How deep, step by step
How much room depth does it need?
Plan around 17 ft minimum in the calculator, rather than treating FlightScope's 16 ft tracking minimum as finished-room depth.
FlightScope asks for 7–9 ft behind the ball and at least 8 ft of ball flight. The calculator adds Foresight's 1 ft screen-to-wall gap and this site's 1 ft clearance allowance behind the monitor.
That gives an estimated 17–19 ft room depth. FlightScope's published minimum is 16 ft, but that is not the same as a complete screen installation with those allowances.

In the maker’s words
What room dimensions does FlightScope publish?
FlightScope lists a 9 ft minimum ceiling and recommends a room 12 ft wide, 10 ft high and 16 ft long. Those are minimum and recommended figures, not conflicting requirements.
Its placement instructions specify 8 ft directly behind the ball, within the separate 7–9 ft limited-flight range. These official pages were copied on October 17, 2026; the calculator adds installation clearances rather than silently replacing the maker's figures.
A maker minimum does not establish enough clearance for your swing.

Will it fit
Will it fit your room?
The garage is tight overhead; the basement and bedroom also lack depth.
For a 5′9″ golfer using a driver, this site's model marks the two-car garage tight at its 9 ft ceiling. The basement and spare bedroom fail on both ceiling height and depth.
The dedicated room clears the model's comfortable swing allowance. These are estimates, not measurements or safety promises. Enter your dimensions in the room calculator, then check with slow swings first. Ceiling protection and ball rebound remain the owner's responsibility.

Where it costs what
Where is the price different?
FlightScope, The Indoor Golf Shop, PlayBetter, Rain or Shine Golf and GolfBays each listed the Mevo Gen2 at $1,299 on October 19, 2026. None of those listings offered a lower monitor price on that check date.
In Britain, GolfBays UK listed it at £1,199 on October 19, 2026. Keep that separate from the US budget rather than treating it as a dollar comparison.
The checked US listings matched, so price alone did not distinguish those sellers.
Against the alternatives
Which alternatives need less depth?
Paying more for beside-ball placement can reduce the room depth needed.
On October 19, 2026, FlightScope listed the Mevo+ at $1,099, The Indoor Golf Shop listed Square Golf Omni at $1,599, and SkyTrak listed ST MAX at $1,695.
This site's depth estimates are 17 ft, 14 ft and 10 ft respectively. Mevo+ retains the rear-placement footprint. The beside-ball alternatives save depth; Omni lists no subscription fee, while ST MAX lists $99.99–$599.99 a year.
| Monitor | Sits | Depth needed | Price | Subscription |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FlightScope Mevo Gen2 | Behind the ball | 17′ | $1,299 | core data, firmware and software fixes free, no subscription required |
| FlightScope Mevo+ | Behind the ball | 17′ | $1,099 | data parameters free of charge without a subscription fee |
| Square Golf Omni | Beside the ball | 14′ | $1,599 | no subscription fee and 1,000 free credits |
| SkyTrak ST MAX | Beside the ball | 10′ | $1,695 | $99.99–$599.99 a year |
Three years of ownership
What does ownership cost over three years?
Using FlightScope's $1,299 listing on October 19, 2026, the monitor-only three-year total stays $1,299. FlightScope says core data, firmware updates and software fixes require no subscription.
FlightScope also includes ownership of an E6 Connect bundle for iOS and PC. This is not a whole-simulator budget: the screen, hitting surface, display equipment and any separately purchased software remain outside that total.
No required subscription keeps the monitor-only total unchanged over three years.

Where it goes
Where does it sit for left-handers?
FlightScope places the Mevo Gen2 directly behind the ball, aligned with the radar's camera on the ground. The drawing therefore puts the unit behind the hitting line, not beside either player's stance.
For shared right- and left-handed use, leave swing space on both sides. This site's estimate for a 6′2″ golfer sharing the room is 13 ft 4 in wide; rear placement does not remove that width requirement.
Shared-handed play still needs room for both swings, even with the monitor behind the ball.

Readers ask
Answers use the makers’ figures and the dated prices on this page.
Can the FlightScope Mevo Gen 2 be used indoors?
Yes. FlightScope lists a limited-flight setup with 7–9 ft from sensor to tee and at least 8 ft of ball flight. This site's calculator estimates at least 17 ft of finished-room depth after adding clearances.
Does the Mevo Gen 2 launch monitor require a subscription?
FlightScope says no subscription is required for core data, firmware updates or software fixes. That does not make every compatible simulation software purchase free.
What ceiling height does a Mevo Gen2 golf simulator need?
FlightScope publishes a 9 ft minimum ceiling. This site's model estimates a swing top around 9 ft for a 5′9″ golfer with a driver, so that height is tight. Check with slow swings first.
Does the FlightScope Mevo Gen 2 need special balls?
For accurate indoor spin measurements, FlightScope requires aluminum dots or Titleist RCT balls in its limited-flight instructions. Ordinary unmarked balls do not meet that published requirement.
What simulator software works with Mevo Gen2?
FlightScope lists E6 Connect, Awesome Golf for PC and iOS, and GSPro for PC. It says the purchase includes ownership of an E6 Connect bundle with 8 courses for iOS and PC.
