would this work for measuring the speed of a soccer ball?

Yes, we use it to measure the speed of lacrosse shots all the time. The lacrosse ball is significantly smaller.

Yes, but the gun needs to be placed parallel to the ball (oncoming or going away). It will not work with the gun perpendicular to the ball. If you notice in major league baseball, the gun is directly behind the catcher and it is measuring the speed from the mound to home plate.

Yes, I have used it on everything from a tennis ball to an automobile, but the object must be travleling directly towards or directly away from the gun.

No - it measures wire length (in feet or meters only) according to the gauge of the wire - copper or aluminumAccuracy is pretty good

Yes it will, easily and accurately. It measures anything up to 11 lbs. You can change the mode to read in pounds, ounces, grams, etc.

assume you are asking about baseball bat speed, not the speed of the bat critter. given that it can accurately measure speed of an automobile when the vehicle is smaller than a bat in its frame of reference, i.e. several hundred yards away, I would guess it could measure bat speed if you took the measurement commensurately closer. the guy who did a tennis racket should be a good guide.

No you would have to have a speed paddle on the transducer. Your unit will give you speed via the gps. It's a more accurate rating than the transducer would give

the speed should show in the gps window . dont know if they make a transducer with speed

I really am not sure, if what you want to measure is very low pressure than I think it would work. This unit measures in water column and is very sensitive.

May not work well. Meter needs a clear shot of the spinning part and all but the reflective tape needs to be practically black for contrast. I could not get a good reading on an electric fan shaft nor when I tried to put the reflective tape on a blade to measure RPM

Not trying to be glib, but actually both of the previous answers are correct. The really short answer is no, it won't, but that's really a qualified no. If you went to the trouble of acquiring, or more likely making, the appropriate probes for what you wanted to measure, then sure, this will display a waveform, but then you have to know how to interpret the waveforms, to know if what you measured is behaving correctly. In other words, you can probably make this work as an automotive scope, but by the time you're done, you'll have something cobbled together that ended up costing more and not working as well as just going out and buying an automotive scope. A purpose-built tool is ALWAYS better than a generic tool, easier to use for that purpose, and many times actually cheaper than cobbling something together.

Doubt it. I think the smallest object it could measure is a baseball but I could be wrong.

it measures with a reference to gravity, this does not work as a protractor. Wixey WR410 8-Inch Digital Protractor may be what you want in that case.

I am not sure. I would say it would work but would not be very accurate. The watch basically runs off of a GPS system. If you are doing short distances versus long it may not be able to account for the small twist and turns. It sounds like you need technology that coincides with a step counter. I'm not saying you shouldn't try it. I'm just saying it may not be as accurate as you would like.

YES. This unit can be used to read speed of just about anything that passes within its range.

Yes, it should work on a bike and tells you your pace, i.e. 4 minute miles, 5 minute miles, etc. Should be easy math!
782344
YES. Of course You need to have the right needle for the valve of the soccer ball, but it will work great.

Depending on the distance, it will be less accurate the farther away you get. It should give a decent approximation at that distance.

It might do it, however it may very well be a time consuming process...U may want to start with a meter to narrow it down before you use this.
