Just received my Mevo+ Thursday. We have all the distance setups correct “we think”. We are waiting for the TCG2019 to come in. For now we are playing the E6 demo - it seams that our distances are not accurate. Myself and others that used it today are typically 285yrds-300 plus. But in demo mode. We are only hitting up to 250yrds at the furthest. Is it due to being in demo mode?

As a PGA professional, I really appreciated this video. You went through a lot of the questions that I have about my unit. (I just a Mevo+ to use in the winter for myself and my students.) This was extremely helpful and thank you so much for taking the time to put all this information in one place.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Hi Jason, That is great to hear! I appreciate you watching!

[@sjgsteve21]

excellent reminder about not elevating the unit off the floor if wanting to simulate putting. I've been having issues (both with spin numbers on full shots and putting) and will give this a try.

[@raghibrehmani3520]

Thanks Jay for the great stuff. I’m a potential buyer of Mevo+ and I see many queries raised about putting results shown by Mevo+. I suggest someone to prepare "Stimp Rating," indicating the actual distance the ball has rolled on the surface and the distance shown by the Flightscope on the same surface for the same putt. One may not be in the possession of a proper 36’ long Stimpmeter to do this ratings, it can be done with any grooved bar or channel of even smaller length which keeps the ball on track as it rolls down and exits the ramp. If required, the Stimpmeter can be modified a bit to have a hollow area in the groove of the channel (where ball is not touching the channel) to ensure that the radar waves have no difficulty to track the ball. Hope the results would give some more confidence to the users and add realism in the indoor practice.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I have a stimp meter. My turf rolls 10.5 every time. I've matched this with e6 stimp in many videos and you also can see the ball speed to judge it. Radar will never be as good as camera indoor at least without with perfect smooth role and environment. But you can see how well I have it performing. With the outdoor potential, price, and features Mevo+ stands tall in its price point.

[@davidcullen3578]

Great work again Jay. I can see you being asked to do more of these for each of the launch monitors and a Mevo +, FAQ Part 2 plus even a beginners guide FAQ to the software.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Thank you, David! Yeah it is tough to compile it all without missing a handful of things but the questions in the comments are already helping fill in a few blanks. I agree I’ll see what I can do moving forward for all devices as I get asked questions, become aware of solutions and enhancements etc.

[@TheZebbyD]

First of all, great videos. Have been watching for a few years and always great content. Having recently purchased a Mevo+ as I begin to build my sim, I'm torn between a sim enclosure build from one of the UK suppliers, or trying to get a system in place like you with the curtains. Do you have a detailed breakdown of how you created that anywhere? Also, if you have any specifics on the flooring and hitting surface, that would be great. Thanks in advance!

[@paudiemceneaney881]

Wow Jay - fantastic video. Perfect timing like you mentioned...as I've got another 6 weeks before my Mevo+ gets here. Everything but the projector, mount and cable is here for the SwingBay though....so I'll be putting all of that up this weekend. Great tips for me to keep in mind as I get setup. Love the visuals as well. Thanks again!

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Nice! Glad you enjoyed it. Clearly I can't cover everything in a 20min video but a lot of great questions and answers below in the comments too! Thanks for watching!

[@clevited]

I have some questions: 1) Given an ideal putting environment/set up, how reliable are the putt reads? Minimimum putting distance it can reliably pick up? 2) You said higher ball speeds need more distance. Was the problem that it wasn't picking up the shot or that it wasn't reading accurately? What would be considered higher ball speed where this can become a noticeable issue? 3) Any external battery packs that will work with Mevo officially for use on the go or if you don't want to have it plugged in in your sim? 4) Does it reliably read flop shots and short chips? 5) Are they still back ordered for months or has that improved? Thanks for the video, good information.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I consider my environment to be close to ideal based on my testing. I am comfortable with putts about 6' or more. Also 10ft but downhill 3ft etc. a 6' putt downhill 3ft could be tough but clearly is a rare putt. Better off to keep hitting it short a few times until it reads. Most play 10ft gimmies and don't have an issues. I am 10ft of flight with 150mpg ball speed. Some people with high ball speeds like 160, 170 etc that I have talked to moved to 12' ball to screen and helped any driver concerns. Yes external batter pack works great. I will put the link below. That is something I just forgot about. Yes chipping works great see my videos. Lead time is up to 14 weeks right now with some availability sooner if a dealer as incoming stock.

