Easy to use and very exact when used accordingly to the specification - The Pocket Radar coach is an excellent product. Easy to use and very exact when used accordingly to its specification. My son pitches for various 14U teams during the year and I use this radar device in many of his games to measure his cruising fastball velocity as well to calculate his change-up to fastball differential. For about $300 dollars, this small device does the same precise job as other expensive baseball radar devices in the market. If you don’t need to take velocity reading from far away distance in wide angles deviations from home plate, then this little device is for you. I have suggested to the company that builds this device to add Text to speech capability mode. This will allow me to get immediate feedback of his velocity when I catch him during our pitching practices. Once the pitchers are throwing around 70+ miles, it is very hard and dangerous to catch them while holding the radar in your throwing hand. Typically, during these type of practices, that is (just the two of us) , I used to place the radar in a tripod safely behind me and set it to “continuous” reading mode. It has a decent buffer size. After 20 pitches, I read the buffered velocities and reset it. Recently I have placed the Radar on top of the catchers helmet using some GoPro widgets... see attached figure... Review: Product works well - easy to use - This product works well behind the pitcher or catcher, or standing behind the screen in a normal sized ball park (aka not a major league distance to the backstop). It was really helpful for coaches to assess velocity quickly during tryouts, is helpful to understand when a pitcher is starting to lose velocity in a game, can be used to assess the opposing pitcher and give hitters an idea of what they are facing, and is really good at testing the difference between fastball and off speed (i.e. is your changeup, curve, slider at 5mph or 10 mph difference from fastball). I have never seen a scout using one of these at the ball park. For that I think you need something that projects better and picks up all angles. But I am not a scout...so it works great for our team. ## Features - Basic Stand-Alone Radar Gun, NOT Compatible with the Pocket Radar App - Newer model, Smart Coach Radar with App Compatibility, also available through desertcart - Specifically designed to measure the fastest speed of a ball in flight; Includes 2 year manufacturer’s warranty - Accurately finds the fastest speed of a ball or puck for baseball, softball, tennis, volleyball, lacrosse, hockey and cricket ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00ISCXPJA | | Best Sellers Rank | #21,559 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #28 in Baseball & Softball Batting Trainers | | Brand | Pocket Radar | | Brand Name | Pocket Radar | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 916 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 2 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00851766002063 | | Included Components | Radar, Wrist Strap, QSG | | Item Type Name | Speed Radar | | Item Weight | 4 ounces | | Manufacturer | Pocket Radar, Inc. | | Manufacturer Part Number | PR1000-BC | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | PR1000-BC | | Shape | Round | | Size | One Size | | Sport | Baseball, Softball, Tennis, Volleyball, Lacrosse, Hockey, Cricket | | Sport Type | Baseball, Softball, Tennis, Volleyball, Lacrosse, Hockey, Cricket | | UPC | 851766002063 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Please see manufacturer website | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Pocket Radar - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Plastic - **Size:** One Size - **Sport:** Baseball, Softball, Tennis, Volleyball, Lacrosse, Hockey, Cricket ## Images ![Ball Coach Radar - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719hBsle0eL.jpg) ![Ball Coach Radar - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41CA164mZqL.jpg) ![Ball Coach Radar - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-Q1UwZh9L.jpg) ![Ball Coach Radar - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aakjyqIhL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the difference between this radar gun and the pocket radar hand-held radar gun with a price of $199.99** A: Thank you for the question. This is a very important issue. There is a huge difference in the way these two radars make a speed measurement. The Ball Coach radar adds a lot more technology specifically designed to track a ball in flight and always gets the fastest speed of a ball or puck in motion. This allows you to consistently get the fastest ball speed right at the release point. The Ball Coach radar is also the only radar gun specifically designed to get the ball exit speed right off the bat, which is the only direct measure of the power of a hit. The problem is that any ball in flight slows down due to air resistance. For instance, a baseball pitch is only in the air for about 1/2 second and it slows down by 8 MPH from the pitcher to the catcher. A tennis ball will slow down by over 20 MPH from the racket to the bounce. The Pocket Radar Classic is not designed to track a ball in flight. It is a general-purpose radar that has 2 modes. When you TAP the button quickly, like the space-bar on a computer it takes an instantaneous speed measurement at one point, when you hold the button down it will make repeating measurements every 3/4 of a second. To