PG Showcase Radar Readings

Hey all. Son just went to PG showcase and radar readings were surprising. I thought low 80s, read cruising 75, topped out at 78. I'm his Dad, so take my post with a grain of salt. I'm also an ex player so I do a lot of eye ball testing when I watch games and I felt like the gun was off 2-3 mph for other kids too. Bunch of people (not pitcher's Dads) behind gun were all saying the same, that kids at 83-84 seemed 86+. Watching the gun is like going to Web MD to check your symptoms. Drives you nuts. Anyone else have an experience similar? I know the Stalker is the best gun out there and PG knows what it's doing but eye ball test and gun weren't aligning to me. The good news: it pissed my son off so I think he's extra motivated now. Wanted to throw again on Day 2 to hit 80 but told him his call but I wouldn't do it. Has some time to improve velo. Thankfully he listened to his old man. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I realize I might have been seeing what I wanted to see, not what was real. Ball don't lie, right?