Haven’t seen many people mention this but if you have an iPad Pro you can get a usb-c Ethernet adapter and use Ethernet for an internet connection and WiFi to the Mevo+.

Hi, i use E6 connect with my Mevo plus and noticed that E6 is not storing my golf shots. I use E6 connect in the offline mode as I don’t have cellular setup on my iPad Pro,and wondered if that may be why. I have only used E6 on the practise ranges so far and will hopefully try it out on one of the courses soon. Thank you for all your extremely helpful videos!

[@AMaxwell1985]

I am just finishing up my garage and the idea was to build a simulator for the Winter here in Canada.. Mevo+ definitely is the way I want to go, Ive been watching every single video since the unit came out. I just don’t know if I can justify waiting 14-17 weeks. A lot can go wrong in that amount of time, especially with the way things are going now in the world.

[@neova2]

For putting my golf mats are 2 inches thick higher then the floor as I had to put the Mevo+ on a block to be level so there is a drop between the ball and the radar. The key is to ensure the ball to the screen is flat so the ball rolls smoothly!

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Exactly, that is explained thoroughly here. Flat, level, and smooth :) Thanks for watching

[@trynforpar]

Great presentation! I just received the Mevo + today and in the process of setting it up. Having a problem connecting E6 to the system. FS golf is no problem but E6 is giving me an issue.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Most of the time I hear this it's because you have to go under the settings of the software and change to short indoor mode and select the device inside of e6. The other thing I run into is people not force closing the app because you can only connect to one software or device at once.

[@seantoland7309]

Thanks for putting this video together. i'm hoping to make some adjustments to my putting approach based on your feedback. I've been having a lot of issues with no-reads, as well as any slight downhill putt goes 30 feet past the hole, regardless of how hard I hit it. I bought some mats to put under my putting turf to make it level, so I'm hoping that works. Additionally, I'm wondering if my refrigerator and TV are an issue. I don't believe that they're in the line of the unit, but they are off to the right, approximately 4 or 5 feet away from the unit. Do you think that's an issue? I'm having some challenges with the yardage. 5i through wedges are consistently about 1-2 clubs short.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Those inconsistencies for sure sound like setup and or interference issues. Is there any way you can move the fridge and TV behind the mevo or out of your space for testing? Also be sure to have the flat smooth surface and level surface for putting as I talked about. Putt 7ft from the unit. Thanks for watching and please report back.

[@mmkat99]

The problem is not knowing where interference is coming from. I have a workshop garage. Everything is out of view but I have issues from time to time and Tech support was no help. Said it could be intereference. That doesn’t help at all. It would be great to have a system check showing if the radar is getting interference and where from

[@kenb9124]

I’m going to set up my simulator in the tandem part of my 3-car garage. I won’t have a screen just a net. Was going to screen cast to a 40” tv on the wall in front of where I would be facing when I hit. Watching this video, should I instead put it on the wall further back behind where the Mevo will be and just tilt it towards me?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I know a lot of people that do this. It needs to be far enough on the side just to prevent interference.

[@peterlascelles1787]

Looking at the putting diagram at 6:00 in the video, I can duplicate the preferred top or bottom setups. I have smooth concrete slab that many would consider “flat,” but does have a very slight even slope for drainage of about 1/2 inch per 10 feet down away from my planned Mevo+ location. It’s like you took the bottom diagram and tilted it slightly down to the left. How much do you think that slight consistent slope might affect Mevo+ reading putts?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

If it slopes down, not up it could potentially be an issue as it could lose sight of some of the ball. Testing is the only way to truly know. As always completely flat is the best. Thanks for watching.

[@reynaldovaldez3219]

Can i use Almost Golf Balls for Mevo1. I will setup a small indoor, and safety is a factor.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

No, I have a video on this. Even though chipping is "ok" the data is not right. It is reading the ball so impossible to get correct launch, spin, speed etc.

