SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
- Carefully aim the radar beam directly toward the ball release point. The ball must go directly toward the radar.
- Release the ball at least 15-20 feet (4-6 meters or 6 bat lengths) from the net. This allows the ball to be in flight long enough for the radar to find the ball moving in a straight line.
- Have the radar placed low and behind the net, aimed very carefully. In our example, we are only using the universal mount, we are not using a tripod.
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.
- Keep the radar behind the screen to prevent damage.
CAUSES OF INACCURATE READINGS
- The radar is too close and not held high enough to get the ball out of the bowler’s hand.
- The misalignment of the radar is causing the ball to arrive in the radar beam after it has left the bowler’s hand and slowed down significantly in speed.
- The ball is not in flight long enough for the radar to find the ball moving in a straight line.
- The body of the bowler can block the view of the ball from the radar.
IMPORTANT TIPS
- The radar needs to track the ball in flight long enough to locate the ball prior to it hitting the ground.
- 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.
