Reviews & Ratings for Pocket Radar All Purpose Classic Speed Radar Gun PR1000 — 19 reviews — Page 1

I like the compact size --- the only drawback is the sensitivity of having to be in front or back of item or person being clocked. The look is sharp. It provides multiple reads to give quick comparison.

My daughter plays fast pitch A travel softball, its important to know her speeds on her pitches. About 6 months ago i bought a cheaper hand held bulkier radar gun, it was horrible if she threw a pitch around 50 m.p.h. it could read 32 m.p.h. just NOT A GOOD PRODUCT, I heard so many good things about the pocket radar gun..needless to say the product is AWESOME..SPEEDS ARE RIGHT ON THE MONEY..IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A GREAT RADAR GUN THAT IS ACCURATE THE POCKET RADAR GUN IS THE PERFECT FIT...GRADE A+

We use this today to help the team in performance drills from hitting, pitching, and throws from outfield. It is also use to have fun with drills. It is a team favorite. Thanks for the design and durability.
Pros: Great tool for performance or even to have fun with drills
Cons: I wish I had purchased the ball coach model

What I love most about the Pocket Radar is it's convenient size. I had a bigger "pistol" radar gun, but it was so bulky and conspicuous, that I stopped taking it to games. With the Pocket Radar, many people think I'm using my cell phone. I can't tell you how many times people ask me what app I am using to record the pitching speeds.
Pros: Accurate, easy to use, portable
Cons: None

I have used radar guns in baseball training for pitching and hitting for a long time and this is the best unit ever. It only weighs a few ounces and is accurate as any other out there. It does trigger different so you have to read the instructions or you won't know what you are doing, but it is a small price to pay for the convenience. The only downside is the 120 feet of range is not long enough to sit in the stands for scouting. If you want a long range scouting gun this is not it. If you want a great radar for use in training and coaching this is the best one out there.
Pros: Fits in your Pocket
Cons: Not for Scouting

I use radar for baseball. I have a Stalker, and have owned several others. I am sorry to say this is the worst, of five that I have owned. Does not always pickup speed, you must position carefully (not something I do with Stalker). When it works, it reads consistently low.
Pros: Simple
Cons: Does not work, highly inaccurate, inconsistent

I've had this device for about 14 months...to say that it has exceeded my expectation is an understatement. I compared its accuracy to a much more expensive gun; a friend of mine and I simultaneously tracked pitch speed...in each and every instance, we were pretty much dead on - he paid nearly $700 for his! Obviously this gun is easy to carry and just as easy to point-and-shoot to use. I think that, more than anything else, the thing that has impressed me is that I can use it from the stands and still get accurate reading...just didn't expect this level of quality in such a small package. I'm trying to be unbiased here and list some things that I don't really like about it, too. But to be honest, there just isn't much. Maybe the 2x the price of a Bushnell?...even at that, I feel it's more than worth that difference in portability alone. I highly recommend the Pocket Radar to anyone (everyone?) who'll listen.
Pros: accuracy, portability, ease of use, range
Cons: ...tough to say...

An excellent product from an excellent company, Pocket Radar is as accurate as any of the best in the markdet for a fraction of the cost. Excellent service if you should ever need it.

Very good product. I received my Pocket Radar on Thursday, and used it immediately at a softball tournament. The readings seemed accurate and were consistent. The device fits easily into my pocket which makes it very convenient. People do not realize it is a radar device, they think that I am just taking a picture.
Pros: Size, Consistency of readings
Cons: The timing of pressing the button takes a little getting used to.

For a device so small and simple to use, I am very impressed with the capability and reliability of the Pocket Rader. I bought the device to measure the speed of my 13 year old daughter's serve (tennis) and monitor her progress over time. I have found the device to be very effective in doing so. My daughter has also found the device to be a great learning tool, in that now she can relate speed to the "feel" of the serve. In other words, if she uses more racquet speed, drives more with the legs, uses more body rotation.. she sees her serve speed jump. The result has been such that she is improving her technique and using her body more effectively. Bottom line, while I bought this to check her serve speed, I am finding it to provide her with valuable self-learning.
