another product question - rightview pro

We looked into this and last year, our computers couldn't run the program since they were pentium 2s with low memory. However, we have replaced all of our computers with Pentium 4s and now we can run a ton of stuff. I purchased a laptop Dell that can rock and roll. We will now purchase this product and, because I have the laptop, we can take it to the ball diamond or on the bus.

BTW, we are looking at the CE300. I think it is really important that you check out the "System Requirements" before you make a purchase of any of these various programs.

Thanks, coach - that is the product that I was looking at, with the additional pitching section for a little extra.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS?

I own and operate a private hitting/swing instruction facility in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. I purchased the Rightviewpro software just over a year ago. My business has been booming since that purchase. The first thing that I do when a new student comes to my facility is to video him/her, capture the video and synchronize his/her swing with either the Major League players or the Olympic softball players. We then know where to begin our instruction. I have learned a great deal from Don Slaught and his software, as I have from Paul *****, Mike Epstein, Jack Mankin, Steve Englishbey and Bob Bralley. If I am working on posture adjustments for example, I can easily take them to the computer and show them low pitch adjustment (Guerrero) and high pitch adjustment (Pudge Rodriquez) from the pitcher's view. I could go on and on how I use the software, but I'll just say that it is a great teaching tool! Don Slaught is really a nice guy to talk to and is very knowlegable about hitting. Mountainman

Mountainman- Thanks. Did you buy the professional version (the most expensive)? Do you have the one for pitching as well? Just curious...it is a lot of money, but money I think I'll probably spend based on what I've heard from a number of sources.

Coach Knight- I don't have the professional version of Rightviewpro IS300 ($2500). Not quite ready for that plunge. I purchased the CV-300 and the IP300. I haven't purchased the Pitching Model(PM300), but I will. You will be pleased with the CV300 and you can always upgrade to the CE300 or IS300. You will be pleased with your investment.

Thanks, mountainman - I appreciate your input on this.

Mountainman, you have a pm.

will definately have to look into this program ya'll are talking about..Have heard very little. Website??

Saw the demo at the Best in the Midwest clinic, and was really impressed.

CV 300 is all you need, it is a great tool. Not all kids learn the same way. As you might have read somewhere the buckets of learning categories are usually visual, auditory, kinestetic and maybe a few others I am forgetting.

If you instruct a visual learner with all auditory style, he/she is missing part of the equation. While seeing yourself in video typically helps everyone learn, some need it!

You can do before after (over time) comparions, really the possibilities are endless.

For those who have used this software....is the CV300 suitable? What advantages does the CE300 have...I've looked at the website, but am not sure what the benefit would be of going with the higher priced software.

Still no answer to my previous question....perhaps not that many out there who have used both.....Not sure if I want to drop $750 on software if $250 will do. Any thoughts?

If one is handy finding their way around Windows folders, can't a simple program like V1 Home Edition do the same thing?

That's what I figured Doug. I just figured that lots of folks probably have the clips on youthbaseball and was just offering an alternative to viewing those. Of course, they're from all different angles, crops, resolutions, etc. and not of the same quality as RightView.

So if someone's after more/better clips, RV makes sense. If they just wanna be able to draw lines, compare side-by-side, print, etc., V1 might suffice too - and for just $40.
