The Glove Radar? is a small inexpensive Doppler radar velocity sensor which
attaches to a baseball or softball glove to measure the speed of the ball just
before it is caught. It is easily attached to, and removed from virtually any
ball glove.Clever design results in a small, versatile, low-cost device affordable
for youth and senior level teams and individual players.
The purpose of Glove Radar? is to assist in developing players' throwing capabilities
by providing a measure of velocity improvement which results from using proper
throwing techniques. By learning the proper way to condition, train, warm-up,
and throw, players can achieve their best accuracy and velocity performance,
while reducing the risks of injury to their arm and body.
The Glove Radar? can aid any player - infielders and outfielders, as well as
pitchers and catchers, throwing from any distance.
Professional and amateur players can use the Glove Radar? when warming-up.
Young ballplayers will benefit from velocity information when tossing or training,
and will have fun using it.
Worn by the receiver of the ball, or by multiple tossing partners in non-game
situations, the Glove Radar? responds to the approaching ball just before it
reaches the glove. Thus, unlike most "radar speed guns", a long range capability
is not required.
Powered by a single cell lithium battery, the Glove Radar? transmission level
is well below that of most "wireless" consumer products such as cellular and
portable telephones, for example. Transmission characteristics are well within
FCC requirements and prescribed safety levels.
