Thread starter Thread starter santafe Start date Start date Sep 13, 2019 Welcome to Discuss Fastpitch Your FREE Account is waiting to the Best Softball Community on the Web. #21 Joined Sep 10, 2019 Messages 59 Points 8 I use the tried and true Shinpads Radar and Pain Management System. When it came time for me to buy a set, I knew she was getting up there is speed. ? Good one! I like the interactive quality. At that point, I‘m looking for a free cup included with the system. #22 Joined Jul 14, 2018 Messages 980 Points 93 The RevFire measures spin rate in addition to speed, but it relies on travel time to calculate speed -- i.e. how long it takes from release to stop over 43 feet. I've measured it against the Pocket Radar Ball Coach and the speed is pretty consistent. The RevFire spin rate is good too, it compared well with the Diamond Kinetics but requires no subscription and syncs easily with a cell phone. #23 Joined Sep 10, 2019 Messages 59 Points 8 The RevFire measures spin rate in addition to speed, but it relies on travel time to calculate speed -- i.e. how long it takes from release to stop over 43 feet.

83 What does spin rate on a Diamond Kinetic ball mean- something like 1450. I think a Revfire is 20 or something like like. A friend just bought DK and is giving me numbers but they don't add up to me. #28 Joined Jul 1, 2019 Messages 171 Points 43 What does spin rate on a Diamond Kinetic ball mean- something like 1450.

Revfire is reporting in revolutions per second, DK is reporting revolutions per minute. #29 Everyone is so concerned about speed. Good mechanics. spin and change of speed is way more important to me .I see alot of Advanced pitchers with great movement being way more effective than a girl that can just through hard. Even the best hitting coaches can teach you to hit a good movement pitch or a well disquised change up.

#8 Joined Dec 4, 2014 Messages 892 Points 18 Location On a bucket This is a thread for the RevFire 2, a device that measures spin. We were playing around with different pitches. If she was going to a tryout or college camp, she'd probably throw a fastball/curveball/changeup. We're well aware that she won't be throwing 6 pitches in college. But I'll be sure to let her know that sluggers said she wasn't Cat Osterman. Thanks for the numbers, hopefully others will post theirs. As you guys work on things, post again. Interesting stuff. #9 Joined Sep 23, 2018 Messages 6 Points 1 Thanks for the numbers, hopefully others will post theirs. As you guys work on things, post again. Interesting stuff. We'll see. I did sit her down tonight and let her know that the internet said she wasn't Cat Osterman. I was prepared for the total shock and devastation that would surely come as I broke the news to her. Imagine my surprise when she replied, "Ok....Who's Cat Osterman again?" Kids these days. What are you going to do?? #10 I actually did some beta testing on the new RevFire 2 ball for Dave. I did comparison to an original RevFire relative to both spin and speed. The spins appeared to be very similar between old and new. I assume that their spin rate is reasonably accurate since they align fairly closely with the Rapsodo device. I compared the RevFire 2 speeds to my Stalker Radar set up......and I did have a very accurate 43 foot rubber to home plate distance. The RevFire 2 was within 1--1.5 mph of the Stalker Radar. However, I will throw this out.....the RevFire 2 (or original RevFire) are very dependent on distance for their speed accuracy. A catcher who sets up deeper or shorter will affect the speed reading......a catcher who reaches forward or lets the ball travel deep will affect the speed reading.What I've always felt is that relative to using the RevFire for speed....it is pretty good at showing the difference in speed for example between a fastball and a change up.....for this it is good.Contrary to some other info I had read.....the RevFire 2 is not dependent on the distance to determine accurate spin rates.The new RevFire 2 will not measure self spins like the original one did.....it does require a certain minimum distance thrown for it to measure spin rate.Overall this is a must have product....especially for the price.Now RevFire just needs to get that chip installed that also reads spin axis........that will put several companies out of business.

