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

    Here are my trajectories :) Red is fastball / Yellow for (simili but still efeective) Raise-Curve / Blue for Change Up Yellow and green dots are for speed differencies (where the raise ball and changeup are when the Fast arrived) My fast is no more than 53 mph I guess that a faster pitcher might...

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

    Yeah, Anf I find average speed very interesting. And even more, milliseconds are the key. The time you give the batter to see the ball. We see that a big and long stride can affect the speed perception for the batter, since even if slower the ball travel less. The same idea makes me want to hide...

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

    Nice video thanks :) Yeah I know about radars giving speed out of the hand. The thing is that if I calculate on ONLY the fist 2 or 4 meters the margin of error goes high! The longer the segment is, the lower the margin. For 36 ft it is about 0.25 mile for an image (4 milliseconds).. I guess we...

    Hello Armwhip, Maybe 10 ft is a bit high in number (even on the first vid "K" position) but that is a question that I asked myself also. For thee Radar lower pointing in line with the ball is also something I'm wondering. Maybe the "boss" from Pocket Radar will clear this out? Anyway I'm going...

    Hello everybody, (sorry for my french English :) Since many years I clock myself using the 240 fps video of my iPhone. But now I'm going to get a POCKET RADAR to make it easier on me. Since IMO this is the best forum for Softball; from which I learned a lot, I came here (and there also, I admit)...

    Drive out with the hands and lower half together. Folkard does this well, but you'll notice he hitches at 3 o'clock until his back toe touches. This is the hitch Hillhouse talks about. It helps him maintain sequence Yeah this is so difficult to me! Cant figure out why. What are the high skeeps...

    Is this arm movement legal ?

    One last video ! I thinkI got it ! You will tell me ! The replant doesn't occur on Folkard and others because only their toe of the pivot foots touches ground.? The ones that replant would have more of the foot on the ground ? So in this vid' the ones that replant would be (in order andfrom more...

    Is this arm movement legal ?

    Yes that's how I see it also ! I can't figure out how I could push less than I do (I just resist to the forces) and I can't really see differences beetwin Folkard and what I do. But here I can : <div style="position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%"><iframe...

    Is this arm movement legal ?

    Yeah the rule says it so : "As the pitcher pushes from the pitcher's plate, all movement of the pitching arm must be continous" - Rule 6 sec 3 i of the Internationel rule book. I wanted everybody feelings on how she stops
