The Flightscope Mevo Launch Monitor works by using Doppler radar to track the golf ball from launch to landing. It measures the speed of the ball, as well as the position of the ball as it progresses along its flight path.
The Mevo has a phased antenna array, which means that it has multiple small antennas that can be used to focus the radar beam in different directions. This allows the Mevo to track the ball very accurately, even when it is moving quickly or spinning heavily.
To use the Mevo, simply place it behind the ball and turn it on. The Mevo will automatically detect the ball and start tracking it. You can then hit the ball and the Mevo will display all of the relevant data, such as clubhead speed, ball speed, launch angle, spin rate, and carry distance.
The Mevo also has a built-in camera that can be used to record your swing. This can be helpful for analyzing your swing and making improvements.
Here is a more detailed explanation of how the Mevo’s Doppler radar works:
- The Mevo sends out a radar signal.
- The radar signal bounces off of the golf ball and returns to the Mevo.
- The Mevo measures the frequency shift of the returned signal.
- The frequency shift is proportional to the speed of the golf ball.
- The Mevo also uses the phase shift of the returned signal to calculate the direction of the golf ball.
By measuring the speed and direction of the golf ball at different points along its flight path, the Mevo can accurately calculate all of the relevant launch data.
The Mevo is a very accurate launch monitor and is used by professional golfers and coaches all over the world. It is also a popular choice for amateur golfers who are serious about improving their game.
