Just bought a couple zepps on eBay for $14 each. One to try out and the other to trade in for a blast motion. We'll see how it goes.

As part of the settlement with blast motion Zepp has agreed not to sell the sensors for baseball/softball beginning June 18. They say they're going to keep updating the app but I can't imagine they'll do a great job of it. That's why blast motion has the trade-in program. It's also why patents are a stupid idea, they'e never stimulated competition or innovation, they suppress both and hurt consumers.

Perhaps a stupid question, but I haven't had time to read the articles: Any chance the Blast files suit and wins against Garmin, or is the software different enough as to not violate copyright? I would think the natural progression after winning against Zepp would be to take on the deep pockets of Garmin.

I bought a Blast and a Diamond Kinetics to compare so that I could eventually outfit our entire team. Each had pros and cons but I ultimately decided on the DK. So I have a brand new Blast sensor (softball version) that I'll let go for $100. Just DM me to make arrangements.

If anyone is looking to try the blast connect I found an inexpensive way to get one. I saw A new blast motion-blast action replay on eBay that was for placing on skateboards and bought it unopened for $18. Spent $10 on the knob cap that holds the sensor.
