Skytrak or Mevo+? - A VERY Basic Guide - Bayside Golf

Skytrak and Mevo+ are both popular options for golfers looking for a high-quality launch monitor. However, they are designed for different types of users and have different features, so it's important to consider your needs before making a decision.

They both perform extremely similarly when it comes to distances, shot shape and overall shot outcome, so the best fit is usually down to personal preference and requirements 

Here are some quick questions to ask yourself when deciding, with answers that should help you to make the right decision:

Where is the Launch Monitor being used?

As both Launch Monitors use different technologies, a big factor is where they will be used. Skytrak takes high speed photographs of the ball up close, where as Mevo+ uses a doppler radar, sat behind the ball to read data. With this in mind, Skytrak is probably the best choice for those using indoor setups. particularly if you have somewhat limited space. Mevo+ can also experience interference with electronics and other surfaces, so that can be a challenge when using indoors

If you are planning on an outdoor set up with lots of space, or taking it to the range frequently, Mevo would be the best choice

 

What parts of your game mean the most to you?

Although both launch monitors give very similar results, we do find that Mevo+ has a slight edge with distance data, especially with longer irons and woods. On the other hand, Skytrak outperforms Mevo+ when it comes to short game and putting. 

With these both in mind, think about how you will use your Launch Monitor. If you just want to do range sessions, Mevo+ may be the best choice for hitting through your irons and woods, and learning your distances and shapes

For someone going for the full sim experience, we believe Skytrak to be the best option as it provides a good level of data for short game which is a huge factor when playing full rounds. We also notice that Skytrak generally has better shot shape than Mevo+ due to the accuracy of side spin data

Conclusion

Just these two points are enough to make an informed decision on which Launch Monitor to choose from between the Skytrak and Mevo+. The reason we believe it is a simple decision is because they perform so similarly in many areas that one is not far superior
