Tons of viewers reached out and asked if I could do a E6 Connect iPad Review using an iPad, but without a projector. I thought this was a great idea since many people will be starting out using the Flightscope Mevo Plus or other golf launch monitor hitting into a net or setup without a large screen. I took E6 Connect and used screen recording to demonstate exactly how it looked as I hit into a screen that did not show the E6 Connect hole I was playing.
The iPad clearly has lower graphic quality for E6 Connect on iOS but I felt like it did a good job overall and was easy to use this way. When I do any review I like to show capabilities and offer as much information I can so you can get your own opinion. Let me know what you think of this E6 Connect iPad Review and what you want to see next!

Pebble Beach Golf Links is a public golf course on the west coast of the United States, located in Pebble Beach, California.
Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful courses in the world,[1] it hugs the rugged coastline and has wide open views of Carmel Bay, opening to the Pacific Ocean on the south side of the Monterey Peninsula. In 2001, it became the first public course to be selected as the No. 1 Golf Course in America by Golf Digest.
Four of the courses in the coastal community of Pebble Beach, including Pebble Beach Golf Links, belong to the Pebble Beach Company, which also operates three hotels and a spa at the resort. The other courses are The Links at Spanish Bay, Spyglass Hill Golf Course, and Del Monte Golf Course.

Anyone else notice how the ball flight on the HD Golf Range matches the E6 Ball Flight almost EXACTLY from what I can tell! :-O
i use the ipad with the Skytrak and wifi. works amazing. this winter hope to get a retractable screen adn projector, but for now it's a netReturn. Love it though - use it every day for a month so far.
Yes, I agree. Works very well and easy to setup with wifi. Thanks for watching!
With damaging the dots, the ones on eBay are even better then the ones that come with it. They are thinner and work good and hold up and contour to the ball better if hitting into a net. Plus they are cheaper too!!!
Interesting. I generally stick to OEM. Thickness may be something that is needed to properly have the radar read movement of the dot. Not positive here but just proceed with caution. The OEM are not that pricey and they last a very long time. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video. I plan on using the Mevo+ while hitting into a net with the Mevo+ connected to the Ipad which is connected to an outdoor TV since we won't be playing a real course for a while. I was wondering what it would look like so thanks for the video.
Awesome. Glad it helped. Thanks for watching
Thanks Jay! This video helps me understand the system much better. When I get a mevo+ I will start with just an iPad, so love seeing you demonstrate it like this. If you were doing online play iPad to iPad, I assume you would need an active internet connection? Would the iPad use a dongle for an ethernet cable? Can it use wifi for the mevo+ and ethernet dongle for internet simultaneously?
Thanks for watching, I am glad it helped! Yes you would just do a lightning to Ethernet adapter for internet.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos is it possible to have a HDMI & Ethernet from Lightning port at the same time? I noticed a lot of HDMI adapters have a lightning passthrough, but I'm not sure if this is only for charging or whether you can plug in a lightning to ethernet cable too.
elliot_alderson I believe so. You just need a lighting to USB Hub or a lighting to USB that also has HDMI
not specific to this video however can one use the screen for movies as well - love the idea of the iPad and a practice net...
Rick Fueyo You sure can. My kids love throwing some bean bags in the sim and handing a massive 13’ wide x 8ft tall screen
Thanks for watching
Great review. Do you have a video where you are playing with ipad connected to projector? Trying to see the quality using ipad. Thanks again.
This is a very old video and it's using my old iPad Air. But it will at least give you an idea. th-cam.com/video/ChCjWh4D5eI/w-d-xo.html
Appreciate the video and the content! Do you know if the E6 software is/ever will be compatible with any of the Macbooks or iMacs versus just the mobile devices?
Ryan Fogelsong I have been talking to most Apple people about running parallels or Boot Camp which I think would be a solid solution as long as they have a good Mac.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos Thanks for the info! I'll take a look into that and give it a shot! Keep up the great work!
Another great video. Do you have the R motion? If so how does that compare to the more expensive launch monitors?
Ant Not yet. I plan on doing a review and comparison.
Nice again bud thanks for the range footage at the end
karlosmorales32 Thanks for watching!
