POCKET RADAR Football Long Snap Speed
SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
- Have the radar placed low, aimed very carefully. In our example, we are only using the universal mount. We are not using a tripod.
- The ball launch angle should travel in the radar beam. This can be done by carefully aiming the radar toward the ball release point.
- Ensure the ball travels a minimum of 5 yards. This allows the ball to be in flight long enough for the radar to find it moving in a straight line.
- Only count the speeds where the ball remains inside the radar beam.
IMPORTANT TIPS
- Radar guns focus radio waves down into a narrow beam, like a flashlight beam. Aim carefully down the beam to get good readings.
- Check for interference by holding down the radar main button and scanning the area when there are no balls in flight.
- Ensure your set-up is safe to prevent property damage or injury
CAUSES OF INACCURATE READINGS
- The radar is too high and not allowing the ball to travel down the radar beam.
- The radar is not aimed directly at the ball release point.
- The ball gets into the path of the radar beam after it has slowed down.
IMPORTANT TIPS
- A ball in flight slows down very rapidly due to air resistance. The radar beam must be aimed carefully to get the top speed.
- Radar guns focus radio waves down into a narrow beam, like a flashlight beam. Aim carefully down the beam to get good readings.
- Check for interference by holding down the radar main button and scanning the area when there are no balls in flight.
- Ensure your set-up is safe to prevent property damage or injury