[@CraigMatsuura]

So the Mevo+ comes with e6 connect IoS, but I do not have any IoS devices, I have a PC and Android. Do you know if e6 connect or any of your software vendors would swap the IoS license for a PC license?

[@mikeadamski6061]

So would having my boat in the next garage bay interfere with this unit?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

No that should be fine. It’s really something in direct view of the unit like steel beams behind the screen or right next to it. I have found loud noises and humming seem to be the biggest culprits. Lots of people are using them in aluminum barns, and things like that with no issue.

[@anub100official7]

just use any cable to charge. get the low amp ones. they charge slow therefore wont harm the battery. the reason why they dont recommend to use other chargers is because if u use high amp chargers like super chargers for phones, it may harm the device.

[@fanoftheboxtoo]

I noticed you are putting in the same area as your drives and irons, is that still the case? thanks for the time.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Yes you can still do it this way. But you need a smooth a level surface so many have a putting Mat on the side. I am fine with the results the way I am doing it. I do get an occasional bounce that can affect the read.

[@michael_somers]

Thanks for this video! Regarding heavy metal objects, you mentioned fridges. Are heavy metal objects ok if they’re not plugged in? Forgive my ignorance; completely clueless on radar tech. I got mine yesterday and have it set up in my metal barn 😳 table saw, furnace, mutter saw, drill press, mini fridge… etc, etc… hmm

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

A fridge could be ok unplugged just depends but heavy metal objects will cause issues such as steel beam, etc. Loud fans and even a TV on a wall if close to the hitting area I have seen cause an issue. Cleaner the better. Thanks for watching

[@scottw9267]

Do the ground mounted projectors (with the guard covering it) affect mevo? In theory it's not in open view because the guard covers it, but have seen that people think it's a problem.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I have heard both ways. Some said just fine and some said was an issue. Could always be covered in metal mesh to block it from the radar I suppose.

[@meghanblanchard3342]

I have a question about interference. The room we are looking to put our projector and mevo+ in is huge (20x20). However, it also is our laundry room. The washer and dryer would be on one wall off to the side and our large gunsafe would be on the other wall, so to the right and left of the system. We are trying to decide between the Mevo+ or the Skytrak. Would this cause interference with the mevo+ if it is a good 6-7’ to the side of the system?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

It is impossible for anyone to guarantee if that will interfere or not as all objects, rooms etc. are unique. That sounds close though and could be in view of the mevo+. I would say try it, worse case you move them? Just a thought. The gun safe is the one that sounds like heavy metal to me and of course you would not want to run a washer or dryer during play even if further off to the side. I hope that helps.

[@meghanblanchard3342]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the quick response!

[@andymac2k1]

What are the pros and cons between this, the sky track and the new ES tour and which would you recommend for a home set up and why?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

They are similar in nature but both unique in operation. ES Tour needs the calibration right and a ball with a straight bold logo. The results were good for me. SkyTrak is a little more forgiving with any logo ball and has a laser dot where you place it. SkyTrak putting seems a little more off vs ES Tour and Skytrak seemed to not miss sidespin on driver where ES Tour plus I did see some. Positives and negatives to both from what I can tell. Thanks for watching!

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Shotgun_Andy I forgot to mention how ES Tour is microphone activated. So it is important not to have loud music or anything going on when you’re playing as it could interfere.

Thanks for all of the info! Couple of questions, 1, which unit do you think is better between the Mevo Plus and ES Tour Plus? I like the extra club data and camera-based operation of the ES, but it seems to me that the Mevo Plus might be the more accurate/reliable device. Second question, I often hit at an indoor range that goes out probably around 70 yards or so, would the Mevo Plus still be in indoor mode or outdoor mode? Thanks for the help!

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

First off thanks for watching. I really don't pick units, Jared. I demonstrate them in detail and help make sure viewers are getting what will work for their environment and needs. I just don't want to push any specific unit. The ES Tour has unique things like certain ball requirements, important calibration, and needing to line the ball up accurately. It has the benefit of working in a short space as it is a side unit. Mevo+ has benefits like outdoor use, ball of choice just using the dot indoor, comes with E6 ios 5 course pack, but requires more space and also a "clean" environment with no interference items like I mentioned. Both have value in their priced space. I hope that helps point some things out. I have covered both quite a bit now in the channel so watch the videos to help see the performance of each.