use the Classic model for ball sports you need to be precise with when you TAP the button, otherwise it will not get the fastest speed right at the release point. For baseball or softball, you need to carefully time the triggering so that you TAP the button just as the pitcher is planting their front foot. You do NOT want to hold the red button down, as this will not get the right timing. Some people struggle with the timing to use this radar in baseball. The Ball Coach radar operates very differently, on that model all you do is hold the button down and it tracks the ball in flight over many measurements and automatically finds the fastest speed for you so that you do not have to time the triggering. For any ball sports or hockey, you will be much better off with the Ball Coach model. To measure vehicle speeds or runner speeds the Classic is the best choice.If you ever have any questions you can contact us toll-free at 888.381.2672 from 9 AM to 5 PM Pacific Time.Chris Stewart / President, Pocket Radar, Inc. **Q: I read on here the classic model is better for vehicles than the ball coach.why? continuous on and max speed functions seem beneficial to traffic also** A: Thanks for the question. This is a very important issue. The technology on the inside of these two different models of Pocket Radar products is designed very differently. A baseball is only in flight for about 1/2 second and slows down by about 8 MPH due to air resistance. A tennis ball slows down by over 20 MPH form the racket to the bounce. In sports you want to know the fastest speed, which is right at the release point. To do this, the Ball Coach radar makes continuous measurements at a rate of 50 times a second and is looking for an object that is slowing down. Once it identifies a ball or puck in flight it tracks the speed and goes back to the beginning of the sequence and displays the fastest speed right at the release point. This is why it is more accurate than other radar guns on ball speeds. This tracking method is great for balls but not for cars which behave very differently. The Classic model measures speeds very differently. It is designed for things that are in motion for several seconds or longer that could be speeding up or slowing down. When you TAP the red button you get an instantaneous speed reading right at that point, this is not the best for ball speeds because of the rapid slow down. When you hold the Red button down on the Classic model it displays a new speed measurement every 3/4 of a second. This allows you to record the acceleration of a runner over a 7.5 second period using the 10 deep recall memory. Since it only stores the last 10 readings and those will almost always be from the same vehicle, the Continuous-On function is not as useful on a vehicle. So we kept the cost down on the Classic model by not adding that feature. We have intentionally designed different models for different measurement applications to make the products very easy to use and more affordable than trying to have everything included in one model. The important thing is to make sure you buy the right model for the right measurement need.

Thanks,Chris Stewart / President, Pocket Radar, Inc. **Q: Will this clock bat speed or racquet head speed when not using a ball?** A: This is a good question. Radar guns that are designed to measure ball speeds will not work for measuring swing speeds on things like bats and racquets. This is because the radar is designed to measure things moving in a straight line that is in-line with the radar beam. Radar guns do not work off at an angle. Since a bat or racquet swings through a large arc of different angles you cannot get a consistent and accurate reading of swing speed. There are other devices available to measure swing speed, but they cannot measure ball exit speed. The speed of the ball as it leaves the bat or the racquet is the only direct measure of the power of a hit. The Ball Coach radar is specifically designed to measure the exit velocity right off the bat or racquet.If you have any specific questions feel free to contact us on our toll free number at 888.381.2672 or e-mail at info@PocketRadar.comChris Stewart, President / Pocket Radar, Inc. **Q: Is there a bluetooth model ideal for vehicles? I want to overlay vehicle speeds on ipad video. Thanks for help!!** A: Currently we do not have any models of Pocket Radar brand products that work for measuring speeds of vehicles and also have Bluetooth capabilities. Many people use our Classic model and simply hold the radar up in front of the iPad camera so you can see the radar in the frame with the vehicle. If you have any questions about any of our Pocket Radar brand products please give us a call on our toll-free support line at 888.381.2672 weekdays from 9 AM to 5 PM Pacific time.

It is a quick, accurate reading that allows coaches to see where their players' velocity is at. From that point, a coach can use the information different ways to help the athlete's growth as a player. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pocket Radar Ball Coach/Not Compatible with Pocket Radar App - CaseSack Portable Radar Case Compatible with Pocket Radar Smart Coach, Ball Coach/Pro-Level Speed Training Tool and Radar Gun, Classic Model/Speed Radar - Universal Mount for Sports Radars --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/7171905-ball-coach-radar](https://www.desertcart.at/products/7171905-ball-coach-radar) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