I ran the E6 connect demo on my regular 2019 iPad. Ran just fine but graphics were definitely lacking compared to a gaming PC or laptop. The iPad just can't quite handle it graphically for obvious reasons.
Exactly. A great mobile solution for users but not the same as PC clearly. Thanks for watching
Do you know if you can play courses on the ipad with e6 and a qcquad launch monitor? Or are courses only available through a computer?
Hi there,great vids super info thank you for that..now my question..can you change it to measure meters instead of yards ?.,bye and take care now in these strange Covid times..
Yes there are metric and imperial settings.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos thanks for the prompt reply , shows you are a serious dude.. just watched your studio build ..awesome man awesome..
Maybe in my next life .. 😃
@@brianwallington9744 thanks for watching!
Have you seen or heard of any "Controllers" that can be used with an ipad to easily move aim left or right?
Going to purchase a Mevo+ and am interested in TGC2019 for the number of courses it has...
It does have a nice course library for sure. Shoot me an email and I can connect you for the Mevo+ and get you TGC 2019 pricing as well when you are ready. a98cr125@gmail.com
Love the videos, just received my Mevo+ yesterday. Question, can I buy premium courses with only having the free version that came with my Mevo+?
Yes premium courses can be purchased individually. You may want to consider looking at the $300 subscription that can be used on PC and provides 27 courses plus a rotating course for fresh content. I can assist if you want to email me at a98cr125@gmail.com
Another reason for me getting it was the practice at the driving range makes that way more fun too what iPad have you got for it to run off ?
karlosmorales32 I have the latest iPad Air in this video. Thanks for watching
What is the best projector to buy if I don’t want to spend the $1060 for the optoma? I guess I should ask what the best budget projector is? Thanks
I would check out eBay for a pre-owned 1080hdr. I snagged one for like $400 a few months ago. They pop up around $500 often.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos so with the mevo plus and e6 connect 4 players can play on a course head to head at one location just like real life right?
This video was very helpful. Thanks. I am ready to pull the trigger on a Mevo Plus. I currently have no iOS products but am interested in the 5 courses available on that platform. My plan was to purchase an iPad and a large monitor (maybe 32 - 40 inches) for display and then hit into a net. Do you think the graphics would be acceptable on the monitor?
Video of ipad looks very choppy....
Is this because of screen sharing over the Web?
Or is the picture really that choppy on the actual ipad?
paul garnham I think it has a lower FPS when screen recording but I will test without to see if it is the same. Smooth at times but a little choppy here and there from what I see in the video I agree. Thanks for watching
@@GolfSimulatorVideos I've seen other video share (not golf simulation) which looks choppy over the Web, but on the actual ipad it is smooth....
Great content !!! Made me buy 3 Mevos. Will use them inside and on the range for outside sim play :) Possible to use anyting else then an ipad ? Lets say an outdoor touchscreen monitor ? Just heard you say you could play sim on the range. What about putting then ? Kindest regards Martin Simensen PGA Pro ( what editing program are you using ?)
Martin Simensen Yes check out my other videos hooked up to PC etc. Many possibilities. Be sure to subscribe if you have not had a chance. Thanks for watching
Love the videos while we are all locked in. I just ordered a skytrak and want to get e6. Do you know the minimum iPad model this will run on? I am an Android guy and have no IOS devices.
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
iPad Requirements: iPad Pro 1 or later | iPad 5 or later | iPad Air 3 (Current Version) | iPad Mini 5 (Current Version) | iPhone 8 or later
@@GolfSimulatorVideos Awesome thanks! You guys should more videos online against friends. Those are entertaining. No live golf on TV so that's the next best thing!
@@GolfSimulatorVideos Hi, thanks for your videos,very hepfull .I want to buy a mevo + and use my regular iPad 8 Gen, will it run ok ? e6 and all the mevo features?
Question: If you move the red stake like you did in this video, does that change your target line in the case you can still hit into center of the net? (Considering people who do not have projectors) I hope this make sense. Thanks!
Thomas Riley correct. It’s an aiming stick you can move that and aim straight or leave it and manually aim with your swing. Thanks for watching!
Will using my new iPad Pro make a difference to graphics and visualizations??
It will improve the smoothness of graphics and the size you can project due to the resolution of the screen, but no the graphics themselves stay the same. Thanks for watching
I have a flightscope Xi tour. Just downloaded E6connect on my iPad Pro. Waiting for projection and screen. I wonder if the Xi tour shows the putting strokes??
