is it designed to read the speed of baseballs thrown from a baseball mound

Yes, it will accurately read an object as small as a baseball. I use mine mostly at the race track but a good friend of mine is a high school baseball coach and uses the same Bushnell gun.

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

I bought this for my 13 year old grandson. He uses it to pitch to and to field grounders. He likes it but I can't say because I haven't seen him use it with a baseball. He throws football passes into it too.

I guess it would depend on your definition of "low". It is directional so you can tilt it up...might work. Seems to like speeds above 25mph. I use this for hockey so I have to tilt the unit down towards the ground. We're now using for baseball pitching. Seems like it's made for baseball and soccer. It was so inexpensive that even if it didn't work for hockey it was still a great deal. Good luck.

Yes. My next door neighbor, play's varsity baseball and he love's it could select speed and time drop to work on swing speed..I use it for my travel team and they enjoy it...

I think it gives an accurate reading on how far the ball flies ,, the readings with the driver estimate roll so not as acurate

No, it is read-only and code clearing. It will only tell you what your car's system thinks is it's speed.

Yes but you have to add 5 mph to be clocked speed. The radar gun is slow to pick up ball speed on the pitchers release

I think so, there wasn't an instruction book but we figured it out easily. You power it on with the button on the front and then it simply displays decibels as they occur. However, we were wanting to read the max noise level of a golf ball striking different surfaces so there is a button on the side that allows the device to catch and display either max/min readings. If you hit that button one time it goes to max and holds the loudest reading in order to copy it down. Hit it twice and it displays you are recording "minimum" and it will hold the lowest reading. If I were measuring snoring levels, I would simply turn it on and watch the display. But yes, I think it would serve well for this.

It will measure speed if you purchase the separate speed wheel (like a transducer with a paddle that measures speed.) I just use my handheld GPS to do the same thing.

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

No, it does not. The machine is not designed for an actual baseball. The balls that are used are similar to soft toss balls used in a batting that has dimples in it and lighter than an actual baseball.

not sure,i have got lower reading at ball games,batters moving their arms etc.Prob not made for lower stuff,why do you want to read pool balls?

Display is configurable and can show current pace or speed. How accurate the instantaneous pace/speed information is depends on the quality of the satellite link, so not as good in trees or blocked areas. Works well overall.

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.
1312854
Yes it does tell you your speed by gps. Its not a very good map on the gps like it doesnt show a very accurate lake map but it does show you bottom depth, water temp, and speed.

Yes you can. If you hit the start button, you will see the statistics of the pitcher and his pitch count. Also, there is an energy bar that can be displayed when choosing the pitch type

To know how fast it pitches, we would have to get it to throw at least somewhat accurately and we can't even get it to do that. It is all over the place. Useless. And do not try to throw actual baseballs it rips the covers off. Ruins each ball on first throw.