[@623baller]

3 issues. 1. driver feels about 20~30 yards short. 2. spin number is estimated (italicized) 30~40% of the time for all clubs. 3. short chips doesnt get picked up occasionally. everything else seems spot on. using indoor short mode and metallic dot (8ft sensor to tee, 8.8feet ball to net). it's a backyard set up concrete from ball to net is covered but i have a gap between sensor to ball (sensor sits on an alignment stand). is a strip needed or if i simply cover the gap between that space and keep using the stand that would suffice?

[@wensiwu3814]

Great video! Thanks! Does the indoor setup gives better results than indoor short? Since it has more space for measurement?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I have not tested indoor mode only short indoor and outdoor. It’s very possible that normal indoor mode with longer flight would give a more precise result since it has more time to read the ball. Thanks for watching

[@pinhound8261]

Great videos. They have helped me a lot with my set up. I know you get tons of questions but if you have a chance I have been having huge issues with short chipping and putting. Outside of 10 yards the unit is near perfect. I’ve used, e6, FS, and tried awesome golf. It’s really impressive in all those apps except for chipping and putting on e6. My set up is 8 feet ball to unit and 12 feet to the screen. I have a mat to hit off of and a birdie ball putting mat next to the hitting mat. The rest of the surface is built up with gym rubber tiles. The putting mat and the tiles are the exact same height. The hitting mat might be 1/8 an inch higher but it’s really close. The mevo is on the gym times so same height as everything else. No gaps. Putts read 1/10 times if I’m lucky and short chips are almost as bad. My cage has a metal frame (EMT) conduit. Could this be causing interference? There’s no computers, electronics, appliances, fluorescent lights or anything else in front of the lm. Been reading everything I can and watching as many videos as Possible but can’t find a solution. Anything you’ve heard to try to figure this out? Unit is set at 12 degrees.

I am still figuring out my setup which should be very similar to yours. Did you ever work it out? Also, does the birdieball putting mat get damaged from balls landing on it? I was wondering how the foam of that mat is holding up. Thanks and good luck!

[@cougardave2006]

What a great video! Curious-if I connect the radar to my laptop via wifi, and I don’t have the option to use an Ethernet cord for internet to my laptop, will I not be able to use the app to play courses? Or once I download the app to my MacBook, will I not need internet at that point?

[@dankelsey8674]

can you detail how you set up your hitting area vs the remaining turf or carpet to obtain a totally level area. would obviously like to save by creating a smaller hitting area with the more expensive turf. thanks for any help.

[@sheltonswimmer4142]

I’m thinking about going with mevo plus, but I have a metal building (shop) that I will using it in will this affect the mevo plus performance ? Thanks

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I know a lot of people with setups in light metal buildings. No heavy steel beams in view of near mevo+ and it’s working well. Key is just not heavy steel or metal right behind the screen etc. Feel free to email for discounts. [e-mail]

[@jacobartuso4450]

When you say off to the side how far off to the side. I have golf bags filled with clubs (12 bags some pro staff, some carry) as well as flags and course maps on the wall are these going to interfere with the radar? I would estimate they are 4-5 feet from the hitting area

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

5ft off to the side of the hitting area/ball should be no issue. Do try to keep the sides clear in front of the ball as the radar view gets wider and you want to do the best to eliminate any issues but generally this is going to be more of heavy metal, loud noises etc.

[@brianfleming3424]

Awesome job can you tell me how do I access the camera ?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Use FS Golf. It can be used for alignment and swing recording. Check out this video it shows it all. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKXOhpJ6hLqghZo

[@larandman1]

Great video, thank you. I purchased my Mevo + and I received it about a month ago. I was busy with other projects until now, so I am ready to set it up. I realized after watching this video that my environment probably will not work with Mevo+. Can you review my reasoning and let me know if my environment is salvageable? I have a short indoor setup outdoors-my hitting area is 8feet from a net. Because my back yard is sloped, I built a small deck for a level surface and this deck is 3 feet off the ground. I built another platform 9 feet back for the Mevo that is level with the hitting area. Your video warns about a gap a few inches deep, my gap is 3 feet deep. Is there anything I can do to salvage this situation?

