I have a Bushnell Launch Pro and Flightscope X3 and the driver issue on the Launch Pro is definitely real. My swing speed tops out around 120 and ball speed 180 and sometimes I get spin ratings under 100 with driver on the Launch Pro.

[@charliebravoactual2742]

Only hits fades lol shots fired

[@glennwatson3313]

I'm surprised you did not mention the Square, but I do like that R50.

[@GolfBusters]

Square seems good but I don’t believe it’s better than the other 5 listed.

[@MetalGear69]

1. Eye Mini 2. Eye Mini Lite 3. Bushnell Launch Pro 4. R50 (sucks at current price tho) 5.) Mevo+

[@bam14bam]

Curious why you say that about the R50? Putting is the only downside I see at the moment.

[@milehighspeedrc8412]

Great content. Two questions for ya. 1. When you mention accuracy and testing accuracy what is your test? Do you place them up against trackman, GCQ or something? 2. You said you had some “concerns” with eye mini (lite) keeping them from the list. Can you elaborate? I was pretty much down to skytrak+ or the mini with the mini leading but now I’m waffling.

[@GolfBusters]

We compare all units to a foresight falcon (gcquad), haven’t had time to test EML but had issues with the eye mini when I tested it.

[@John-ei5uz]

I always enjoy watching your comparison videos. I just bought a second hand Mevo+ with Pro Package installed and for me the biggest issue for the Mevo is short chipping. I still can't get it to register a single shot under 8 yards or a ball speed under 18mph. On fuller shots it's great even though it doesn't read miss shots due to gear effect accurately but I can live with that. But not reading short chip shots just kills the golf simulation experience. Even the MLM2PRO can read shots under 5 yards at its price point so how Flightscope have not been able to manage a fix for that on their much more expensive device that can apparently even read putts (I haven't had much success with that either) is just baffling. And yes, I did try moving the ball closer to the device and make sure I am on level ground between device and ball as you suggested in your previous video. If you have any other advice about getting the Mevo+ to pick up short chips I am all ears. It's just weird how this glaring issue with the Mevo has kind of been just swept under the mat. Cheers!

[@GolfBusters]

So it takes some getting used to but I have never had an issue with short chips using gspro. bascially what i found is 5 foot mevo to ball for chipping. Then you need to almost accelerate through on your chips, if you punch at it, it has a hard time reading. once i figured that out short chips read fine. Hard to get used to though.

[@CWashburn80]

I'm looking into one, but which would be best for both sim golf during the winter, and outdoor practice, or use during rounds?

[@GolfBusters]

The best for outdoor and indoor would be Mevo+, If you want to use it during a round I would probably go Garmin or foresight GC3s. Easier to pick up and set down.

[@garrysutcliffe6254]

Missing the square

[@GolfBusters]

Not as good as the other 5 unfortunately.

[@7Le7]

@@GolfBustersas someone who’s torn between the two. Any reasons why it is worse? My use case would be indoor with gspro

[@amazacw2418]

I tried the R50 at their trial day. Honestly I did not have a good experience. The data just seems wayyyyyy off. I brought my GCQ for comparison and I found a 30y difference between on my drives. No idea if it was setup correctly or not, but until I try it again and finds that it worked properly, I will steer clear of the R50.

[@GolfBusters]

Generally you can’t test two infrared decides side by side as the infrared lights through eachother off.

[@amazacw2418]

@@GolfBusters Devices were not side by side when testing.

[@GolfBusters]

Got it, from our testing we only had one shot read spin incorrectly and all drives seemed to be spot on. I would be shocked to see an actual distance of 30 yards on driver as we didn’t experience that and we really haven’t seen any devices in this price range be that far off of a gcquad.

[@denerafferty524]

What do you not like about the eye mini lite for this list? Im trying to decide between it sbd r50. Will only ever use for sim setup so portability is irrelevant for me.

[@GolfBusters]

Haven’t had great testing experiences with the eye mini but have only had limited testing. We plan to re test it soon.

[@Silva32x]

Is the issue with the bushnell just the algorithm it uses to calculate carry distance? Or is it measuring the data like ball speed and spin incorrectly? Basically I am wondering if the issue is with the hardware or if it’s the software algorithm causing the issues since it can’t actually measure distance.

[@GolfBusters]

So on these shots we found the side spin to read significantly more than the trackman. So it’s something with the device that reads the side spin incorrectly on these shots we believe

[@DubyaKW]

So you’re saying the best behind the ball sim that is good for left/right is the mevo+?

[@GolfBusters]

Yup! That’s what we’ve found!

[@MatthewRich-l1y]

I would love to buy and get you credit for the Garmin. What do I need to do?

Correct only device we don’t have a discount for but it’s still the lowest possible price!

[@jacobhurych9309]

Is the garmen r50 good outdoors at the range?

[@GolfBusters]

I’ve heard yes but haven’t tested

[@floodj3230]

I assume the bushnell issue is also a gc3 issue as well? I have a gc3 and am trying to hit draws and I have a 110-120 club head speed. But I hit the ball pretty high at 90-100 peak on average. Am I in the range for those issues?

[@GolfBusters]

Any foresight or bushnell device seems to have them. It’s very hard to say without testing it out. If your not a super low spinning player already I wouldn’t worry about it

[@floodj3230]

@@GolfBusters I do have instances of really low spin with my driver...

[@GolfBusters]

If you hit draws consistently I would look at SkyTrak+ or R50

He said it was under $5k, and money didn't matter. Why would you buy a square? That would be different if under $1K was a constraint.
