How to Set Up the FlightScope Mevo Gen 2 for Indoor Simulator Use

Position the Unit

Place the Mevo Gen 2 on the floor directly behind the ball on your target line. You can lean it against a wall for stability — that is what Jay does — or use the included kickstand. Either works fine as long as the unit stays stable and does not move during your session.

Distance: Position the unit 7 to 8 feet from the ball. Jay runs just over 7 feet. More distance gives the radar more ball flight to read, which improves data quality — particularly for spin. Do not go shorter than this if you can avoid it.

Set the Tilt

Tilt the unit back so it is angled slightly upward toward the ball. For indoor use, Jay recommends 11° to 13° tilt — he personally stays in the 11° to 12° range. The FS Golf app shows you the exact tilt reading in real time so you do not need to guess.

In the app, Jay shows his unit reading 11.2° with almost completely flat horizontal alignment. Both readings are displayed in the setup screen — check both before moving on.

Set Ball-to-Screen Distance

Make sure you have at least 10 feet of distance from the ball to your impact screen or net. Jay runs just over 10 feet. This gives the Mevo Gen 2 enough ball flight to read the data accurately before the ball hits the screen. The more room you have here the better.

Set Target Alignment in the App

In the FS Golf app, go to Calibration and set your target alignment. This tells the app exactly where you are hitting from relative to the unit. Jay emphasizes getting this centered on the line — it is important for accurate launch direction and shot shape readings.

Use the slider in the calibration screen to adjust how far forward or back the hitting position is if needed. In most setups at 7 to 8 feet this will not require much adjustment, but it is worth checking.

Run Setup Verification

Once alignment is set, go to Setup Verification in the app. Grab a club — Jay uses a pitching wedge — and hit a one-handed shot. This is not a real swing, just enough to measure where the ball is launching from relative to the sensor. The app will tell you how far left or right your ball position is from the center of the hitting zone.

Jay's first verification shot showed 0.2° to the right of center — essentially perfect. If yours shows a larger offset, adjust your ball position slightly and re-verify. You want to be within a degree or two of center.

Use an RCT Ball for Best Indoor Spin

For indoor use, Jay uses and recommends the Titleist RCT (Radar Capture Technology) ball. The RCT ball has a special coating that helps the Mevo Gen 2's Fusion Tracking technology measure spin more accurately indoors, where the ball does not travel far enough for the radar to fully read spin from ball flight alone.

This is one of the most impactful things you can do to improve data quality on the Mevo Gen 2 indoors. The difference in spin reading consistency between an RCT ball and a standard range ball is noticeable.

Sort Your Lighting

Lighting is the most overlooked setup variable on the Mevo Gen 2 — and according to Jay it matters for everything including putting. The FS Golf app has a built-in lux reading that tells you whether your lighting is sufficient. Jay recommends getting a cheap lux meter if you want to dial it in precisely, though the in-app reading is a good guide.

What to light: Focus on the area from the Mevo Gen 2 unit all the way to a few feet in front of the ball. This is the zone the Fusion Tracking technology needs to see clearly to work at its best. Adequate lighting in this zone maximizes the camera component of Fusion Tracking — which directly affects spin accuracy and overall data quality.