[@jakeheez]

Best overall information on the Mevo+! Emailed you!

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Great to hear, Jake. Thanks for watching and reaching out. I will answer promptly.

[@EasyIAPs]

Jay, using my Mevo+ for ball striking only into my outdoor net, is it OK to have a gap between the devise and the ball? I have the short indoor setting and I use the dot. The Mevo is a an inch or so below the hitting surface and 8 feet back with 11 feet of ball flight. I mainly use the FS Skills so what angle should I have the Mevo+ set 12 or 18? Lastly what tolerance is the roll allowed be set at. I won your tumbler and it’s fantastic. Thank you. I’m considering going all crazy and purchasing the new Trackman. When I’m ready - soon, I’ll be knocking on your door. Your videos are the best in the business.

[@haumanos]

Here in AZ - any issues with using Mevo+ outside and hitting into net (sunshine/reflection with stickers?) Thanks

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I have not had an opportunity to really work with the unit in extreme heat. I think anything in a bad enough environment could have heat concerns. Would be pretty simple to set up a tent or umbrella for something like that though. I hope that helps.

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Good info, can you charge the unit and use it while charging to a battery pack outdoors? Some people say that you should never plug it to a wall outlet and only charge it using a 10,000 battery pack.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Yes, I have used it not only plugged in and play simulator golf but also outdoor using a external battery pack and it worked great for me. I am wondering if some people have extension cords that maybe poorly shielded or other type of interference. Thanks for watching!

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

[@mwfxtechnicalanalysis9136]

Hi, I was looking into these as I think the price point and data is great, pluss the skills app will help with my gapping and keeping practice focused. The question I would love for you to answer is being based in the uk the range I use is covered bays. I think there is 7ft behind, I would use outdoor setting but wondering if the canopy or roof level would stop the machine reading the ball flight, mainly for high lift shots. 60° etc. Any ideas?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

It really just depends on how far it overhangs. Might be best to experience the with that environment. Thanks for watching

[@haroldjackson6848]

I have a couple of questions: 1. Will it work on my Ipad 11? 2. I have a TV mounted on the wall at the ball position and a fluorescent light overhead (10ft). Will either interfere with the Mevo plus?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

The tv on the wall should be find if more in line with the Mevo to the side. But leave the light off! No fluorescent lights can be on. iPads should be checked to recommendations of whatever software you want to use. FS golf, e6 etc. I am now recommending the iPad Pro for E6 because I think the graphic quality is better because of the image movement being smooth versus choppy. The other nice part about the iPad Pro is the high resolution screen allows for projectors to have a larger image. Thanks for watching.

[@brianlhenaff383]

Would I need a wifi signal in my shop, which is 150ft from my house, where my set up will be?

You can use various software offline but you would just need to download and activate etc with internet ahead of time

So E6 is free with iOS devices. So would a Mac PC be free or would you have t do the $300/yr like with other computers?

That is only very basic. The full basic is $300 year and also includes online play etc. That is the same price for iOS or PC. $600 for the expanded 100+ courses

[@alanmcmaster1423]

Does the material surface have to be anything specific to fill the gap between the Mevo + unit and the hitting/putting surface? My hitting surface is 1 3/4" high. I thought I'd lay down some plywood and cover it with carpet to level things out.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Alan McMaster I think any level surface is fine. I know some people they used rubber gym tiles to fill behind their hitting mat to the wall and said it’s working great, so you should be good.

[@vik7540]

What's the recommended voltage input. Lots of countries don't have 110 volts.

