Just got one of these and I think it's a cool tool.
I have a question for those of you out there that also use this. Is it's performance compromised at all by using it on a catcher's mitt? It seems to be somewhat inconsistent. sometimes registering a faster pitch speed for a pitch that was not as fast as the previous pitch. I could see this happening on pitches that I have to reach for off the plate, but sometimes it is not registering at all for a pitch that comes straight in over the plate, into the glove. Sometimes it does't register at all for pitches that are not far off.
The first time I used it, I located it behind the fingers, but it was always pointing down (more or less) when I would catch. results were very erratic. not registering at all for some straighter, easy to track pitches.
Now I've located it just below the web so it is right behind the "L" formed by the Thumb and index finger and results are much better, but not as consistent as I would like.
any observations or recommendations for getting more consistent readings?
thanks!
