FlightScope X3 / X3C: 75/100 from 20 owners
I used to own the X3C and I can tell you it’s exponentially better than the Mevo +/gen 2. There is no comparison. One is a precessional tool, and the Mevo is a consumer grade electronic.

The X3 in my opinion far excels in the putting and chipping area of simulation. The Mevo+ with pro packages gives essentially the same amount of info. I also feel like the X3 produces a much more realistic ballflight as well. It’s hard to compare them because of the price point…

GolfJoy Spica 3: 74/100 from 28 owners
I was in the same spot and do alot of work travel so I ended up buying Spica3 basically same as BLP or GC3. Found to be accurate on the range and compared to other monitors. Can do full range or courses on IPad which is what I take to the range with me. No subscription required…

I tested the Golfjoy Spica 3, there are a lot of potential reasons it could be worthwhile but at this point it is not quite there yet. The software is incredibly lacking and there are a lot of bugs. It’s impossible to manipulate or filter the data in any way and certain data…

Foresight GC2: 71/100 from 62 owners
Having used more polished units and far less polished ones I would happily take a feature cut to have a fantastic user experience with the GC2 for the money. The software, how quick it registers shots, accuracy, etc. is far more important for me personally. If I find myself in a…

@mikeh1889 club and ball data is definitely better on the GC I have a track Man, but it’s in the studio and not leaving so this is a pretty cheap way for me to get precise results outdoors. I have tried Mevo in the Garmin R 10 The spin numbers are ridiculous and not even close to…
