    Pocket radar ball/smart coach radar

    Jeffrey, I wanted to mention that there is a speed range setting in the App that will allow you to eliminate picking up some of these speeds such as the throws from the catcher back to the pitcher. Of course if the exit speed off the bat is similar to the incoming pitch speeds this will not...

    Pocket radar ball/smart coach radar

    If you ever have any questions about the way the Smart Coach Radar and the App work, we are always happy to help. We can also answer any questions you have about the differences between the different radar guns out there. The Bushnell gun is less expense and can be a fine choice if you...

    Pocket Radar Battery Life

    Glad to hear that you like the features of the new Smart Coach Radar. Using the USB power port allows you to run the radar for several hours using an external USB power source like a rechargeable power pack. Keep in mind that this port does not "charge" the internal batteries in the radar...

    Pocket Radar Cell Towers

    You are right that this would be the explanation for a 56 at 8U. You should always test for interference by holding down the radar button when there is no ball in flight to see if you get any so-called "ghost readings" from an interference source. The 7 MPH readings are a very different...

    Pocket Radar Cell Towers

    Brian, Yes, cell phone towers emit radio waves that can interfere with the radio waves from any radar gun. Unfortunately, it seems like more and more of these are popping up on ball fields. Anytime you get ready to make a measurement with a radar you should scan the environment by holding down...

    Pocket Radar Battery Life

    I wanted to help explain about the battery life questions. The "Con" mode does burn through the batteries much faster than the Manual mode. With a high quality set of Duracell or Energizer Alkaline batteries in a Ball Coach Radar you should get over 2000 readings when you use the manual button...

    Pocket Radar and Cell phone Towers

    Brian, Thanks for the reply. Yes, since radio waves bounce off other objects, if the cell phone tower is very close it can be a problem from any direction. We will keep looking into ways to solve the issue. Thanks, Chris

    That one looks very similar to others that we tested. It should run a Smart Coach Radar for over 40 hours straight without any problem. You do have to turn on the switch on the side to get it to work. We sell a right angle USB cable on our web-site that allows you to have the battery pack 6 feet...

    Talk me out of a pocket radar!

    Chris, Thanks for the message. We have tested many different USB Power Packs we bought on Amazon and they all worked just fine. The small round ones usually go around 5 hours straight when using the Constant-on mode and the large ones went for over 40 hours. If you ever need any help please...

    Ken, Yes, you are correct. Actually you can trade in a Classic or a Ball Coach for a $100 refund if you buy a Smart Coach Radar from our web-site at www.PocketRadar.com Let me know if anyone has any other questions. Thanks, Chris Stewart / President, Pocket Radar Inc.

    Just one more thought for you. One of the best uses of a Pocket Radar is to measure ball exit speed for hitting. If you are going to invest in a new bat you want to be sure that it is the right size and weight for her to be able to get the most power on the ball. The speed of the ball as it...
