A heavier bat, swung at the same speed as a lighter bat, will hit the ball harder and farther.A heavy bat will provide more momentum to drive through the ball.A light bat can be swung faster, and with more control to make ball contact, facilitating the short, compact swing better than a heavy bat.A short, compact swing allows the most time to react to the pitch.TIPS FOR USING THE SPEED SWING RADAR FOR BAT SELECTION However, a batter doesn’t intentionally hit the ball with the bat tip-so measure bat barrel velocity with the Swing Speed Radar. Thus a 60 mph average barrel velocity will correspond to a bat tip speed of about 70 mph. Therefore bat barrel velocity is more relevant to ball exit velocity, and ball flight distance, than bat tip speed, which will be about 15%-20% faster than the “sweet-spot” velocity. When determining the energy imparted to the ball, the maximum exit velocity results from the ball being struck at or near the “sweet spot” of the bat, which can be about 4” to 6” from the bat tip. Whether the Swing Speed Radar™ is located rearward or forward, it will measure the speed of the bat barrel in the hitting zone.
To accomplish this positioning, the Swing Speed Radar can be mounted on a tripod, or hung on a net or fence by using the two snaphooks. In this location, the batter is swinging away from the radar. The radar must be sufficiently rearward, where a catcher would ordinarily be positioned, to prevent it from being struck with the bat. The radar should be about six feet behind the tee, facing the ball on the tee and at the height of the ball.
If the batter is swinging at a ball on a tee, the Swing Speed Radar must be located behind the batter to prevent the batted ball from striking the radar and/or erroneous reading caused by the unpredictable ball flight from the tee. This is an ideal location for bat swing training. The batter is now swinging toward the radar as though it were the ball coming from the pitcher. The radar can be mounted on a tripod or hung on a net or fence, using the two snaphooks provided. If the batter is swinging “in air” without a ball, the Swing Speed Radar can be located forward about six feet in front of the hitting zone, at the height of the bat swing through the hitting zone. The most important consideration in using the Swing Speed Radar is to position it in the plane of the swing as the bat enters the hitting zone, similarly to positioning a ball at the desired height and location on a tee. To measure bat speed “out front”, in the hitting zone where batters are taught to hit the ball, the Swing Speed Radar can be positioned in front of the batter, or behind the batter. National FPSB Team, and by prominent baseball coaches such as Jim Lefebvre, ex-Major League player, manager and hitting instructor, at his baseball school in Scottsdale, AZ. Used by Mike Candrea, Coach of the Arizona U 2006 NCAA FastPitch Champions and the U.S.A. The Swing Speed Radar measures the barrel of the bat, not the tip, "out front" in the hitting zone.
Coaches enjoy the immediate feedback provided by the radar to reinforce instructions to "hit the ball out front". Comes with instructions, carrying bag, fence clipsīaseball and softball players train with it to also improve their distance without sacrificing bat control and contact consistency.Calculates clubhead or bat barrel speeds from 30-200 mph.Large, easy-to-read liquid crystal display.Runs on 3 AA batteries, sets up in seconds.Rugged, compact design makes it convenient to carry and use in the batting cage, on the practice field, or in your backyard. For baseball and softball, it measures the barrel of the bat, not the tip, out front in the hitting zone. It assists players in optimizing their swing by providing a convenient measure of their swing velocity as they strive to improve their performance. The Swing Speed Radar is a small, inexpensive microwave Doppler radar velocity sensor that measures the swing speed of golfers and baseball/softball players.
