Hi
I need advise on a radar gun to measure the speed of a tennis serve. I need one that is going to work by simply pointing and measuring. Needs to be fairly acurate. Tennis serves are not as fast as baseball pitches. Any advise is welcome

Hi,

The most commonly recommended radar gun to measure the speed of a tennis serve is the Speedtrac X. This unit is hands free, and will measure up to 150 mph, since professional tennis serves are considerably faster than baseball pitches. Baseball radar guns will not read the speed of a tennis ball faster than 110 mph.
