5.0 out of 5 stars It works!, December 18, 2005

This review is from: 9" Speed Sensor Baseball (MPH) from Markwort (Misc.)

This is a great little device -- inexpensive (especially compared to a real radar system) and it works!

- You have to measure off the distance you're pitching from since it uses simple timing to calculate your speed. There are 8 or so preset distances to choose from.

- The pitch speed calculation was right in line with our experience at a real radar gun setup so it seems like it's pretty accurate.

- The repeatability is very good.

- One downside -- passed ball into the swimming pool fried the circuits, so beware that it's a bit fragile as an electronic device.

However, at this price point, it's hard to beat it.

Highly recommend!

Neat idea, throw a ball and instantly see how fast it was going when your buddy caught it. Works on about half the throws.

This review is from: 9" Speed Sensor Baseball (MPH) from Markwort (Misc.)

I bought this ball for my 9-year old son to practice his pitching. The ball went dead after 5 throws. The ball had scuff marks next to the digital readout area and apparently the impact caused the readout to malfunction. Very disappointing....