Has anyone used it. Pros-Cons??? Feb 7, 2012 #2 Joined Jul 6, 2011 Messages 10 Points 0 Any Thoughts on the Rev Fire training aid. Has anyone used it. Pros-Cons??? I love the Revfire. I use it frequently in lessons and I know a couple of coaches who use it with every lesson. The speed accuracy isn’t bad and for some pitchers it really helps them understand spin. As far as speed a good gun is better. Sometimes it will be way off and other times it's right on. Many of my students have increased their spin rates on the first lesson and I feel a big part of it is because of the Revfire. It is something tangible. They can see the spin rates and it helps them make the connection. Feb 7, 2012 #3 Joined Oct 22, 2009 Messages 1,779 Points 0 missjeff, I actually just recently received mine and tried it out for the first time last night.The kids were excited to actually know their spin rate, They kept saying, "Is that good!?".I really think it will help them tremendously to understand how much emphases they need to put on the spin.

So when will it be out, (entrepreneur) Rick? #12 Joined May 22, 2014 Messages 20 Points 3 Location Indiana DD got to use the Rapsodo at a college camp a couple weeks ago and it is crazy cool. Didn't see DD's specific readings, but had our PC reach out to see if we could get the data from her throws. They had the app set up on an ipad and it measured speed, spin rate, spin axis, and break in both directions. The spin measured is about the actual spin access. What I thought was cool was that you tell it ahead of time what kind of pitch you're throwing and then it calculates a "spin efficiency" in % terms, based on the axis of your spin vs. ideal. Presumably if you tell it riseball, 100% is pure 6-12. I found it interesting to hear the college PC talk about his pitchers' riseball spin axes. He said that his best riseball pitcher was only around 60-65% efficiency. Went to their website and they have a video of Mike White using one and hitting around 95% efficiency. Now if I can only find a way to rationalize the $3K price tag as a good investment. Similar threads Home Forums Softball Skills and Training Softball Pitching

Revfire2 stats Thread starter Thread starter sbpitcher19 Start date Start date Sep 23, 2018 Welcome to Discuss Fastpitch Your FREE Account is waiting to the Best Softball Community on the Web. #1 Joined Sep 23, 2018 Messages 6 Points 1 Greetings. I've followed this forum for years but never posted. My daughter is a 12 yr old pitcher and the information on this site has been invaluable. Thank you all.My daughter has never been known for her velocity, but she does locate the ball pretty well and has some nice movement on most of her pitches. I have been anxiously awaiting the release of the Revfire 2 and we got ours on Friday. After 2 days of constant rain we were able to take it out this afternoon and give it a try. I'd say it registered a reading about 95% of the time, so no issues with that. I feel the speed is a little off. I stepped off 40ft + 3 for the catcher but it still seemed to be a little fast. I would be surprised if my daughter broke 52 on any pitch and it was consistently clocking her at 54-55. But we didn't get the Revfire to measure velocity, it's all about the spin. As shaker1 mentioned in the other Revfire post, it would be great to see what kind of numbers people are getting, so here we go...Age: 12Fastball: 24.0 RPS - 54mph (I didn't have my pocket radar, but I'd bet it was closer to 51-52)Dropball: 22.2 RPS - 55mphRiseball: 22.5 RPS - 54 mphChangeup: 14.0 RPS - 39 mphCurveball: 21.3 RPS - 54 mphScrewball: 23.3 RPS - 54 mphPlease post your numbers. Thanks. Attachments #2 Joined May 13, 2015 Messages 265 Points 18 Location Midwest curious how you got it set to 40' plus the 3' for catcher. my early beta version is 43' +3', I didn't buy a new one, that could be your speed differences and reason for high revs #3 Joined Nov 25, 2012 Messages 1,427 Points 83 Location USA JohnnyO- you can change the distance in the settings. For softball there is 35, 40, 43, and 46. Still waiting for the rain to stop so we can use ours. #4 Joined May 13, 2015 Messages 265 Points 18 Location Midwest hey wow, I've had this for two months and didn't realize if I touched the 43 I could change it. thanks !!!! #5 Joined Dec 5, 2012 Messages 4,016 Points 63 Location Mid West hey wow, I've had this for two months and didn't realize if I touched the 43 I could change it. thanks !!!!