[@paulpierre3824]

Question. How do you get mevo plus pro package to give accurate low point data

[@PaulGSimGolfandRacing]

Jay great video! I now have all my building supplies for my enclosure so should be up and running next week 😁. I have a question on alignment, if you are hitting main shots (6" from center) and putting (9" from center) - as in the slide you had up..... Does the mevo need to be aligned to the centre line, if so, where would you aim main shots and puts to, to the center line or straight?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

paul garnham As long as the unit is square it will take off from where you hit it. So putting off from the center line if fine. If you watch some of my other videos I actually drive the ball to the right of the centerline and putt off to the left. The recommended set up is full shots to the left and putting to the right. So it shows you it’s quite adaptable. Thanks for watching

[@PaulGSimGolfandRacing]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos i get the set up..... But where would "straight" aim be? As the center alignment line of the unit is not directly straight infront of putting or full shots. Is a straight shot towards the center? (where the mevo is aligned to) or would a straight shot be 6" left of this for full shots and 9" right for putting? (on the screen from the center line) I've probably not explained this well.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

paul garnham Straight is dead straight? If you unit is square to the screen then you putt square to the screen? The offset does not affect aim. You just putt or hit straight from each location.

[@michaelcrosthwait325]

Hello, i need help planning my setup. Its outdoors/backyard hitting off a patio. Is the mevo plus my best option? I was planning to use a net return pro large w side barriers. Is that enough protection given that i need to be at least 8 feet from net?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Shoot me an email so we can discuss. You do need to be 8ft ball to net minimum. I can show you options. [e-mail]

[@lord1999ful]

Very concerned now! Want to set it up in my garage! And now I’m not so sure! Not everyone have a dedicated room for it? It doesn’t say anything on the website about that!

[@stepheneidson26]

Can I use heavy duty tarp that is white as a budget impact screen?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I don’t think that’s a good idea. He will most likely get some heavy bounce back and balls will likely rip through. You would be better off hitting into really thick bed blankets and letting them deteriorate.

[@paulgray1901]

I have a room that is 20x12. Can I put the unit at the back of the room and still have chairs on either side of the unit for seating for spectators or other players. How far away should non-metal chairs be from the unit to still allow the radar to work properly?

[@Patel01Ashish]

Are you able to evaluate my seyp with mevo+. Consistently 8-10 yards lower on pw-7iron. 6- driver lower by 10-20 yards.

[@tcwoodrn]

I just got my M+ (came in 9 weeks for those wondering). This video is extremely helpful. I previously had a SkyTrak and I find the M+ to be far superior. I have had some issues with driver distance. Today i was hitting the range on FS golf and getting normal numbers and then out of nowhere everything was juiced (280-290 normal and started reading 320-330). Any idea why that happens? I’ve found the opposite using the range on E6. It’ll show me as a 230 carry which I know is too short (I play 50+ rounds a year and know my numbers). Just looking for the best accuracy to fine tune my game.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

The latest release of FS golf had an error. They are expecting the update to come out today or tomorrow to fix the issues.

[@tcwoodrn]

Any tips on why driver distance might be the opposite in FS skills and somewhat in E6. I’ll flush a drive in FS skills that in real life is 290 all day and it will carry 235 and total 250 in skills. E6 is better but still tops out around 260. I have it 8’ exactly behind, no drop off between monitor and mat. I have it set for 3” tee height (2” for mat and 1” for tee). Angle is correct. Not sure what it could be. Had a buddy hit who bombs and his was also very short.

[@zaccann124]

Great video! Still waiting for mine to come in. Couple of questions... 1. Do you think it’d be ok to have my tv flush on the wall right inline of where I’m hitting into my net without interference? (Hope that made sense) 2. Any recommendations on a cheaper gaming pc that will do the trick and give me the better graphics without spending a fortune. The Mevo will be the only thing I’ll be running the computer with. Thanks a bunch!

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

They say no TV in the sight of the Mevo+. How many feet off to the side of the Mevo+? Best deal on gamming PC's is to look on eBay. its all about the GPU. Just search for decent PC's that have 16GB ram and GTX1060. Thanks for watching

[@zaccann124]

Golf Simulator Videos I’d say 5-6 ft off to the side from the Mevo+. I might end up trying it and if it dosnt work I’ll have an idea of what might be the issue!

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Zac Cann Worth experimenting. Depends how far in front of the view and what object is made of like metal etc. TVs they have said to keep out of the hitting view.

[@karlborman4729]

When setting the sight line should i move the mevo plus left and right to center it or should i angle it or use the app to move the center line? And then does that carry over to E6..... ?
