Can you measure bat speed with this device?

Yes it will measue speed - HOWEVER - I found two issues. 1) It measures approx 3 to 5 miles under speed and 2) It does not stay tight to the glove.

Yes, I believe you can. I have not actually done this, but have thought about that as well as swinging a golf club. I did try waving my hand quickly past the Glove Radar when first got it, and it registered a reading. If you try it, just need to make sure the bat does not hit the Glove Radar. Of course, I don't know how accurate it would be measuring actual speed. If you are thinking of using this as a reference reading to track improvement or differences between bat speed when varying bats or bat sizes, it might work.

Since the radar is fixed and the ball is the variable, I would say no, as the ball measurement is more consistently taken when the ball is more accurately fielded and thrown. I don't know how you duplicate that with a bat without damaging the device

Not; say 1000 watts bat only aut like 400 or less. and wend used with Blutooth it's more low

This was a gift for my husband. It was used mostly on a Florida beach. He didn't think that this was an adequate measure of his speed or distance. It was calibrated by what he thought his speed was. He also said that if he stopped along the way he got the same result as continuous walking. He no longer used this item.

Yes. My sister's SUV had a broken speedometer. The local service station's wanted $400.00 or more to fix it. This just plugs into the cigarette lighter and sits on your dashboard, where it projects the speed onto the windshield. The only problem I've really had is forgetting to bring it with me sometimes. Now I leave it in a plastic bag with the keys, so I never forget anymore. It is just for speed, but can show speed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour, if you wish.

Well, in practice it gives a display at speeds up to 34. How much time lag and how accurate it is relative to the changing bottom I don't know. I also don't know the sample rate. But yes, it'll give you a depth reading at speed.

It depends on what you are trying to meter. It is not effective on baseball pitching whatsoever but if you want to radar something you can have the gun on for several seconds like a car it seems to be accurate.

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. I kept trying to get a refund or new bat after mine broke after just three months of use. So many hoops to jump through. I was very unhappy with the whole thing.

Depends on what you mean. It would measure airflow speed at its sensor, in the direction the sensor it pointing. The impeller is quite sensitive and I would think might be adequate for air speeds relevant to HVAC, but please keep in mind I am not a HVAC professional. It would NOT of course measure airflow volume directly. I think one of the air speed readout settings is feet per second, if those are the units most relevant for HVAC in the US.

YES. This unit can be used to read speed of just about anything that passes within its range.
819247
No, it would not give you an accurate read. It is meant for running/walking.

Very good for pitching. That is all I use it for. Have tested it side by side with stalkers and it has always been the same or only 1 mph off
2094846
Yes, the speed can be adjusted manually, and it does measure the distance and time that has been walked.

If I understand your question you're asking if it will clock speed from a side angle while throwing to a catcher. If that's the question I would say no. If you're asking if throwing towards it as its intended but with a catcher catching in front of it, I've done this. It picks up provided nothing blocks the radar. But also the calculations are distance dependant so the unit still has to be set at the proper distance while the catcher would have to be closer to the pitcher and again not block the radar. But with no catcher, standing the proper distance away, pitching and hitting anywhere on the target area or back screen, it will give speed and call balls and strikes very accurately. Good product.

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.

According to the manual that came with it theres a section called Using the Odometer which records the time and distance traveled. I am a golfer so I have never tried that function!

Not really. To get true power measurements you need a power meter. But you can use a software package that estimates power based on cadence and wheel speed from this device, as well as calibration data for your indoor trainer. That's what I used it for. I use a software package called Trainer Road. Based on which indoor trainer you have, and the readings from the Wahoo, it estimates instantaneous power.
