This was my first time ever using a Skytrak vs mevo plus Golf Launch Monitor. I actually found it really easy to setup. I followed the instructions to fully charge the unit and place it level and aligned with my target. This was pretty easy as I have a very level floor and a line in my mat to have it straight very simply. The SkyTrak connected to my computer easily using WiFi and actually did not require a password which made is simple but a little worrisome that someone else could connect at anytime and possibly interfere if in the public for use.
Starting the comparison with skytrak vs mevo plus the first wedges and early irons showed the units to be very comparable as you can see in the video. The distances, spin, and ball flights were all very close. But as I got to faster clubs I noticed that the SkyTrak unit appeared to have a strong side spin and almost seems like it did not account for any spin decay and the Flightscope Mevo Plus felt closer to my real life ball flight I am used to. I plan on doing some research here and doing more testing with additional software to see if that makes any changes. This was the very first time using the unit so I want to be sure we do additional comparisons allowing for more variables and shots.
