    Need some help

    The LSU Pitcher was crow hopping so that analysis makes sense. A few of the LSU pitchers do this.

    Fastest pitch you've seen in '21

    I watched their Sunday game against Auburn that I think you are talking about. When I saw the radar speeds I was shaking my head. Fouts was clearly bringing it but there is no way she was throwing mid to high 70's. Kilfoyl was consistently clocked cruising in the low 70s and so was Auburn's...

    Pocket Radar - My Ultimate tool for checking accurancy - Or how to use video to clock speed !

    I'd be more than willing to test that theory if the folks at pocket radar would kindly send me about 20 of their new devices that I would place vertically, one on top of the other, to see the real difference for each pitch :)

    Indoor ball recommendations

    Jugs Softie gets my vote. This ball has raised seams and is about as close as you will get to a real softball. I paid a little more for these balls but they hold up extremely well.

    Diamond Kinetic question.

    I remember hearing of some issues people were having where the ball wouldn't register a reading if it was thrown from a shorter distance. I would assume that a distance of 43 feet is only necessary to get an approximate speed. Since everyone's drive is different, it's not extremely accurate. I...

    Screwball

    @Quasimodo You are partially correct. For the other girl's ball that breaks in to right handed batters, yes it's close to a 2-8 bullet. With my DD, the rise spin is tight, near perfect 6-12. Not sure why that breaks right...but it sometimes does. Both are righties. @625ender No...it's not a...

    My mistake, I assumed U.S. school grade levels were based on birth year.

    Screwball

    Would agree that if the screwball requires the opposite spin of a curve...then no one throws a screwball that has enough speed and spin to do anything. However, there are many discussion on this forum that talk about how balls break in different directions that oppose spin direction logic. My DD...

    Confused about the ages and grades you are mentioning as well. If your daughter is a 6th grader , doesn't that make her an 09?

    Pitch Tracker from Diamond Kinetics

    I've purchased the pitch tracker about two weeks ago and posted my results in "another tech ball to put on our Christmas list?" on this forum (Last post was Nov. 29). Ball quality is good and it seems perfectly balanced but you do need to charge it occasionally, unlike the Revfire. What I can...

    another tech ball to put on our Christmas list ?

    Just recieved the ball today. Speeds seem to be + or - 3 MPH compared to my pocket radar. I was a little concerned at first as quite a few of my dd's warmup pitches didn't even register and gave an error message stating it couldn't read the pitch. If this happened, the ball won't register any...

    another tech ball to put on our Christmas list ?

    I guess I should have read the fine print lol. No matter, if it can do what it says it will be worth it and maybe when some competition shows up the rates will be reduced.

    another tech ball to put on our Christmas list ?

    The only features I'm interested in are spin and axis and these can be accessed without the need to pay a monthly fee. I ordered this a couple days ago. I really wanted the revfire but it looks like this can do more (spin axis) at the same price and it's available. Once I get mine I'll post my...

    Game vs practice speeds

    I find no difference in speed between a practice and a game with our pitchers getting their reps in. If anything, a couple of our girls might be a bit slower if they are throwing bp because they worry about hitting their own players. If you find your DD pitching slower in a game you might want...

    RevFire 2 is available...for real..no joke...like today..now.

    Anyone know what the deal is with availability? Sold out within days and now out of stock for 2 months straight. I've been waiting for this product for years and missed it by hours.