Unfortunately no putting for Xi Tour
how do you purchase the premium course packages on e6 if you already have a subscription
Shoot me an email I can connect you. a98cr125@gmail.com
Great video. Love your work 😎
Thank you! Appreciate you watching!
Thx for the video's. I was planning on building myself a hitting net for winter practice, but discovering these simulators at fairly reasonable prices I'm really thinking about adding that to my plan. FS Mevo Plus looks like my first choice - I have space and I like not having the yearly subscription price that SkyTrak adds.
Couple of questions - the E6 software that comes with the Mevo - only iOS correct? The PC version is if you buy into the program? And No Android option for E6 (I see that FS skills and FS Golf have Anroid versions) - I have an iphone but no iPad.
Do you only have access to the Online options with the yearly subscription and the PC version? Ideally I'd like to play head to head with a friend who lives half way across the country. With E6 - do you have the option of a one time purchase? rather than the yearly fee?
Thx again for all the info. Researching it all online with a plan to build out in the near future.

I’m looking to get the basic subscription on iOS but when I go in the app all I see is “coming soon”. How do I buy this?
Contact TruGolf. You can email Melissa at: melissap@trugolf.com and feel free to tell her Jay from GSV sent you :)
I had the same problem. Contacted E6 support. Apparently you can buy on E6 Connect website, rather than on the iOS device (like it says to do on the E6 website)
@@ronb2126 I had to reach out to Melissa like Jay said above. She took care of it.
I'm going to start out without a projector and could absolutely live with those graphics. They are a big step down, but they should be imo, and are good enough for the device. Great content as always
Awesome. Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
I noticed it looks like you can add more guests. Is there any local multiplayer available for the Ipad version? Is that standard or do you need to pay the 300 for this option and does it work on the IPAD?
Jer W You can for sure play multiple people locally with the free course pack. Or Best price for the subscription using my discount at gunghogolf.com/store with promo code JAY - that will take 5% off the price.
I'm interested in buying the Pebble course, but website shows out of stock. Can I get this anywhere else?
GungHoGolf.com Discount code: JAY If for some reason it does not work, let me know I will get you connected with E6
Thanks for the video! If you put the IOS included e6 courses on big screen with a projector, is it possible to get hd quality - or is the downscaling of the graphics 'build in' from e6 (or flightscope)? I Mean if you get a higher quality IOS device is it possible to improve the projected quality, so it's comparable to the pc-version?
Your welcome. It is similar. I did a previous video showing it on my projector. Check it out in the channel. Thanks for watching
Downscaled graphics are for all iOS defies no matter what. It an E6 thing. PC is better.
great video it was really entertaining
Thanks for watching. Be sure to subscribe.
Is there a place to still buy the Pebble pack? I have the e6 Connect Expanded, but don't see where I can buy/add the Pebble pack.
Email melissap@trugolf.com just tell her Jay from Golf Simulator videos told you to email. She can hook you up 👍
Golf Simulator Videos thanks so much!!
Hello I have a Mevo+ but I have connection issues with the E6 connect. The FS software has no issues at all so I don't suspect a bad unit. I was wondering, since I also use an I-pad, if you had connection issues or do you have any tips for ease of connection. I did watch you video on the Mevo+ connected to TGC and had questions there as well. Again, I have no problems connecting to FS golf or FS skills just the E6.
Looking at the $300 option I seem to be finding different courses for PC than IPad. For $300 I am finding 15 courses on iPad, and 27 of PC. Is this right or am I seeing things wrong?
Could you use mirror feature to see iPad screen through projector ?
Yes I show this in a video in the channel, check it out :) Thanks for watching!
Hi, why do you need E6 if the mevo comes with courses? Is the E6 just the app that displays shots etc?
You can upgrade to the PC version as the included is iOS only. You can also subscribe to get more courses and have P2P online play.
I’m considering buying a mevo plus for a simulator in piecing together for my shop. It’s out a ways from my house so I do t have WiFi out there. Could I use my iPhone and play it through tv with hdmi cable through cellular data?
Thank you! Great video/ audio!
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching!
