Baseball radar is an essential tool for improving the skills of players on a team. A professional grade baseball radar gun can accurately read both batting and pitching speeds from a safe distance. These guns can be handheld or mounted on a tripod to measure the speeds of hits and pitches.
How to use Sports Radar
Players can analyze speed readings and decide what they need to change in their strategy in order to improve. Which radar gun you choose depends largely on what you are using it for. Current top-of-the-line radar guns can measure up to 700 miles per hour and as slow as 1 mile per hour, but they cost over a thousand dollars. Amateur teams and little leagues can benefit better from pocket radar devices that provide accurate enough readings to get the job done, but at a price that is much more affordable on a small budget.
Stalker Radar
Stalker Radar is the leader in sports radar measurement with an accuracy of +/- 0.1 MPH and the ability to read speeds between 5-700 MPH from up to 300 feet away. In a durable cast metal exterior, the Pro II Stalker radar gun is also waterproof to up to two feet in depth. Stalker radar can recall the last 10 pitches and display speeds in wholes or tenths.
Jugs Radar
The Jugs radar gun is one of the most best selling baseball radar guns in the industry. This gun has an accuracy index of give or take a 1/2 MPH, giving incredibly accurate readings for sports coaches and scouts. Jugs is slightly less expensive than Stalker radar, which can be a consideration when budgeting for supplies. Jugs measures in both MPH and KPH from 5 to 140 MPH/ 8-224 KPH. The radar gun can be used in either continuous or trigger mode depending on the need from up to 300 feet away. Jugs Radar can be hooked up to a data port on a laptop to store data or a display board to easily read speeds from a distance. The notable charactaristic that seperates Jugs radar from the rest is its FAST, LAST, and FAST/LAST functions. The “FAST” mode captures the reading at the release point and the “LAST” mode captures the reading at the plate. “FAST/LAST” does both.
Pocket Radar
Pocket Radar is the cheapest and most compact choice for radar speed measurement with an accuracy of +/- one mile per hour. Sports coaches, athletes and fans can use this sleek and user friendly device to measure speeds from 7 to 375 miles per hour. It can measure a baseball speed from up to 120 feet away.
