WHAT IS THE GLOVE RADAR®?
The
Glove Radar® is a small, inexpensive
microwave Doppler radar velocity sensor
which is attached to a baseball or
softball glove to measure the speed of
the ball just before it is caught.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE GLOVE
RADAR®?
It will assist in developing baseball
and softball players' throwing
capabilities by providing a measure of
velocity improvement which results from
using proper throwing techniques. The
Glove Radar® can aid any
player--infielders and outfielders, as
well as pitchers and catchers, throwing
from any distance. This miniature device
is worn on the glove of the receiver of
the ball during practice, training,
tossing and warm-up sessions. It not
only is a great training tool but
everyone has fun using it.
HOW DOES THE GLOVE RADAR® WORK?
The Glove Radar® is truly a microwave
Doppler radar, not an impact sensor; nor
is it a timer which depends upon a
precise throwing distance for accuracy.
Attached to the back of a ball glove, it
measures the speed of the approaching
ball a few feet before it is caught. It
"sees" through the ball glove,
which is essentially transparent to the
microwave energy, even though the
transmission level is extremely low.
Operating with power from a single-cell
three volt lithium battery, the Glove
Radar® transmission level is much less
than that of most conventional
"wireless" electronics control
and communications products, such as
cellular 'phones.
DON'T OTHER DEVICES MEASURE BALL
SPEED?
Radar "speed guns" used for
sports applications are excellent
devices but typically cost $400-$700 or
more, and are therefore not generally
affordable for individual players,
coaches and parents. They are also an
unaffordable luxury for most amateur
teams. However, at a retail price of
only $69.00, the Glove Radar® is an
inexpensive radar velocity sensor that
fills this void.
HOW ACCURATE IS THE GLOVE RADAR®?
The Glove Radar® typically measures
ball speed within plus or minus one mile
per hour of popular "radar speed
guns" adjacently located and
measuring velocity over a comparable
flight path. The most important
consideration in using any velocity
sensor is to be consistent in its use so
that comparative measurements are
relative to those preceding and
following.
