6. Clocking A Speed Reading
The JUGS Gun™ detects targets moving either toward or away from it. The
radar measures the true release speed with an accuracy of +1 display unit,
approximately 12 inches (30 centimeters), from the pitcher’s hand before
the pitch loses speed. For the most accurate reading, stand to one side
of the catcher and point the gun toward the pitch so the radar beam is
parallel to the direction of the ball. Also, you can stand behind the pitcher
to position the radar. The radar will detect speeds within a 300 feet (91
meters) range. However, when the gun is closer to the release pitch, the
speed reading is more accurate.
The radar gun operates in five modes: Fast, Last, Fast/Last,
Continuous and Auto.
6.1 Fast Mode (Fast icon only shows in display)
In this mode, The JUGS Gun
™
will display the pitch-release speed (the
speed of the ball as it leaves the pitcher’s hand). To activate the radar
beam, pull the trigger. The JUGS Gun
™
will display the fastest out of the
range of speeds it detects in the left hand side of the window. To lock the
speed reading release the trigger. The speed will show in the window for
the length of hold time that has been set.
6.2 Last Mode (Last icon only shows in display)
In this mode The JUGS Gun
™
will display the catch speed (speed of the ball
when it is caught). To activate the radar beam, pull the trigger. The JUGS
