Question 1

Is this the most accurate speed version of the Pocket Radar made? Wondering if the less expensive ones are less accurate than this one?

Accepted Answer

When you talk about accuracy, it is very important to consider what you are measuring. Since a baseball pitch slows down by 8 to 10 MPH in a fraction of a second it is important to make sure you use a radar gun that can get the maximum speed right out of the hand. The Smart Coach Radar and the Ball Coach Radar from Pocket Radar brand both use the same automatic ball tracking technology that give you the release speed of the ball with an accuracy of +/- 1 MPH. This is better accuracy than the large very expensive radar guns that are only accurate to +/- 3% of the readings. The Classic model of Pocket Radar is less expense because it does not have the ball tracking technology. It is designed to measure things that are in motion for several seconds or more. It is also accurate to +/- 1 MPH on vehicles but is not able to track a pitch and automatically find the top speed. So all of the products are accurate to +/- 1 MPH, however you need to buy the one that is designed to track the object you want to measure.

Question 2

Did you pass the electromagnetic waves safety test?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all of the Pocket Radar products go through a large set of electromagnetic tests. This technology is very low power and is very safe. Not only did it pass the test, but It is more than 1500 times lower than the certified exposure safety limits. This technology is based on patented new technology that uses a new low noise receiver that allows it to work on much lower power. In fact the Pocket Radar Smart Coach power output is over 1200 times lower than the large expense radar guns.  When used as directed the exposure to the radar electromagnetic waves from a Smart Coach Radar is much less than the electromagnetic exposure you get from holding a cell phone up to your ear or standing near the microwave oven in your home. If you ever have any questions about radar guns please give us a call. We are available toll-free at 888.381.2672 weekdays from 9 AM to 5 PM Pacific Time.   Thanks,

Question 4

Can this also measure swing speed of a bat?

Accepted Answer

The Smart Coach Radar is specifically designed to track a ball traveling in a straight line. It will give you the exit speed as it leaves the bat which is the only direct measure of the power of a hit. For every extra 1 MPH that you can add to your exit velocity you get 4 to 6 feet of extra carry distance on a line drive. It will not accurately measure swing speed of the bat. While swing speed is very important, it does not tell you what will happen on a hit because there are may other variables that have to come together perfectly to create power on the ball. For instance, you can get great bat speed on a very light bat but you will lose power on the ball if the bat is too light. You can think about this by imagining what would happen if you measure a broomstick, you can get great swing speed but it will never be able to put power on a ball. The exit velocity as it leaves the bat tells you the power of the hit. If you ever have any questions about radar measurements we are always happy to help.
