While Laser Ball sounds like a painful cross between Laser tag and Paintball, it truly
is an interesting product. Contrary to its name, The Laser
Ball Speed Radar does not use a laser to determine pitching
speed. Instead, it uses their patented Hand Sensing Technology to
determine when the ball was thrown, when it is caught, and calculates
the speed comparing the time from pitch to catch with the distance
thrown. The Laser Ball Speed Radar comes with preset distances of 20',
30', 40', 46', 50', 60 1/2', 70' and 80', which you select before the
pitch. Just set the ball to standby, pitch it, and read the speed after
it is caught. Just do not throw it against a hard wall or hit it with a
bat. The Laser Ball Speed Radar is meant only for the gentler handling
of a pitch and being caught in a glove. Also available as a Yellow
Softball Speed Radar If you are a coach, or you're in
training, you might want to check this product out.
