Disappointed January 11, 2007 k. brock 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I ordered this for my son for Christmas. He was very excited when he opened it. However, it doesn't work! We have tried everything, even new batteries. Don't waste your money!
It's a neat deal, but question its accuracy January 9, 2007 R. Gaebe 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
Don't know how accurate the speed really is. The pitcher and catcher need to be a specified distance apart, otherwise the reading will be inaccurate for sure. At times the reading will be identical between consecutive pitches that were thrown with different arm strength, making one question its validity or if it needs to be reset or something. On the positive side, it is a neat thing for a young kid who dreams of being a pitcher to challenge himself to throw hard and with control. (just let him believe the numbers are close to accurate and go on!)
