official TechDisc website<\/a>.<\/p>\nBoth training devices offer different ways to make your disc golf practice more measurable, structured, and effective.<\/p>\n
One Speed Radar Gun for Many Different Sports<\/h3>\n
The Smart Coach Pocket Radar is much more than a disc golf training device. Wherever balls or other suitable sports objects move at high speeds, measuring their velocity can provide valuable feedback.<\/p>\n
Baseball and Softball<\/h4>\n
Measure pitching speeds and track your progress during throwing practice. For players, coaches, and clubs, consistent speed measurements are a valuable addition to technical training and performance analysis.<\/p>\n
Tennis and Badminton<\/h4>\n
How fast is your tennis serve or badminton smash? With a suitable measurement setup, you can record speeds and compare different hitting techniques. In badminton, correct radar positioning and appropriate measurement conditions are particularly important because of the shuttlecock’s unique flight characteristics.<\/p>\n
Soccer and Volleyball<\/h4>\n
The radar can also be used for training analysis in soccer and volleyball. Measure the speed of a soccer shot, volleyball serve, or attacking spike under suitable conditions.<\/p>\n
Compare different techniques and monitor your progress across training sessions.<\/p>\n
Other and Less Common Sports<\/h4>\n
The Pocket Radar is also an interesting training tool for less common sports and specialized training activities. Whether you’re measuring throwing, striking, or shooting movements, the radar offers a wide range of potential applications.<\/p>\n
Measurement performance depends on the object’s speed, radar alignment, and environmental conditions. Not every sport or movement can be measured equally reliably under all circumstances.<\/p>\n
Video Analysis with the Pocket Radar App<\/h3>\n
One of the standout features of the Smart Coach Pocket Radar<\/strong> is its Bluetooth connection to a compatible app. This allows you to combine speed measurements with video recordings for a more detailed analysis of your technique.<\/p>\nDuring video recording, the app can automatically create a clip covering approximately six seconds before and two seconds after a measurement. The recorded speed is displayed directly in the video.<\/p>\n
This makes it easy to review your movements alongside the measured results. For example, you can compare two disc golf throws and see which technique generated greater speed.<\/p>\n
For coaches, sports clubs, and dedicated athletes, this is a practical way to document training sessions and track performance improvements over time.<\/p>\n
Auto Stop and Continuous Modes \u2013 Choose the Right Measurement Mode<\/h3>\nAuto Stop \u2013 Individual Speed Measurements<\/h4>\n
In Auto Stop mode, the measurement is restarted for each attempt. This is particularly useful for individual throws or shots and can help reduce power consumption.<\/p>\n
Continuous \u2013 Measure Multiple Attempts<\/h4>\n
In Continuous mode, the radar measures repeatedly without requiring you to manually trigger each measurement. This is ideal for consecutive throws, shots, or training sessions involving multiple athletes.<\/p>\n
Results can be displayed in the app and announced through audio feedback, so you receive immediate information without returning to the radar after every attempt.<\/p>\n
How to Get Reliable Speed Measurements<\/h3>\n
For the most accurate results, position the Pocket Radar as closely as possible along the direction of the moving ball or object.<\/p>\n
The radar measures the component of velocity directed toward or away from the device. If positioned at a significant angle to the object’s path, the displayed speed may be lower than its actual speed.<\/p>\n
For consistent training results, we recommend:<\/p>\n
\n- Aligning the radar as closely as possible with the throwing or flight direction.<\/li>\n
- Using the same measurement setup when comparing results.<\/li>\n
- Taking multiple measurements rather than relying on a single maximum speed.<\/li>\n
- Using a suitable throwing net for controlled disc golf practice when appropriate.<\/li>\n
- Positioning the device safely outside the path of moving sports equipment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
When tracking progress, a consistent measurement setup is often more valuable than a single record-breaking result.<\/p>\n
Double Mount \u2013 Convenient for Regular Training<\/h3>\n
At Discgolf4you, the Smart Coach Pocket Radar comes with the Double Mount<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThis practical accessory allows you to position the radar on a suitable mounting setup, eliminating the need to hold it throughout your training session.<\/p>\n
It’s especially useful when practicing alone, performing multiple measurements in a row, or recording video analysis.<\/p>\n
A fixed radar position also helps maintain consistent measurement conditions when comparing throws or shots.<\/p>\n