I just did a new video with iPad Pro as well compared to PC. th-cam.com/video/N_H8QMJlxLI/w-d-xo.html
Do you have to have an IPad with cellular services or are you ok with WiFi only on the IPad?
What is that little box shaped object between you and the ball?
Rough and sand. I don’t use them much. Thanks for watching
hi, what is the setting tilt and roll you have to putt? because mine even on 12° i can't get any goor reads… for a chip about 10y i always have to hit like 20 otherwise it is not read. and putting won't even work...
Does E6 have or plan on having tournaments set up like the societies in TGC?
David Stefanik So that is being worked on now. They do have events but not tournaments yet or structured head to head play. The E6 discord channel and @weekendgolfguy are working on it now
can you buy Pebble Beach on the free version of e6 connect that comes with Mevo Plus? If not, can you access Pebble Beach with an expired subscription after the 1st year?
Yes you can. It's a permanent license one time price.
Is there any way to zoom in when selecting your aim spot in e6. It looks like it would be difficult to pick a certain part of the green to avoid a slope or something...
Drew Lance I totally agree and this is an enhancement many of us have requested and they said they are looking into it. You can’t see the break on the green which makes it difficult. Sounds like this is an enhancement that will be coming based on the response. Thank you for watching and if you have not yet subscribed please do there will be a lot more content coming.
What type of projector are you using? Ans what is your aspect ratio
Adam Alday Sony VPL 60 with special short throw lens. It’s a little overboard but nice. 5000 lumens. 16:10 screen but I run 16:9 a lot.
Good video, I'm hoping to get a PRGR Black soon. A few other sites are out of stock. Please help. :-)
We sold a bunch when the video dropped. I just sent him a message to get an update. Thanks for watching!
What does your wife think of you neglecting her and spending all your time down in the golf simulator? Lol
Great question! She loves it!! We golf together often and we also do scrambles with the entire family. We also both have several hobbies and support each other in what we do, so really could not be better. Thanks for watching!
What iPad are you using
I think in this video I had that year iPad Air. It works well.
This would be cool if it can hook up a VR goggle
what version IPad are you using?
Hi Adam, the latest version iPad Air. Thanks for watching
Do you get any discounts on E6?
Call Melissa from e6 at 801-298-1997 She will get you the best deal available.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos Thank you.
Does anyone have any experience running the same software but on the new Pro iPad - are the graphics better or at least no jitter when the ball is in the air? Thanks,
This has been tested on the latest gen iPad pro. Same graphics.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos Not sure if that makes me happy or sad. Glad I don't need to spend a $1k on a pro, but bummed they couldn't make a mobile version that can take advantage of a better processor.
Brent Post I understand but it would require various apps which I think would just be too much development. This allows them to focus on the PC version but allows more people with entry-level devices to at least have an option. I strongly recommend the computer version it’s well worth it in the iPad is great for a mobile solution or start up.
Brent Post If you were looking to upgrade to the PC version let me know I can save you some money
@@GolfSimulatorVideos my mevo plus is showing up next week. I have an Iphone 10 but my ipad mini is version 2. If you were me what would you buy? Use my PC and pay the $300? by a new ipad air? let me know your thoughts. I will be using it inside my garage and on the range?
What generation iPad are you using?
I think in this video I had the 2020 iPad Air. I use a iPad Pro now.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos Thanks! I pre-ordered the 2023 mevo+ and bought a 9th generation iPad to run it on. I can deal with the lower quality graphics, but I am hoping it won't lag as much.
I noticed you selected 5-iron on that first shot but ended up hitting a 6, also hit a 6-iron on the last hole but the software showed 5-wood, and it seemed to read just fine. Is the step of entering that club just a tracking piece? Or is it needed for the Mevo+ to properly determine numbers? Thanks!
They only recommend selecting wedge, iron, or wood :) I even hit irons sometimes with 5 wood selected and it still reads them great. But do what suggested for best results. Thanks for watching
How do you purchase the pebble beach course? I have a skytrak with basic annual subscription. Thanks
You need to purchase it as a premium course through E6. Since you are SkyTrak you have to go directly through them for everything.
@@GolfSimulatorVideos It's not listed on the website. Only the basic and expanded subscription fees. I'll contact them to see if it is an option. Really enjoying e6 connect
