mevo in the news

This was the buzz product before the show started and judging by the people lined up to try it out the buzz was real. As of now, it is the most affordable radar launch monitor to offer ball and club data to the consumer.

Your dad is sure to appreciate any of the gifts that we suggest below. There is something for everyone – for a sleepy dad, for a techy dad, for a cooking dad, or for a gardening dad. Whatever is his jam, you’ll find something perfect here!

Father's Day is June 16th, which means you've got less than two weeks to get something fun for the guy who likely introduced you to the game. Need some suggestions? We've got 'em, for a range of budgets from modest to massively over-the-top:

If you’ve ever been hanging around a high-value client the one thing that you know is that to make yourself stand out in their eyes, a high-end gift that really wows them is in order, why? Well, they already certainly have got lots of stuff themselves, also a myriad of people around them wanting to gain their favor are already there trying to swoop them, how do you stand out?

By getting them the best high-end gift of them all, and luckily, we have quite a few ideas on just what that might be.

One of the most effective ways to bring your golf game to the next level is by looking at statistics related to your golf swing. There is only so much improvement you can make by guessing how far you can hit the ball, approximating your angle of attack and that’s not to mention that it is nearly impossible to estimate your spin rates, launch angles and many other important stats.

The reason so many golfers don’t usually improve their game using statistics in because access to them is limited and often expensive. You can go to an indoor facility and get an hour or two on a simulator with statistics given. Aside from this being expensive, you only get that one time use, with no way to expand upon this practice and continue your forward progression.

Dads are great, but don’t you wish that you could sort of update them sometimes? Upgrade them so they don’t seem so “ancient” and are actually capable to keep up with these days’ rhythm?

Well, you can, sort of. Arm your dad with the latest, most useful gadgets to help him perform better during his day.

If a golfer is only as good as their tools, it makes sense that you need a tool to track and measure your results. However, you’ll need more than just the numbers that make it to the scorecard. You’ll want the reasons why the golf ball is reacting the way it does from your swing. You’ll want data such as carry distance, club head speed, ball speed, smash, vertical launch angle, spin, height and flight time.

These are the numbers that help explain your swing and your score. After all, what gets measured gets improved.

To help identify my golf swing statistics, I recently tested the FlightScope mevo. It’s an easy to use launch monitor that provides all the swing data that could want.

With American Thanksgiving here means that Black Friday and the Holiday Season is upon us. As usual, I release a holiday gift guide based on products that I’ve personally used and recommend. In the past, this gift guide has focused on products that are under $100. However, I thought that I would change it up this year simply because there are too many gadgets that are more than $100 that I’d like to recommend.

With Black Friday and Cyber Monday in the offing maybe now is the time to take advantage of some sales. So without further delay here we go.

Technology… no matter where you look it’s all around us. When you really think about it… golf and technology have really come to the forefront of the golf industry. It’s not just about golf clubs, golf balls, golf shafts and materials used to manufacture these goods. It goes so much deeper than that. Technology has done a lot when it comes to golf. It’s aided golfers in becoming longer and faster.

One of the trends that I’ve noticed in Orlando, Florida at the last few PGA Merchandise Show’s is that more and more tech gadgets are rising to the surface. From GPS units to wearable technology. However, technology to help golfers become longer and faster is useless unless you can optimize your numbers. This is where launch monitors enter the fray.

For decades I’ve been saying there’s an easy way to make a million dollars. All you have to do is invent a product that will improve your golf game.

Many companies have tried but have not been able to crack that exploding bombshell of fame and profitability in the reported $7 billion golf industry, with exceptions such as “The Putting Arc” or “The Whip” or “Medicus” and more.

Now, along comes a company called Flightscope, a leader in 3D Doppler ball tracking systems designed for golfers to practice with a purpose. Flightscope is gaining popularity and earning market share because it is affordable and it works.

Mevo is one of golf’s hottest new tech items, and it gives players affordable access to TOUR-quality shot data. Plus, Tiger Woods’s golf ball release is set to hit shelves for a limited time in 2018.

This year’s biggest news is mainly technology and data.  These days nearly anything can be measured, whether you want it to be or not. But if you are someone who wants to know how much less your swing speed is than the pros so you know what to work on, there’s now a pocket-sized device that gives you stats on your swing, is 100 percent portable, and even shows you data on your phone.  You can even do it swing by swing and the device will superimpost stats over each one. What is it, you ask? That would be mevo, lower case m.

It sounds too good to be true.

For just under $500, you can get a pocket-sized launch monitor from an industry leader, pair it with a free app on your smart phone, and get accurate information on clubhead speed, ball speed, launch angle, carry yardage, and four other parameters to fine-tune your game on your own time. Indoors or out. Short game through driver.
