Bat Sensor

Posted by Parent on November 18, 2024, 8:13 am

Does anyone use a bat sensor regularly in your daughter's practice? If so, are there any drills or metrics you've found helpful?

We used the Blast sensor in the offseason for measuring matrix. In fact, I have one available for $50 if interested, all you need to do is add the $7 per month subscription.

The bat sensors are not great. They are easy to manipulate and aren't incredibly accurate.

I didn't hear JT mention Blast Motion once. I will give you that Blast is better than nothing, but it's also very easy to manipulate. The better technology reads the ball flight and gives you the data from the ball flight.

If you watched it without trying to make it fit your narrative, you'd see the question he's answering: "How does Blast ..."

The two metrics JT mentioned are Exit Velocity and Launch Angle. Please tell me how he gets this from Blast Motion. If you didn't realize that Blast Motion is an inferior hitting measurement device, then I apologize for breaking the news to you. There are plenty of technology out there that accurately measure the exit velocity, launch angle, and distance accurately.

By the way, I don't have a narrative. I was just answering the OP's question about Blast Motion.

We have Blast. My daughter loves it, she uses it at home and turns it into game of sorts, trying to beat her metrics each time. College coaches have liked seeing her videos with the metrics on them too.
