Matt Adams Sits Down with FlightScope CEO Henri Johnson at the 2026 PGA Show

At the 2026 PGA Show, Fairways of Life host Matt Adams joined FlightScope Founder and CEO Henri Johnson for an inside look at the technology shaping the future of golf performance. From consumer launch monitors and an AI-powered rangefinder to tour-trusted radar systems, one message came through clearly: when accuracy matters, FlightScope delivers.

Mevo Gen2: “Next-level technology… it’s data for everyone”

Key features:

• Fusion Tracking Power: Patented radar-camera combined accuracy

• Built for Performance: Features a built-in kickstand, USB-C fast charging, and 6-hour battery life

• Direct Measurement: 20 essential parameters, including spin and angle of attack – measured, not estimated

• Upgrade Potential: Add Pro Package (D-Plane Data) and Face Impact Location at any time

“Maybe we can start with the FlightScope Mevo Gen2,” Johnson said, setting the tone immediately. “It was an awesome success last year as a consumer product. It’s next-level technology in terms of what you get for the price – great value for money.”

Designed to bring elite-level data to everyday golfers, Mevo Gen2 combines portability with serious performance insight. “The battery lasts for six hours, but actually closer to nine hours on a full charge, and it uses USB-C,” Johnson explained. “You’ve got options for the entire D-Plane with Pro Package and Face Impact Location. It’s awesome; you can test it against anything else out there.”

Adams was visibly impressed. “That is incredible,” he said.

“It’s data for everyone,” Johnson continued. “It’s been so successful that we actually have a waitlist now. We’ve literally run out of materials.”

FlightScope Range Gen 2: “It’s brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.”

Key features:

• Modern and Minimalistic Installation: Effortless setup via Power-Over-Ethernet, PoE (single-cable power/network connection) and a reliable magnetic baseplate for easy repeatable setup

• Virtual Golf Included: FS Golf software and E6 Connect courses with zero annual fees

• Open Integration: Seamlessly sync with your preferred gaming, POS, and dispensing systems to customize your solution for total operational control

• Fusion Tracking Power: Patented radar-camera combined accuracy

Building on the success of Mevo Gen2, FlightScope introduced a purpose-built solution for commercial environments. “This is what we call the FlightScope Range Gen2,” Johnson said. “It’s built on the same hardware inside as the Mevo Gen2, but this is a very robust package for professional-grade installations.”

The design prioritizes reliability and simplicity. “You set it up and align it once,” Johnson explained. “You can take it off and click it back on, and it remains aligned so you never have to do it again.”

With Power-over-Ethernet delivering both power and communication through a single cable, Range Gen2 is designed for facilities that can’t afford downtime. “This is a tool for your business,” Henri said. “You don’t want it to go down, you install and leave it. It just keeps going.”

Adams summed it up succinctly: “It’s brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.”

i4 Rangefinder: “This is like having a caddie in your pocket”

Key features:

• AI Club Recommendations: Personalized suggestions based on your launch data and real-time weather

• Effective Playing Distance: Personalized distances for every club in your bag using your specific ball data, wind, and local environmental conditions

• Smart Gapping AI: Instantly generate a personalized club gapping report for your entire bag

• Premium Hardware: 1,000-yard range, magnetic cart mount, and 15,000-click USB-C rechargeable battery

The conversation then turned to the FlightScope i4 Rangefinder – a product born from real-world tour insight. Johnson recalled watching Bryson DeChambeau and Tiger Woods both come up short on a 200-yard par three. “Both of them used their ‘200-yard club,’ and it didn’t work,” he said. “They didn’t know what was going on.”

The missing factor was air density – and that realization changed everything. “That spawned the idea,” Johnson explained. “If Bryson and Tiger didn’t understand what was happening with the air density, we needed to bring this technology forward.”

The i4 delivers a personalized “Plays As” distance golfers can trust. “That builds confidence so you can swing freely without doubt,” Johnson said. “Doubt is a very bad thing.”

Adams didn’t hold back. “This is, in my opinion, absolutely revolutionary,” he said. “It is changing the game – this is like having a caddie in your pocket.”

X3C: “If you want the best, this is what you buy”

Key features:

• Aerospace Build: Hand-crafted with carbon fiber for unmatched stability and durability

• Fusion Tracking Power: Patented radar-camera combined accuracy

• Comprehensive Data Suite: 50+ full swing, chipping, and putting parameters with no subscriptions

• Easy and Accurate Setup: Auto leveling feet and flip kickstand to ensure a quick and accurate setup

The showcase concluded with FlightScope’s most advanced system, the X3C. “This is the pinnacle of our technology,” Johnson said. “It’s extremely accurate, it’s lighter, it feels great, and it’s very ergonomic.”

“If you want the best and you can afford it, this is what you buy,” he added. “I personally use this a lot.”

Johnson highlighted the depth of insight on offer. “This gives you everything regarding the D-Plane,” he explained, with the unit directly measuring over 50 club and ball parameters with unmatched precision. “If you want to know the truth, there it is.”

Wrapping up, Adams captured the spirit of the conversation. “You can get all the information you need from FlightScope to know your game.”
