Online now: 1 member: scottflodin; 4 anonymousDiscussion: Exit Velocity/Bat Speed
| Posted | Discussion |
| March 4 STL0 Men's 60 231 posts | What are your recommendations for devices that measure bat speed or exit velocity of a softball when hitting? There are a lot of discussions about bat speed vs what type of bat you should use. I would like to find out what my bat speed actually is and I know others would like to do the same. Seems like it would be a useful tool to tweak your swing with as well. Thanks in advance for any recommendations you have. |

I found it useful for off season bat speed drills and also found it useful in evaluating optimal bat weight relative to bat speed. https://www.hittingworld.com/Swing-Speed-Radar-p/ssi-ssr.htm |
| March 5 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | I've had the Swing-speed radar. It was good to measure swing speed but not ball exit speed. ( maybe I didn't set it up properly :) ) I now have a pocket radar. I find much better. I hear they now have a later version that works with your cell phone. Maybe someone can expand on this. |
| March 6 STL0 Men's 60 231 posts | Thanks EV and Bruce for the comments. It would be great if there was a device that could both show bat speed and ball exit velocity. Not sure that exists. Bruce. Seems like there are a lot of different versions of the Pocket Radar. What model are you using? I'm assuming that it measures your exit velocity of the softball. Is that correct? |
| March 7 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | It's been a couple of years since I have used it. I seem to remember having trouble differentiating between the two. Sorry |
