Mevo Gen 2 vs SkyTrak ST MAX

The ST MAX is $1,695 at every retailer we track and the Mevo Gen 2 is $1,299. The Mevo works indoors and out; SkyTrak's own spec table lists the ST MAX as an indoor unit, though retailers still list it for both. The real differences are where they sit, what they cost to keep playing, and which software they reach.

The ST MAX is a photometric unit with radar assist that sits beside the ball, so nothing of its own takes room behind you: our room planner puts it at 18 ft with the ball at SkyTrak's recommended 10 ft from the screen, and about 14 at the least with the ball closer than SkyTrak recommends. It measures spin directly, plus club speed, smash factor, path, face angle and face to path, though not attack angle, and it is one of the few units in this range with native Mac and iPad apps, on Apple M-series chips (M1 or newer). The catch is the membership: the free level is range-only, and course play starts at Core: Foresight for $299.99 a year. GSPro isn't an option: no SkyTrak model is on GSPro's list, and the community plugin owners used doesn't support the app version SkyTrak now offers.

The Mevo Gen 2 is radar (FlightScope pairs 3D Doppler with image processing) and sits behind the ball, so it needs about 17 ft on our room planner: 8 ft behind the ball, at least 8 ft of flight and a foot behind the screen. It has no subscription and is on GSPro's official list with no FlightScope fee. Out of the box it reads ball data plus club speed, smash factor and attack angle; club path, face to path and dynamic loft are the Pro Package, $1,000 list and $599 at FlightScope and its dealers as of November 2026.

Five years with course play: the ST MAX on Core: Foresight is about $3,195; the Mevo on GSPro is about $2,549 plus a Windows PC that can run it. In a room under 17 ft, or a household with an M-series Mac or iPad, the ST MAX is the one that fits. With the depth and a PC, the Mevo is cheaper to own.
