I'm not one to write many online reviews, but after purchasing the Pocket Radar Ball Coach (PRBC), I was compelled to share my extreme satisfaction with this device!

I've tried the PRBC on various moving objects (as long as they're travelling over 25 MPH), and it works like a charm, even when referenced against my own car's speedometer.

However, my primary use is for tennis.  After using lower-end radar "guns," such as the SpeedTrac X, there's absolutely no comparison with the PRBC.  It simply NEVER misses a reading, and it is ACCURATE ... two of the most desirable attribute for a radar gun (or any other precision instrument)!  As a boon, the craftsmanship, the ease of use, as well as the constant-on mode with 25-deep memory recall is a dream!!

Here's an important note, though, which pertains to *all* radar guns.  The end-user must be careful about minimizing cosine error (an unavoidable physics phenomenon present when dealing with *any* Doppler radar gun).  If they do so, they can rest assured the readings they're getting are accurate!  The best way to think of this is treating the radar lens, located on the top, rear of the unit, as a barrel from a gun.  Whatever you're clocking, its trajectory must be PERFECTLY SQUARE to the radar lens.  So, in my tennis serve scenarios, if the PRBC is set up behind the net (facing the server), it must be angled not only towards the server in the horizontal axis, but also upwards in the vertical axis.  In other words, think of the tennis ball entering the aforementioned barrel of the gun in reverse, rather than exiting out of it.  Of course, if you're standing behind the server, the opposite holds true.  You would have to hold the PRBC above the head of the server (being in line with the ball's trajectory downward and directly towards the service court ... as if the bullet was exiting the barrel of the gun).

I liken this invention to the iPhone ... it has revolutionized the radar gun industry.  Radar guns haven't evolved much over decades.  They were always large, bulky, quite conspicuous, and difficult to use.  The Pocket Radar line-up changes all that, without sacrificing one bit of accuracy.  The only (and I mean ONLY) drawback is its range for balls.  It is a more-than-adequate 120 feet.  So, for practice purposes, it'll work just fine.  Of course, if you want to clock balls from the stadium seats, that won't work as well, as the unit's not really designed for that.

I don't know whether I can post YouTube links, but there's a great video comparing the PRBC in tennis action with two other more traditional (and much more expensive ... up to four times moreso) radar guns.  You can Google "Pocket Radar Ball Coach Tennis," and it'll come up.

Finally, in closing, the manufacturer of the PRBC really stands behind their products.  There's a 30-day satisfaction-guaranteed trial period, as well as a 2-year warranty.  If there are any questions, the PRESIDENT of the company will PERSONALLY address them (that's what happened to me, during my "research" phases for purchasing a new radar gun.  That's virtually unheard of, in today's electronically-detached business world!

I love this radar detector!! I had a  older beltronic model that was out dated but still worked,so I did my research on roadtest.com  and bought this shortly after!! I put it to a test two days later driving from atlanta,ga to destin,fl.  This detector picked off six hiding speed traps on the way down and eight on the way back!! Wow the detector has already paid for itself 5 times over!! Take the pop mode off to reduce false alams/leave on autoscan around town(info from roadtest.com)-this one is a keeper!!!!!!!!!!!!

Purchased based on seeing it work on the golf course.  Wasn't sure I would need the GPS feature, but when using it on a day with fog or sea smoke restricting visibility, the GPS feature gives you yardage to center of the green.  On clear days, the laser picks out the flag pole easily and provides precise yardage.  Easy to use and highly recommended.

This is a great little add-on device for fittings.  I use it extensively to help analyze golf swings in conjunction with a high speed video camera.  It gives accurate readings of the swing speed, and helps with shaft flex analyzing with the added tempo timer.  Great little product!

This is a great investment wish i could have bought it sooner. I got a speeding ticket on a 18 mile stretch of road I travel on every day what a pain to go the exact speed limit; after the costly ticket I looked for a radar detector and saw this one (Top of the line) for a good price and its simple and easy to understand just three code to look for x band, k band and ka band. Ka band is the pow-pow is near lol; reads up to a mile away from them. If you have problems choosing I would go with this one. stay safe and good luck out there.

