FlightScope Mevo (original): Room Size, Specs & 5-Year Cost

Room size: will the FlightScope Mevo (original) fit?

The FlightScope Mevo (original) sits on the floor behind the ball, looking down the target line. A radar unit behind the ball has to see the ball fly before it hits the screen, so depth is the critical dimension.

Dimension	What to plan for	How it's worked out
Depth, screen to back wall	17 ft minimum · 19 ft comfortable	1 ft screen gap + 8 ft of ball flight + 7 ft unit distance + 1 ft behind the unit
Width, right-handed only	10 ft minimum · 12 ft comfortable	Swing arc on both sides of the golfer
Width, left- and right-handed	12 ft minimum	Centered hitting area so either stance fits

Ceiling height for a full driver swing

Golfer height	Estimated ceiling needed	Working
5′6″	8′ 10″	66 in + 45.5 in × sin 45° + 1.5 in mat + 6 in margin
5′10″	9′ 2″	70 in + 45.5 in × sin 45° + 1.5 in mat + 6 in margin
6′2″	9′ 6″	74 in + 45.5 in × sin 45° + 1.5 in mat + 6 in margin
6′5″	9′ 9″	77 in + 45.5 in × sin 45° + 1.5 in mat + 6 in margin

FOREference calculationEstimated ceiling = golfer height + driver length × sin 45° + mat height + a safety margin. Steep, upright swings need more; test with a practice swing before you buy. Run your own numbers.

What it measures, and how

The listing shows 7 ball parameters and 1 club parameter (the seller quotes 8 data points in total). Spin is derived from club data rather than read from the ball, so spin-driven numbers such as carry on wedges and curve are estimates.

Group	Parameters listed by the seller
Ball data (7)	Carry distance, Ball speed, Spin rate, Smash factor, Vertical launch angle, Apex height, Flight time
Club data (1)	Clubhead speed

Building a simulator around it

Behind-the-ball radar is indifferent to handedness: left- and right-handed golfers hit from the same spot.

What else a full simulator needs

A short-throw projector matched to your screen shape — see the throw calculator
