FlightScope Data Explained: Mevo Data Parameters

FlightScope is proud to offer the most accurate, detailed data parameters for club, ball flight, and short game.

Club Data

Club Speed

The speed of the geometric center of the club, measured at impact. Club speed has a direct influence on the ball speed.

Mevo and Mevo+

Club Speed Profile

Speed of the club head’s geometric center away from the radar, measured pre and post impact with the ball. From the speed profile, a player can determine swing speed consistency and efficient energy transfer.

Mevo+ Pro Package

Club Acceleration Profile

Acceleration of the club head’s geometric center away from the radar, measured pre- and post-impact with the ball. The acceleration profile will indicate the rate of closure due to shaft bend and club release by the golfer.

Mevo+ Pro Package

Face to Path

Direction of the club face relative to the club path, measured at impact. The angular difference between the face angle and the club path will tilt the spin axis.
*Off center hits will impact gear effect.

Mevo+ Pro Package

Face to Target

Direction of the club face relative to the radar’s target line, measured at impact. Face angle will influence the direction in which the ball starts relative to the radar’s target line.

Mevo+ Pro Package

Dynamic Loft

Loft of the club at impact. Dynamic loft can be influenced by shaft bend, forward press, and many other variables.

Mevo+ Pro Package

Angle of Attack

The angle at which the geometric center of the club approaches the ball, measured just before impact. Can also be referred to as arch location strike or angle of approach.

Mevo+ and Mevo+ Pro Package

Club Path

The direction of the geometric center of the club relative to the radar’s target line, measured at impact. Club path is influenced by angle of attack, horizontal swing plane, and vertical swing plane.

Mevo+ Pro Package

Spin Loft

The contribution to ball spin as a result of the effective loft on the club face presented to the ball during impact, which is approximately defined by the difference between the 3D angle of attack and 3D dynamic loft of the club at impact.

Mevo+

Horizontal Swing Plane

The angle of the club’s geometric center relative to the ground, measured at the lowest point of the swing.

Mevo+ Pro Package

Vertical Swing Plane

Vertical angle described by the trajectory of the clubhead relative to the ground.

Mevo+ Pro Package

Low Point

The horizontal distance from the location of ball strike, to the point where the club trajectory bottoms out (lowest point in the arc).

Mevo+ Pro Package

Ball Data

Ball Speed

Launch speed of the golf ball. Ball speed has the biggest effect on carry distance. Centeredness of impact and an increase in club speed will ensure a higher ball speed.

Mevo and Mevo+

Launch Angle

Angle at which the golf ball is launched relative to the horizon of the radar. Launch angle will influence the shot height and is mostly determined by the dynamic loft and angle of attack.

Mevo and Mevo+

Launch Direction

Direction in which the golf ball gets launched relative to the radar’s target line. Club face angle will have the biggest affect on the horizontal launch angle of the ball.

Mevo+

Vertical Descent

Angle at which the ball approaches the landing area. A lower descent angle will increase distance with a driver, and a steeper descent angle will give a player more stopping power on the green with an iron.

Mevo+ Pro Package

Smash Factor

Ball Speed ÷ Club Speed
The energy transfer ratio from club to ball as a result of impact position on the club face. Centered impact will improve smash factor for optimal ball speeds.

Mevo and Mevo+

Spin Rate

Number of rotations per minute of the ball at launch. A higher spin loft and higher friction will increase the spin rate of the ball.

Mevo and Mevo+

Spin Axis

The axis tilt on the ball to determine the direction of curvature in the ball flight. A function of the delta between club face angle and club path. The amount of curvature in the ball flight is governed by (ball speed)² as a result of aerodynamic forces on the ball.

Mevo+

Carry Distance

Landing distance of the ball from the tee. Ball speed, spin rate, spin axis, and vertical launch angle are all factors that will determine the carry distance.

Mevo and Mevo+

Roll Distance

Amount of roll from carry distance to final position of the ball. Lower spin rate and lower effective angle of descent will increase the amount of roll on the surface.

Mevo+

Total Distance

Final position of the ball on the ground from the tee.

Mevo+

Lateral Landing

Distance of the ball’s impact point measured perpendicular to the target line.

Mevo+

Apex Height

Maximum height of the ball trajectory.

Mevo and Mevo+

Flight Time

Amount of time the ball spends in the air from time of club impact to initial ground impact, measured in seconds.

Mevo and Mevo+

Shot Dispersion

Grouping of the landing positions of shots with the selected club showing forward and lateral deviation of that cluster of shots.

Mevo+

Putting Data

Launch Speed

Speed of the golf ball coming off the putter face.

Mevo+

Total Distance

Distance the golf ball travels from impact to its final resting position.

Mevo+

Ball Direction

Initial direction of the golf ball in degrees (left or right), relative to the target line.
