The Glove Radar is an affordable radar device, accurate to within 1 mph of Radar Guns costing hundreds more! And just like conventional hand-held radar guns, the Glove Radar uses Doppler radar technology to give you a true measure of velocity.

The Glove Radar easily attaches to any glove and can be used with any level of player. Quite simply, "the Glove Radar offers users an opportunity to obtain general velocity readings while playing catch," says Vern Ruhle, former major league pitcher and Cincinnati Reds pitching coach.

It's built to last, thanks to a hard plastic case that is sealed to prevent dust from getting inside the radar device. By getting this small, inexpensive velocity sensor for your player or team, you can begin to make a difference in their throwing capabilities and velocity.

"The Glove Radar features real Doppler radar at a fraction of the price!" - Coach JP

About the Glove Radar

The purpose of the Glove Radar is to assist in developing players' throwing capabilities. It provides instant feedback on their velocity, which increases as players learn to use proper throwing mechanics. The Glove Radar can aid any player throwing from any distance during practice, training, or warm-up sessions.

Some youth league coaches are even using the Glove Radar to help their hitters by adjusting the speed of batting practice pitches to equal or exceed the speed hitters will face in a game.

How It Works

Worn by the receiver of the ball, the Glove Radar measures the speed of the approaching ball a few feet before it is caught in the glove. Basically, it "sees" through the glove, which is essentially transparent to the microwave energy emitted by the radar device. So, unlike most radar guns, a long range capability is not required.

The Glove Radar is truly a microwave Doppler radar, not an impact sensor, so it doesn't depend on a timer or precise throwing distance for accuracy, which is the case with all other inexpensive radar units. Powered by a single cell 3v lithium battery, the Glove Radar displays miles-per-hour speed on a liquid crystal display (LCD). Battery life averages 5,000 speed measurements (over 30 hours of continuous use).

How It Attaches

The Glove Radar attaches to any glove - large or small, baseball or softball - by a strong, weather-resistant nylon cord. The cord is inserted through the Glove Radar's three eyelets, and then secured around the glove's lacing or wrist strap and tied into place behind the glove's fingers, where the Glove Radar can survive the pounding of repeated ball impacts.

How to Use

Attach the Glove Radar to a glove.
Press the push-button "on" switch to energize the radar transmitter. The MPH display will show the last velocity reading.
Press the push-button "on" switch a second time. Two flashing zeroes indicate that the radar is transmitting. The Glove Radar is now ready to use.
After the ball is caught, observe the MPH display to read the ball speed.
Before returning the ball back to the thrower, reset the radar transmitter by depressing the push-button "on" switch, which is large and conveniently located so that it can be found and depressed without actually looking at it.

Note

If the next throw does not occur within 20 seconds, the power saving timer will turn off the radar transmitter. The Glove Radar automatically goes into sleep mode to conserve battery power after one minute of inactivity.

Coach and Player Testimonials

The Glove Radar will help improve your throwing skills with accurate Doppler radar speed measurements!

Ken Griffey Jr. - Cincinnati Reds

The Glove Radar is a great teaching tool. I coach a 12-year old team and the kids can't get enough of it. When the kids get the proper mechanics down, you see their velocity go up.

Pat Tabler - Ex-Major Leaguer & current AABC coach

I was looking for something that was easy to use, durable, accurate, and economical. I have not been disappointed! It is a very effective tool that allows my son to monitor his development and gives him the incentive to keep working at his pitching mechanics.

Pete Vonich - Coach and parent of 7-year old

It has proven to be as accurate as any radar gun that I have used in the past twelve years.

George Martin - Pro scout and High School coach

The Glove Radar is a very useful tool that can help developing pitchers and their coaches. It helps in bullpen workouts by accurately measuring pitch speeds.

Chris Welsh - Former Major League pitcher

The immediate feedback to the pitchers is great! This product has a role at every level.

Bill Long - Former White Sox pitcher and High School coach

I have found the Glove Radar to be extremely accurate when appropriately compared to the release speed and RA guns commonly used by baseball scouts.

Paul Mueller - Former Houston Astros scout
