
- October 2026: FS Golf app iOS 10.0.12, Android 9.0.8, PC 26.0.8 (20 October); firmware DSP 1.11 on the Gen2, 0.39 on the Mevo+; FlightScope’s FAQ now says Face Impact Location works without the Pro Package.
- August 2025: the Mevo Gen2 at $1,299 with 20 parameters and a 6-hour battery; the Mevo+ closes out at $1,099 (from $2,299; still in its final sales phase on 21 October 2026).
- 2025: Face Impact Location at $499 ($350 on sale on 21 October 2026); TGC 2019 leaves the software list.
- January 2023: battery, 12° stand, four more E6 courses.
- Unchanged: the sticker or RCT rule for spin; the Pro Package as a one-time key.
What the base unit reports
The 2020 tables split the numbers into Standard and Pro Package columns; the Standard column stands, listed in full below. What the manual does not do is label which are measured and which are modeled, so the second column is the site’s reading, built from FlightScope’s own sticker rule, confirmed for the Gen2 on spin and assumed to match on the rest. The Gen2 ships 20 parameters; its 20 exclude club path and face angle, which stay behind the Pro Package on either unit (3 reports from 2 owners).

The Pro Package: the 11 numbers
FlightScope’s own list is eleven parameters plus the complete D-Plane dataset; the 2020 guide’s Pro column carried the app’s old labels (face angle, impact speed, loft at impact, lie at impact, swing direction, true launch angle), retired here for the manufacturer’s list. The package is $1,000 list, $699 on sale (21 October 2026), works on both units, can be added any time, and bundles FS Golf PC 2.0, the Trajectory Optimizer for iOS and the Environmental Optimizer. Reviewers who buy it praise the club data it opens (11 reports from 6 reviewers). It is licensed to the unit: “The propackage and face data get assigned to the unit not an account” (u/GrandSupermarket4024, 2026-08-12) Mevo Plus in 2026 – Pro Package, Fusion Tracking + Face Impact Location Updates!.
| Parameter | What it means |
|---|---|
| Face to path | Face angle minus club path; the curve number |
| Face to target | Where the face pointed against the target line |
| Dynamic loft | The loft delivered at impact |
| Club path | In-to-out or out-to-in through the ball |
| Vertical swing plane | The steepness of the arc through impact |
| Horizontal swing plane | The direction of that arc |
| Low point | Where the arc bottoms out relative to the ball |
| Vertical descent angle | How steeply the ball lands |
| Curve | The lateral bend of the flight |
| Club speed profile | How club speed built through the downswing |
| Club acceleration profile | Where in the swing the speed came from |
Face Impact Location
| Face Impact Location | |
|---|---|
| What it shows | Lateral and vertical strike position on the face |
| Price | $499 list, $500 on some listings; $350 on sale at FlightScope on 21 October 2026 |
| Requires | A Mevo+ or Gen2 and at least 300 lux of light at the hitting area; FlightScope’s FAQ says the Pro Package is not required. The pair bundles at $1,499 list, $975 on sale (21 October 2026) |
| Owners’ verdict | Six owners this summer: it works with a bright light and a calibration against the real face, but foot spray or impact tape does the same job for most of them |
Foot spray on the face, one ball, then match the on-screen mark to the real one and calibrate with the arrows: that is the routine owners describe, and the buying verdict lives in the Pro Package guide Mevo Plus in 2026 – Pro Package, Fusion Tracking + Face Impact Location Updates!.
Measured, calculated and Fusion Tracking
Spin is measured only off a sticker or an RCT ball indoors; a plain ball gets an estimate. That rule is the most-repeated one on file (8 reports from 6 owners and reviewers); one instructor put it plainly: “I’d also pay attention to whether the unit is actually measuring those numbers or calculating/estimating them.” (u/BlockGolfOfficial, 2026-08-19).
Fusion Tracking pairs the 3D Doppler radar with a synchronized camera, and its calibration sits in the app, where one owner found that “getting the lighting correct helped a lot. I used the calibration software to make sure it was enough lumens.” (u/Wise_Boysenberry8075, 2026-08-26). The Environmental Optimizer (Pro Package only; altitude and weather correction in Trajectory and D-Plane modes) is not a base-unit setting; a short indoor carry on the Gen2 is a known pattern (5 reports from 4 owners and reviewers) How Accurate is Mevo Plus? – 2026 Update!.
You may find that you’re struggling with high spin numbers with driver once you have your simulator up and running. My advice here would be to check your setup for any issues and then go get a lesson from a pro to ascertain whether this is a swing issue or that your golf club isn’t right for you.
When the numbers disagree with the flight, FlightScope’s own account asks four questions (u/FlightScope_Official, 2026-08-25):
- The current setup.
- The distance from the unit to the hitting area.
- The distance from the hitting area to the screen.
- The ball type.
Reading the shot: shape, start line and the D-Plane
I guess the aim is to start the ball offline and draw/fade it back to the target. You want to avoid starting the ball offline and drawing or fading it further off the target line. There are also golfers who start the ball at the target but have to much side spin and slice or hook the ball away from the target.
The base unit gives you the outcome, launch direction and shape; the Pro Package gives you the cause. Three of its numbers do most of that work:
- Face to target sets the start line: the ball leaves close to where the face points.
- Club path sets the curve’s direction relative to that face.
- Face to path is the difference, and its sign is the shape: face open to the path curves right for a right-hander.
One Mevo+ owner skipped the club data entirely and films the path on a phone in slow motion instead, which is the cheap version of the same lesson (u/Commercial-Friend442, 2026-08-19) What is Smash Factor? – Launch Monitor Data 101 Launch Monitor Data – 33 Parameters Explained.
Mevo+ vs Mevo Gen2 on data
Owners who have run both call the data the same and the battery the difference: “The Mevo gen2 is the same as the Mevo+ with the exception of longer battery life, 6 vs 3ish and newer hardware.” (u/SpammBott, 2026-08-01). The table keeps to the deltas data owns.

FAQ
Which numbers does the Gen2 show without the Pro Package? Its 20 standard parameters: ball speed, launch, spin, club speed, smash factor and the modeled flight numbers. Club path and face angle are not among them.
Does the Pro Package add the same 11 numbers on both units? Yes. It works on the Mevo+ and the Gen2, can be added at any time, and is licensed to the unit.
Is spin measured or estimated on a plain range ball? Estimated indoors. Measured spin needs an aluminum sticker on the ball or a Titleist RCT ball.
Does Face Impact Location need the Pro Package? No. FlightScope’s FAQ says it works on a Mevo+ or Gen2 without the Pro Package; it does need at least 300 lux of light. It is sold alone at $499 list ($350 on sale) or bundled with the Pro Package at $1,499 list ($975 on sale; 21 October 2026).
Do the add-ons transfer with a used unit? Yes, they are assigned to the unit, not an account; the Pro Package guide has the resale detail Mevo Plus in 2026 – Pro Package, Fusion Tracking + Face Impact Location Updates!.
Does the data need a subscription? No. The unit and its add-ons are one-time purchases; the accuracy guide covers the software costs around them How Accurate is Mevo Plus? – 2026 Update!.
Summary
Same numbers on both units, spin measured only off a sticker or an RCT ball, eleven club numbers behind a one-time Pro Package that travels with the unit, and a face-impact add-on that foot spray replaces for most owners. Buy the Gen2 for the battery, the Mevo+ for the closeout price, and the Pro Package before Face Impact, which works without it.
