GolfBusters: “The Mevo Gen2 Just Became the Best Budget Golf Simulator We’ve Ever Tested”

In a comprehensive hands-on review, GolfBusters has delivered a statement verdict on the FlightScope Mevo Gen2 – calling it: “The best budget golf simulator on the market, no questions asked”. 

With the addition of the Pro Package and Face Impact Location software add-ons, GolfBusters believes the Mevo Gen2 has officially redefined what’s possible at its price point.

Pro Package and Face Impact Change Everything

According to GolfBusters, the addition of the Pro Package and Face Impact Location software add-ons takes the Mevo Gen2 to the next level entirely.

“It takes this thing from an awesome fun golf simulator experience to an incredible learning tool, swing-fixing tool, and much more.”

Face Impact Location allows golfers to see the precise location of impact for every shot they hit, while the Pro Package provides 11 additional data parameters focused on club data, including the full D-Plane data set – which is transformational for understanding and fixing swing issues.

GolfBusters repeatedly emphasized that the Pro Package delivers “essentially every club informational statistic you could ever want,” calling it “my favorite add-on of any golf simulator device we’ve ever reviewed”.

Upgrade When You’re Ready – No Pressure

One of the standout themes of the review was flexibility. GolfBusters made it clear that the Mevo Gen2 delivers outstanding accuracy right out of the box, with upgrades available when golfers are ready.

“If you’re on a budget and don’t want to get the Pro Package right away, that’s what’s really cool about the Mevo Gen2. You can start for just over $1,000 and upgrade later.”

Crucially, they stressed that club data upgrades do not affect ball flight accuracy.

“Ball flight data is just as accurate. You’re just adding on that club information data, which is useful for teaching, instruction, and fixing your swing.”

No Subscription Fees = True Budget Value

While the Mevo Gen2 sits slightly above entry-level pricing, GolfBusters firmly placed it in the “budget” category – thanks to its lack of annual subscription fees.

“All those other devices, you pay a yearly subscription fee, and after two or three years they become more expensive than the Gen2.”

The Mevo Gen2 also includes ownership of an 8 course bundle on E6 Connect out of the box, allowing golfers to play simulation golf immediately without hidden costs.

“You don’t have any other unexpected costs, which is really awesome.”

Accuracy That Rivals $20,000 Systems

To test accuracy, GolfBusters compared the Mevo Gen2 directly against the Foresight GCQuad, an industry benchmark used by tour professionals and elite fitting studios.

“When compared to the GCQuad, for the price point, this thing is incredible.”

Their results, taken indoors, were striking:

• 98–99% carry distance accuracy

• Over 99.5% accuracy on club data metrics

• 98–99% accuracy on spin rates

“I don’t think anyone who’s a five handicap or worse would be able to tell the difference between this and the $20,000 Foresight GCQuad.”

Reliability Where It Matters Most

Reliability was another area where the Mevo Gen2 impressed.

“We hit over 1,500 balls and had one misread – and zero no-reads. The thing is just incredibly reliable.”

GolfBusters noted that while other budget simulators may look good on paper, they often struggle with consistency in real-world use.

“With the Mevo Gen2, it’s so reliable. You’re not banging your head against the wall trying to get it working.”

Fusion Tracking and Improved Short Game

Powered by FlightScope’s patented Fusion Tracking Technology (radar + camera), the Mevo Gen2 delivers precise carry distances and left-right dispersion.

“You get the most accurate left and right, offline, carry distances from this device.”

GolfBusters also highlighted significant improvements in chipping and putting, noting that reads are more consistent thanks to the higher camera placement.

“Chipping is way more reliable on the Gen2, and that’s a huge plus.”

Ideal for Lefties, Righties, and Indoor or Outdoor Use

Because the Mevo Gen2 sits behind the golfer, GolfBusters called it the best budget option for mixed left- and right-handed play.

“You don’t have to move it at all. That’s huge.”

They also praised its portability and outdoor performance, where the radar-based component of the Mevo Gen2 excels by tracking full ball flight.

Final Verdict from GolfBusters

GolfBusters concluded their review with a strong endorsement, emphasizing long-term value, performance, and upgradeability.

“It’s really the only budget device that lets you start affordable and then turn it into a premium device later.”

Their closing statement left little room for doubt:

“If you want to have just as much fun as we do in our golf simulator, get the Mevo Gen2. Consider the Pro Package and Face Impact. I don’t think people are going to tell the difference between this and a $20,000 launch monitor.”
