No, its real advantage is that there is a free companion app (currently only available for iPhones and iPads, although Android versions are coming so be patient) that greatly extends how you can use it for training. This one really ups the game (so to speak) because it’s no longer a stand-alone device to capture radar speeds, although it can also be used that way. Now Pocket Radar has come out with an even newer and better version of its flagship product – the Smart Coach Radar TM.
There were other advantages as well but that one sticks out. Rather than having to time the pitch, any dummy (even me) could just point the device, push and hold the button, and get a super accurate reading. The beauty of this product was it was much easier to use. Then came the next great upgrade – the Ball Coach Radar TM. Its form factor was also great for coaches and parents at tournaments who wanted to check out the competition surreptitiously because it looked more like a cell phone than a radar device. Its original model (previously called Pocket Radar as I recall but now called Classic) was the first reasonably priced radar that could fit in your pocket yet give you readings as accurate as a traditional radar gun costing 4X to 6X as much. The Pocket Radar company has made a great name for itself in the fastpitch softball (and baseball) worlds over the last few years.
