Can I measure my tennis serve speed without anybody's assistance? Do I have to keep the button always pressed to measure?

You need assistance. I keep the button pressed for short distance small object measuring like a tennis shot. For a large object like a car coming down the street one push is sufficient.

I have not used this for tennis but I would think it would work the same as baseball pitching. You press and release the button when the throwing arm is back. It then records the ball movement. From what I read it actually records multiple images and displays the fastest one. I have found it to be very easy to use and accurate.

No u need assistance and you press the button once at the release or point of impact

I would say no to a one person function. The reaction time of the pocket would be to short. The button is depressed during the delivery of a pitch, to soon and you get the arm speed and to late and you get the bat speed if swung on. If you have another person, you would have no problem.

The new Ball Coach radar from Pocket Radar is the same size and it does have a hands-free auto-trigger mode and a 25 deep recall memory so you can use it without any need for assistance. It is also available on Amazon. You can see it in action for tennis at this link: www.PocketRadar.com/Tennis

Eh at best it's just an estimate. I've hit my steps total sitting in my armchair watching TV before. You can change the sensitivity settings online, or you can wear it on your non-dominant hand to decrease sensitivity if it's a concern for you, but looking at the phone app and watching the steps register while I walked or just waved my arms standing still gives a good indication of what is going to register as a step and it does a decent enough job.

Yes, every time to push you can see how many laps you have done. It is a great simple manual counter with low functionality, if you need programs, automatic counting or more this is not for you but then you have to pay a lot more....it is good value.

no to swing speed. measures the ball speed and angle of the flight of the ball

You would have to hold down the main button whenever you wanted to track it... It won't continuously track it for you

It's always faster to measure than I am. But I'm using it to weight for postage. For a quick tap, I dont know and suspect you are looking at the wrong scale. It's meant for packages. Even if it read the quick tap and your software grabed only the max entry, not sure how accurate it would be. Do know that as you press on the scale, you can see the weight change on the PC. I'm using Shipworks. Hope that helps you out.

Maxim G., Yes you should be able to use this pocket radar on tennis serves of 120mph or greater. Keep in mind that this pocket radar can read speeds of up to 375mph. Just make sure you follow the recommended instructions for clocking tennis serves, and you should be fine. Thank you for your question of pocket radar, and good luck to you. Sincerely SPC

Yes you can but from what I can tell, you are unable to view your stats at the same time. You'd be much better off to just set your lap distance to 1 mile (the default), then enable auto-lap. The watch will beep at the end of every mile and you would know to switch to a run/walk.

Yes, you have to go where the mode button is. After pushing the mode button, just keep pushing until you get to the amount of minutes you have worked out. Basically, the seconds are included with your heart rate. I hope this helps out!

Yes Nana it can measure the speed of a volleyball crossing the net. Your best bet for measuring the speed of a volleyball is on the serve.

It will count strokes, but you would have to be coordinated enough to click the counter on each stroke. I would think concentrating on clicking the counter every few seconds might slow you down a bit. In my opinion, it's best used as a lap counter, but could very well be used to count strokes, as well.

I assume you mean the watch is announcing the time every hour without the button being pushed. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer other than to read the instructions very carefully. If you've lost the instructions, you're screwed to put it bluntly. The process for setting the watch up is complicated even with the instructions on hand. I've bought two of these watches for a blind friend. They would announce the correct time and date when the button was pressed but I couldn't get either of them to display the correct time.

Someone has to work it by pushing the button each time..It keeps ten readings at a time but does not have any info but the speed.

If you mean can you find out how far you hit your ball, then yes. You can set the GPS to "0" at any time and then walk to your ball. It will tell you the distance you traveled.

No. It is designed to measure ball speed and general estimate approximate distances bases on the ball speed. Really seems like a nice concept, I just think I got a dud is all.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: when you begin your work out, you hit a start/stop button. This starts a timer and begins keeping track of the various other things: calories, avg hr, etc. If you don't start the timer, you don't get those things tracked. It also has a lap button, to help with tracking pace, if you're a runner, swimmer or cyclist. I don't use that feature myself, so can't speak to it.

Press and hold (at the same time) + on the speed adjustment bar on the right, and the stop button (press '+' and 'stop'), and hold for 7-8 seconds. It should go immediately into "select workout".
