I agree. Some count the better pros at 4.5-frames ... which works out to 0.15-secs ... so a 9yo at 0.14-secs has it down to 4.2-frames ... which is fairly impressive .
Anybody know how the Blast motion sensor determines launch? Considering the above #, where frame count starts at launch, .14 seconds for an 9 YO seems
awfully low....
Something seems off with their "advanced algorithm" (quoted from the subheading of the video referenced in previous post ) for determining the start of the swing..I would probably just use their bat speed at impact metric for your comparisons as it is just raw data.Blast motion I believe works off of a three axis accelerometer. It is looking for the sudden acceleration from the contact with the ball as the trigger event to decide that a swing has occurred. It then looks back for what it believes is the start of the swing. What that acceleration threshold is for the start of the swing I haven't been able to find. They may disclose it if asked.
We were going to play a small town local tournament, but not enough 10u teams registered so the coach had to find another one. This was a larger open tournament in Houston that had a mix of A, B, and C teams. It definitely wasn't what she wanted for our first tournament. We also ended up with a bad draw. First team we faced in bracket play was better than us with a mix of ages, but we put up a bit of a fight. Our 2nd game had us facing what I was told was probably the 2nd best team in the tournament with a 4th season pitcher. Score was 14-0 in the top of the 2nd inning. Other coach had mercy on us and had his girls step off the bag and get called out to give us one final at bat before time expired.You went from rec-ball right to Travel A ball? Did I read that wrong?
At that young age that would mean (in my world) going from a 20 mph coach pitch to a 45 mph girl pitch. Everyone on my team would have serious timing issues with that.

"What is your basis for swinging a -10 instead of a -11? Is it better to swing an inch shorter bat that is an oz heavier rather than an inch longer bat that is 1 oz lighter?"
FFS, I am interested in your answer too.
