Comparison

Mevo Gen 2 vs SkyTrak+

Short answer

Your room decides this one. The Mevo's radar needs about 16 feet by FlightScope, 17 on our room planner; the SkyTrak+ reads the ball at the strike, so in a shorter room its ball can sit closer to the screen.

At today's prices the SkyTrak+ is $54 less, with a price drop on the Mevo Gen 2 at $1,149 (PlayBetter).

Current price drop

The Mevo Gen 2 is currently $1,299$1,149 at PlayBetter — down $150 from its 30-day typical price.

By buyer

Which one for you

Indoor room under 17 feet deep
SkyTrak+. Photometric capture at the strike lets the ball sit closer to the screen (about 14 feet of room at the least on our room planner); the Mevo's own 8 feet behind the ball and 8 to the screen don't fit. This is the whole decision for most basement builds.
Mostly outdoor or driving-range use
Mevo Gen 2. Radar with open ball flight is its natural habitat and it's FlightScope's current generation. It costs about $100–$200 more than the SkyTrak+ closeout, which is the price of the right tool for open-air use.
Want full club delivery data
Mevo Gen 2 with the Pro Package ($1,000 regular). That brings the real total to $2,299 — about $1,100–$1,200 past SkyTrak+ closeout money — or $1,898 while FlightScope's $599 promotion runs. Either way, buy this path for open-air ball flight, not for price. In a short room the SkyTrak+ is the more reliable instrument.
Value buyer moving fast
SkyTrak+ while closeout stock lasts: $1,095 on Amazon. Free range-only software with course play from $299.99/yr, and Mac/iPad support (M1 or newer). When stock runs out, this comparison changes.

Bottom line

The longer answer

The Mevo Gen 2 ($1,299) is a Doppler radar: it watches the ball fly and needs roughly 16 feet of room length before its numbers are trustworthy indoors — FlightScope asks for 8 ft behind the ball and at least 8 ft of flight. The SkyTrak+ (SkyTrak's discontinued previous generation, $1,095 new on closeout) is photometric-plus-radar: it photographs the ball at impact, and SkyTrak's room guide asks for at least 12 feet of length (its FAQ says 10, and it recommends 15); our room planner puts it at 18 feet with the ball at SkyTrak's recommended 10 feet from the screen, and about 14 at the least with the ball closer. That single difference — where the measurement happens — decides this comparison for most buyers before any other spec matters.

If your simulator lives in a basement or garage under 17 feet deep, the SkyTrak+ is the only one of these two that fits, and at $1,095 it is also about $200 cheaper than the Mevo. If you're hitting outdoors or into a long net, the calculus flips: the Mevo Gen 2 is FlightScope's current generation (2025) and radar is at its best with open flight, which is worth its slightly higher price there. Attack angle comes standard on the Mevo, which the SkyTrak+ doesn't read; the Pro Package unlock ($1,000 list, or $1,499 bundled with Face Impact Location) adds club path, face to path, dynamic loft and low point — budget for it honestly if club delivery numbers are why you're buying. As of November 2026 FlightScope and its dealers have it at $599 ($850 with Face Impact Location), with no published end date, which puts the Mevo with full club data at $1,898 — about $700–$800 past the SkyTrak+ closeout, or about $1,100–$1,200 past it at the Pro Package's $1,000 list.

Two caveats worth weighing. The SkyTrak+ is closeout inventory of a discontinued model: SkyTrak's own store no longer sells it, so Amazon at $1,095 and Rain or Shine (still listing $1,995) are what is left. The price is part of why it wins on value, and the stock is finite. The Mevo Gen 2 is current product with a current product's lifespan ahead of it. Buyers keeping a unit for 7+ years should factor how long each manufacturer will keep supporting it; SkyTrak's current ST MAX, at $1,695, is the same camera-plus-radar approach with a larger hitting zone for anyone who wants the short-room fit and a current model.

Better for Mevo Gen 2

  • Performance Seeker

    Angle of attack comes standard; with the Pro Package $1,000 add-on (or $1,499 bundled with Face Impact Location; $599 and $850 on sale at FlightScope and its dealers as of November 2026), the Mevo Gen 2 adds club path, face to path, dynamic loft and low point, plus face-impact location with the bundle — credible serious-practice radar without the $5K+ premium photometric price.

Better for SkyTrak+

  • Family Setup

    Polished SkyTrak software is approachable for non-technical users; ambidextrous play needs only a unit move, not recalibration. Native Mac and iPad apps (M-series, M1 or newer) work for a household using either platform.

  • Space-Constrained

    Sits beside the ball, so it needs no ball-flight depth the way radar does. SkyTrak's room guide asks for at least 12 ft of length and 10 ft of width, and recommends 15 ft each way; its FAQ says 10 ft and its Studio 10 enclosure diagram 17. Our room planner plans on 18 ft: a foot behind the screen, the ball at SkyTrak's recommended 10 ft from it, and the 7 ft behind the tee Shop Indoor Golf and Carl's Place advise.