You need to know how far your target is, plain and simple.

The Bushnell Yardage Pro Scout Laser does just that in a compact, water resistant, lightweight package. This has a matte dark green rubberized finish which is weather resistant.

The Yardage Pro Scout comes with a compact nylon case that can clip to the belt or clip from the bag. There is a lanyard to hang it off of your neck (I wouldn't advise it for golf but useful for hunting). A cleaning cloth for the lens is included.

Operation is simple. Push the top button quickly for measuring distances or hold it down to 'scan' the field. The front button toggles between yards and meters - and it toggles between standard and >150 yard measurements to avoid closer objects. The unit stays on for 6 seconds and acquisition of distances is relatively quick. Obviously, use is limited by the steadiness of your hand with farther, smaller objects.

With 6X magnification, you get more than enough range for common targets.  If you're looking for an economical way to improve your game or speed up play by spending less time in the hazards, then this is for you.

Its advantage over a GPS is that you can use it off of the course and you can even measure distances at the driving range instantly.  If you  want to browse the some of the GPS systems, here they are:

However, with rangefinders there are no monthly fees to pay (such as in a Golf GPS) and accurate to 1 yard.  You can look to other models but this one really does the job!

This unit has the best combination of features, price, ease of use and reputation of a leader in laser rangefinder technology.  Highly recommend.

These are great for short distance safety. I am able to be more accurate while allowing my players to swing as hard as they can. One of the best hitting tools I have had in a while.

The HoldPeak HP-866B is very easy to use. Hold it up with your hand (or mount on a tripod; there's a standard 1/4" tripod mount on the bottom), and the display offers wind speed, temperature and wind chill data. You switch among multiple metric (km/sec, m/sec and) and English (knots, mph)

I didn't have another sensor to validate the claimed accuracy, but the speeds it reports are consistent with what the National Weather Weather Service (and other weather reporting organizations) report near where I tested it.

Good sensor; select with confidence.

Picks up police radar within about 2 miles.  Good value for the money.

I bought this radar gun for an electric bike race we were doing climbing a gigantic and steep hill. The riders would come bouncing up the hill and i would point the gun at them for about 15 seconds while they rode past me and sped up the hill to register there top speed. The gun did an effective job. I even paired it with a large led screen so the riders could see their speed as they rode past. Fun gizmo.

My husband uses this to count laps as he walks around a track. It's low tech, but it works!

For the price, this rangefinder has done a wonderful job and has helped me save strokes.  It does not account for slope, but I play mainly on coastal, relatively flat courses, so I probably don't need that feature anyway.  I've had two gps watches before I got the TecTecTec, and both were helpful, but they both only gave measurements to the front, middle, and back edges of the green, so just don't have the accuracy of my new rangefinder.  Used it on 4 rounds thus far, and I'll never go back to a gps watch again.  The flag finder feature allows me to zero in on the flag, and the measurements are spot on.  Highly recommend!

In my opinion, a radar detector in which detects cops from a distant that gives you time to reduce your speed and save you a ticket is well worth buying no matter what the price. The whister-xtr130 is a cheap but yet a fine working device that does the job. I would recommend this device to people who usually don't speed but feels more comfortable knowing where a cop is located.

This radar detection system is by far one of the best i have ever used. The detection distance is unbeatable for a stand alone system, as well as it's amazing ability to avert false alarms. Recently hard wired one into a friend of mines car and we went for a test run. the red light detection is very on point even gives you distance warnings to red light cameras. Would strongly recommend this product to anybody looking to avoid cops getting in your way of a fast drive.

This radar detector seems to do just as good a job as the one that we bought that cost over $300. Highly recommend this one.

It is accurate when using a ball.  If swinging without ball then the speed on slow side as much as 30 percent.  Readings are consistent, which is the most important aspect.  Quality product.
