Baseball Radar Gun - Baseball Speed Training Equipment | Accurate Speed Sensors with LED+LCD Dual Display, Handheld or Hand Free Speed Radar Gun for All Baseball Players with Tripod

works good for the price. beside my house it works great. Out at practice and in the sun its kind of wonky. Worth the money.

If you're considering buying this radar, I wouldn't recommend it for people who throw over 80 mph. It's unreliable in those cases. I purchased it, and as a pitcher with an average speed of 88 mph, I noticed it’s not consistent. Sometimes it gives incorrect readings, like 98 mph, which is not accurate because I tested it alongside other, more reliable radars.

Largely inaccurate after a hand full of pitches. It works much better on larger objects like cars. Sad it was billed for baseball.

My grandchildren love to see their bat speed and pitch speed!

Extremely Accurate

This product is a great training tool. If you have a pitcher in the house or are a coach, this product can provide you valuable measurement data. The tripod that attaches to the speed sensor is at the perfect height for pitching. It really sits in the strike zone for most batters. The product appears to be accurate. The product has a nice large display that can be flipped out so the pitcher can reader their speed with each pitch. This provide instant feedback and somewhat of a challenge to throw harder. For this product to work well, it needs to be pretty close to the action. Basically, right in the other side of the batters box. This doesn't make a great tool to take to the softball games to measure other pitchers speeds. It kind of large and bulky. The product takes 6 AA batteries, and the design was relatively poor. If the sensor is held upright, the batteries will just spill out. They do not fit snug onto the connectors. You must lay this product flat to get the batteries to stay in. Then you can put the cover on. In the realm of speed testing, there really isn't a product under $300. I am actually pretty excited about this product cosidering its much lower price. Its a good tool to have without breaking the bank. If you need casual speed measurements for training, I highly recommend giving this product a try.

This is a great purchase for recreational league players or young players, used as a relativity tool to compare one pitcher to another. It is accurate enough for our boys, who throw 50-60 mph. You can simulate comparable speeds in batting practice, based on your boys’ registered data, and you can generate apple-to-apple comparisons amongst your teammates of who is throwing faster. It has a wide/narrow setting that helps, depending on your angle, which is especially helpful if you don’t have the straight-line umpire viewpoint. It comes with a tripod you can set up near the pitcher’s arm, but I prefer the umpire/catcher view. The physics of the Doppler effect would suggest, in my opinion, that it has a higher likelihood of being accurate if it is being approached head-on by a baseball, rather than measuring bat speed that is moving through an arc, but this is just my physics-based opinion. Is it completely accurate? This is the big question. I can’t tell the difference between 52 and 55 mph, nor can most observers. I will say it does represent a faster speed for the boy who throws faster, every time it displays an alleged velocity. For our team and usage needs, this was exactly what we needed, and the boys enjoyed using it. If you are a professional high-school pitching coach, then you may want to look at other high-dollar options.

I can't get it to work
