exit velocity with Stalker Sport?

Afternoon folks,

Recently purchased a Stalker Sport 2 to monitor pitching development of Jr.  Also thought i could track hitting development by watching exit velocity off of a T into a net.  My first trial doing this gave lots of uncertainty, but clustered around what i'm guessing is a bat speed measure and a ball measure.  Lots of odd-ball numbers though so its hard to know what is and isn't real.

I'm guessing I'm not the first to think of this.  Do y'all have any hints or alternative ways I can gather up this information?

Thanks again,

I take a reading in the cage.  I stand about 20' in front of the batter (behind an L-screen) and take a reading from a ball hit off a tee with a wood bat.  You'll get what's called cosine error (and an incorrect reading) if the balls are not hit more-or-less directly at the gun.  If you hit a bunch of balls and measure those hit at the gun you should find the readings cluster around a fairly narrow range of speeds, which I believe to be a reliable measure of exit velocity.

Try standing behind the batter (home plate) directly inline with the pitch/tee (may need to have a net between you and batter if using live pitching). This has worked well for me.

Are you saying that i can get an accurate reading for a ball traveling away from me?  

We'll I'll be...  didn't know that

I think i might have been a little close to the hitter behind the screen.  Will try giving it a little more distance to pick up the ball.
