FAQ

We are the only accredited supplier of the Flightscope range of products in New Zealand and have extensive knowledge of the products with over 8 years product experience.

We have excellent levels of support through to the appropriate Support and Development Teams in Flightscope and other products like Swing Catalyst, Trugolf, Awesome Golf, Creative Golf, TGC2019.

We have been building simulators in New Zealand, both commercially and privately since 2012. 

Use of good quality and new balls will ensure that your hit screen will last much longer.

Use of a metal sticker will assist with measuring spin of the ball. The metallic sticker should always face the target. The metal dot creates a gap in the radio waves that allows the launch monitor to obtain more accurate spin data.

Accurate spin data is important as it directly impacts carry distance. Some stickers come with your launch monitor.

NB Titeleist have announced the introduction of a new golf ball developed for specific use with radar based launch monitors, this ball will be available in NZ mid 2022.

1. Ongoing costs. SkyTrak requires a yearly fee to access extra features and to connect to simulator software whereas Mevo+ doesn’t.
2. Mevo+ includes more as a base package than SkyTrak.
3. Mevo+ can be used both indoors and outdoors.

The Mevo offers eight performance data parameters compared to 16 on the Mevo+.

Additionally, the Mevo+ includes an iOS simulation software package. The iOS package includes a lifetime E6 Connect five course package including Aviara, Stone Canyon, Wade Hampton, Sanctuary and the Belfry as well as 17 practice ranges and games. It also has an internal camera for target alignment.

The Mevo does not give shot shape, but the Mevo+ does which is why it can be used for golf simulation play.

*Due to the nature of the open source Android OS, there are not always guarantees when it comes to declaring apps as compatible with certain devices. For this reason we physically buy the devices and test the apps on them, to be sure. We can therefore only fully guarantee the functioning of the apps on the above list of devices. For a complete list of devices supported by the apps, according to the Google Store API: Android Supported Devices

Cost per upgrade:

• Customers with active support agreements: $99 USD plus Gst
• Customers with no support agreement: $399 USD plus gst
• FlightScope does not charge any extra fees for upgrading from older software versions.
• Setup instructions for the Xi, Xi +, Xi Tour, X2 and the X2 Elite

Distance Requirements

• Short Indoor Mode: The distance from the tee to the FlightScope sensor should be exactly 8 feet. For the most accurate measurements in this setup, there must be at least 8 feet of ball flight.
• Indoor Mode: The distance from the tee to the FlightScope sensor should be 11 feet. For the most accurate measurements, there must be at least 13 feet of ball flight.

Environmental Requirements

• Please ensure that there are no obstructions between the FlightScope sensor and the tee. Ideally, fluorescent lights should be avoided; incandescent, halogen or sodium lights are acceptable. If the location has fluorescent lights, aluminium insect screens available from any hardware store (Lowe's or The Home Depot) can be used to shade the lights.

Metal Stickers for Direct Spin Measurement (indoor only)

• Due to the short ball flight distance in an indoor golf swing simulator set up, FlightScope requires that the ball be marked with a metal sticker to get accurate spin readings. Only one sticker is required per ball. The golf ball is placed with the sticker facing the screen, away from the clubface.

FlightScope can be used outdoors (e.g. at a driving range, golf course, or other suitable venue) as well as indoors (indoor driving range, hitting cage, etc.). It is as simple as just changing a setting based on your setup.

Although the FlightScope sensor will not be affected in light rain, for safety reasons it’s recommended to power down and take it indoors when rain starts.

FlightScope is a revolutionary measurement system developed for Golf and other sports. It provides ACTUAL measurement of balls and clubs accurately and for the first time provides quantitative data on player and equipment performance.

FlightScope is very safe. It emits an extremely low level of power, far less than a mobile phone, walkie talkie, or microwave oven. Its levels of radiation is much lower that the most stringent safety levels specified by any regulatory body or government around the world. It carries FCC, Industry Canada and EC certification.
