Must Aim Radar at Release Point
The Smart Coach radar captures a speed reading by sending out a
focused beam of very low power radio waves and looking for them to
bounce off a moving object, such as a ball. These radio waves are
focused in a small cone shaped like a flashlight beam which comes out
the back end of the Smart Coach radar.
When positioning the Smart Coach radar, make sure it is set up and
aimed directly in line with the release point of the ball. This can either
be from behind or in front of the path of where the ball is coming from
(see pg. 49 to learn more about angles and how tilting down or up may
affect a speed reading). Make sure the beam of the Smart Coach radar
is not blocked or obstructed.
Please refer to the illustrations on the
next page for examples of where the Smart Coach radar should be
positioned.
