I’ve been experimenting with small tweaks to my swing and grip, and I found that taking videos of myself at the driving range was very helpful in identifying issues that I needed to address. I was curious how these adjustments to my technique might affect swing speed, ball speed, etc., and that’s what led me to the Mevo. I did quite a bit of research on the product, comparing it to others like the Swing Caddie.

The feature that sold me on the Mevo was the ability to capture video with an overlay of stats, and that has turned out to be the killer feature for me. It automatically captures and trims video snippets of each individual swing, then saves it to your device. I no longer need to scrub through 30 minutes of video, zooming in to try and figure out which club I was using, and searching for those one or two swings where I felt like things went right (or wrong). Now, I get one video per swing, with a (configurable) number of seconds before and after the swing. I can use the app to scroll through a table of swings for a session, with each row identifying the club, carry, smash factor, etc. This allows me to quickly review and assess the results of a session, and makes it easy to go back and see how I’ve improved over time.

I had tried a couple other Doppler ball trackers and they proved to be inconsistent often giving me obviously incorrect numbers when I needed it most. For example every time I hit a great shot I thought would get me another 10 to 50 yards on my driver (I average 185 to 190 carry) would give me a 321 yard carry. Obviously an error which I would get in 1 out of 4 or 5 shots! It was as if it just would not give a value in the 200 to 300 yard range. Anyway, the Mevo works great only failing to register a shot if it was an obviously very bad shot, i.e miss hit. The app that you download also works perfectly on my iPad. Great value for the money.

I purchased the Mevo about two weeks ago and have since used it twice on the range off turf and twice from my back porch off of a mat. As a point of reference, I am a senior golfer (68) with a 3.1 handicap. My average drive is around 230.
So far I have been very pleased with the product (other than I feel it is overpriced). To date, I have spent most of my practice time with my wedges (58, 54, 50, and 46). Dialing in these clubs was the main reason I purchased the Mevo, seconded by a desire to get a little more clubhead speed with my driver. My practice time with the Mevo and my wedges has been very productive. I’m fortunate to have a large pasture behind my back porch allowing me hit and recover good balls. I consider using these balls is a much fairer test of the Mevo’s numbers than what it measures with well-worn range balls. I used a range finder to verify the carry distance as measured by the Mevo and found it very accurate with no more than a yard or two error across all four wedges. Since I have not used a launch monitor before to any great extent I don’t really have a way to evaluate the accuracy of the other measured parameters. However, I was able to get good correlation between my “feel” on a shot compared to the measurement. This was particularly true on clubhead speed versus carry and smash factor. My wedges show wear a little towards the toes of the club which I have suspected is costing me distance and consistency. As I practiced with the Mevo, I worked to hit the ball closer to the center and saw definitive improvement in carry, ball speed, and smash factor without a change in clubhead speed. In other words, I was hitting the ball closer to the sweet spot of the club and getting better results without having to “muscle” the shot.
I have worked with the longer clubs some and found the software excellent regarding video playback (I use the data mode only on my wedges). I’ll start working more with the driver soon and will try to update this review then.
My final comment is that, while I am very happy with the product, I just wish it was not so expensive. I’m no marketing guy but I have to believe that getting this product more reasonably priced would result in many, many more sales given its usefulness to golfers of all abilities.
