I watched their Sunday game against Auburn that I think you are talking about. When I saw the radar speeds I was shaking my head. Fouts was clearly bringing it but there is no way she was throwing mid to high 70's. Kilfoyl was consistently clocked cruising in the low 70s and so was Auburn's...
I'd be more than willing to test that theory if the folks at pocket radar would kindly send me about 20 of their new devices that I would place vertically, one on top of the other, to see the real difference for each pitch :)
Jugs Softie gets my vote. This ball has raised seams and is about as close as you will get to a real softball. I paid a little more for these balls but they hold up extremely well.
I remember hearing of some issues people were having where the ball wouldn't register a reading if it was thrown from a shorter distance. I would assume that a distance of 43 feet is only necessary to get an approximate speed. Since everyone's drive is different, it's not extremely accurate. I...
@Quasimodo You are partially correct. For the other girl's ball that breaks in to right handed batters, yes it's close to a 2-8 bullet. With my DD, the rise spin is tight, near perfect 6-12. Not sure why that breaks right...but it sometimes does. Both are righties.
@625ender No...it's not a...
Would agree that if the screwball requires the opposite spin of a curve...then no one throws a screwball that has enough speed and spin to do anything. However, there are many discussion on this forum that talk about how balls break in different directions that oppose spin direction logic. My DD...
I've purchased the pitch tracker about two weeks ago and posted my results in "another tech ball to put on our Christmas list?" on this forum (Last post was Nov. 29). Ball quality is good and it seems perfectly balanced but you do need to charge it occasionally, unlike the Revfire. What I can...
Just recieved the ball today. Speeds seem to be + or - 3 MPH compared to my pocket radar. I was a little concerned at first as quite a few of my dd's warmup pitches didn't even register and gave an error message stating it couldn't read the pitch. If this happened, the ball won't register any...
I guess I should have read the fine print lol. No matter, if it can do what it says it will be worth it and maybe when some competition shows up the rates will be reduced.
The only features I'm interested in are spin and axis and these can be accessed without the need to pay a monthly fee. I ordered this a couple days ago. I really wanted the revfire but it looks like this can do more (spin axis) at the same price and it's available. Once I get mine I'll post my...
I find no difference in speed between a practice and a game with our pitchers getting their reps in. If anything, a couple of our girls might be a bit slower if they are throwing bp because they worry about hitting their own players. If you find your DD pitching slower in a game you might want...
Anyone know what the deal is with availability? Sold out within days and now out of stock for 2 months straight. I've been waiting for this product for years and missed it by hours.
