It is a unique radar, synchronized with your mobile device to automatically record and clip video of your swing with data overlay. FlightScope mevo was developed as a consumer product for golfers to practice with a purpose while still having the option to receive lessons and tips from an instructor who uses the higher-end FlightScope model.
