I have one, bought it last year. It is really touchy, if you dont squeeze it hard and grip it right it doesnt give a reading or it will give a false reading. The dd hates it and wont even use it. IMHO buy the gun instead, alot less headache and bushnell makes one thats not as expensive as the others. Mike
I inquired earlier on whether someone locally had a Revfire I could try and if I liked it I would buy one, but no response....Right now I don't want to spend that kind of money...Thanks

I can send you my old GloveRadar. I like them and am on my 2nd one. This one works, but a little plastic corner of it tore, where it attaches to the glove. You can still use it though. IM me with your address. Amy
TM, my DD's pitching coach has had a revfire for about a year and a half. He doesn't use it every class or anything, but his has had quite a bit of use obviously, and still works fine.
I think it really helps my DD work on her pitches, since you get immediate feedback on the spin counts. The speed reading is OK, but we don't worry about it a whole lot. There is usually a correlation between the spins and the speed of the pitch, anyway.
I have a question about the Revfire. Does it take into account the direction of the rotation?
In other words, if the ball has a spiral spin or "bullet spin" does it give the same readout as a ball with a top spin...assuming of course that both examples are spinning at the same rate of speed.
