Does the radar need a gap to see through or does it just sits behind glove? Was planning on using it on a catchers mit with very few gaps.

Does not need "gap" in glove to pick up speed. I use it on a catchers mitt. When battery is low, readings may not read anything, probably because of weak signal and trouble going through glove.

Seems to work fine with small gaps between glove fingers. Mine is mostly hidden behind fingers.

You can use it with a catcher's glove or a regular glove. There are instructions on how to set up both. Gaps are not an issue.

I strongly doubt it. Since it depends on suction, it needs a smooth, non-porous surface and the detector only works when it can "see" the incoming radar/laser signals.

You look thru the back. It laminates glowing circles. Very quick way to locate items in the sky. I am able to use it to spot things much quicker than with spotting scope

It won't stop thin sharp objects from penetrating mesh. The glove is only for cut protection not for anything else. There are gloves with penetration protection as well as cut protection but this is not one of them. This glove is made of steel mesh in order to be flexible, the holes in the mesh are very small but not foolproof.

It's like going to a baseball game and sitting behind homeplate. You don't see the screen in front of you due to the distance. The closer it is the less it allows focus on the front sight!

It will show the range to the flag or to any point you put it on. I usually laser the green in front of the hole a few feet and expect my shot to release a few feet. I use this range finder and have been quite happy with it.

Any covering such as this will diminish your view of the screen somewhat, but I have used this cover and I didn't lose much visibility. I could still see the display just fine and I could operate all of the buttons as well. This cover is one of those things that you wish you had when you are 2 miles from your car and it starts to rain since the Ace series of metal detectors are not waterproof. I have used mine a few times and I am glad it had it with me.

I can't see the picture well. They come with a mount for your wind shield. This is all you need to buy. It works well for me. You will pick up a lot of k band noise but that is the price for knowing went your being scanned.

Police radars mainly use "k" & "ka" alerts. Other car radar detectors use most of the others, so I recommend checking those off the menu list as I did. In town shops with automatic doors will set of the police alerts, and if you pass them often enough, you'll recognize them. Highway driving with the police alert going off briefly with no police in front or behind might be a police car going in the other direction or hills/median concrete walls causing the signal to break up intermittently.

The unit is undetectable to older VG2 radar detector detectors. It probably IS detectable to the newer Spectre Stalker Elete radar detector detectors.

It does pick up any light that is out there but at night, without any light source, it is hard to see. Not a big deal IMO since you you should not shoot at something if you cant see it....the main thing is that it actually works at 100 yards and is fairly accurate. I was surprised.

Greg, I heard of the problem and the attempt fix. Inside there is a tail that is the antenna that may have too much plastic covering on it that needs taken back alittle off the bare wire to expose it to let the radio wave through. Check it out and see! You've got to take the black cover off to expose the black antenna covered with black plastic and attached on one end. Pull the loose end out and cut off some off the plastic and hang it out when you put the black cover back with the arrow towards the green props. Then screw in the 4 screws back with the antenna hanging out. Good luck! Jerry

For me it is not a bother where I have it position. It just me know it is working because my radar is in dark mode.

This is a very good question that comes up a lot. You should not try to use any radar gun that measures a pitch to measure bat swing speed. That said, it is a great tool for measuring the power of your hits by measuring Ball Exit Speed off the bat. While it is important to have good bat swing speed, this does not really tell you much since you also must deliver the energy from the bat at precisely the right time and point on the bat to get the power into the hit. For instance, you can swing a broom stick very fast, but you will not deliver much power on a ball with it. However, measuring Ball Exit Speed off the bat always gives you a direct measure of the power of a hit. If you use Ball Exit Speed in your hitting training you can see direct results of your training adding more power to your hits. For every extra 1 MPH you can increase your Ball Exit Speed off the bat, you will add about 5 feet of extra distance to a well hit ball. You can learn more about this at: www.PocketRadar.com/Hitting Any radar gun that is set up to give you an accurate measurement on a pitch will not give you an accurate and repeatable measurement on bat swing speed. This is because radar guns are set up to only measure things that move in a straight line. As they get off-angle from a straight line the speed reads lower. Since a bat swings through a wide arc of many different angles during a swing the radar gun will not give you a good reading of the fastest speed of the bat. The Pocket Radar classic model will measure Ball Exit Speed off the bat from a tee if the ball is in flight for at least 15 feet before hitting a net. If you want to measure Ball Exit Speed off the bat from live pitching or soft-toss, or from a tee into a net 5 feet away, check out the new "Ball Coach" radar model from Pocket Radar, also available on Amazon. Check out the video of it measuring Ball Exit Speeds on the Amazon product page.

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.

Don't think it will because if the detector is covered it can't see motion.

It screws into the radio, BUT there is a HUGE gap between the bottom of the antenna and the radio. Unacceptable.
