Did somebody say Grandpa Radar??I don't know how you would measure velocity without doing it out of the hand. To be accurate the radar must be in line with the path of the ball, which means in line with the hand. If you want to measure the speed at the plate you would have to trigger the gun at the exact moment the ball was crossing the plate, I'm sure there are machines that could do this but if it's hand operated timing it would be very difficult. And measuring velocity at the plate has complications. Bullet spin would be coming in a lot flatter than top spin, how do you account for this in the final measurement?
