Glove Radar Description

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.

The Glove Radar™ is microprocessor controlled, like a mini-computer, and indicates calculated miles-per-hour ball speed on a liquid crystal display (LCD). Subsequent international models will display appropriate units of measure.
