Greetings. I've followed this forum for years but never posted. My daughter is a 12 yr old pitcher and the information on this site has been invaluable. Thank you all.
My daughter has never been known for her velocity, but she does locate the ball pretty well and has some nice movement on most of her pitches. I have been anxiously awaiting the release of the Revfire 2 and we got ours on Friday. After 2 days of constant rain we were able to take it out this afternoon and give it a try. I'd say it registered a reading about 95% of the time, so no issues with that. I feel the speed is a little off. I stepped off 40ft + 3 for the catcher but it still seemed to be a little fast. I would be surprised if my daughter broke 52 on any pitch and it was consistently clocking her at 54-55. But we didn't get the Revfire to measure velocity, it's all about the spin. As shaker1 mentioned in the other Revfire post, it would be great to see what kind of numbers people are getting, so here we go...
Age: 12
Fastball: 24.0 RPS - 54mph (I didn't have my pocket radar, but I'd bet it was closer to 51-52)
Dropball: 22.2 RPS - 55mph
Riseball: 22.5 RPS - 54 mph
Changeup: 14.0 RPS - 39 mph
Curveball: 21.3 RPS - 54 mph
Screwball: 23.3 RPS - 54 mph
Please post your numbers. Thanks.
