| Verdict | Discontinued in favor of the Mevo Gen2 — "final quantities available" at $1,099 (was $2,299). Arguably the best radar value on the market while closeout stock lasts. | Current SkyTrak flagship — adds GOLFTEC speed training, dual USB-C, and a faster processor over the SkyTrak+, which most reviewers call not worth the extra $1,000. |
